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.

While I've only been totally burned by 1 kickstarter (Sandy Peterson, who currently has about 5 that are years behind), only a couple, notably Greg Gillespie, have ever delivered on time.  Goodman Games, for example, is always at least a few months late, sometimes more.  Troll Lord is the same.  So by the time I get stuff, I'm sometimes no longer interested in the product or maybe not even playing that particular game.

I'm trying to pull back on it because I just have too much stuff and not enough time.  Right now I think I've got 4 things coming, one of which was backed in 2022.

That makes sense.  I have trimmed my collection down to only the things that I use myself so I really no longer need to buy anything more anyway.  So Kickstarters to me are moot at this point.

Is this how it works now? Something happens then people start laying odds about what crazy people* are gonna do? We know what they're gonna do because they never deviate from the STORY™



They are the Good Guys. You are the Bad Guys.

I don't do many KS anymore. I have never been completely burned by any that I have backed. The closest I came was the Dwimmermount fiasco years ago. I do still back Reaper Mini KS because the campaign offers great lower than retail prices for stuff that I will most likely buy anyway. They are usually on time also.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Same. I don't buy badman games stuff anymore since the whole pronoun thing. But even before that I hated Goodman's kickstarters. You miss it and there's a ton of stuff you'll never have.

I back so few kickstarters anymore. Just basically what I deem a great value, bang for the buck.
