Ok, this Kickstarter was back in 2018. That was during my wife's final illness, so it was not on my radar. $118,687 pledged of $25,000 goal 1,848 backers The updates can only be read by backers, but you can read the comments. Here is a comment from a month ago. Kickstarter commentsFYI this is the Gygax centric version of events where Gygax did it all and Arneson is a minor character at best is my impression. In 2018 they wrote It is now 5 years later and over the next few months I should all be out.

Yeah, I knew it was Gygac-centric but I still want to see it.
If I recall correctly, there were 2 different documentaries covering this subject and they got entangled in court proceedings. In all fairness, if that's the case then I understand at least some of the delays.
I don't blame you for not being focused on this, family first.

History fascinates me and I'm always down for learning more. What I really want to see, The Perilous Dreamer, is a documentary covering not just OD&D but the games of the early years. Give me something focused on the stories of Gygax & Arneson (OD&D), Steve Perrin (the Perrin Conventions, Runequest), David Hargrave (Arduin), Bob Bledshaw (Judges Guild), Ken St. Andre (Tunnels & Trolls), Wilf Backhaus & Ed Simbalist (Chivalry & Sorcery), etc. I think OD&D and the early games inspired by it would be a fascinating watch.

Yes, that would be interesting, but I don't expect those to happen in my lifetime, perhaps in yours.
