Crowdsource Funding Questions

That one was on Kickstarter. We will be using Indiegogo, which as you said, doesn't tend to raise as much.

Anyway, what I was asking is if it is a better idea than what I said earlier about going for much more money and doing a lot more products at launch.

Like I said, not enough information. Impossible to say; only you know your production costs, your distribution plans, your expected customer base, and so on.

Depending on the answers to those and many other things, $5000 could be a vast overkill, or it could be a mere drop in an ocean. How did you arrive at that figure? It seems very low for anything that involves a print run, and pretty high for anything that doesn't!

I was not asking if $5k is a good number. I was only asking for comparison on what i said before and now. You only need what was said then to compare the two things. But it is not too big a deal. I was asking mainly out of mild curiousity.

Sorry, man - there's just no simple answer to the question. I'm inclined to say start small; but that's based on no information at all.

Well, that is what the second idea is. We are starting small with just a single rulebook and a website. The campaign setting stuff will be free on the website to all people that buy the rulebook. We will do any further rulebooks and my campaign setting at a latter date if the initial stuff sells well.
