Nah, no apology needed & no insult taken. Just thinking out loud. Just that I've seen a other KS campaigns that left me with a very negative feeling in terms of the pricing structure, the goals, etc. They seemed very antithetical to the spirit in which KS was started as I understood it, & at the very least made me shy off on supporting instead of jumping on board!

Compare that amount to two recent Richard Launius (of Arkham Horror fame) kickstarter games:

* Ace Detective, $24,789
* Legends of the American Frontier, $14,605

Heck, 8th Summit's gorgeous reprint of Wolfgang Kramer's Expedition: Famous Explorers only hit $27,011! Seriously... it's Wolfgang Kramer, for crying out loud!

Thanks for putting it in context for me. I'm new to the whole KS thing & haven't followed any other campaigns, so this gives me a whole different perspective.

From Black Christmas and Silent Night, Bloody Night to Halloween and Friday the 13th, we were the kids that funded the creation of that entire genre.

By the looks of everything, the game has the potential to be a ton of fun. For the sake of my strained wallet, I certainly hope it is.

Sounds like you & I are of similar tastes, being of the same generation & all.

I'm trying not to set my hopes TOO high, but at the same time I am looking forward to it quite a bit. If I get a similar level of game play & immersion as, say, ATOE (or even close), then I'll be happy.
