If you are a backer of either Onimaru or Manchukuo, the games that Penguin & Panda Productions launched on Kickstarter in 2019, you may be painfully aware of what I'm talking about.
Onimaru is awfully delayed, with the creator only having shown snippets of the rulebook in the KS updates. In the latest one, he claims to suffer from a lack of motivation to go on. Having to juggle 4 different Kickstarter deliveries (Onimaru, Manchukuo, Sweet Mess and Montana - the latter two under a different company name) is taking a toll on him, and who knows how the funds from these campaigns have been handled.
Fingers crossed that this gets resolved. I remember I had encouraged JW to back Onimaru and now wish I hadn't...
Sorry to hear that about Xobos and good luck on both Euthia and Zerywia. Let's see how they turn out. I'm glad you see KS as an adrenaline kick. 😄 It would indeed be a shame if you were completely turned off of Kickstarter due to the Xobos scam.
