Cutting Back on Backing Kickstarters

I knew it was going to come to this at some point. As much as I'm a Kickstarter addict, something had to give, and it just did. I was already easing up on the pedal what with the new car purchase in December, but with recent emergency vet bills, helping our son buy his first (used) car and restarting of renovations at the house, cash is going to be tight. Besides, I have enough pending Kickstarters to fuel my gaming habits for a lifetime - at least, that's what my wife recently told me, and she certainly isnt wrong.

So, I'm limiting myself to Old School / OSR styled projects. So, Barrowmaze Complete is in - Ares Magazine is out. I'm looking over a draft copy of a forthcoming OSR Kickstarter, so that will probably be in, while Storyscape will probably be out (actually, probably won't fund).

Ah well, less new projects to piss me off ;)

As an aside, if any know of reputable breeders of Miniature Dachshunds in the NYC Metro Area, let me know. My wife has a broken heart with the passing of our dauchshund Chloe, and I'm looking to help mend it :)

  2. Sorry that I don't know of any. We always go pound puppy/rescue pups. And again, sorry to hear how things went down for Chloe. I still remember when our little Peanut passed a few years back and even today, I still miss that little shit.

  3. I know of breeders out here in the southwest but that won't help you much. Lost a long time cat who had been with me since my Seattle days recently for no good reason; still investigating that our complex used pesticides harmful to animals. It's tough losing a pet, so I wish you luck. As for KS.....I've decided I don't back a new one until the old one finishes. Seems to work well. That old one is Deluxe T&T and it's been chugging along late for about five months now.
