SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The proliferation of crowdfunding via Kickstarter and IndieGoGo has led to a lot of RPGs being released through methods other then traditional channels or DTRPG.  As a result it's getting harder to keep track of everything being released as an author that needs to use crowdfunding doesn't have a lot of advertising money.

How do you guys keep track of crowdfunding projects?  Every Kickstarter project has it's own RSS feed, however, that is for project updates, there is no "timer" RSS feed.

Maybe we can keep a stickied forum thread where people can keep us apprised via reminders.

This seems like a perfect Chrome or Firefox plug-in waiting to happen, Crowdfunding Timer.

RPG.net has a meta-thread but it's a mess.

It's fine if you're keeping up with it, but I wouldn't suggest reading it from the beginning. Start at the end and work your way backward a little. Then subscribe to the thread and get email updates. Bam.

Mess is debatable, but I think it's the most complete list I've seen anywhere so far.
