[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 7006945, member: 518"] Keep in mind all that I have backed have been competely fulfilled, except for one which has had the major print items fulfilled and I am just waiting on a couple of PDFs of some extras. Luckily I have not been burned by projects gone bad. In the ones I am happy with I felt like the majority of the material was useful to me from a playing/actual table use aspect. I got alot of value for my $ Some of the disappointing ones, I got a goodly amount of material and after reading it, had little to no desire to actually use any of it (this problem occured with the two separate 5E adventure KS projects I backed among other projects). OTOH -One project of OSR adventures I absolutely loved all 3 adventures and have used them all in whole or part. All three cases, I was buying "blind" on adventure details and relying on previous adventure products as measure of quality. Its put me off those two companies from buying blind ever again. On the two other positive experiences (which were complete games plus lots of extras) 1) One project was reprints and PDFs of old materials I used to own, and so I knew exactly what I was getting. 2) One was a super duper deluxe reprint of a very old product I was familiar with (but did not own) along with a heap of newly designed play content (through stretch goals and all in print format) It was a massive amount of material, plus some trinkets and dice. It took awhile to fulfill, a bit longer than they stated- but the quality and amount of material for the $ spend was big. The company realized they could no longer offer that much in the future (and interestingly enough- they later produced one of the 5e adventure KSers that soured me on KS'ing any future products I would be going into blind). My disappointments essentially boil down to- took awhile to receive something I didn't end up thinking was very good and wouldn't use. Had I seen the products in a store, and gave them a preview? They would have been re-shelved. [/QUOTE]
