Yup, I managed to not back this or Leviathans.  I have the shakes now.

I took the plunge on this one.

As cool as Leviathans looks, I'm not convinced that Catalyst isn't going to gack up the meta-plot and expansions for it, so I took a pass on it.

I never played the original Leviathans so I don't really care about backstory or plot.  It looks very cool but I've already got Star Wars: Armada, Sails of Glory, Battletech,  and Cruel Seas if I wanna play with ships blasting one another.  None of them get as much table-time as it is so adding another game to the pile seems like a bad idea.  (hasn't stopped me from hitting the pledge button and nearly completing my order half a dozen times though)

There is always a cost to be paid; it's just not always monetary in nature.  :whistle:

I apologize if this has already been mentioned somewhere but there ae only a few days left to back Compass Games' American Tank Ace, a solitaire game along the lines of Patton's Best and Tiger/Sherman Leader.

I backed American Tank Ace, though it was last minute. Another awesome Gregory Smith design1  :bigthumb:

I suppose I should confess my backing sins. Hi everyone. I'm BC, and I'm now addicted to backing projects.

On Kickstarter, I have:

Cruel Necessity Deluxe Edition - I have the original from VPG but was just too intrigued by the improved components.
911 Operator Board Game - having been a paramedic, this kind of thing always interests me.
Patriot - looks like a great game with a solo mode. I'm going to be providing the publisher/designer with proofing and editing assistance.
Age of Comics: The Golden Years - looks fantastic and I'm hooked.
La Granja Master Deluxe Set - I won this in a giveaway, so this at least is a freebie. But, it looks fun.

On Gamefound, I have:
Escape from New York - I mean, Snake. Come on.
In Dreams
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - I backed the all in version, but the developer/publisher decided to cancel the project as they didn't get nearly the money amount they thought they would.
Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin - their Knight of Avalon pledge, which is all in but sans sundrop minis.
Trick Shot - a hockey game with prepainted minis. Gameplay looks a lot of fun.
Eleven: Football Manager Board Game - originally this was my second backed game, from last year. I helped proof the rules so I'm in the credits, and they even did a player card to use my ugly mug likeness.
Bot Factory - sounds like a lot of fun, plus peer pressure, man.
Escape from Stalingrad Z
Purple Haze
The Dark Quarter
The Elder Scrolls V: The Skyrim Adventure Game

Now, that's a lot, I know. What else is new - the more things change, the more they stay the same. Still, these are all delivered over the next year or so, so it's all spread out, and I'm not buying anything other than these. I should be set for, oh, the next hundred years I think. :D
