It's still $3.000. Money for nothing and chicken wings for free.

I'm convinced that at a certain point in time GMSkarka had the sincere intention of delivering a finished Far West product.

But how deluded would I have to be to think that a concept like 'Couchpotato : the Self-Indulging' will ever get beyond the Collect-Funds phase? Never mind shipping a physical item to backers...

I would bet the numbers would be far more impressive if they graded it by weight of backers rather than the pittance they donated.... just sayin!

Minimum backer amount = $ equal to backer's body weight.

If you say "look it up", I'd think one would want to provide a link. As for what SJWs want, as WWotW noted, it's a tiny project of a solo journaling RPG (one of those weird niche genres) that raised $3580 with 181 backers.

cf. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/avenmcconnaughey/fat-self-care-volume-1

By comparison - Coyote and Crow is billed as a "science fantasy role-playing game set in an uncolonized future", set in an alternate future of the Americas where European colonization never occurred. It raised $421,367 from 6197 backers at last count.

cf. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/connoralexander/coyote-and-crow

The former is a tiny niche within a niche - the latter at least shows some broader interest.

I must say though it will probably be overwokified I'm quite interested in C&C setting, I mean this is on paper interesting idea.

Yeah. I don't know the authors' work, so I'm not inclined to try it out yet. (I rarely go for any Kickstarter.) But the idea is interesting, I agree.

I'm intrigued to see the city of Cahokia being featured. I had been thinking about a swashbuckling game set in medieval Cahokia, on the idea that swashbuckling is really about the genre and society rather than about steel.

Reading the Kickstarter has provided me with a new motivation to lose those last 20 pounds.

I started reading the Kickstarter, but then got sidetracked thinking of jokes about "stretch goals". (Your waistband, touching your toes etc.)

Agree the non-colonised America setting sounds interesting in principle. Tricky to pull off the backstory in a plausible way. Presumably Europe has to get quasi-nuked. Then what? Ming vs Ottomans along the Mississippi frontier?

And now we see the reason behind the combat wheelchair shit; it was simply laying the groundwork for the walmart style combat mobility scooters that liches will cluster at dungeon entrances. How could we have been so blind?
