[QUOTE="InkwellIdeas, post: 5528252, member: 26988"] I've been having a good experience with [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1764845067/dungeonmorph-dice-dungeon-geomorphs"]my project[/URL] on Kickstarter. And while Kickstarter encourages the special, unique sorts of rewards that you listed I think letting people essentially pre-order/pre-subscribe would result in a higher number of pledges. You could mix them in with your special rewards so I could get a full set of pdfs at $x or get the full set + something special at $x+y. Get physical copies at $z but get that and something special at $z+y. Etc. And all it costs you is 8-10%. (3-5% for Amazon's charging of cards and 5% to Kickstarter.) That's very good considering what drivethrurpgnow will charge or what it costs to put it in stores, although the on-line cut doesn't matter if you're running your own on-line store. :) In any case, you will get some extra buzz about it, you also get some idea of the likely level of success and you get an extra time window to market your product. (Instead of waiting until it is nearly complete.) But you probably know the business better than I do, so if I'm missing something please comment. [/QUOTE]
