[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8958140, member: 11760"] A lot more stuff delivers on time than is generally believed. It's just that some folks are REALLY bad about it and some backers pick a lot of folks who end up not delivering on time. If you're one of the majority of people who get things on time, there's no real reason to go around making threads about it, you know? EDIT: Of my most recent 10 backed campaigns, which were all RPG products, and ranged from a lone person publishing their first product, to big RPG companies releasing new books: [LIST=1] [*]one isn't due to be completed until this summer, which it appears they will succeed at, [*]six delivered their products, both digital and physical, on time or even a few weeks early, [*]two delivered their digital products on time but are slipping one to two months on physical rewards (back and forth over printer proofs is the big culprit here), [*]and one isn't due to deliver their product until October, but since they delivered their last one two weeks early, I'm not sweating it. [/LIST] That said, I drop out of campaigns if I get a whiff that they're too ambitious. I was going to back a very appealing OSR campaign this fall, for instance, until the pile of multiple versions of games, sequels to games, boxed sets, miniatures, music, etc., etc., got to be too many red flags for my taste. They haven't posted a single update since their campaign closed in September. 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
