[QUOTE="fuindordm, post: 7007348, member: 5435"] I'm very glad this funding model exists. And it's not much different from the funding model for business start-ups, just on a smaller scale. Re. the pathfinder video game KS, I funded that one but only at the level to get the Emerald Spire PDF (which was delivered, and is a pretty good adventure). I wanted to support the venture, but didn't particularly care whether or not the video game was a success since I knew I wouldn't have time to play it anyway. Otherwise I've funded the ADOM resurrection campaign (very happy with the outcome), Phoenix (I love Keith Baker's work, and the game is beautiful and fun to read... whether or not I manage to play it), WOIN (again, very happy with N.E.W. and looking forward to OLD), and a couple of others. The $1 RPG hasn't delivered yet, but I believe Jim Pinto will be able to finish it. The only KS that didn't deliver anything was the Goblins card game. Oh well, I didn't put that much into it. So I guess my strategy is this: I'm happy to risk up to $20 on an unproven creator if I like their related work and/or the project looks really interesting. I'll pay full product price ($70-$100) for the work of proven creators and products like Phoenix, 7th Sea, and ADOM. And with this strategy, so far I don't feel like I've gotten burned. Ben [/QUOTE]
