I really want to... Deluxe edition, shit load of material as PDF and in general a good team that seem to get the spirit of the game...
But its sooo damn expensive. $135 for a single book, no matter how big, just sits heavy with me.

Indeed...
I do like the real book though... its just that 135 is too much for it. I remember a time in the not so distant past that core books costed 60$ and we considered THAT expensive...
So to fork 135 for a book that indeed has a lot of passion and work done on it but in the end is a reprint of books I already own (Most of the Tradition books, a couple Convention ones, the Guide to Technocracy, Ascension and off course the core) feels wrong. If it was priced at around 80-90 I could stomach it.
I saw they had a level of rewards that gave the developers some more cash for their work... I thought that was ace. Rewarding them for the success... but how about another tier of rewards that because of the success and economies of scale goes ahead and gives US a 20% discount on the physical copy!!!

That printed book is going to be friggin huge, tho, plus full color and leatherette cover. A b/w POD copy will likely be less expensive thru DriveThru. I'll just pick up the PDF.

Also, to be fair, it's not 135 dollars for just the book. You're getting that, the PDF, and a huge discount on the PoD version for extra copies, not to mention anything that comes up in the stretch goals.

Ok so I couldnt resist in the end.
When they said Technocracy was a stretch goal I had to pledge... unfortunately it didnt reach that goal but still...
Apparently this is the 2nd highest RPG Kickstarter ever... Exalted being the highest.
