Adventurer's Backpack Kickstarter

**NotRussellCrowe** · October 25th, 2016, 17:14

Not much of a C&C player myself but stumbled upon this in my travels of the internet this morning and thought some of you might be interested. At the time of this posting it's $400 away from being backed and it only just launched today.

Happy gaming!

Here's hoping a FG version is released.

I'll back this, but just at the PDF level.

I will only buy digital too I think.

I think that deserves a picture of how much C&C that makes!

Someone on the kickstarter asked Steve if it will be coming to FG. His response was: that will no doubt happen! ~ Steve

I think I have every edition of the PHB, M&T and CKG except limited edition ones... enough already!

That's one big Keepers guide. Wow. But some hobbies are worth it. Until you have to move. And carry the boxes.

I have a floor to ceiling book case full of RPGs. I dont buy many physical ones any more. I actually paid for these 2 or 3 years ago...
This year I have probably only bought Dungeon World, the D&D Dungeon Masters Guide and one more in physical form. Everything else has been digital.

Books are very much a challenge when moving!

After moving every two years for a couple of decades including two moves to Asia, I buy a lot in digital form. I still prefer physical books to learn RPG rules though. Recently, I have been replacing my AD&D books that I disposed of many moves ago (they were loved to death).

I did back this Kickstarter in dead tree form. I will eventually order the other books via Amazon.com. The free shipping beats the lower Kickstarter prices.

I've backed this Kickstarter but, to be perfrectly honest, I'm struggling to see the value I get for parting with my money now. I've backed at the $40 level to get the print and PDF - plus shipping to be charged via backerkit after. Assuming that a print/PDf bundle will go for something similar to the player's handbook on their store which is $36 (or even if it is a bit more $40-45), and that TLG have their usual semi-regular sales with 25-40% off items in their store. I'm really struggling to see what the advantage is to me backing this Kickstarter - other than getting the book early (and helping to ensure the book is released in the first place), unless there will be some KS exclusive stretch goals opening up that make it worth my while.

I love the TLG stuff and like to support them, but I've been seeing more and more from their recent Kickstarters that they really are becoming just a pre-order mechanism that takes my money now and doesn't give me savings in return and I get the product (usually) many months after I've parted with my money. (This isn't just TLG doing this in Kickstarter now with many established RPG companies doing this for new products, but this is a very specific example.)
