[QUOTE="thirdkingdom, post: 9833914, member: 78442"] The most recent slow-funded project I can think of is Colin le Sueur's [URL='https://byodinsbeardrpg.itch.io/midnight-of-the-century']Midnight of the Century[/URL] (a love song to late 90s murder mysteries in the Pacific Northwest) on itch (he's the guy who wrote We Deal in Lead and Runecairn). He's super responsive and I'm sure would be happy to talk to you about it. Luke Gearing did an interesting form of fundraising on itch for his well-received [URL='https://lukegearing.itch.io/wolves-upon-the-coast-grand-campaign'][B]Wolves Upon the Coast [/B][/URL]hexcrawl; he released it in increments, raising the cost with each release. So, if you got in early you got everything he had written up to that point, plus all the future releases. It just encouraged people to buy it in advance. I know at least one person did a slow-funding campaign on Drivethru, but I'd have to do a dive through the Roundup to find it. EDIT: I think running a KS to pay for editing and art is a perfectly cromulent use of the platform. I'm assuming you've been selling on Drivethru, so you can leverage their reach to promote the product. Reach out to a sales rep and they can set up an email blast to everyone who has purchased one of your titles and has agreed to receiving emails (provided you include the "fulfilled by Drivethru" logo on the KS page.
