Shadowrun, Atlantic City, and the ups and Downs of Kickstarter
Introducing the MAKE Crowdfund Fund. The MAKE Crowdfund Fund. We are putting up a chunk of money each month. We are going to nominate a set of active KS campaigns with a maker sensibility to them. We are going to ask you the readers to decide which one we should back. Whichever one you select, we’ll back at a level to get the primary product. If the project funds, and delivers, we’ll write up and shoot a whole un-boxing, testing, and tear-down sequence to report back on how good the end result was. We want to do our part in both supporting maker KS projects, and keeping them honest.
