@onlyonepinman what was it about devils’ run that you didn’t like ?
The component quality or the rules ? Must admit that I wasn’t exactly “blown away” when my copy arrived.

I’d say “Agents of Mayhem” was kind of my ‘worst’ kickstarter, because the miniatures weren’t exactly of the quality I had become used to (thanks to CMON … ) and I wasn’t quite sure if the game itself would still be fun.

Corespace is a weird one. The minis really screamed ‘low end boardgame’, but the setting and gameplay still make me want to play it one day.

With ‘HATE’ it was more the reality that the game needed an opponent to play … but the art and the idea still make me want to open it up one day and play it.

My initial excuse for not playing ‘the walking dead’ was not having (enough) terrain … so the enthusiasm fizzled and I backed a few terrain focused kickstarters to ‘solve’ that problem. And then I forgot why I was until this thread made me re-think my reasons for backing.

I do have to say that I tend to back kickstarters not because I ‘need’ the game, but because I want to see something make it to retail and it beat letting my money rot on a savings account with zero interest (and a government taxing me for daring to have money). Receiving the final product was  a kind of a ‘nice to have’ bonus.

I’ve backed several of the Zombicide kickstarters because I thought the minis would be useful as generic monsters in a rpg.

The Conan RPG was a mix between highs (it is Conan … ) and lows (some of the sourcebooks felt like a waste of material despite the art).

The Instant Colours kickstarter has been another kickstarter that made me spend more in order to use it.
Part of the reason were the rather dissappointing reviews and my own experience with trying to use a brush for their primer, which they had shown as an option. It kind of ‘forced’ me to buy an airbrush, although truth be told I would have bought one anyway … I know this has the danger of the ‘sunk cost fallacy’ as I may be spending money in order to prove it as a good investment, but then … knowing is half the battle. 😀
