ReplyDeleteThe KoDT:LAS folks noticed this........the topic came up frequently at Origins.
ReplyDelete$14K a year is well below the poverty line. Only sounds like the appropriate emphasis.
ReplyDeleteThe going opinion was that a) Ken figured it was free money and he didn't actually have to produce and b) the majority, if not all, of the 1st Kickstarter's money was spent within the 1st month, and not on the KoDT: LAS
ReplyDelete"Monthly expenses" is very vague. If he means he's expensing $1200 a month that may or may not be reasonable....I probably expense that month every month at work but I travel a lot and purchase supplies for an office of 12, so I am downright frugal at times. If he claims he's only paying himself a salary of $1200 that sounds unlikely....most places these days that barely makes rent. So I don't really know what he's spending that money on.
ReplyDeleteAssuming it's even true.
DeleteOh oh, I backed the Cthulhu Dice Tower! It's supposed to ship out in July, so we'll see if this kickstarter is on time.
