For me, reasons for backing include :-To help a project get made that wouldn't otherwise happenTo help fund a stretch goal that you really like (I supported the Blue Rose kickstarter partly because I was intrigued by the idea of a Fate version; that stretch goal was not achieved and there will probably never be a Fate version of Blue Rose)To support an author that you want to encourage to keep writing things, or to even to keep writing things for your favourite system and not another systemAs an investment - if a project has a lot of funding, you can get a ton of stretch goals at a bargain basement priceBecause you are interested in the development process and want to follow along (many kickstarters have a $1 level that allows you to be part of the project even though there is no end product at that level), or even take part in some way such as by choosing elements that will be includedBecause you are the author's mother (not likely ever to apply in my case, but see the link in the opening post)</blockquote>
