Here's the game you own the rights to.
That sounds exactly it, yes. I actually had to explain to them, like, you know, the people I was talking to did not know what D&D was. And so I had to kind of put that together and say, okay, well, let me, let me put the, it was, it had to be, it was a PowerPoint. It put together and I'm like, it explains what D and D is first. And then goes into like, you know, what the, what fantasy star is.
And the, and I kind of explained that like fantasy star was like a huge inspiration for the RPG that I already made, which was Esper Genesis. So I'm kind of bringing that full circle back to, you know, Phantasy Star, which was one of the licenses I wanted to go with.
It is.
Yes. The reason why I said powered by Esper Genesis is because it has a lot of the sci-fi elements that are unique, like the starships and the gear and all of that and rules that are not in standard 5e. Yeah. It's more of that than just like the core mechanics.
sort of primer just really quick and then we'll go back to fantasy star just so people know the context we're talking really quick it's heroic you know science fiction you know powered by powered by fifth edition it has uh it has sci-fi like you know planets and gear and starships and robots and you know rules for like the matrix and like you know basically taking anything that you would you would see as far as creating something fantasy for dnd and creating something sci-fi
Yes. As for Genesis-wise, when I originally designed it, I designed it so that if you really wanted to, you could put a dwarf in a starship. And it'll work.
Now it's kind of, you know, it's going a little bit different now. You know, D&D is doing its own thing. So I am doing that as well. Yeah, fair enough.
Yes.
No, that is also going to be standalone. Okay. However, I am going to design it so that if you really wanted to blow it out to other things, you can always take the Esper Genesis rule.
Well, there's also, there's a lot of, a lot of people like, you know, bash on it because of, you know, it's, it's, it's existing elements, but there's, there's so much you can do with it that a lot of people haven't tried. Yeah. Yeah. And they ask you, they're like, oh, why would you want to do that when there's other systems? I'm like, well, because everyone knows this one.
and because i know and because i know this one you know so because i'll sell 10 times as many books by using 5e yeah then i've been playing dnd for you know since my teens so like yeah so fancy star coming to kickstarter is it next year i know it's 2025 no kickstarter no kickstarter oh okay yeah that's that's no no no that's that is well that's actually part of part of my agreement Right, yeah.
Got it, right.
Which is kind of like, okay, I understand from their point of view. From my point of view, it's like, what, you don't think this is going to make money? Of course it is. It's going to make a lot of money. But yeah, I do understand that's how they operate as a company is concerned with everything else.
There's also an image thing, right? As a big company, if you've been around for that long and you're not really too familiar with the TTRPG space... Why would you need to crowdfund? A, why would you need to crowdfund? And B, do you want to put your official IP or your logo or something on someone else's...
I'm kind of looking at it from the 10,000-foot view and going, okay, it sucks, but I really want to do this project.
I did not put together a hard date because I learned my lesson from...
from the last from the last project i still have a i i have a kickstarter that only now uh that we that we had actually established a skydon game studio we kind of we kind of took over the production and are and are getting things out but you know you know the kick the kickstarter is like well you know well over well over a year late on delivery and that was because we had when we originally concepted it we had put together kind of like a whole a whole thing like a a
Actually, not long after we did our interview here, you know, one of my business partners, he unfortunately passed away.
And then like everything kind of like collapsed under our feet, you know, after that. And then, you know, time and like projects and like everything, like, you know, we were having issues handling a lot of things. And then... We had like the whole thing changed with the printing that became three times worth three times as expensive as it used to be. And and so I'm just kind of planning ahead.
