Is this spam?
Like, I'll be honest, the site doesn't really inspire me confidence. It's also trying to sell me homebrew rules without letting me check anything out in advance. And what does "beta" mean? Are the rules complete? Do I get less than the one subclass for each class that I was promised? Are they tested? $15 dollars for a google Drive link sounds awfully expensive as well.
The subclass documentation is mostly finished now, but I need your help for the all-important final step: Play Testing.
And they're not even playtested? You're asking people to pay $15 dollars upfront to have the privilege of giving you feedback! And what the heck does "mostly finished" mean? Are you selling this thing before even finishing writing it?
And why is it recommending me overpriced shirts and hoodies alongside DnD homebrew rules?
If that's you selling this thing, you should improve your marketing skills, because that site looks more fake than my heterosexuality.
