Kickstarter.com - etc.

OK, so we're setting this up now. We'll see what happens.

We won't delay anything or even act like anything different is happening until the end of the Kickstarter fundraising period; we'll just continue as normal assuming nothing it happening.

I'll let you know when it's live.

I still think that you're not losing anything by making the product itself (in some version) available through Kickstarter backers. Yes, kickstarter is taking 5%, but that's pretty reasonable when you consider what percentage is taken by drivethrurpgnow and physical stores. Yes, a large percentage of those people who pick those rewards may buy anyway, but why not give them another opportunity and time window to do so?

You could do:
$25 name an NPC
$X get a softcover printed version of all Y volumes in the adventure path.
$25+X name an NPC and get the softcovers
$100 name a statted NPC
$100+X name statted NPC and get the softcovers
etc.

That said, I realize there may be other factors in your case because it could impact your subscription model, maybe you don't ever want to do a printed version, etc.

Oh... or you could do some other bonus things... like a special map (physical or electronic) of the game's world/area only available through Kickstarter. Sure the adventures and sourcebooks may have a similar map, but maybe this is in a different style or is larger or is the only map that combines the whole setting in one place...

Most people get it via subscription right here at EN World. I don't tend to charge myself a percentage! :)

We've got a few ideas at the moment. One of them is an exclusive invitation to a game of the first adventure (for those who will be at Gen Con) and some other stuff.

We should have it live shortly.

Now THAT is a fantastic idea. I will be at my first GenCon ever this year, and I will be happy to pony up for a spot at a table to play the first adventure. Will Ryan Nock ([MENTION=63]RangerWickett[/MENTION]) be the DM? That would be pretty slick - I'd love to meet him in person after running through the play-by-post play test of the early adventures with him.
 






Awesome! :)

[Edit - simulpost! Awesome to Wednesday Boy, not to Kickstarter arguing with twilsemail!]
