Mike Nystul raised almost $60,000 (minus fees and other stuff) on Kickstarter to make the Cairn and Axes and Anvils gaming products. (There was also a dungeon project, that I don't really know anything about.) The projects ran into some big problems , which Mike has posted publicly about. Some people in the community have taken a lot of time to publicly bash Mike in blogs and other places . Its time for it to be said -- Enough is Enough! Kickstarters are risky and projects fail. Though Mike made some serious mistakes, Mike has done the community a great service after the fact by 1) sharing his mistakes publicly so we can all learn from them and 2) by continuing to try to move the products forward, even if it is at a slow pace, to try to meet his obligations. I understand that people are unhappy and feel ripped off. Get over it. Kickstarters are not preorders on amazon. They are an investment and they have risk. It isn't like any...
