Coyote and Crow Update

[ysabetwordsmith]

The current numbers for Coyote and Crow are:

Coyote & Crow the Role Playing Game
A science fiction and fantasy tabletop RPG set in a near-future where the Americas were never colonized, created by a team of Natives.

$709,239 pledged of $18,000 goal
10,373 backers
7 days to go

If you've been saving up for this one, you still have a week left.  It's close to the $750,000 stretch goal.  I'm curious whether it'll see a final surge like most projects do, when it has kept up high traffic all along.

Kickstarter is a wonderful web site. I may - or may not - have managed to sponsor this. No acknowledgement email, no acknowledgement web page. Also no request for either a credit card or a mailing address, though kickstarter might have had both on file from a previous sponsorship in 2014. And no way I can see to check wht I may or may not have sponsored.

I guess I was using the wrong browser, and/or committing the sin of not logging in via Google or similar, but logging in (rather than creating a new kickstarter account) after attempting to sponsor rather than before).

When should I expect my credit card to be charged, if the sponsorship went through?

Oh, this is a real class act. When I logged in with my ancient account, I got a request to confirm my email, specifically described as being so they could send me recommendations and other things I'd class as spam. So of course I did nothing of the kind. Without the account state being confirmed, you are half logged in, and there's no sign of your name in the upper right hand corner of your screen, no way to check e.g. what you've contributed to, etc. etc. Poking around the support section, I clicked "this was no use" on some article thatdidn't cover my mess, and that action caused another request to confirm my account. (Because randos who can't access/create accounts shouldn't be able to report their problems, I guess.) That also seems to have finally triggered the magic email that gave me the URL to click on, to become confirmed. But that doesn't chaneg the state of your browser windows, not even the one where you confirmed, IIRC.

However, farther interactions with their support section triggered a demand to login again (as a requirement for getting human help/a means of emailing their support team). That gives you a screen that shows signs of someone being logged in, with a name that might have been what I used in 2014. You also get a chat thing that takes a lot of screen space but doesn't echo any characters I type, at least with my elderly version of Safari. Or get that if you click on their contact us section.

I'd really like to get a hard copy of this game. I don't care all that much whether I support them in advance or buy it afterwards. But kickstarter doesn't want my business. and I'm less than eager to give them (kicksatrter) anything but a kick in their metaphorical teeth.
