[QUOTE="imagineGod, post: 8309948, member: 32454"] Speaking of demographics, there are people here who are very experienced. here who may offer insights. Which demographics are the best target for Third Party Kickstarters? There are too many Kickstarters I backed that I ended up selling because nobody in my circle seems interested in playing those games. 5th Edition is usually a sure winner on Kickstarter, but not always. [B]Connor Alexander's Coyote and Crow Kickstarter [/B]is the best case study about a first time creator, using an unknown d12 game system, telling rarely told stories of Native American Futurism and able rake in over a million Dollars. On the other hand, we have a very well known company, [B]Green Ronin[/B], who launched a popular romantic fantasy line, first seen in the True20 era of the d20 OGL, followed by a successful AGE system and most recently a 5e conversion, but they struggled to even cross $40,000. [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/greenroninpub/blue-rose-adventurers-guide-5e'][ATTACH type="full" alt="5e_bluse_rose_kickstarter.png"]138492[/ATTACH][/URL] Most recently, yet another 5e project was launched, by an unknown creator, the product being some variant [B]Wizard of Oz RPG,[/B] and already crossed $40,000 in three days (still slow compared to Free League games that fund in hours or minutes). [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doublecritical/adventures-in-oz-5th-edition-setting-and-sourcebooks'][ATTACH type="full"]138493[/ATTACH][/URL] THE CONNUNDRUM Speaking of a funded but 5 years late Kickstarter, that I backed but will never play its unique system now, so am advising the creator to try a popular conversion to either 5e or the Free League d6 for a re-launch. Does anyone have any idea, why 5e is not a sure winner for Third Party Publishers anymore? Are buyers avoiding spending on Third Parties to focus on purchasing more official 5e books from WoTC?
