Kickstarter, at its best, is meant to help entrepreneurs by giving them the funding to turn their ideas into reality. I've backed 99 Kickstarters to date. The most satisfying projects have been those where I was helping to support something new and being taken along for the journey of invention and creation. Its more risky than buying a product that is all but done, but such risky projects can lead to things that might not have otherwise been created. With MCDM, it is the best of both worlds. The company has a proven track record, yet it is taking a risk coming out with yet another fantasy TTRPG in a crowded field and possibility a bespoke VTT for that system as well. I'm not worried about MCDM not fulfilling the Kickstarter, but there is a risk that the final product won't be for me.  Yet, even if it ends up not being to my taste as a game system, having a successful system tied to a VTT supports a trend that I would like to see more of. If I just want a product that is done, with no risk of buyers remorse, I'll just wait until it is on the market, and likely has been on the market for some time. Kickstarter has never been about buying a product for me. Its taking a risk to support a creator who is taking an interesting risk. I've had a few disappointments, a few total failures, and a lot of "meh"; but I have also gotten some of my favorite gaming products that may have never otherwise existed.</blockquote>
