I love Kickstarter. My agreement with my wife is not to go over $25 a month (and I never can keep to that, but I try not to go too much over), but I tend to spread that over many projects, even if I pledge just $1 as token support.

I currently pledge to:

Sui Generis (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1473965863/sui-generis) - an top-down action RPG with one of the most impressive engines I've ever seen
Delaware St. John: "Asylum of The Lost" Adventure Game (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1065983707/delaware-st-john-asylum-of-the-lost-adventure-game)
Magicians: A Language Learning RPG (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1858774754/magicians-a-language-learning-rpg) - I like to support educational stuff
Arcana Agency: The Thief of Memories, a Full-Color Gamebook (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1615043334/arcana-agency-the-thief-of-memories-a-full-color-g)
Shadowgate (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zojoi/shadowgate) - a remake of the old adventure game
Beasts & Blades - an epic 3D Turn based RPG adventure game! (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seattletek/beasts-and-blades-an-epic-3d-turn-based-rpg-advent) - pretty crap so far, but they seem enthusiastic and making some strides in improving it. Probably won't make it anyway.
Ring Runner - Flight of the Sages (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1829438086/ring-runner-flight-of-the-sages) - Pretty cool action/RPG space game, but I'm not sure why I pledged to it.
Maelorum, an epic Gamebook. (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/314653974/maelorum-an-epic-gamebook) - yes, I like gamebooks. Both a game and a book, what could be better? :)
Divine Space, Unique Sci-Fi Action-RPG (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dodogames/divine-space-sci-fi-space-arpg) - I like this one, but it might not make it.

I haven't actually pledged to anything till now, but i might do so. It's a good cause. I remember seeing a joke about this awhile back. You might be familiar with it.

This joke is a lot better IMO if you see the "Kickstarter" page (http://www.kickstarter.com.funnyordie.com/projects/83719047/sex-tape) for it.

OMG, I didn't know it existed. Is that for reals or was that page set up for jokes only, cause that person made a lot of money otherwise. :O

Look at the URL. It's just a well made joke. But it's really well made.

Bjorn, yes, $25 isn't a lot, but it's enough to show some support and it keeps me from going overboard. I pledged $30 or $25 to a couple of projects, but mostly I go under that. I almost pledged $35 to Project Eternity, which would have been a new record, but what they posted in the updates seemed to indicate the game was meant for more hardcore RPG players, so I stayed at $20. (I did spend slightly more than $30 on one project, The Dinocalypse Trilogy, because I bought the RPG books after seeing it, and ended up pledging $25.)

Still, I'm currently at 56 supported projects, but 10 of them failed and for 18 of the rest I pledged only a token $1. But what I lack in money I make up for in enthusiasm. :)

I'm not a Kickstarter participator, but I guess the company I work for supports some companies who participate in Kickstarter.
