Goodman Games are doing more Fifth Edition Fantasy: Fifth Edition Fantasy Adventure Modules by Goodman Games — Kickstarter

I haven't checked out either of the original two modules. What do people here think of them?

The always reliable Squarehex has launched a very short a geomorphic beer mats kickstarter campaign!

I've emailed and heard back a couple of times, sent him a little extra to post out and told him to send out in one big lot. Quite frankly I don't want to keep hassling the guy.

I'm happy to wait as long as it takes, I'd just like to know that it will eventually happen.  A lot of his posts are vague or full of promises that don't seem to materialise, but I guess he has a lot of people on his back and I don't want to add to that.

Any reassurances of anyone in the know here would be good.  ....or will I be waiting forever, either way, be nice to know.

thanks,
Jon

I just saw an Appendix N item on ebay so something must have been released.

Reaper is going to do a third Bones miniatures Kickstarter!  It kicks off the day after NTX, June 8th.

Reaper Miniatures :: Bones3

One of the minis is a Tianot (like Tiamat only not).  

Mark Taormino is Kickstarting his third Maximum Mayhem adventure module:

Villains of the Undercity

Then you win.  You have as much or as more of the KS items as anyone else, and you didn't have to wait three years.

If its any consolation to those that did put money into the Kickstarter, I actually paid more than what NK is asking for the set. I thought I'd bought them from the publisher but I checked and I actually got them from an individual.

I backed this one. I really love the color one he did before.

The information I found interesting in all of this is that he specifically stated this is probably his last Kickstarter.  It's hard not to speculate on why he stated that.

D20 Entertainment deleted its Kickstarter account

As a quick note in reading the comments on this, the deleted account seems likely to have been caused by Jolly Blackburn's wife deleting her account since they seemed tied together (and happened about the same time).

I read some of the comments and find a lot of people are very critical.  Things like,

* "So, I ordered the 5000 pencil package, with the intention of handing them out at a convention that is coming up at the end of May."

What this May?  That is a crazy expectation - I'm sure the stat is something like 90%+ of Kickstarter projects are late (and probably the average lateness is much greater than 2 months).

* "they were supposed to be all shipped by the 31st"
* "But the postmark was the 14th." (two weeks later)

Complaining that they got the book but it was really mailed 2 weeks after he said they were shipped.  Sure bad show but almost every project on Kickstarter is late.  There are very few companies that you can trust - for me, I would consider backing a Reaper project or a Frog God/Necromancer Games project again but very few others.  I was just reading this article:

How Many Kickstarter Games Have Failed to Deliver? - GameSpot

There's a great stat: out of 186 game-related projects with over $75K in backing, 63 have made it to market (at time of the article).  So about 1/3 actually get it done - nice.

So far from what I have seen, D20 is doing better than other companies who I trusted more such Chaoisum.
Chaosium:  Feb 18, 2015: "Hi Mark, I have checked and your package should be at the post office, awaiting shipment."
Mark: March 30, 2015: "It has now been over 5 weeks since my package was "at the post office" and nothing has arrived."
Chaosium: April 1, 2015: "I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer for you. We are working with the post office to get the shipments out ASAP. I'll update you as soon as we have more info, and apologize for the frustration."

Where are we now, May 9, no update no package.
