[QUOTE="R_J_K75, post: 8368660, member: 6921294"] Ive backed maybe 6-8 kickstarters. Personally Im not a big fan of them in general but I understand why things in the RPG industry are trending this way. I have never backed any KS besides a roleplaying book. Im pretty choosey when it comes to backing books and stick to companies Im familiar with as quality is always a concern for me. Its hard to justify paying $75-$150 for a book I'll most likely see no less than a year later. But I can say Im satisfied with the ones I have backed so far. 1. I dont like stretch goals, Ive never seen one that I was actually excited for and they just seem to drag out the ship date. 2. Never bought an add on either. I generally buy a hard or soft cover copy of a book and maybe the pdf depending on the price. If its another $25-$30 for the pdf thats an easy pass for me. 3. I dont like the constant email updates either because the important stuff like paying for shipping and verifying your address, etc gets lost in all the other unimportant ones. Ive almost missed deadlines because I just got into the habit of disregarding them. 4. Im in the same camp. I dont need any of these extra things. I dont use props much if ever and if it comes with a KS I want and is rolled into the cost, Im out. This is the main reason I dont even consider buying the Beadle & Grimm deluxe editions because they include too much stuff I have no use for. [/QUOTE]
