GrandpaPants posted:The Manhattan Project Mega Expansion - Received, kinda regret. No knock on the campaign, but this was the project that made me really look into whether or not I'd actually like a game before I'd Kickstart it, and whether it's actually a decent deal otherwise. Am actively trying to sell this. I've got a couple like that - games that aren't terrible but if I'd seen them on a store shelf, I wouldn't have thought of buying them. I'm looking more closely at projects now - when will they arrive, who's doing them, are the rules available and do I really want this ...

From the top; Better Angels Delivered (PDF), bit late, but okay progress reports. Exalted 3rd 'Late', but I think we always knew that. Decent rate of updates though, so not too worried. Assault:19xx Listed as due last November, received this week. Wrath of Kings *Might* meet the May delivery date, but not expecting anything. 404: Law Not Found Due May, will probably hit it, doesn't help that the creator's relatively low rate of updates at the moment correspond to part of Worcester being under water... Tianxia Due December, by all appearances should be soon. Iron Edda Due June, looks like it might hit that. NIKA Due July, no reason to believe it won't get close.

VoodooXT posted:*Apotheosis Drive X - Nope, haven't received it yet but the updates are a loving laugh. The dude is literally Job from the Bible. This is looking like it's going to be my first kickstarter failure. It's seven months late (after claiming to be able to do a 3-month turnaround), and his current excuse for not releasing the game is, I poo poo you not, that he is on the run from bandits. I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Better Angels and Killsplosion were more or less on time, Age Past and Chronicles of the Void ran way behind schedule but finally finished earlier this winter. 13 True Ways is slow going, but at least regularly updates; Spheres of Power is my most recent buy-in, mostly cause the manuscript only level was dirt cheap (I wish more RPG campaigns did that.) They're both unfinished, but not unreasonably behind. Still waiting on Far West and Quantum, though. Quantum's inching on 2 years behind promised delivery with the creator is 6 months since last login or communication of any sort. Probably outta luck on that one. The less said about FW the better, enough ink's been spilled on Skarka's behalf. Only ever kicked Sunrise City as far as board games go, but that turned out okay. Got it + the Alien Frontiers line and even managed to get a second copy of SC due to shipping snafu.

Base Raiders: The Superpowered Dungeon Crawling RPG - Received and LPing Mummy: The Curse Core Rulebook - Received and read. now I must find time to run it. Fate Core - Received and running a game with Real Life Friends - their first RPG! Machine of Death: The Game of Creative Assassination - Received and waiting for a games day.

Technically his excuse was that his house was repeatedly targeted for break-ins, which is totally understandable since it also happens around here, and he's currently in the middle of moving out of a horrible neighborhood. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt right now.

Lists! Who doesn't love lists? Miniature Wargaming - Flying Assault Butts - Still waiting and a bit worried, though Joe says he's working through them Toys for your toys - Science Fiction Wargaming Accessories - Delivered minus my bonus sprue. Products were decent but lots of grumbling from backers it seems Deadzone: The Sci-fi Miniatures Board Game - Wave 1 received though missing most of my rebs faction and a marauder booster. Good product though and Mantic's a reputable company so hoping what I'm missing will get sent. The "Mississauga FedEx shipping issue" was really frustrating but didn't stop me from dumping more in wave 2 Cthulhu Wars - Not due yet. Love me some elder gods and looks fun but want to see the minis in person before deciding to sell/keep Raging Heroes - The Toughest Girls of the Galaxy - Not due yet but still waiting for a survey. Updates have been slow and really only got in for a single model to paint for my sister so not too worried if they flop, but doubt they will WARMACHINE: TACTICS - Not due yet. Just grabbed the game. Kind of just an impulse backing Reaper Miniatures Bones II: The Return Of Mr Bones! - Not due yet. Kicking myself for being broke and not getting in the first one. Wanna swim in all the models like Scrooge McDuck in his gold~ Games & Gears Battle Boards - Not due yet. Updates have been a wee slow but eager to get a full board to play on! HEX MMO Trading Card Game - Playing the alpha now and enjoying it. Considering we're only seeing the tip of what's planned, I'm expecting something awesome come the final product. Fills that online gaping hole MtG left wide open, and scratches that itch Chron X started. DreadBall Xtreme - Still going. Not sure if I'll have enough kicking about to get it come the end, but heard good things about DreadBall 1 Still waiting on too much to give a real feel of my KS experience, but so far I'd give my overall run a 7/10.

