I was talked into the Delta Green Kickstarter from several years ago by a friend of mine. They finally delivered the last book from my pledge, which was just for the core books. In that regard, I guess the kickstarter could be considered a "success" but honestly, of the Kickstarters I have backed, it is one of the few that I consider a total waste of money. I just cannot see myself ever playing the game system, or using the books for anything other than "hills" in miniatures games.
What I like about the books:
- Much like the well done Pinnacle Weird Wars series, they do a good job of explaining a large number of historical events through the lens of "alternate history"
What I do not like about the books:
- Time to produce
- Production quality (editing, typos, and layout errors abound)
- Artwork (it is good, but it is not appealing to me, even as Cthulhu Mythos based artwork)
Anyway, moral of the story, buyer beware, and this is why picking up a book and flipping through it at the Friendly Local Game Store can be a huge positive sometimes!
