Cynthia had issues getting the PoD copy ready. Before she could, she needed surgery on her hands (she showed me a picture of her hands prior to the surgery. Needless to say, not every backer has gotten copies. She sends out copies every month to a group of people she lists in an update. Some who were sent copies claim they never got theirs. I was in the first mailing, and I got mine, so I haven't kept a close eye on it. However, the delays also delayed the Gallery of Evil KS (a supplement for Capes, Cowls & Villains Foul). The print copy of that isn't out (the pdf is), and there's been radio silence on that one. I got a refund down to the digital level on that one.
A lot of backers are irate that Spectrum (the company) has released 3 rpgs since (none were via KS though), and some outright accused Cynthia of using the money from the KS to finance those. Given the first of those came out 3 years after the KS funded, I highly doubt there was any money left. I've known Cynthia for years, and I don't believe she'd do something like that. I get the anger and frustration though; my own frustration is why I downgraded to the digital level on Gallery of Evil. Some people made insinuations that the situation is as bad as Far West, but given both products have a full pdf out, and one is in print (and Far West was 2 or 3 years before Cartoon Action Hour S3), it isn't. It's still a total clusterf*ck.
Yeah, this one sucks for me. I consider Cynthia a friend. I've touted her games HIGHLY in my blog over the years, and she's regularly pulled those quotes for promotion.
And I'm one of the folks waiting for my physical copy.
Still.
A highlight of the BESM thread for me was coming across GMS chewing out McKinnon about his lack of communication and honesty. In retrospect it's just fascinating

That irony IS pretty impressive, since it's almost two years into Far West.
