Most of them have actually delivered.Regarding personal "rules" for backing, things have shifted over time:In the early days, I mostly backed things that I personally wanted and/or that were at least somewhat interested and seemed like a massive bargain. For a longer while then I have backed a lot of things under the delusion that I would play them some day. These were also the days when shipping from outside the EU was not horrible, so I pledged for a physical product a lot of the time.These days, it roughly comes down to four rules of thumb:1) Is it an extension to a game I already own and actively play? Then I will pledge for a physical product if shipping is EU-friendly; if it is not, I'll go for digital and buy the books later.2) Is it an indie thing that I find compelling (visually, rules-wise, conceptually) and that I want to see happen? Then I will typically pledge immediately if the price for a digital reward 10$/€ or less (irrespective of likeliness of use in play)3) If it's like (2), but the price is higher, I decide on a case by case basis.4) If it's a new Free League Year Zero game, I will probably pledge for physical items.</blockquote>
