The mighty Kickstarter thread, V2!
The following is a list of currently running Kickstarter and Indigogo projects which relate to the world of miniature wargames, dice and the odd other gamer based subject. These are all running projects which you can fund and be a supporting backer to and get some neat rewards. Many crowed sourced projects often put products (models!) up with a steep discount or even at manufacture price so its a great time to get into a new game with a few friends getting starter packs (you don't all need to pay one person can pledge for all and just collect the funds from your friends); or just add some unique looks to your armies; or get some really pretty miniatures to paint and display.
Note Indiegogo are also now being listed.
They have fixed and flexible funding options (fixed are like KS in that a minimum must be reached to gain funding - flexible allows for projects to fail their minimum, but they still still get all of the money pledged thus far) and they also accept paypal as a payment option (selectable by the project organiser).
After the running lists is a summary of all previous listed projects including if they were funded or not along with a link to their pledging page. This is a good archive to check for new miniature lines as well as additional products that you could consider. Also note that many are also using post-KS pledging through Paypal for those who can't pay normally. This is optional and done by the company themselves not through KS and as such not all will have this and not all will allow new people after the closing date. That said for those that do it can be a good way to get in even after things have ended.