I have only backed three Kickstarters, but they've all been TG-related. Golden Sky Stories: Got the physical stuff, have had the digital stuff for ages, just waiting on some digital stretch goal stuff. Inverse World: Got the DW pdf, FATE rules coming soon I hear. Iron Edda: Not even close to due yet. Enjoy reading the preview rules though.

Don't see it posted here, but these guys are in their final 48: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/956725513/ryan-smiths-city?ref=48hr I like citybuilders, and it looks neat enough to support multiple plays, but the art on this one is meh... Trying to not let it bother me though, because shipping included what the what. This is either super lightweight or these guys are going to take a hit on fulfillment. * And while we're talking about our lists, I have two that stand out. Dungeon Roll, which I bought on a whim because it was crazy funded, and it turned out great (minus the booster heroes wtf). Everyone bitching to TMG about how they got it late are idiots. Machine of Death, which I haven't even opened because what's the point? I bought it for the webcomics people, and even now it seems like the dude was entirely too high on his idea/hipsterism/wordy everything.

^^ Yeah what's the issue with Machine of Death, is it missing promised bits? I've opened mine but not had a chance to play it yet.King Burgundy posted:Seeing all these lists and not seeing Xia. Am I the only one that backed that? I thought about going in for it, but really couldn't justify the funds at the time, figured I'd grab it at retail if it turns out well. Underground Lasers 2 is almost down to the final day, and a pretty good deal for some really cool stuff, for those wanting terrain. The more people back, the more free train containers we all get

Oooh we're listing success and failures? Chronologically: The Doom that Came to Atlantic City - lol Tammany Hall - Received Ground Floor - Received, a GREAT game Urbanization - Received, but I regret it - it's a bit too euro Disaster Looms - Received, and also regret it - shoddy quality and terrible support Gauntlet of Fools - Received very quickly - solid quick filler game Guts of Glory - Received, took forever but the game is fun and hilarious Perfect Heist - Received, Munchkin clone filler game Democracy - stillllllllllll waiting Nothing Personal - Received - this shipped around the same time as Euphoria and Coup so I still haven't actually played it yet, the components are a great quality though Compounded: Better Gaming Through Chemistry - Received - great quality components as well but it's in the same boat as Nothing Personal, hoping to play it sometime soon Dungeon Roll - Received, fun as single player or small group Coup - Received, seems to be all we've been playing Euphoria - Received, seems to be what we play when we have more time or fewer people Dominion Storage Case - Received a few months late, but it's amazing, fits everything the dividers are great, inserts are great, and it has very solid construction - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1423575262/dominion-storage-case - she's going to produce more once the KS orders are filled A Duel Betwixt Us - survey completed, Game Salute redeemed, post from project last week said they're waiting on hard proofs Get Lucky the Kill Doctor Lucky Card Game - not due yet, "at the printer" Dungeon Roll Winter Promo - delayed (was supposed to be Feb), estimated in May now TEK - funding just finished Scoville - funding just finished

Generally I've had a pretty successful time on kickstarter; of the 62 projects I've backed over the past 2 years the only TG-related ones I've had any cause to worry about are:
Generally I've found the RPG kickstarters are a lot more reliable than board game or video game ones, although things can still go very wrong when people over-promise stretch goals. These days I'm mainly going to back kickstarters that give everyone (or all backers) access to a draft of the text - it's worked out very well with Fate Core, Mummy the Curse and Demon the Descent, and the Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide, and it's probably the model I'd use for any kickstarters I plan on running in the future.

Wicked Fantasy: Got the PDFs; I don't even know if we got the Dungeon World races, since that's the only reason I actually backed it.

Dungeonmorph Dice: Got my set, been meaning to pick up the other sets. REIGN Grab Bag, Out of the Violent Planet, REIGN of Arduin, NAIN: Got all these delivered a while ago. And that's just the tabletop stuff. Far West is currently the furthest behind (funded in August 2011), with Metamorposis Alpha a close second (September 2012). I'm also waiting on 13 True Ways, The Reliquary, Interface Zero (which I have the PDF for, anyway), my Doppleganger piece, Apotheosis Drive X, OVA, Monsterhearts Second Skins, Chuubo, and Rosemont Bay; all of which were estimated for last year. Deck of Legends, Jadepunk, Stab City, Grim World hardcopy, Inverse World, and Ryuutama are all expected later this year and I think are on track. I've backed waaaaaay too many things.

