Tell your overdue Kickstarter story

Perils of Mars. Waiting 9 years on this. But the creator seems to have abandoned Kickstarter.

Two really stick out for me:

1. Myth & Magic Game Master's Guide and Collector's Complete was to be released in March 2013. Still chaps my hide New Haven Games (Tom Ryan) basically cut and run, yet still sells his stuff on DTRPG without ever having fulfilled the KS.
2. Le Morte d'Arthur & The Arthurian Concordance: due in December 2017 but delayed by Stewart Wieck's untimely passing. Fortunately, the Chaosium team stepped in and are finally fulfilling this.

As others have said, I have since mostly restricted my backing to known companies/individuals. Every once in a while, thoughh, I will take a chance...

I may be more tolerant of some problems that delay products, even for a very long time than others (and I understand why some others are less tolerant here); specifically medical and related problems can just be a thing, especially with one-man-band operations, and as long as I have the sense that the creator is trying to stay in contact and move forward as he can, I'll accept a lot of delay. As a specific example, the author of This Defiant Earth (an RPG to emulate 50's SF movies, a particular love of mine) had a number of medical and (related) occupational problems that delayed the product a lot, but he kept in contact with us the whole time, and it did come out, albeit really late; I didn't fault this though I'd have liked it earlier.

Oh hey! That looks relevant to my interests! Thanks.

It really is a loveletter to the genre.
