Your fancy words are not going to bring me MY MONEY BACK!!! I paid $2000 to meet this guy at a sausage restaurant in Warsaw and pick up my personal pre-release copy of the game. This was EXCLUDING TRAVEL EXPENSES which I also already paid for.TheDukester wrote: Agreeing to give strangers money for any unfinished product requires, by definition, a certain willingness to abandon caution.

You know those "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires" PSAs? And those "This Is Your Brain On Drugs?" PSAs?
They remind you about things you already know. This is what my post was about.

Well, how good was the sausage?

Some pimped out pieces and extravagent miniatures have come out thanks to Kickstarter, sure, but I'm pretty sure games like Alien Frontiers, Zombicide, and Police Precinct would have found publishers sooner or later anyways.
Tammany Hall.
It would still exist, but not in any easily attainable quantity. I think the second print run was only 500? The designer himself admitted it would have never been republished had it not been for the kickstarter, which also had some issues itself near the end with meeting deadline and getting out to all of its backers.
I think Agents of SMERSH would also be a game that would have had trouble finding a publisher, and I'm pretty happy with my copy of that game.

That right there would be a dealbreaker for me, but there was nothing of the sort posted on the Kickstarter page.

To paraphrase one Mr. Candy, Doom/Atlantic City you had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.
Since this will be sold in stores, I'll be truly interested if this game was really worth all this. It seems like a big deal of another company to take over its production and give away free copies so they much think its a good thing.
But how clever can a Monopoly-clone be especially one that has a Cthulhu theme (and I love the Mythos setting in general)?