Psh.   Statuses: Reaper Bones: Got everything, everything seems to be intact, maybe a few missing figures but Reaper's real good about replacements, one of the safest investments I've made Fate Core: Got the PDFs, didn't ask for more. Zombicide: CMON is reliable and while the minis were so much uglier than I thought that I wound up hocking the thing for a quarter grand, the game looked pretty fun. I might consider re-buying a copy and using my own minis down the road. Dreamforge Games Leviathans and Eisenkern Infantry: This one, well, a lot happened. As you can see, it had an estimated delivery date of October 2012, but a full half of my order has yet to arrive, though he's been making good on keeping in touch with his backers. Lots of problems in manufacturing and such, HOWEVER, he has come through on the first two parts of the three parts I ordered: the Leviathan Crusaders and Eisenkern Infantrymen as well as the Leviathan Mortis kits. All that remains are the Eisenkern Valkyr(basically Space Marines), and he's been posting progress updates as those go through the manufacturing process in China. They look outstanding, and if they're even remotely similar to the quality on the Leviathans and Eisenkern Infantry, they'll be definite must-buys for folks looking for cheap, high-quality Space Marine replacements. Dude is cool and readily replies to emails sent to him too, I talked to him for a bit. He's been struggling through all this but is slowly making good on his promises, and they are of the highest quality, even nicer stuff than GW in many cases! Dragon's Hoard: Just received this in the mail a couple weeks ago, it looks fantastic. My roommate got a kick out of the Damsel/Mansel story, too. Rivet Wars: Got it in a timely manner, typical CMON reliability. Deadzone: Got the first wave, only real complaint was that they just kinda tossed everything(plastic-bagged) into a big box mixed with popcorn, so if you were careful you could accidentally toss out some minis or bases. All of the bases were loose in the shipping box which just is INSANE to me since those can slip out of anything. Quality's good on the minis though, really looking forward to the Not-Squat Bikers I ordered, too. Dreadball: I missed pledging for this by literally ten minutes thanks to an internet outage, but they let me pledge post-KS and I bought the 750 dollar or whatever triple-set bundle with some extras. What showed up was good quality though a little flimsy plastic-wise(Deadzone fixed this issue handily), the minis are mostly pretty sweet though. Still waiting on a final shipment I think, or it might be in the small box I received a month or two ago that I still need to sort through but keep forgetting about. Reaper Bones II: Dumped quite a lot on much more specific things this time around, though it'd have been nice to be able to get more than ten of a given thing. Fully expecting excellent quality like the first round of Bones. Iron Edda: The premise alone had me, so I tossed a few bucks in for it, should make for at least an interesting read even if it turns out to be a dud. Mars Attacks: Bought the bundle, looks interesting.

I've kickstarted about 50 things, and so far I've only had 3 not come through (yet): Monsterhearts 2, Obsidian Portal, and The Reliquary. I don't think any of those are going to leave me hanging forever. Kickstarter is pretty good.

My first kickstarter was to build a statue of Robocop in Detroit. It is actually happening, despite reaching funding about three years ago. I guess bronze work on a ten foot tall Robocop takes a while. My other projects are the Deck of Legends (which is apparently lost in the ether), Bones 2, and Tiny Epic Kingdoms. I'm almost getting upset about the Deck of Legends. How long does it take to get playing cards printed?

I didn't start doing Kickstarter until Deck of Legends, so I haven't received anything from what I've backed yet. Actually, that's not true! I got the PDFs for Accursed, and Grim World is basically done. Pretty much everything else hasn't hit its estimated date yet, so now I just sit back and wait for games to wash over me.

Swagger Dagger posted:I've kickstarted about 50 things, and so far I've only had 3 not come through (yet): Monsterhearts 2, Obsidian Portal, and The Reliquary. My understanding of the stats is that the number of Kickstarters where there's fraud / the project leader just disappears is reasonably small. The number running massively late ... that's a lot bigger. Of course, I wonder how much those stats might be affected by projects that are just nominally alive or making progress.

Fun with lists! V20 Companion Delux Edition: My name's in the credits! Gunship First Strike: Got it. Alright game, but I'm trying to trade it. Fleet: Best thing I've gotten through kickstarter. Serpent's Tongue: I forgot I was actually getting something from this. Should investigate. Children of the Revolution Deluxe: Name's in the credits on this, too! Mr. Card Game: This is over a year late, but it's finally shipping. I'm willing to forgive these guys, since they've kept everyone updated, and it's their first game. It's also a fun game! Maze of Games: More credits! Expedition: Famous Explorers: Even more credits! Zombicide Season 2: My friend really likes this, so I threw $5 at it for him. Sails of Glory: Name on the website! Moby Dick: Only a couple months late. Not a fantastic game, but I couldn't resist Moby Dick. Canterbury: Got this on time. Nice little area control game. Galactic Strike Force: Been delayed until May. Fleet: Artic Bounty: Now shipping, only a couple of months late. Fief: Only just backed; don't foresee any problems.

