So far I have join 26 Kickstarter and 3 indigogo projects. I have received 2 indiegogos out of 3 and 7 from kickstarter + 2 partially filled. 3 of the 7 filled on Kickstarter were from the person he does a great job of hosting and filling his promises. How are you guys and girls doing with yours?

all are on target or within an acceptable margin.

Little Urban Achievers (got everything, happy!)
Dungeon Delves (got everything, happy!)
Zombicide 1 (got everything, happy!)
Sedition Wars (got Wave 1, Satisfied so far)
Zombicide 2 (Wave 1 arrives in 4-5 months)

Sedition Wars is a mixed bag, but I'm holding out final judgement for when I get the 2nd wave of stuff. The printed materials have held up just fine for me, and I haven't devoted much time to the figures in light of the massive amount of Zombicide stuff I am messing around with. I -WAS- disappointed in the plastic chosen, as well as the amount of labor needed to make the figures into something usable, but the sculpts and value for the money are hard to dismiss. Haven't played a game yet, whereas I've played about 60+ Zombicide games.

I'd agree with BigNickR on the sedition Wars stuff – I was so excited when i supported it but it's still in the box. I think i'm looking forward to the second wave more.

Just got the second wave of Zombicide and i was very happy (even happier when i tripled my money selling the limited figures!) so i'm looking forward to season 2. It is an awesome game as well which helps!

I'm waiting on Relic Knights which i believe is now delayed until the end of the year. Delays don't really worry me with Kickstarter, a lot of it is detined for under the bed anyway :)

Via indiegogo I supported Wolsung from MicroArts Studio which had a little delay arriving but was well worth the wait and Infamy Miniatures – again a little delayed but absolutely fantastic.

Still waiting for OGRE. I didn't order the big box, just some of the other goodies. You'd think the small stuff would be ready first and out the door as a first wave.

Backed 4 Indies -- O so far
9 Ks – 3 so far…

Backed 12 in all, and received 5. Hopefully, the largest, Reaper Bones, TAG Tudor & West Wind's Requiem shouldn't be too far from the door?

I may not be cutout to be a crowdfunding guy. I have yet to receive any from:

Redbox games
Reaper bones
Otherworld
Critical mass
Underground lasers
Secret weapon boards

The last three aren't an issue as they just ended recently, but the delay on the others is a bit frustrating. If it takes something so long to get to you that you have lost your enthusiasm does it make it a good deal? I'm not blaming the folks that took my money. They all have legit reasons for missing their projected delivery date. It has just made me more discriminating in what I will back. And sad. :(

Not done one yet!

On the one hand, I have backed a few KS projects, and only one has shipped. I think one is shipping this week. Both smaller projects by Jeff Dee. I backed FATE, and, though nothing has shipped, most of the progress has been made available via PDF. OGRE is way behind.. and I am currently regretting getting involved, but suspect that will go away when I get it. Reaper is a bit annoying in the delay that occurred because of the open house.. But that was a project I shouldn't have gotten into. I have no use for all those figs..

The Form1 project is just a bit behind, but I am ok with that, as I am not really ready.

The Berserkon gaming con project has me annoyed, but not do to delays.. It was the riskiest, to be sure, as the organizers had no track record, and I am afraid it is going to show. But, probably worth the risk..

4 kickstarter – one did not make funding, none of the other three have shipped, though the planned shipping date on one was feb.
Backed the Nickstarter, still waiting for the final shipment.

I am not sure on my overall verdict. The kickstarters offered decent value – but no product so far. Price per figure on the nickstarter was more than I would have paid retail. I was hoping to get my hands on product early, ah well.
