What kickstarters have you kickstarted, and what patreons have you supported?

- Start date
Kickstarter:
Beat Metal T-Shirt - Fan project for Backloggery. Really nice shirt, but I've still yet to wear it.
Double Fine Adventure - I paid to have my name in the credits of this beautiful train wreck.
Reincarnation: The Root of All Evil - 6+ years into production, still rolling along. I can wait.
The Fall of Nemesis: Clash of the Kaijujin - What a mismanaged mess. Project was cancelled a few months ago. Creators seemed to think this was the PS2 era, where they could just slap any old thing in a box and people would buy it.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - Just...finish the fucking thing, I don't care about fanart updates.
Yooka-Laylee - Strangely...average.
Indiegogo
Psychonauts 2 - Take your time, Tim. Don't fuck us on this.

Shenmue the second the announcement was made. That ended up being my first Kickstarter, I usually just wait till games actually hit retail to buy.
Since then I've backed a few non gaming items starting with Tuxy which looks amazing, as well as a couple of convenience items I've basically forgot about which were a travel pillow and a key ring thing. Still waiting on everything since the campaigns ended relatively recently.
No Patreons yet, but thinking of doing the Sobro smart side table on Indiegogo before it ends.

Das Keyboard 5Q. It has been a mess... they kept promising delivery dates and would then miss the deadline, probably happened like 10 times. 2 years of delays.
Then this February they finally ship (Only those who paid extra for expedited shipping) and lucky for them they arrive with all sorts of issues. So Das halted shipping again.
What I find absurd is that they asked for more money a few months after the project was funded from all backers for shipping, that was like a year ago. Yet the damn thing didn't ship then either.

53 backed. 51 successful. 1 cancelled. 1 unsuccessful.
Of the 51 successful, 49 actual delivered on the products. 1 couldn't deliver but I did get a refund, the other didn't deliver and couldn't say when they can deliver refunds. I ate a 5$ reward.
Of the 49 that actually delivered, I was happy with almost of them except one. The good thing is the one was only a 3$ investment so again, came out pretty well.

I've backed 6 physical products and 2 of those (some headphones and some glasses) still haven't been fulfilled after 2 years. I also ordered a wallet and while I did get it delivered it was really shitty quality and had such a strong chemical smell that I had to throw it away right out of the box.
I supported the production of the English dub of the French cartoon Wakfu on Kickstarter. I was pleased with the rewards, but I was really more interested in watching the show in French with English subtitles. While they did include that option, they ended up dubtitling it, and I never actually watched the show.
Bloodstained (Late but we'll see if it's any good)
Some wood/metal wallet thing (on time, but less practical than I imagined)
Pressy - and android button addon (a little late, but far less useful that I imagined)
Exploding kittens (on time, was ok the 2 times I played it)
But the one that I backed that actually turned out great was the Baubax jacket:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597538543/the-worlds-best-travel-jacket-with-25-features-bau
I got the blazer and it works great. Also it doesn't look quite as douchey as the guy in the pic

Patreon: Only Easy Allies. I probably wouldn't spend a dime on any other creators but EZA needs to exist so I support.
Kickstarter:
- bloodstained (not even into the game that much but got caught up in hype)
- Shenmue 3 - once again never played these games but had to do it for Michael Huber from eza.

About three games and thirty board games I think. Some of the best games I got came from Kickstarters, so it's been a success for me.
I'm currently at 44 backed projects on Kickstarter, all in the 'Games' category. 2 were digital games (Bloodstained, so I could get a physical copy of it, and a digital version of Boss Monster), the rest are all tabletop games/expansions. The biggest projects I've backed, in terms of the amount of money I put into them, were Rising Sun, BattleCON War: Remastered (because I backed for the $220 tier or however much that let you get everything they had currently released), Yomi Second Edition Deluxe Edition, and Zombicide Season 3.
Only one Kickstarter.
Ghost Song - game made by a gaffer iirc, back in maybe 2013ish.
I got burned and given up, in the time since then:
1) I've graduated uni
2) Don't even have a PC anymore to play the game on
3) The Metroidvania draught it was banking on is filling up, you got Hollow Knight, Bloodstained, even Metroid itself of the top of my head
4) It has a Wii U version of the game as a stretch goal
5) NeoGAF imploded
Should it ever come out, I'll just put it on the b/s/t thread.

