The below list is of RPG Related Kickstarters that were estimated to ship (I am using the ship date for the physical item, not the PDF if there is one) September 2012 or earlier. I was going to add Indiegogo projects to the list, but they are so few (and this list got so long) I'll summarize as follows: LotFP stuff that I supported was late but has shipped. Barrowmaze II is due next month and is apparently close to shipping on time. Go figure ;)
Colors for Actual Ship Date are as follows:
Red: Hasn't shipped and is (or will be based on new estimates) significantly overdue. This includes projects that have been shipping in dribs and drabs for months. If all backers dont have what they pledged for, it's in red.
Orange: Late but shipped, or recently missed a shipping date and hasn't shipped
Green: Shipped on time. Holy Shit!

Compliments From Your Friendly Neighborhood Typeface

Typeface is such a ridiculous character and I love him. Despite how silly
he is, he's been used in some cool ways. A version of him even appeared in
Spider...

I am in a similar boat.
ReplyDeleteRight now the company with the best track record on Kickstarter is Eden Studios.
The Myth and Magic Players guide is available for download on RPG now for @ $10. Did the backers not yet get their copies?
ReplyDeleteThat's alot of red letters. Not encouraging.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever backed one project and I doubt I'll do any more in the future. I expect the news of late about Kickstarter will have people reconsidering the wisdom in putting their money down to back new projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting on OGRE and Reaper's Bones. I believe OGRE has already announced delays.
Starships & Spacemen 2nd edition seems right on track, although I don't think they had an estimate to begin with
ReplyDelete@Jeff - PDF is out, printed books have not shipped yet
ReplyDeleteI got my wife's Artisan Dice in August. If the guy hadn't spent a fair amount of time keeping us updated, I would have been frustrated, but not Powerchords frustrated.
ReplyDeleteHurm. Now I'm fretting about the status of the assorted projects I've backed.
ReplyDeleteGoing to go compile a list myself....
