![]() I agree with 137ben. There should be listed stretch goals and possible add-ons. I'm a backer because everything I own from Rite has been great and I trust the publisher. You should maybe brag more about previous work and the authors involved. I would recommend copying the campaign formats that Legendary Games, Kobold Press and Frog God have done in the past as they have had very successful kickstarters. ![]()
![]() I own almost everything Rite has published, but I don't own In The Company of Dragons. This is mainly because I do not like the idea of PC dragons. I never used to like NPC statblock compilations, but I was a kickstarter backer for Faces of the Tarnished Souk because i trusted Rite Publishing. Faces of the Tarnished Souk is now one of my favorite RPG supplements ever made. Anyways, lots of internal conflict for this kickstarter. ![]()

Maybe let the other players control the summoned minions actions(so long as they act in good faith), instead of just the dice rolls. ![]()
![]() Happy to help. Two more quick things. You should ask Paizo web staff well in advance to have the KS featured in the store blog. You could also ask Enzeitgeist to hold off on any reviews of your products until the Kickstarter begins in order to maximize the exposure his reviews bring and give him a chance to plug the KS. ![]()
![]() I'm happy to pay $20 for the PDF. Although print options are not important to me, I have seen many complaints about them on various KS message boards. My guess is that you are best off charging 45-50 for the book hardback upfront, but that is just a wild uneducated guess. My advice would be to talk to recent 3PP publishers about how they think printing options impacted their KS. Rite publishing's Faces of the Tarnashed Souk KS had print options similar to what you originally proposed. Legendary Games Mythic Mania had softcover with hard cover as a stretch goal. One last piece of advice would be to get yourself invited to as many gaming podcasts as you can to try to get the word out. ![]()
![]() A couple of things you may want to keep in mind for your kickstarter. Make sure you include the word Pathfinder somewhere in the title. Otherwise folks using the search tool won't find it. I've noticed that projects with lots of smaller incremental stretch goals tend to do better and keep folks involved on a daily basis than ones with far off stretch goals. You may also want to just do a softcover to start and leave the hardcover as a stretch goal in order to make sure this KS is a success. Although its not fair, people are wary of first time KS creators as well as second time creators whose first project failed. You want to make sure you leave the first category soon and don't join the second. ![]()
![]() I am very excited about the upcoming Urban Dressing compilation. I have purchased the previous wilderness and treasure compilations and am very happy with them. Some questions. I noticed on your upcoming releases that there are more urban dressing individual releases for later this year. Will there be an eventual Urban Dressing compilation sequal in the future? I'll admit I am more interested in the compilations than in the individual releases, as they have everything in one convenient place and are a great value money wise. ![]()
![]() Raging Swan Press also offers a really good free adventure called The Sunken Pyramid which you should check out. You can't go wrong with any of the mega-adventures from Frog God Games though. Endzeitgeist also has top ten lists and accompanying reviews from the past few years that are filled with amazing products. This is truly the Golden Age of 3PP. |
