(Backerkit) Terraforming Mars: The RPG

 It's been a year of some hardcore, overmarketed  licensed RPGs getting crowdfunded. I didn't expect to see an ad for Terraforming Mars: The RPG coming to Backerkit, but it was subtle and smooth enough for for me to sign up for the launch.  

I like Terraforming Mars the board game, heck I've run a few sessions of my own Terraforming Mars RPG, using Risus, many moons ago.  At worst, it's a single planet version of Traveller. 

But then the game launched, a I realized who the authors for the project were: 

Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan.  

If it's going to be green thumb Traveller, it's going to be the best green thumb Traveller it can be.  

The writers are top-notch, the artwork is great, and the number of volumes dedicated to this game are impressive... and the pricing matches.
