[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8556771, member: 326"] Hey there ART! :) I know Kickstarter won't pay out until funding is met. I also know they don't have an In Demand option (as with Indiegogo). My concerns are: 1. Quality - we know Drivethru RPG premium print quality is poor-average compared to what another printer could handle. 2. Print Run size - at this juncture I have to anticipate I won't sell more than 250 hardcover books. To make a small profit at a reasonable price I need to print 1250 copies. So if I only have a small print run 250 books lets say, then I probably have to charge $20-25 more than what I would like to - which means I have to go the ultra deluxe quality route. 3. With any crowdfund I have the added fuss/time/costs of setting up the Project Page and Video. [B]Question[/B] - can Kickstarter/Indiegogo fulfill PDF backers? Or do I need another third-party for that? I'm not even starting a crowdfund until I have the book completed (at least at the editing stage). That said, the timetable would have to incorporate the clearance of the funds, printing and shipping. Can you point to examples you thought were good? [/QUOTE]
