To me kickstarter is just a way to shift the risk from the producer to the customer. Customers take the risks of an investor without the reward or influence that regular investors require.

This is why I don't do kick starters or preorders. Once they take your money, you got nothing they need. When you got nothing they need, they could give two shits about your update.

I’m saying that. It’s $120 not $12,000. Panic over $120 is just not worth it..

The first thing I thought too. Like Kevin, just looking at that photo I can tell what a lazy slacker with questionable integrity he must have.

I would be too ashamed of posting a photo wearing that button down shirt with all those zipper pockets on it.

He probably just showed up with a third of the cash collected from the Kickstarter and said “want some free money”

What it sounds like is that they haven't put any real effort into the project yet.

Unbound. Jpop will then come to your house and help you staple the pages together.

Hey now, I have almost every confidence that Jpop can work a stapler.

edit: Upon receiving multiple pm's in a very short amount of time from people who had previously worked at Bally/Williams during the 1990's, I must redact my previous statement.

Gomez gave them a bunch of behind the scenes sketches and preliminary art from the development process to use in the book but apparently they preferred to go with art from the “brochures” that everyone has already seen. Gomez seemed a little disappointed with some of their choices.

Since Paperflock is holding everyone’s book ransom with ridiculous shipping charges, then as a group, all you backers should treat it as a kidnapping. Noone should send them any shipping money until they show “proof of life”. Demand a picture of all the printed books where they are supposedly being stored. I for one, don’t believe for a second that the books exist. We’ve seen this many times before. It would not surprise me to find out that the shipping money they are trying to extort is needed to print the books. That is best case scenario. Worst case is they just want to steal as much money as possible before pulling a Kulek.