Dungeon World, Durance, Reaper I, Dice Rings, Where Art Thou Romeo: All good, everything received and on time. Board Game Chests: Just got cheap Eclipse trays, they should arrive on time by the updates. Tiny Epic Kingdoms, Fief, This Town Ain't Big Enough: I don't see any problems with these, besides maybe some delay on TEK. Last Stand: I think these got to most backers? Dunno. Never got mine, and I think he sent another one when I sent a Kickstarter message, but I never got that one either. I don't have an RP group these days so I'm not bothered about it.

Lagoon just hit $100,000, which means everyone will get 19mm wooden seed tokens (12 of each seed type for 36 total). Now apparently there's going to be some kind of special stretch goal at 125,000. I guess they'll reveal it once they see that the last goal was unlocked.

Not done all that many myself: Dungeon World: all good Kingdom: likewise. Tiny Epic Kingdoms: Just finished Alas Vegas: Still Waiting... (And the Android version of Ascension, which while technically a computer game did get discussed on this thread or the previous one. And for which things are looking fairly dire at the moment, with extremely sporadic communication and very little visible progress [exactly, oddly enough] one year after the end of the KS. Did get the promo card at least.)

Lists!! In terms of TGs, I've backed: FINISHED: Villiages: a Construct and Conquer card game => ended a few weeks ago, expected to ship the first part in April, the second part in June Time Watch => just ended, expected to ship in December now (I think) due to color printing pushing everything back a month Iron Edda => just ended, shipping in June Tiny Epic Kingdoms => just ended, shipping in September ONGOING: Project: Dark Kingdom Builder Big Box => although I'm considering dropping this one, even though I got in on the super early bird price, since it's essentially just a preorder Scarlet Heros RPG => debating if I want to upgrade to the print option President Wars--Battle through the Centuries => essentially a glorified game of war Province Lagoon: Land of Druids => it's going to be GORGEOUS I had kicked a little towards Journey to the Overland, but I pulled my pledge because I just don't see it coming to fruition. Plus, the creator's attitude towards some of the comments kind of irked me.

InShaneee posted:This is looking like it's going to be my first kickstarter failure. It's seven months late (after claiming to be able to do a 3-month turnaround), and his current excuse for not releasing the game is, I poo poo you not, that he is on the run from bandits. I couldn't make this up if I tried. I backed two games from Machine Age (Flatpack and the micro-games collection) and have gotten the PDFs for the first one and the second's effectively cancelled. I think my books got lost in the mail or something, but I got pushed off because apparently shipping me a new book was too much money. I was pretty surprised at the positive response to Apotheosis Drive X when they barely shipped one Kickstarter and basically called the second stillborn. It looked cool, but I wasn't confident enough to give them even more money. Overall I've only had a few Kickstarters fall apart on me. Always/Never/Now is done, I'm just waiting on physical stuff a year and a half later. Machine Age has had actual real life issues, so I can't be too bent about that, but I was one of the folks that gave Mike Nystul money and we all know how that went. David Hill got robbed at a convention, Mike Nystul became a travelling wizard. I feel like there's a difference there. On the other hand, I think I'm finally done dealing with Minion Games, just ended up paying the shipping for a replacement box for Hegemonic after they overpacked a box and shattered the bottom of the one they shipped me first. I could see buying another game from them, I think. I have to say, though, it's really cool seeing guys like the designer of Xia: Legends of a Drift system see his dream come to life. He's really engaged with his backers and didn't bite off more than he could chew with stretch goals. He's gone from a game prototype to being in production in a really short period of time.

Seeing a lot of lists here without 100 Deluxe Dungeons in them... Up over $2000 and still 20 days left, so we added some stretch goals: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/314825490/100-deluxe-dungeons/posts/762364

VoodooXT posted:Technically his excuse was that his house was repeatedly targeted for break-ins, which is totally understandable since it also happens around here, and he's currently in the middle of moving out of a horrible neighborhood. I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt right now.

Made it: Last Stand, Dungeon World, Better Angels, TBZ, Hillfolk, FATE Core, Sorcerer Upgrade, Golden Sky Stories, Inverse World, Kingdom, Thou Art But A Warrior (Indiegogo) I think a couple of these still have Stretch goals outstanding, but they all delivered enough that I can't complain. I still wouldn't back an Indiegogo without a 100% complete product. Not yet: Ryuutama, Chuubo's, Monsterhearts 2nd skins, The Clay That Woke (Still kickstarting).
