I'm glad you came around. I think the Logas situation (which i only know from the thread on here) is unfortunate. I do, think, though that Tim and Jane can't afford to not produce - their careers depend on it.

Heathers nor Plotkins do not - they're doing these projects as hobbies, not business.

I have backed a couple of Kickstarters, notably "The Dead Linger," where I have a bit of fear. Not just at it not going through, but of the concept being too bad, but I take my risks there.

I have very little doubt Tim, Al, Jane, and Brygo at Interplay will come through - hence much larger pledges.
