I backed it. I wonder if I can finally make a table top game set in the world of Grim Fandango

The thing that really worries me about this one is the time-table. I've been keeping an eye on this and it's been on Patreon more than a year. Even with that, the KS is projecting pdf delivery a year out from now.

Two comments, first - time has no real meaning on kickstarter, it's never done when they think it will be. This is a more realistic time table when you consider the stretch goals. This way it might be done early, hey it could happen! Second, damn you HyveMynd , I am trying to cut down on the Kickstarters, but I do love me some Central American Native based RPG. I guess I can work Saturday and watch GeneX later.

I know better than to treat KS dates like a stopwatch, but this is a first-time creator telling me there is a lot more work to be done. Those never seem to go well.

Yeah, I know that feeling akavidar. I've been trying to reduce my non-essential spending as well. That included cancelling all the Patreon stuff I was supporting, including Nahual, which is how I knew about it. There have been a few KS pop up recently that I want to support. I might just have to do it. That's fair greatwyrm. This is a first time creator, but they have a number of people on their team with previous experience. As I said, I've been following this for a while, over like a year, I think, and I've watched it develop. I too am very wary of backing projects that haven't been completed to a certain degree, but Nahual seems to be mostly done. That's my impression though and might turn out to be wrong. I am by no means saying you should back this if you're getting warning bells.

But it is a fairly low buy in, I backed the softcover, comes with the pdf and all the stretch goals for $20 plus $5 shipping, pdf only is even less. So not a big loss on a failure. I usually end up with something for most of the things I back. Also, the Patreon shows that there is something there. You pays yer money and youse takes your chances. You could just wait for it to come out and get it then.

I played this game online with a designer running it, and it was pretty awesome. I'm don't know how quickly I'd get it to the table, but I backed it to support the vision, and they've worked hard at playtesting it over the last 2 years. Miguel was recently interviewed by Rich Rogers on +1 Forward (which means you also get a little Actual Play in there in the "Act Under Fire" segment): www.gauntlet-rpg.com/1-forward/nahual

Welp…
The KS just finished, and did well. He was at the last Metatopia, running sessions of the game, so at the very least, he's putting in the work. Granted, it's quite possible that despite all good intentions and hard work, something could tank it. I have faith that he'll not take the money and run, at the very least, so....

I hate to admit it, but the clock ran out by the time I thought to go back and give it one last look. I'll probably be a day-one buyer as soon as it hits DriveThru.

I'll grab it later on because I'm not dealing with KS's right now.
