[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 7981719, member: 725"] Frosthaven just beat Kindom of Death: Monster's record with almost raising $13 million for a boardgame... But as I noted a month and a half back in the "Onyx Path cancels LegendLore Kickstarter", it just totally depends who you are, what your peddling and who your peddling it to... Frosthaven can be played solo, it's also been mentioned for a long time so folks who wanted it, saved up for it for a long time. Other KS projects completely depend on if people currently have the money for it, are willing to spend it on the project and it's currently useful for them. For many people RPGs aren't going to happen for months because for them it's an in-person experience and not one enjoyed online. Others are already playing online or are willing to try playing online. Some gaming projects are under-performing significantly compared to earlier, similar projects. Compared to Rising Sun, CMoN's Ankh under-performed by about a million dollars. Personally I've only backed three projects this year (two CMoN board games and one 3D model project). Not only due to finances, but also due to just not having enough room to fit everything my mind finds interesting into my hobby room anymore (years of KS projects are arriving to fill it up). Also, some KS project creators are making changes to the pricing of their projects, either prices are going up significantly or we're getting less for the same price ($25 vs €50 for a core pdf). I'm also spending less on my other gaming (miniatures, boardgames, card games, etc.), I shifted form buying stuff to actually use stuff... [/QUOTE]
