There is nothing evil with an Oujia board, and nothing unscientific either.

It works like this: A few people touch the pointer thingy. The thingy thing moves and points onto something.

Why does it move? Subconscious we start moving into the direction that we expect the thing will move, it is just a little, but it adds up when multiple persons do it. That is the whole magic beyond it. A simple trick. It is kind of fascination though, as it will move into the direction that the group is expecting as it does not need necessary follow your expectations.

It is not that easy to just change an actual reward that people have already pledged for. Kickstarter doesn't allow editing the tier descriptions, at least in part so that there is no appearance of fraud with rewards being changed after the fact. There are certainly ways to change rewards when required, but to even clarify something or add rewards, you basically need to make the current tier limited and add a duplicate with the updated description.

Even if nobody pledged specifically for the Ouija board, and nobody had any objection to that reward being changed, the process of determining that and making it happen would be neither quick nor easy.


As still would not mind if you guys open a new tier without the board. Maybe enough people upgrade to that you guys can make sure that the cloth map is not as bad as last time :p

Come on guys @Hisshou wrote a pretty detailed comment as to why there's nothing special about a Ouija board compared to another piece of wood.

It's not that long ago that people thought that D&D was evil and about devil worship. Imagine if someone simply decided that Scrabble was spirits contacting you (instead of a game for your grandma to wreck you at) depending on what letters came out first.

I personally love the idea of a Ouija board, dice would have been good, so would a cloth map. However I think the Ouija board fits thematically, and I love Larians creativity as a company, and would only suggest they change something if it didn't fit.

This is P&R bait and I'm not sure I'm allowed to respond candidly to this. Suffice to say that Larian is a belgian developer and the idea that ouija boards are a real thing, or even spirits for that matter, is taken as absurd in most of Europe.

Just because nobody involved in adding the ouija board anticipated that some people would be so strongly opposed to them, doesn't mean Larian doesn't care about that once it is brought up.

Candid is fine (excluding the gratuitous use of profanity, but like 99.98% of forum users, you seem more than articulate enough to get your point across without dropping to that level).

Maybe, in similar vein to Apocalypse's suggestion, they could open an alternate tier with a T-Shirt instead of the board.

So much superstitious bullshit in this thread. Makes me want the Ouija board more, even though I think it's a weak reward.

For some of us, at least, it's more about what it symbolizes than anything else.
