Call for feedback on the Kickstarter.

I am almost ready to send the Kickstarter in for review (I still have to do a video). I doubt there’s going to be any problems, but that’s when you check harder, right? In the spirit of that: if you want to take a look at said Kickstarter and give me some feedback, feel free to let me know in comments and I’ll email you a link.

Also: if you want to be a beta reader for the stories, again, let me know in comments.

Doing the Kickstarter paperwork.

Yay! It’ll take me a couple of days to finish it, though. Aside from everything else, I have to film a video, and that’s always fun. I’m tentatively trying to have the Kickstarter up and running by the end of the month. Once I have an idea of my funding situation, I can start with the beta reading and whatnot. So… keep watching the skies!

In the meantime… buy my books?

Crunching Kickstarter numbers: BANSHEE BEACH, or TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2?

It’s not the easiest answer. The advantages for doing BANSHEE BEACH: it’s a novel. I got more backers for my novel Kickstarters than for the others. There may be more of a market, downstream. Disadvantages: the novel is not finished*, and I need a much larger goal than usual.

Advantages for TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION 2: the stories are written. I can advertise BANSHEE BEACH with it by taking the self-contained story in that book and putting it in the collection. I don’t need cover art (I already have it, for another project) or a map. It’s cheaper to finance. The goal is smaller. Disadvantages: doing that pushes BANSHEE BEACH to 2025, probably.

It’s a balancing act, really. Thoughts?

*The goal is to get the manuscript much closer to ready by the end of the year, and possibly in draft form by the end of January.

The Claudia Christian’s Musketeers vs. Cthulhu RPG Kickstarter.

Note the name: Claudia Christian’s Musketeers vs. Cthulhu RPG. When it comes to marketing, Nightfall Games knows what they’re about. I am not so much part of the target demographic as I am contentedly living in its bullseye. Oh, and I asked, so that you don’t have to: it’s ethically sourced. They’re printing it in either England, or Lithuania.

PS: The comic book series that the Kickstarter is based off of is apparently upcoming. I have no more information about it, but would love to hear some.

Once again I am calling upon people to get to the point in their Kickstarter videos.

If it takes me more than thirty seconds to figure out what the hell who you are and what your Kickstarter is about, you’ve failed to communicate. I know, I know: when it comes to TTRPGs, it doesn’t matter because those always fund* anyway. But you should still quickly get to the point. It’s good for you!

Moe Lane

PS: No, I’m not saying what the project was, because I already forgot its name, didn’t save the page, and don’t feel like looking it up. Take that as a testament to how bad the video was.

*This is actually not quite true.

New Greg Stolze Kickstarter drops on (I think) Monday.

It’s called I DREAM OF INSOMNIA, and is a “collection of Greg Stolze’s recent horror, crime and science fiction short stories.” I’ve like Greg’s stuff ever since UNKNOWN ARMIES, which at this rate is a game I might have time to finally get to play in the afterlife. Such is life, and check out the Kickstarter when it officially drops.
