    On the other had there are backers like myself who are extremely excited by the prospect of a new game and hopefully series of games in the future by folks that have proved their passion for creating amazing games, and will thus plop down a large sum in support for them. However, I must admit that, although I pledged for the physical box right out of the gate, I would not normally do so for teams that I was not as hopeful for. Often times I will skip a project where the digital game is more than $20 if what is shown is anything less than mind-blowing.

    Frankly, in this case, I consider obtaining the physical game a way to own a piece of gaming history. Just think of how rare and coveted boxed copies of old dos games have become. Now, with games coming out in crappy plastic boxes that all look identical, these kickstarter rewards are even more valuable to serious gamers.

    If TSI does create a full and deep RPG worthy of full retail price, then $25 is a steal in my book, especially for the first game of a company that may be destined for great things. Time will tell.

    Didn’t Laura Bowen mention that she did a good amount of art for the gold box games? I imagine that she would be able to do some art in a similar style. In any case, I would also love to see a few artistic nods to the old games in there somewhere.

    I was thinking the same thing. I generally don’t sign up for forums if a phone number and address are required, although in this case, since they will already get the information when the time comes to ship my physical kickstarter rewards, I guess no worries. Plus, My love for classic SSI inspires me to put up with a bit more than I would normally.
