Does anyone have Kickstarter regrets?

A lot of the best material in those books is rules-agnostic, to be honest. It could be a breeze to use that stuff with your preferred system.
I disagree a bit here - the adventure materials is indeed easy to convert, thats why I will plunder it probably. But the full game needs more work because of the very distinct species and magic systems. At least thats what it looked like to me on a first glance, admittedly I did not do a deep dive yet.
 

I will see those Reaper skeletal dragons and raise you one Sophie's Revenge Heroic Scale Pirate Ship. At the time, one game I was in was a GURPS based historical themed pirate game.
Sold that one as well. Realised once it arrived a) quite how massively out of scale it was with my existing Pirate ships (Blood and Plunder models) and b) that the box was so big it was a struggle to actually store (and absolutely zero chance of hiding or denying its existence and purchase to Mrs crazy_cat!)

It looks so tempting in the KS campaign. One of my recent 'get organized' purchases was a pair of large bookcases for $1 each at a local university surplus sale. At least now, Sophie's Revenge is no longer a trip hazard on the floor. It is now in the same room with the 3D printed(also a KS thing) Traveller Scout Ship. Both are at the same scale. The pirate ship is longer then the Scout but the Scout is wider at the stern.
 

I have far more regrets on the board game end of things than I do RPGs. But then again, that might be due to the fact that if I'm kickstarting a board game it's far more likely that it's just for acquisition, as opposed to RPG's where, more often than not, I'm kickstarting them to support the creator.

I was really expecting there to be a vibrant community and lots of apps available for it. Never materialized and I should have known that in advance. It's been in it's box for 2 years now with no reason to take it out and I doubt there ever will be.
