Hello, my name is Bo, and...

I am a kickstarter addict. While I've had an account for about a year, I really got pulled in when webcomic artist Rich Burlew did his famous drive to reprint War and XPs. I was one of the lucky ones, gaining a severely reduced crayon drawing on top of a lot of other boons. To do this, I had to stay up all most of the night and snipe one of the pledge amounts refered to as "Broke Ass Student Special." While I'm waiting on deliverly for all the material items, I've gotten the first of the pdf rewards and I couldn't be happier.

From there, I've successfully pledged for a card game where one battles other gm's over geeks and a book inspired by the Spirit of the Century line. I've also had some failures with a gaming cafe out in Washington and a card game inspired by one of my guilty pleasures, tentacles and schoolgirls. Don't judge. Right now I've got two running: The Horror in Clay cthulhi tiki mug and the one that I think proves I am an addict, Deadlands Noir.

Assuming things go according to plan, my $300 toward Deadlands Noir will fulfill a secret wish I've always had, to be an NPC in a published book. Now, it will just be my likeness, so it won't be me as a character but someone who looks strikingly like me, but that's not the point, since the first thing I do in any system anyway is try and build myself. The point is I will be in a book. Role-playing games are one of the few things I can call an actual hobby, and I will be a permanent part of it. Now, go pledge. Now!

As for me, I must prepare myself to eat only easy mac and rice for two weeks, since that $300 is entirely too much for me to spend on a non-essential. -_-
