While, as of this writing, the <a href="https://twitter.com/ksr_united/status/1172511951282483200" target="_blank">union is not calling for a boycott</a>, one RPG publisher, <strong>Evil Hat Productions</strong>, is taking a <a href="https://www.evilhat.com/home/a-word-about-kickstarter/" target="_blank">wait-and-see approach</a> as to whether they should use <strong>Kickstarter</strong> for their next crowdfunding. An RPG creator with experience in union initiation, Lucian Kahn, <a href="https://necromancy.itch.io/open-letter-in-support-of-unionizing-kickstarter-workers" target="_blank">offered thoughts on</a> how this may impact the upcoming <strong>Kickstarter</strong> for <strong><em>Visigoths vs Mall Goths</em></strong>. As has been noted elsewhere, these creators, and more, may opt out of using <strong>Kickstarter</strong> for <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/explore/tabletop-games?project_type=campaign&project_timing=all&sort=trending" target="_blank"><strong>IndieGoGo</strong></a> or <a href="https://www.gameontabletop.com/" target="_blank"><strong>GameOnTabletop</strong></a> to crowdfund their works.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Members of [B]Kickstarter’s[/B] staff took steps toward unionizing. Two of those employees have been terminated and the move [URL='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49692983']drew international attention[/URL]. While, as of this writing, the [URL='https://twitter.com/ksr_united/status/1172511951282483200']union is not calling for a boycott[/URL], one RPG publisher, [B]Evil Hat Productions[/B], is taking a [URL='https://www.evilhat.com/home/a-word-about-kickstarter/']wait-and-see approach[/URL] as to whether they should use [B]Kickstarter[/B] for their next crowdfunding. An RPG creator with experience in union initiation, Lucian Kahn, [URL='https://necromancy.itch.io/open-letter-in-support-of-unionizing-kickstarter-workers']offered thoughts on[/URL] how this may impact the upcoming [B]Kickstarter[/B] for [B][I]Visigoths vs Mall Goths[/I][/B]. As has been noted elsewhere, these creators, and more, may opt out of using [B]Kickstarter[/B] for [URL='https://www.indiegogo.com/explore/tabletop-games?project_type=campaign&project_timing=all&sort=trending'][B]IndieGoGo[/B][/URL] or [URL='https://www.gameontabletop.com/'][B]GameOnTabletop[/B][/URL] to crowdfund their works.
