I might have a bit of an obsessive relationship with Kickstarter. To date, I’ve backed 74 projects, my current one being Mythulu’s second storytelling card deck geared toward supporting characters (first deck was main character/hero focused).
My obsessive habits include tarot decks, RPGs, and graphic novel projects. At this point I have had to delete the app off my phone and log myself completely out or I will find a new wonderful project to back every day. I’m not joking, that actually happened.
As a crowdfunder, I love seeing creators succeed and feeling like I am a part of the process of making their idea come into fruition. Of course the rewards are also wonderful, as my 20+ tarot decks can attest to.
