Here's a little more info about the company, the goblins comic guy contracted with. They also did another kickstarter for a card game for Kingdom of Loathing online game at around the same time. https://www.reddit.com/r/kol/comments/2b9xs5/update_for_inte... which was late and underdelivered and apparently the company tanked.

Also, apparently the comic creator doesn't even have the list of kickstarter backers, only the game company did. He can't even directly email people. I'm not sure how he's verifying who kickstarted the game.
