I must say this, been able to take in a constructive criticism is the best possible thing for a designer...or for a worker of any kind.
Some time ago I posted a thing on BGG about another project, called HONOR, where knights would train and fight till one gets enough honor to be the Lord. Well, the thing is, I asked if people thought the concept was nice, and most of the answers were like 'playtest it and you will see'...dude? come on I know that, I was just asking if it would get their interest...and well, today I noticed I had received a 'geekmail'.
In this 'geekmail' one person said what he thought about my project, not so much in details, but what looked interesting and what not, and well, that's it right? doesn't really look special right?
I actually haven't been this excited about that project for some time...and dude, the opinion the person gave me was more for a negative one...the thing is, I took everything he said and letting my pride aside, I took it in you know?
he gave me an honest feedback, and even cared about sending the mail to me after some time the post had been dead, so I'm really appreciate even if that guy was a 'nobody' :) (as I'm one too lol) .
The thing is, I got hyped, time to work!
