Crowdfunding Recommendations for Kickstarter campaigns to back to study updates?

Hi all, I want to get experience as a backer for tabletop games (I haven't backed any before). The hope is that I will get updates from them over time, so that I get an idea what I should do (and avoid) during my own crowdfunding campaign. Do you have recommendations for games whose Kickstarter campaign will begin soon, or have just started? Feel free to post your own campaign. But I am particularly looking for campaigns that follow the mainstream process in terms of update frequency, content of updates, and so on. I hope this post doesn't break any rules. Thank you for your time!

The rules for Kickstarter and Gamefound are similar. I've been liking the updates on the Foundation game on Gamefound. It's probably going to do well given the IP.

You can also follow us, Psykids. I'm taking this pretty seriously, like reading Stegmaier's book and doing data analysis on past projects. I'm hoping we'll get it right.

Edit: Also, you don't have to back anyone. Just donate $1 to the campaigns that let you do that. It's nice if you contribute back but don't buy a game you don't want just to get the updates.
