Knowing that Kickstarter is a way to crowdfund unrealized projects and not a place to buy finished products, I have backed precisely 5 kickstarters.The best was Other Magic a 5e expansion to include magic based on civilizations from Antiquity (Mesopotamia, Babylon, Egypt, etc.). It was $5, which to me, was the sweet spot. That's Coffee Money. If I got something, fantastic. If I didn't, whatever. I got it and it was quick. The worst was ages ago for a lockable trunk/boot for a bike. It took years because the company screwed up the prototypes, didn't have everything lined up with their manufacturing, and had several other logistical screw-ups. The other two were OSE:Advanced, which was fine because I knew that they knew what they were doing and Survivalist's Guide to Spelunking for 5th Edition, which I was comfortable with because the author is an old hand who I felt probably knew his way around the TTRPG publishing industry.  Basically, these were both projects that needed funding to get over the finish line, not to get going. And the latter had its books shipped and delivered less than six months after launch. I did, on a lark, back Gods of Metal: Ragnarock because it sounded cool. Estimated delivery date: October 2021. Last update: March 8, 2022, saying they hope to get it to the printer by end of June. This, I think, is more of the rule and not the exception.</blockquote>
