For most of the Fall, I've complained about the social media marketing campaigns for some Kickstarters: long lead-in, the redundancy, the lack of transparency, even as a teasers.
Cryptozoic certainly didn't over-advertised, and they definitely undersold the potential of their latest.
When I saw the Kickstarter for a 40th Anniversary Edition of the DC Heroes RPG (Mayfair Games), I had hoped for a nice box-set, some premium add-ons, and reasonable stretch goals of a few classic supplements.
Not only are they reproducing the 1st Edition AND 2nd Edition boxed sets ($60 each), but they're reproducing every supplement and every module for both editions! For $695 you get both sets, the other 50 or so books, and all the add-on accessories. Somewhere in the middle, there might be a better solution for each fan of the game....