Ages ago, I backed a hardware Kickstarter for a handheld device "GCW Zero" or something. Though I eventually got it, I will never back any hardware project again.
Then a few games, of course only lowest tier to get the game (digitally):
Bloodstained
The Bard's Tale
Underworld Ascension

Came from a place of not even preordering much, so potentially not receiving anything for my money seemed crazy for me.
But then saw the option of getting my hands on a new Chris Roberts single player space combat game (could not give less of a shit about Star Citizen) and put 30$ into Squadron 42 and another 5$ when they changed from Kickstarter to their own page.
Still waiting for the results of that. But it is starting to look like I might get to try it in this decade.

I love me some Kickstarter, here's an essay (sorry)
Board Games:
Japanese: The game (a card game to help with learning Japanese, I haven't really used it much)
Kingdom: The Angelic War (a solid 1v1 card game where you try to move your angels across the board to damage an opponent.)
Draco Magi & expansion - A great little card game with absolutely beautiful artwork, you play dragons onto an area then make them fight each other to try and conquer said area.
Chaosmos - So uh...this was one of the first Kickstarter games I backed and I've still yet to play it. It's real pretty and I love the concept of it, just haven't gotten it to the table yet.
Oddball Aeronauts - Basically a more tactical version of Top Trumps with really great steampunk art. I love this one a lot, it doesn't need a table either so it's good for keeping in your bag and playing when you're out and about.
Nightlight - A wave based defence card game with beautiful artwork where you play as a kid's toy defending them against nightmares. The game is pretty shit, but gosh is it pretty.
Bright Future - A survival game set in a Metro-esque underground post apocalyptic world. where you're travelling around trying to find a cure for a virus which is wiping out humanity while fighting off mutants. It's pretty great and writing this is reminding me that I should really play it again.
Retreat To Darkmoor - Great little cardgame that combines elements of some of my faves, mainly Guillotine and Smash Up. Basically you're a bunch of monsters trying to escape into a fort to hide from the heroes who are hunting you down. You do this by queuing your minions up outside the forts they're trying to get into and when a certain number reach it, everyone gets in. However, heroes will be drawn to big crowds of minions and start murdering anyone at the back of the queue. It's goofy and fun and I recommend it a lot.
Quests of Valeria - I got this because it was cheap but haven't actually played it.
Fugitive & Hardback & Paperback expansion - Tim Fowers is the best and can do no wrong. Buy all these games.
Steal this Game - A game made by a board game company after someone stole everything from their booth at a board game convention. They also did deals where you could buy this game bundled with a couple of the things they were intending to sell at that convention so I picked up a few of their other games.
Tao Long - Basically multiplayer Snake but with Dragons? It's really pretty...
SUPERHOT the card game - Surprisingly decent single played deck builder that uses the SUPERHOT theme pretty well.
Rising Sun - Just...so good. Beautiful miniatures, lots of negotiation and betrayal and handling battles with bidding money is just perfect.
Billionaire Banshee's Expansion - Not out yet, but gosh I love that base game a lot.
The Shipwreck Arcana - Another "it was cheap and pretty" purchase. Uses Tarot style cards and basically it's like a co-operative Mastermind. Players draw two numbers between 1-7 and then place one of them on a tarot card giving a clue as to what the remaining one is (ie: If the number is 1,2 or 3 play the other number on this card) It's fun, not great though.
Consentacle - A card game about the love between a human and a tentacle monster. Idunno, I heard it was really good. Not out yet.
Chronicles of Crime - Also not out yet, it's a VR game - board game hybrid where one played looks at a crime scene in VR and describes it to other players. Reminds me a lot of Mask of Anubis which had a super limited release outside of Japan.
Video Games:
Koe - An RPG with the intention of helping learn Japanese. Still isn't out yet, 3 years after the estimated date has passed. But it does an Alpha version on Steam that they are updating pretty frequently, they just massively underestimated how long it'd take.
Frog Fractions 2 - Worth every penny.
Drift Stage - Awesome looking faux-retro arcadey racing game. Still isn't out yet, they keep going silent for months then popping back up going "any day now we'll have an Early Access build on Steam" then going silent again. Game is rad though, I hope they pull it off in the end.
Other:
Pebble Time - I really like this watch, it's a real shame that Fitbit killed them.
I use Patreon a whole lot less so I just have:
Astonishing Legends - A podcast about urban myths and conspiracies and legends and supernatural stuffs. The hosts have a good balance of giving every theory a fair shake and calling out complete nonsense as complete nonsense. Also I got a cool mug from it.
Auralnauts - You've probably seen their Bane Outtakes/freestyle rap videos or their Starwars stuff. They're the best and their Patreon hasn't been super successful so I felt like I needed to throw money at them.
Sword and Laser - Book podcast with Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt. I've been listening to it for ages so figured I should start giving them money for it.

