I will check this out when not at work... I think using kickstarter to launch small indy boardgames is a fantastic idea! Usually with a certain pledge level netting the person one of the first copies of the game

.
$250 remaining with that much time should be pretty easy to hit, too, I've seen some that are much higher.
Edit: Clicked the link, so it's not a board game, but a book for use with miniatures
rpg-style, got it...
