Discussion - Crowdfunding 2015 - part 1


A new year, a new set of interesting projects to support.  Thankfully all the ones I backed last year wound up making it (except the Godsfall RPG- although looking again, it looks like it made it the second time around and I missed it).

This year, I'm starting off with a few solid-looking ones.

1.  The Book of Giants by Flesk Publications - all the projects I've funded by them so far have turned out amazingly well (not to mention all the collections I've bought from their store) - and the one book I already have by Petar Meseldžija is excellent.

2.  Portal to Hell - a short film based on Rowdy Roddy Piper fighting Cthulhu (sounds like fun).  I imagine it might be similar to Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, which was pretty fun on it's own too

3.  Iron Sky 2 - the first one was a lot of fun - really did a good job establishing the crowdfunding basis even outside kickstarter.  Not to mention that the Finnish team behind it is getting pretty good at getting bang out of their buck - ever since "Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning" - a classy parody riffing Star Trek vs Babylon 5.

-------------------

On a separate note - I think my goal this year for this site is one review a week...and to make it easier, I'm going to see about themed months so I don't bounce around too much.  Not that the themes will necessarily meet normal genre expectations necessarily, but I figure it'll be good practice and hopefully you'll enjoy it too.
