What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

and everyone needs a bag, right? Right? www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwrot/ga...?ref=category_newest

Someone on Twitter pointed out the numerous red flags here.
"Licensed game loaded w/ minis, no rules or designer credit, 1st time pub"
"It's loaded w/ early bird specials and exclusive minis. Clearly, they want their money up front, not after people see product"

Tomorrow is the launch of the DreadBall 2 Kickstarter.

I'm not sure Mantic needs to be kickstarting products at this point in their life cycle, but I expect this to end up a good deal with at least 4 teams in the base pledge when it's all said and done.

I am interested in Dreadball 2, but I just got the shipment notification for Dungeon Saga (I pledged in the original KS). This massive delay has made me weary of going in on KS with Mantic again.

I just got the rest of my Dungeon Saga pledge earlier this week. The delay was embarrassing, but the product looks nice, at least, and I did get what I pledged for.

I think Dreadball is excellent, and I have a ton of teams for it, but lately it feels to me like Mantic is running kickstarters as a operating cash flow crutch. I don't want to be the one left holding the bag. I might pledge for a upgrade level if they offer, but I'm not sure I'll go for the full $100. That said, the new bases look to be a significant improvement, and I'm glad they increased the hex size on the board.

it's live:

Man that just makes me wish I hadn't missed out on the sale on the previous edition stuff.

Kickstarters I am un-backing: The Martians. I think I got swept up in the hype again for what is really just another resource trading worker placement game.

I'm an early bird backer for DreadBall 2. Surprise surprise.
It's a short one: 2 weeks. I expect a lot of extra stuff added to that $100 pledge before the fat lady sings.

To follow-up...three of the four participants of that day have backed this new DB2 this morning. The 4th, one who hasn't back, is the BB/Mordheim guy...and he plays in my current DB season.

Charlie- when is that Brent Spivey football game going to re-launch?