I backed 2 projects on KS:
- Zombicide: Green Horde
Got the (board) game already, it's awesome. I should get my backer rewards in approx. June and I can't wait!
- Cthulhu Dark
A tabletop RPG with a huge focus on the narrative (there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for combat) which seems great, but I yet have to play it. Also my D&D group is rather fond of combat so that might be difficult. Already received that aswell.

A few hundreds of kickstarters, until now only 3-4 are really failing, the rest usually have some delays, but overall almost all of them are happening and ended in my hands.
Most of them are videogames, some board games, and a few of design products.

Yes, I know that's a lot - there's even more that I haven't listed (and I've markedly cut down in the last year or so). Some successes, some failures, but overall I feel I've had a very positive experience; I'm still very much open to continuing to donate should the right project come to my attention.

Yes, I know that's a lot - there's even more that I haven't listed (and I've markedly cut down in the last year or so). Some successes, some failures, but overall I feel I've had a very positive experience; I'm still very much open to continuing to donate should the right project come to my attention.

Annoyed that I missed this, but I intend to pick it up at retail.
While understandably there's more focus on the video games side of Kickstarter, the board games line has a ridiculous amount of interesting stuff in it. Not necessarily all good, but definitely interesting!
Kickstarter:
Mighty No. 9
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
Anamanaguchi's "Endless Fantasy"
Patreon:
Talking Simpsons
Laser Time
Cartoons 101
Everything has delivered except for MN9, which didn't deliver only in a metaphorical sense.

Mage the ascension 20th anniversary
Demon the decent
Shenmue 3
wasteland 2
bloodstained
A few others I have forgotten about.
The only real shitshow has been Luma lamp. I must have backed it in 13 or 14 and since then all of its features have become available on lamps in Ikea. They added features never mentioned like aromatherapy or something and last week they sent me a final survey, that was supposed to include options for power supply but included none of that.
I expect the thing to come with a US plug now.

Bunch of Kickstarters:
- Bloodstained
- yooka laylee
- Michael J Sullivan books (death of dulgath and disappearance of winter's daughter)
- Battle Chasers
- Tokyo Dark
- Cyanide and Happiness Card game
Patreon: Easy Allies since day one, I was devastated when Gametrailers was shut down
Kickstarter:
- Hyper Light Drifter, best Kickstarter I ever backed, love that game
- Battle Chasers Nightwar, still waiting for the Switch release
- Shenmue 3
- Yooka-Laylee, which left me quite disappointed and the late Switch release certainly didn't do it any favor
- Paradise Lost: First Contact, backed it 4 years ago and still waiting (well, not really)
- Adventures of Pip
- Double Fine Adventure alias Broken Age
- Mighty No. 9 (never even downloaded it)
Haven't backed a Kickstarter for quite a while, got my fingers burnt one too many times.

I tried to Kickstart Shadow of the Eternals, but it didn't fund...
My spouse has kick-started a lot of art and art supply, and stationary Kickstarters, though.
