Kickstarters

Here is a list of the RPG Related Kickstarters that I backed and their status. I will also post a link to my review of the item(s) once I post it.

The December 2017 update article is here.

My December 2016 Backed Kickstarter update article is here.

Now that I have a page to track my Kickstarters, I can update them here with a link back to my review.

The two big flops I have backed:

My latest blog article on the CSIO Kickstarter here. May 14, 2018 Bob 2 took over the project from Bob 3. There’s an article on it at Tenkar’s Tavern.  In early 2020, Bob 2 outed himself as a massive racist and burnt bridges with those trying to help salvage the Kickstarter. Bob 3 also seems to be a bona fide white supremacist based on public postings on FB.

My latest blog article on The Great Kingdom here.
