I just backed the following Dominion storage case project:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/97519099/dominion-storage-boxes-and-more?ref=category

Although not the first person to do a project like this, this is the first one I'm aware of that met it's funding goal and will ship outside the United States. I also think the quality of the internal components is better, unlike the other project on Kickstarter right now which has plastic trays. The plastic trays storage case is also more expensive.

I'm backing at the premium case level; there's only premium 50 slots (in two groups of 25). I prefer the look of the joinery on the premium case, which should stay the same on the final version.

This project has some great stretch goals, the first of which has already been unlocked. I'm hoping it will reach at least $15k so that the token box is unlocked.

I just backed the Spheres of Power: A New Pathfinder Magic System .
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1708940685/spheres-of-power-a-new-pathfinder-magic-system

I've always enjoyed tabletop RPGs, but haven't gotten a lot of opportunity to play. I've steered away from magic users for the most part except for a bard once or twice. They always seemed too limited to me. This looks like a very interesting concept for magic users in this genre. I'm really interested to see what they come up and I wish them success with it.

Hey Joff, did you receive the package yet? Flash Point should come to you with Snowdonia. That's the way mine came.

We are anxious to try out Snowdonia. Hopefully this weekend!

Joff · « **Reply #5 on:** December 19, 2013, 10:47:29 PM »

Yes, I got everything in one package about a month and a half ago - Coup, Flash Point and the Snowdonia expansion. Haven't actually tried out the Snowdonia expansion as yet though. Perhaps over Christmas.

Carcking · « **Reply #6 on:** December 22, 2013, 06:55:32 PM »

My wife and I played our first game ever of Snowdonia last night. We played the basic game and really enjoyed it. We're looking forward to playing with more players now - and will have plenty of opportunity over our Christmas vacation. Can't wait!

Did anyone else back Coin Age? I thought it looked like a really cool little game. Looking forward to it. I also recently bought Gunship: First Strike on CoolStuffInc.com for a very low price. That game kickstarted over a year ago and I was involved in the thread on BGG to come up with the name. I wasn't able to back it, but I'm glad I am finally able to get it.

Andrew the Ambo · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2014, 01:11:19 AM »

Yes. At that price I could not resist Coin Age. Also backed Fleet and Brew Master.

Carcatronn · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2014, 01:11:22 PM »

Gosh I missed CoinAge by 1 day when browsing Kickstarter, I was so bummed! Can't wait to purchase this once they have them on their site. I did back Castles and a project offering a stainless steel deck of cards.

Scott · « **Reply #10 on:** January 08, 2014, 06:47:41 PM »

I backed Coin Age and Templar Intrigue. At such a low price, there wasn't much to lose. They just launched another microgame Kickstarter for a game where you cook stew; I think I'll pass on that. TMG's interest in micro-games inspired me to revisit my idea for a train-themed dice game. I reduced it back to my original concept, stripping away everything I'd been trying to add to it, and I'm very pleased with how it plays. Once TMG is ready to accept micro-game submissions, I think I might put my hat in the ring.

As an original backer of Fleet, I backed the Arctic Bounty expansion. Some day I hope to actually play it.

I was also an original backer of Gunship, and I've been backing the expansions since then. I'm not as keen on the concept behind the Afterburners expansion (it reminds me of Formula D), but I suspect the components will be of some use in later expansions which will be more along the lines of the original game.

Whaleyland · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2014, 08:53:38 PM »

I backed Fleet: Arctic Bounty, Coin Age, and Burgoo, the latter two because they were so ingenious for such a cheap price, the former because it looked awesome. I had purchased Gunship: First Strike via Kickstarter but traded it for Twilight Struggle because the quality was poor and the game didn't end up interesting me much.
