It's looking to easily bust 2 million today.

Woah. $1.81M with 29 days remaining.

It’ll do the usual U-shape Kickstarter big drop off after the first couple of days, then have another boost right at the end. So don’t expect it to keep this pace going for 30 days!

Here's to hoping more Kickstarters take their approach and offer reasonable PDF prices. $20 for all PDFs is about right. One of the reasons I waffled on the Classic Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter was because the PDF tiers were ridiculously overpriced.

At $1.91M USD, it just passed "Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting" to become the third-highest earning TTRPG Kickstarter ever.

They're jumping from $125K to $200K per stretch goal once they unlock Katara @ $2mil.

Hardly surprising.

I wonder if we're witnessing a watershed moment for the PbtA system like how 5e was for D&D. And if this heralds a new generation of GMs and players whose first ttrpg is a PbtA game, and who don't carry the baggage of a trad RPG mindset. And if this subsequently ushers in an renewed interest in PbtA or story games, or perhaps leading to more PbtA games based on popular IPs. It's amazing to think that until now, no one has really utilized the PbtA system for a major IP (Root comes close, and did do pretty well on KS, but this is a whole other level), and that perhaps this was what was needed to catapult PbtA beyond a niche segment of the ttrpg community.

It has now passed "The One Ring 2nd Edition" to be the second-highest pledged TTRPG on Kickstarter. ($2,038,896 at the moment)

The king is Colville's at $2,121,465. This is about $80k short of that...within 48 hours of launch.
