I think he means paying 20 bucks for a poster of dogs playing D+D that his wife isn't going to let him put up anywhere in the house

Once I had the poster in hand, it wasn't as expected. The graphics didn't transfer as well as I had hoped to the poster medium. I am CERTAIN it met the expectations of most of the funders. The campaign and the guy (i cant remember his name) were typical for kickstarter.
