The purpose of Kickstart This! is to alert our readers to Kickstarter campaigns entering their final week. These are the pick of the Kickstarter litter in our opinion, and if we could, we’d be personally backing every last one of these.

So take a look at these campaigns if they haven’t yet crossed your radar!

*Kickstart This! will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of 2020. The Kickstarter-related content represented here (recommendations of current campaigns) has already been incorporated into the Twice-Monthly Update Videos. Please check out my Youtube channel, or continue to enjoy those videos as they’re posted here at this site.

In Pangea, play as the Synapsids, Sauropsida, Amphibians, or Invertebrates (with some very cool, KS-exclusive, animal fossil miniatures) as they prepare for the coming cataclysm by evolving and locating ecological niches as far from the center of the catastrophe as possible.
