[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7540164, member: 6796661"] I'm registered to play it at Con of the North in February. Anyway, the Expanse is no where near as delayed as many of the Kickstarters I've backed. It is normal for even well organized Kickstarters to be off by several months. Only well-established publishers who already have networks and processes set up, and many publications under their belt, regularly meet their deadlines. Frog God Games and Kobold Press both come to mind as exceptionally reliable. But they are using Kickstarter more as a pre-order system. They are not new creators trying to start something new. One would think Green Ronin should be in the same group, but most of the Kickstarters were over 6 months late and a couple have been over a year late. Even established companies run into delays. I would rather a company be focused on quality than slavishly adhere to an estimated delivery date. Mutants & Masterminds 10 Year Anniversary Edition was about 11 months late. Freeport: The City of Adventure for the Pathfinder RPG was about 14 months late. Advanced Bestiary for the Pathfinder RPG was about 4 months late. Love 2 Hate: A Party Game for Inappropriate People was about 9 months late. Book of the Righteous for Fifth Edition was about 4 months late. Sentinels of Earth-Prime looks like it will be 14-16 months late. That said, they eventually delivered on all their Kickstarters and enough people seem to be happy with their products that they continue to fund new Kickstarters. So, no, not vaporware. [/QUOTE]
