Games Crowdfunding: Adventure Creater Metal Gaming Coins more

Games Crowdfunding (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc.) is currently the driving force in the hobby market.

Sometimes this boom reminds me of the equity bubble. The gold rush mentality combined with the remarkable intransparent and ‚error-pone‘ project fullfilments might be reasons for a burst of the crowdfunding bubble.

Personally, among others things I had bad experiences with the Kickstarter for Conspiracy X The Conspiracies Sourcebook (by George Vasilakos/Eden Studios) and the Indiegogo campaign for 1650 (by Tercio Creativo). They did not deliver and their repeated poor communication is at least misleading.
Accordingly, I feel wilfully cheated and can – not – recommend these project initiators. If you want to support e. g. Dies Irae (1650 expansion by Tercio Creativo) be careful!

The Covetous Poet’s Adventure Creator and Solo GM Guidebook by Frank Lee
