Quite a few of which are at least as big a project as Far West.

Has anyone backed this kickstarter from CMON: Micro Art Bases? They're basically molded terrain pieces that snap into a base so you can paint the terrain and then snap it into the base without having to repaint the rim of your base? There's a few different types of terrain (and some more types to be unlocked as stretch goals) and the kickstarter is only running for two weeks. I'm tempted to back it as an $80 pledge (plus whatever shipping ends up being to Australia) would get me nearly 150 bases which would come in handy for when my Raging Heroes minis eventually turn up but I'm not sure if I'm ready to pull the trigger yet.

I'm not sure TBZ should count since it was being planned and worked on for years before the kickstarter. Like I remember seeing it in someone's sig on RPG.net back when Kickstarter was "That thing Greg Stolze is talking up as a new way to release games" Just about every Pinnacle Kickstarter has funded and released since Far West, though they're all supplements/sourcebooks for Savage Worlds: Deadlands Noir, Savage Rome, the PDFs of East Texas University/Pinebox Texas. Hell, most of them got fulfilled -before- the expected release date by a bit, because Pinnacle knows how to set expectations.

Successfully funded and seen release? Uh.. others than other mentioned... Tephra (steampunk, uses d12s, although a bunch of people are still waiting for their book apparently) New Fire (Aztec-based game. Pretty sweet) Malifaux: Through The Breach (based on the miniature game) Mummy: the Curse (nWoD) Old games remade/collected: Hunters Hunted 2 Changing Breeds Traveller FILLED WITH REGRET: Synnabarr (that... freaking... post... campaign... update) supplements: Admiral o' the High Seas (4E/Pathfinder supplement) Still waiting on... 8 more, 1 of which has vanished and hasn't posted an update in forever, a few that are still on schedule, and like 3 that are late.

For anyone who backed Twilight Struggle, do you remember when they'd send out the GMT games coupons? I'm mostly just checking to see I didn't forget or otherwise miss it being sent out. Also I'm curious how many of these games you guys have Kickstarter'ed have actually hit the table.

I mean, you could argue Mutants & Masterminds 10th Anniversary is just a revision of material from years before, but gently caress, that's just an example of having an obvious goal that can be achieved, published, and shipped. Pinpointing when a project was a twinkle in its creator's eye isn't so much as important as just the scope of the Kickstarter itself.

Like I remember seeing it in someone's sig on RPG.net back when Kickstarter was "That thing Greg Stolze is talking up as a new way to release games" To springboard off what ARB said, I'm not sure why it matters because "Throw a Kickstarter party with only a vague idea, then get to work actually making the thing you promised to make" may be the most common way people use Kickstarter but it isn't the only way they have to use it. Working on something prior to Kickstarting the actual publication of it frankly seems like a smarter move to me given how many people go into KSing a project with nothing but a handful of ideas then realize "oh man, actually making something is hard guys."

Well, it's more, back in the day, in its niche, TBZ -was- the long-promised and anticipated game that people started making jokes about not showing up because it was taking forever. It's just no money had changed hands for it at the time.

I backed The Agents and got some add-ons from The Agents Return and I have to say Saar Shai (https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/673576049) is one of the best Kickstarter managers I've seen. He gives updates only when there's something to say and he just got the games in to ship and noticed that the card quality is off so he's getting another run printed. He also is including a $20 artbook for every backer now as an apology. When I backed the first one my game never showed up so he sent me another copy with express shipping too. Not to mention the dude did the first Agents Kickstarter and part of this project while in the middle east and continued to work on the game while he had to stay in a bomb shelter.

Add my game, Base Raiders, to the list of completed RPGs launched after Far West. Speaking of which, be sure to check out my current Kickstarter for a Base Raiders adventure.

It's just no money had changed hands for it at the time. Well that's sort of the important distinction, right there. People joked about TBZ but the spirit of the jokes was a lot different because it's not like anyone was out any money for it. I imagine if Andy K had essentially solicited five or six figures in preorders back when he was first getting started that people wouldn't have been quite as unruffled about the huge gap of time between initial concept and final delivery.

Just from my list of stuff since 2011 that I haven't seen Edit: posted in someone elses list: Posthuman Pathways, Grim World, Motobushido, Fate of the Norns, and Our Last Best Hope. I'd argue with Always/Never/Now being done. I still haven't gotten my physical copy. I don't think anyone has. Edit: Clarified things.

It's just no money had changed hands for it at the time. Well, the harsh thing to point out about Tenra is that we haven't heard about much of the promised add-on content for a full year. Ruined Empire, Mythos Hunter Zero, Tenra: WAR have rough drafts but were never finished AFAIK, and Demimonde has never materialized at all as far as I'm aware. We haven't really seen anything on them in nearly a year now. Similarly, the Extra Characters, Introductory Scenario, Reference Sheet, Extra Scenarios, Illustrated Replay - it would be awesome if I was wrong, but I'm pretty sure none of that emerged.

Our Last Best Hope is on sale on Drive Thru RPG, has been in a Bundle of Holding and has an expansion, so I would hope you've at least gotten a PDF. Same with Motobushido, minus the expansion. I never go for physical books so I don't have any idea if any of those have shipped. (Especially since the only one of those I actually Kickstarted was Grim World.)

Kickstarter Goals: *We want the game to be more good, and less bad. *You will roll dice at times, and at other times, you won't roll dice. *Players will level up by gaining experience, and then when they do that they will gain new abilities and skills. *We're not actually going to give a poo poo about Martial Characters but more people will give us money if we say we will.

Even two of those points seem questionable when combined: * Create a longer play experience in the leveling "sweet spot" (the D&D/PFRPG equivalent of level 6 to level 12). * Allow characters to level more frequently so they don't remain exactly the same for many game sessions. Good luck balancing either one of those, much less both in conjunction.

In my "deep regrets" bin, I've got Horror on the Orient Express (13 months late, no ETA) and Apotheosis Drive X (14 months late, no ETA). The former I'm sure will come out eventually, but it's been mishandled in just about every way possible. The latter I'm pretty sure is a lost cause.
