Yeah back when this was Eric Noah's 3E site.

I love the fact that a dude (me) who once had like 20,000 posts ON THIS FORUM (before they wiped the database) and several (mostly positive) reviews of his 3E products, also on this site is now obscure. Whereas I'm like...who are all you people? :D

Thanks! I definitely agree that what folks are seeing is the result of the YouTube fan base. It has almost nothing to do with the streaming ecology, it has to do with building 170,000 followers over two years making videos telling folks they can be DMs. Instead of talking about streaming, folks...

If our stream fails to attract an audience, it won't be because we focused on story over combat, it'll be because it's basically the same game everyone else is playing. We're not professionally charming people, we're game developers. :D

Something I've learned is that each type of video is like a different product. Folks who like Running the Game videos aren't necessarily interested in the Campaign Diaries and neither of those people are necessarily interested in the live game. But there are lots of folks interested in each of...

I think the fact that this thread and posts like this cast the issue in terms of streaming shows how little people know about what's going on, and how difficult it would be for folks to replicate this. Overwhelmingly the success of this kickstarter is the success of my YouTube channel, not...

Yeah we are definitely not your cup of tea. If you have no interest in the product, only chasing after more stretch goals, there are WAY better kickstarters. We are literally just trying to make a book, make some minis, and rent a studio and we can do that now.

We are EU Friendly. Our fulfillment company has cleared that up. We have updated the logo to reflect this and make explicit what it means. Import duties are included in the price. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/255133215/strongholds-and-streaming/

Bro your product could grab all the folks who are unhappy with OUR product and those people need strongholds too!

I think Zedturtle is right, I think folks underestimate how effective our outreach program was. We sent out over 8,000 emails and the launch video got like 40,000 views (which is normal) in the first day. And those emails went to folks who explicitly told us they wanted to know when the KS went...

Kickstarters let you wait until the end of the KS campaign to tell you the shipping but we felt like that was crazy. Folks need to know how much shipping is going to be when they pledge.

Well we made them seperate! We make nothing on shipping.

By the way we're looking into the "I get charged another $20 by my government" thing. I'll be back when we have an answer.

You are not the only one. It comes up every time I've seen anyone talk about this kind of product over the last 20 years. There's definitely a fantasy of "I want to BUILD my stronghold, gimme some graph paper!" Hell that's what I did in 1986 when I built my Lyan Paladin's stronghold!

There was a time when I had like, I dunno, 10,000? 30,000? posts ON THIS FORUM! But then they wiped the database.
