I would be happy to back 3-4 kickstarters per year because SJ Games has a proven track record for delivery. The reliability of their Kickstarters is high. My main interest is GURPS and TFT, but I pay attention to other product lines too. My biggest gripe is the lack of physical products outside of the US. I understand the current cost of international freight makes this prohibitive, but it's a shame nonetheless. I know Gaming Ballistic has been bitten by this issue too. It's a pity SJ Games can't offer international fulfillment via a PoD service, but I imagine this introduces quality control issues.

I did use a freight forwarding service for GURPS Girl Genius. This was slow and expensive, but got the product to me in excellent shape. I'd consider this again for future kickstarters. (Incidentally, the printer did an amazing job on this book - I think it is far better than normal GURPS hardcovers).
