So those three out of about 50 projects, so I'm doing okay. Man, this dude was way less stupid and insane about this when I talked to him and gave him my criticisms. Guess he's just a dick.

Let's see... I have the standard crop of bad or long-delayed video games (Star Citizen, Net Gain, Pathologic) but in the TTRPG sphere the only things that were busts were the Deck of Legends, Last Stand: Reinforcements, Dark Age Outpost, Stone Skull 28mm Tabletop Gaming Furniture, and Retrocausality. Not too bad a success rate?

I guess I've been lucky - I've only had SLA Industries: Cannibal Sector 1 fail for RPGs/tabletop. The majority of failed KS are all video games, including my second KS ever. Estimated delivery: Jan 2015.Mors Rattus posted:Man, this dude was way less stupid and insane about this when I talked to him and gave him my criticisms.

I think Deck of Legends is the only complete failure I've backed. Low Life Miniatures is still in the eternal doldrums, but I think I got everything I backed for, at least.

Estimated delivery: Jan 2015 The first and last video game KS I ever backed was Godus. Estimated delivery September 2013; supposedly there is a lovely mobile app of it floating around but I haven't seen that either. The oldest unfulfilled KS I have is 13th Age Glorantha (Est. deliv. July 2015), which does at least appear to be on the verge of delivery by the end of August (it's "in the warehouse"). From there it's Shinobigami, which is under a year past its estimated delivery date but still apparently lurching towards fulfillment. I don't think I've got anything that I would chalk up presently as an outright failure. My first goon kickstarter was Nightfall, which ultimately got completed against all odds, so I have escaped that particular trap with no comeuppance.

My entire Kickstarter-backing history is TTRPG stuff, none of which has failed or imploded or even really made me sad, though some are behind, and then my only outright disappointment: Mighty No 9.

Speaking of late, today's update from a terrain Ks that was finished production of all but the final sprue when (allegedly) the factory decided to hold the final mould ransom for more moneyquote:Update #83 from Dark Age Outpost: 28mm Terrain & Miniature Set

glitchkrieg posted:Probably for the best - there's been some drama about it, posted earlier in this thread. Yeah, I found some talk at Beast of War. To quote from there: "Looks like a very iffy project from the very start. Same folks involved with company A then license IP to company B and run a KS. Raise £50k. Money gone, and yet they jump ship back to company A and claim they own all the stuff produced with the KS money that was raised by company B. Now company C comes along, takes a load of inventory, and buys a big stake in company A." That's sketchy as anything.

The only RPG stuff I've backed that hasn't delivered so far are Cortex Prime, Retrocausality, Gattaibushido, Shinobigami and Pirate World. Out of those, Pirate World is the only one that's dead with the creator gone missing, although Retrocausality is coming close ( ).

I'm still waiting on Cortex Prime too, but I know the creator's still plugging away at it. At the time I regretted not backing Shinobigami, but at least I haven't missed anything yet.

I wanted to boast my stellar record in selecting tabletop games to back. Then I remembered I backed Broken World by a goon. Welp. Someday, perhaps.

I didn't back Far West, but Wallis and Skarka agreed to give each other's backers a copy of their game as a bonus for waiting... (Also Up Front and still waiting on Cortex Prime).

Or Meikyuu Kingdom / Meikyuu Days (I think I remember Ewen's "Yaruki Zero" planning to take it officially, but seemingly not much resulted out of it). Or Colossal Hunter (Shadow of the Colossus/Monster Hunter: The TRPG, with multi-tiered combat maps). Or DracuRouge (Castlevania: The TRPG/Japanese World of Darkness).

You don't want Meikyuu Kingdom. Turns out there's not actually any play to it, just random generation of funny-ish objects and scenarios.

It essentially means your Kickstarter is all the money you're ever going to make. There was a Conan kickstarter a while back and they packed it with a bunch of KS exclusives and then released it to retail and nobody bought it because everyone knew it was an incomplete game. They admitted they lost all their profit on a retail release and won't be doing that again. Essentially, significant KS exclusives means that your audience becomes KS or nothing.

If I were ever to run a KS I'd be very unlikely to have any for that reason, but... yeah, what's the thought process here, since it's a common topic here on the forums? Altruism for future customers? Three major reasons 1) Just because something isn't unfair to you doesn't mean you can't object to it on the grounds of being unfair to other people 2) A game with kickstarter exclusives tends to be very frontloaded and is unlikely to get much support in the future 3) If half the content in a game is locked behind exclusives, that makes it very difficult to draw in new players. That means that the community for a game is almost entirely going to be people from the kickstarter, a group which shrinks over time. Even for games you only play with friends, having a large community is good because it keeps up interest and makes continued support for the game more likely.
