mikem91 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 At this point, I've backed 66 projects. I've 6 that are still in development/production that I'm hoping will still deliver. - JourneyQuest 4 (partial) - Age of Antiquity - Coyote & Crow - Blue Planet: Recontact - Ginny Di's Library of Witticisms - The Art Of ... Volumnes 1-3 I've a couple I'm concerned about: - Carbon 2185 Terminal Overdrive (company cutting back staff) - HD Bases by Secret Weapon Miniatures (company closing hoping to hand off fulfillment) I've a couple that are fraud/failure: - Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures (yes, the red flags were there, but i my desire for those minis overrode my caution. i'm mad at me over this...) - Zeroed - performance jacket. alleged to have completed production and dropped off the map when it came time to deliver. - Official Settlers of Catan Gaming Board (partial delivery) - still sore about this to the point I really can't use the board i did get. more anger at circumstances than the team. i think they did their best. All told, I only got taken for a ride twice. That's not so bad for speculative products. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmaster2000 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Secret weapon miniatures? Isn't that the company ReaperBryan went to? This is sad to hear on so many levels:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is sad to hear on so many levels:( As I recall he resigned from that position shortly after leaving Reaper. I do not know the details and would not share them if I did. Secret Weapon's financial troubles have been outlined on their FB page. It's been a tough year for many small companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexomatic Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I got a book I'd written off. The creator sister was murdered during the publication process and she handed the project off. I think there was enough money and things were far enough advanced that when the hand-off took place it was still viable. Mr Monster adventures of Doc Stearne reprint of 40s Canadian pulp adventure comic. Of course i don't need it now and have no interest in reading it. I think it's one of my earliest from 2015. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/96364695/the-original-adventures-of-doc-stearne-mr-monster 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I'm down to waiting on just one Kickstarter to send me stuff, and while I'd prefer more updates from Red Grass Games (they're sending out one every month or so right now it seems) it is nice to read the pledge manager will be opening soon (and staying open hopefully for a few weeks, because I'd love to toss in a second wet palette so I have one for acrylics and one for oils) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I have a decent amount of stuff in the backlog, and am running out of places to store things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just about everything a gamer could possibly want or need at their table. So once these all get caught up, I’ll only be buying digital supplements for dnd that catch my attention, etc. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think I’ll stop when I think I have enough, but I know I’ll find a new shiny that I “need”. 😊 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Still waiting for a shipping notice for Bones V. No other current Kickstarters at the moment. As things are I will probably only back STL based Kickstarters in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think I’ll stop when I think I have enough, but I know I’ll find a new shiny that I “need”. 😊 I resemble that remark. I sometimes feel like I'm hitting the saturation point for my games. I've got enough things store up to finish off most of my lifelong projects and a 3D printer to help out. I catch myself thinking, "I won't need to buy anything now." But then something else interesting pops up and I think, "Oh, I always wanted one of those!" Not sure if I'll be backing any big KS in the near future though. Need to finish off some of what I have first. In the last month I received my latest KS purchases, Bones V and Battletech Clan Invasion wave 2. Lots of purty minis sorted and packed away for future use. Now I just need to get back to painting things. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also acknowledge that I am lying to myself. I will say that I’ve definitely cut back on my spending because of this though. Like you, I’ve switched to digital mainly. In the past year I’ve only bought RPG PDFs. Ptolus 5E was my last physical book. I was very particular in what I got from the Bones 5 Kickstarter and I’ve skipped several other Kickstarter’s that I would have auto-backed 2 years ago. Just waiting for that to all go out the window when I finally buy a 3D printer! 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
