I too am addicted to watching the ticker go up, up, up... like watching the performance of a stock or the price of gold on a volatile trading day; I can't stop checking.

Thankfully, the TFT Kickstarter goes in the happy direction.

From the Dungeon Fantasy experience it looks like a classic inverted-U model, the same curve as used to e.g. describe hard drive failures. A bunch of people turn up as soon as it's announced - that's close to exhausted now, and got us to $130K or so. A thin trickle of people turn up as they hear about it, probably by word of mouth. And a final surge from people who hear about it because it's about to close, or who were saving up money to afford it, or who didn't want to join until they knew which stretch goals they were getting, or whatever.

For Dungeon Fantasy the initial surge was maybe a third of the final score. For TFT it will probably be a lot more than that because a lot of our potential buyers are money-rich grognards who shouted, "Shut up and take my money," the moment they heard about it. I'm guessing we'll make close to a quarter of a million, but who knows. Kicktraq refuses even to guess.
