Indiegogo or Kickstarter for non-US publishers?

[Gnarl45]

Hi guys,


I was wondering if any of you living outside the US ever tried a crowdfunding campaign? What platform would you recommend using?

Most people fund their RPG projects with Kickstarter so that was my first choice. Being French, I can’t set my goals or pledges in US dollars which is a bit annoying considering most backers live in the US. Apparently the price is also displayed in US dollars for US backers so it might not be as bad as I think it is.

Indiegogo allows you to collect your funds in US dollars as a foreigner but I’m worried using a platform people aren’t familiar with will be detrimental to the campaign. And what would you put in an advertising banner? “Live on Indiegogo”? I’ll be honest, until six months ago, I didn’t even know what Indiegogo was.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Some people won't use Indiegogo and some won't use a display currency other than their own. Both are a a very small minority, and there's nothing you can do about it.

I'd go with the Kickstarter displayed in Euros. Showing £ doesn't hurt Modiphius any.

This is such a relief. Thanks Morrus!
