[Update: Goal reached!] Kickstarter is live!

I'd imagine trying to handle 150 or so people writing their own stories and traits would be overwhelming.

As overwhelming as it might be at first, it could also very well end up being easier for Tynan than having to create those backgrounds and traits by himself.
Reviewing them will take some time, but a first pass can be done by the community here.

In the end, the more (N)PC backgrounds, the more diversity in-game, which is always good.

Huh, reddit has a lot of referrals, the subreddit seems to be working.

I guess I just disagree .  I view the designer as more of an artist, and thus, the game as a work of art.  And that is usually a singular vision.

Yeah, I'm thinking more about exactly how to handle this. I think I - maybe with a bit of help - will just have to go through and check the entries. It won't take too long at 90 seconds each. I'm going to write a KS update at some point describing the specific quality standards because I don't want anything weird slipping into the game.

not necessarily. referrer means clickthroughs, and i think that everyone or most who subscribed to the dedicated subreddit would've clicked through from the email update. more likely the clickthroughs came from the posts on other subreddits.

this also means the referrer stats miss out on posters who link the RPS article etc since the clickthrough goes from there. whatever "reddit effect" is always an underestimate.

(...) I don't want anything weird slipping into the game.

Wait, what ?!
You wouldn't dare refusing my 15-on-every-stat character if I up my pledge to the Mercenary tier, would you ?

I am happy to help with that if you need it, sounds like a good quality control method.
