    Default Any Kickstarter Addicts here?

    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
    - 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
    Magicians: A Language Learning RPG - I like to support educational stuff
    Arcana Agency: The Thief of Memories, a Full-Color Gamebook
    Shadowgate - a remake of the old adventure game
    Beasts & Blades - an epic 3D Turn based RPG adventure game! - 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 - Pretty cool action/RPG space game, but I'm not sure why I pledged to it.
    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 - I like this one, but it might not make it.

    This joke is a lot better IMO if you see the "Kickstarter" page 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.
