[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7007233, member: 6803664"] Hmm, I've bought stuff from WoTC that easily falls into that category.... So you're upset that the company actually did what they were supposed to? Use KS to fund a project & then actually produce it.... ???? Myself? I think KS is a useful enough tool. *A few years ago I backed a board game that ultimately failed. :( *Like you, I've backed some RPG stuff that ended up kinda meh. All was not lost though as I gave it away at a Christmas gift exchange. I consider I received better than I gave.:) *I backed a batch of zombies/zombie hunter minis - I wasn't worried I'd get burnt on this as I've bought from the company direct before. About the worst that would've happened is the project wouldn't fund & the world would be denied a 70's era Elvis armed with a mac10 & a bunch of other Hollywood characters as zombies/z.hunter minis. Or that it'd take the company a lot longer to release them. Fortunately :) *I backed a minis game called "Blood & Plunder" by Firelock. Very cool looking 28mm pirate game.
