Kickstarter is great. It allows niche products to find their audience and be produced in a way that was never really possible before. But I worry a little that such a crowdfundig model is the future of RPGs, and I'm not really happy with that.
Have any Kickstarter products made it to a mass audience, at least in terms of product availability? By amss audience, I mean people who didn't get in on the Kickstarter, and by availability, I mean physical books. I first heard of Primeval Thule by seeing the Pathfinder version of the book in my FLGS. Now it is gone, and if you want the PF version good luck. Your odds are even worse with the 4e and 13th Age versions.
Has anyone heard of a Kickstarter project that was actually successful beyond its first-run backing? How high do sales need to be to justify a second printing of a book? Anyone?
Edit: typos galore. It's a pain posting from a smartphone.
