[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 9757688, member: 53082"] I backed it too and I'm not going to agree with that "understandably" part - the original quote for delivery was September 2024. If they had been 3 or 4 or even 5 months late there would have been no additional complication. Now it's a full year late and they have yet to start shipping to the U.S. I'm not inclined to cut any slack here. Other notable campaigns: [LIST] [*][B]Reaper's Dungeon Dwellers RPG[/B] - Delivery date July 2024, latest update from a few days ago: They're still working on the book, showing some test prints, and making the miniatures. Well over a year late for a variety of familiar Kickstarter reasons. The one that was new to me was warehouse disruption due to running a con ... which they run every year ... and which has now disrupted progress on it twice. Who could have seen this planned annual event coming? [*][B]GKG's d6 System Second Edition[/B] - Delivery date May 2025 so we're now at the six-month past due mark.
