Update: One component issue I noticed... the mini cards, of which there are a fuck ton, have super tiny text. Looks like a magnifying glass should have been a stretch goal.

First, Weimar: The Fight for Democracy is now two months late on its original delivery. Check that: it actually delivered on time and even early in Europe. But despite the ship having been scheduled to be in port three weeks ago, no one in the US has received any shipping notice at all. Capstone is supposed to be the US publisher facilitating that delivery and have yet to respond to any inquiries about why no one has even seen a notification email.
Then, the Tiny Epic Crimes crime happened. The emails were sent from some shady Chinese firm that listed the games sitting in Anaheim for weeks and then finally that they were all successfully delivered... except that no one got them. Gamelyn, to their credit, has jumped on the situation and is now apparently shipping the orders to everyone from the company's supply, but I still don't have a game in my hands (the copy I mentioned in the Playing thread was a friend's who lives a few miles from me and had theirs delivered without issue.) What makes that one interesting is that someone was advertising an entire pallet of the game on Facebook marketplace for a couple days, but no one is sure whether that was someone just trying to take advantage of people or they were the actual thieves of said pallet trying to make a buck.
And now Unmatched: Adventures: Tales to Amaze has said that fulfillment was supposed to be completed in the US by 10/19 (aka three days from now) but, again, there are many people that apparently haven't even seen a shipping notification, including me, but not including another friend of mine who also lives just a short distance away and received their copy without a problem.
So, yeah. I've had enough. Not only do I have too many things to play right now, but I'm just not interested in the foibles of Kickstarter anymore. I went for years without a problem (except the aforementioned meme-like Five Year Non-Plan) and now the universe is telling me to get out. Once Arcs and a small expansion for War Chest come through, that's the end for the foreseeable future.

I don't think I have any kickstarters outstanding now besides Arcs, which is good. I just got Voidfall in but I didn't back that one, I did a late back through some reseller. Their US distributor sent everything out with like a very thin piece of bubble wrap around all of the boxes, it's quite comical. Mine had a little cosmetic damage (crushed corner) but some people's had all sorts of damage. Wild.

Listing it like that makes me look insane. Of course in the moment it's one thing, then a couple weeks or months later it's another thing, etc.

Seems like that company "Mythic" has a terible KS record even when they do finally deliver so maybe it's a little bit my fault for rolling the dice on them.

I’m not as interested in pledging for games much, these days. I am going to be a day one backer for the new Conan expansion. There may be others I’d consider, but my chances of pledging are going to be low.
