This is a fantastic idea for a series. If I had the time to tackle Patreon, I'd totally do something similar.

Agreed 100%. There is no real shortcut to success. Even spending tens of thousands of dollars to raise awareness is worthless if you aren't making something that people enjoy. Practice. Practice. Practice.

Time and a lot of hard work. I don't think there's a way to bypass that unless you have a lot of money to invest in social media marketing and you don't mind spending thousands of dollars to "acquire" an audience.

Thank you! I know the team tries very hard to keep projects flowing and to meet our commitments on schedule. We fall behind, and things go wrong, but we try and fix the mistakes when they slip through.

Thank you. Most of that is no longer listed for sale online. I've been asked if I would update/rewrite some of the older content, but I am not sure of the answer at this time. For now, I'm having too much fun creating new material to dig out the past works.

Thank you for taking time to chat with me. I appreciate the support!

Congrats on this one! It looks great, and the support has been phenomenal.

That is fantastic. Thank you.

This looks very fun. Pre-ordered!

It has certainly been a surprise to me. I knew there was interest, but I never guessed there was this much demand for my work. I am very lucky that so many gamers are willing to trust me to write and deliver these.

No. I license stock art. I then handle all of the writing and layout/design.

At the moment, this is a hobby and helps me stay sane. My day job eats a lot of my time, and the creative outlet of my own projects is a nice break from the demands of the office.

Thank you for your support! I hope the campaigns give you some ideas to warp and make your own.

This aligns with my own thinking. Even if I were to create something outside of Kickstarter, I'd likely make plans to offer it as part of a different Kickstarter campaign.

I cannot speak for others, but for me: * Kickstarter is a marketing tool and helps raise awareness of my work. * As a part of the above, the $1 reward is as much about funding as it is promotion. You can follow others on Kickstarter and, when you do, you will receive an email from Kickstarter...

Thank you for the post!!! This was a very nice surprise. At the moment, the project has over 1,200 backers and everyone is getting nine new PDFs as a part of their rewards. Each is 14-pages, but only a dozen of the pages in each PDF is the content. The other two are an introduction/cover (which...

Sure thing. I'm always ready to chat. (And I hope shaped your outlook for the better! :) )

Personally, ramping up my own projects is directly related to my retirement plans. I very much enjoy creating and publishing, so I've been making a little extra time for that around office responsibilities as I start to look to a retirement date. So, even when "retired," I fully expect to keep...

Thanks! I've been slowly refining the approach to those campaigns and have learned a lot in the last year.

Kickstarter can be a powerful tool. So long as you regularly communicate with your backers, and deliver on schedule, you can slowly build an audience. I cannot thank my Kickstarter backers enough for their willingness to support my creative efforts. I wouldn't be able to publish any of my...
