[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8628934, member: 52734"] Kickstarter requires patience, and a desire to support the creation of something in the first place. For most people, I would actually advise making a note of the (supposed) release date and then just start watching for it to show up in retail/e-bay and buy it there, unless you have a STRONG reason to order it up front (and being willing to wait the year+ for it to show). With the exception of a few KS's, it doesn't keep your money tied up, often ends up being cheaper due to store discount and you can forget about it until it's actually out. I don't think a lot of folks realize that the stuff they see in stores took 12-18 months to develop on the back side; they just see the end result and conclude it was instantaneous from design to store shelf. I got [b][i]Badly[/i][/b] burned by the Robotech KS, to the point of deleting my account. It was two years before I came back. I'm pretty judicious about my use of KS these days, and am far more likely to just pick things up retail. A KS [i]really[/i] has to grab my attention - or like Enworld's - have a super short delivery schedule (that I actually believe) to put the money down. Currently, I'm waiting for: Can We Keep It (delivering today?) Borocubos Monsters (advance copies going out now) Monsterpocolypse (can't resist a good Kaiju game, Nov expected date) Rampart 3 (starting delivery now) Zombicide Undead or Alive (this is the first time with them they haven't delivered early, but they've always delivered, March expected date) [/QUOTE]
