Crowdfunding is a boon and a bane. I don’t have a LGS, so without self-published games or crowdfunded games, I’m at the mercy of Amazon/interbutts sellers or what I can order at my local book seller (gotta have an ISBN, yo).

But if I miss that funding campaign or the first published edition run…well, fuck me, I might be outta luck unless someone sells it on ebay for a ridiculous amount.

Although, I guess it’s always kinda been that way with RPGs and board games, hasn’t it? Even before the internet, finding games was a crapshoot. Someone else always had that grail game you’d only heard about through friends or read about in a magazine.
