There is now a stats page on the Kickstarter showing the success rate for projects seeking funding through the site. There are interesting breakdowns by category, and these show that just over a third of all gaming projects achieve their funding goals. Thanks VG247.

If the Shadowrun game actually gets made and isn't a complete shitfest, I'll have gotten my value out of it ten times over, since there never would have BEEN a Shadowrun game to begin with. (Same for Wasteland 2.)

Exactly. I'd gladly toss money towards a game if it interests me and it's one that, under normal circumstances, a publisher wouldn't touch and wouldn't get made. At least then, they can't blame the publisher, and I'll never wonder what might have been if Jordan had been given the chance to make a ShadowRun game his way (or Brian making a WL2 game the way he wanted).

It's certainty not a guaranty for success, but between that and nothing at all, I'll take a risk.
