I'm making a board game based on A Night In The Lonesome October. If we define success as "it's good enough that I try to get the rights to the material and am able to and sell it commercially and it does well", that'd be nice but it's not the point. If we define success as "I have fun with some friends and family" then I definitely care whether it succeeds or not.
