Your Kickstarter campaign is doomed

[Jd Smith1]

Proper?

He claimed he was creating a product. He took the money and disappeared

What you mean, is that he convinced people to legally give him money for nothing. Do that enough, and he could be a candidate for high office.

I've had very few I've backed fail. I've backed 63, and maybe 1 or 2 have not funded?

I think I've only had 3 out of 120 not fund (and one of them was non-rpg related, where they emailed me and offered the reward anyway if I sent them the money, which I did).

It's the ones that fund and then don't deliver that are depressing. I went through a very bad phase where of the first 15 kickstarters I backed, three of the creators delivered next to nothing (although one of them was saved by a third party stepping in).

Since then I've had another five fail to deliver, for various reasons.

Also three more where some stretch goals have been outstanding for a very long time (but which I'm not worried about, since I've already had my money's worth).
