The Oatmeal is helping to save Tesla's lab and turn it into a museum
Almost 500k raised, with 44 days to go. Holy shit, they might actually do it.
That kind of makes the stuff I'm going to talk about seem not as cool by comparison, but OH WELL
COMICSreMIND is a fantastic-looking all ages comic; this Kickstarter campaign is to raise funds to print Vol 2 in hardcover, but you can also get a second printing of Vol 1(or a first printing, if you're insane and want to shell out the money for it).
Then there's
Golem, a bloody revenge tale about a mother and son mercenary team, with a touch of Hebrew lore thrown in for good measure.
And finally, we have
Leaving Megalopolis, a new comic from Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore. I loved Secret Six, so this one was pretty much a lock for me.

Ukiyo-e Heroes has finally launched it's Kickstarter campaign! You can get one of his designs as a 12" x 17" giclee print for $40, or if you really have $135 to throw away, you can get the same print as an authentic hand-made Japanese wood-block print.
GAMESRemember Cheapass Games? Well, they're attempting to make a comeback, and the first game on the docket is

BOOKSHave you ever heard of a pawpaw? Neither had I, aside from that song we all probably sang in grade school. Turns out, they're a fruit that's native to North America, but for some reason they've been all but forgotten. But that's okay, this guy is writing
a book about them! He's promised to do whatever he can to put an actual pawpaw in the hands of every one of his backers who've never had one, which I'd assume is just about every one of his backers.
¡SCIENCE!These guys are building a
rideable, 6-legged giant robot. To be honest, I don't know much more about it, because as soon as I saw the phrase, "rideable, 6-legged giant robot", I just started throwing money at my computer screen.
