[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8211984, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/the-stormlight-archive-rpg'][B]Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG[/B][/URL] leads the pack in an exclusive club -- crowdfunders for tabletop roleplaying game products which have broken the $1M barrier! It is currently the most successful TTRPG crowdfunder in history with a funding total of over $10M, and over 30,000 backers (and also the third biggest crowdfunded of any kind!) [I][Update--Kickstarter integrated 'late pledges' in May 2024. The totals on this table are the totals at the time the campaign officially ended and do not include late pledges or additional pledges from pledge managers.][/I] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-10-24 at 11.18.17 AM.png"]383720[/ATTACH][/CENTER] This list comprises crowdfunders specifically for tabletop roleplaying games or supplements which have exceeded $1M. It does not include crowdfunders which are primarily for miniatures, software, dice, or other accessories. [LIST] [*]The first TTRPG crowdfunder to break $1M was [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwickpresents/7th-sea-second-edition']7th Sea: Second Edition[/URL] (2016) by [B]John Wick[/B].

[*]The first to break $9M was [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magpiegames/avatar-legends-the-roleplaying-game/description']Avatar Legends[/URL] (2021) from [B]Magpie Games[/B].

[*]Since then 4 more crowdfunders have broken $1M on the first day: [URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/cephalofair/gloomhaven']Gloomhaven Grand Festival[/URL] (2023), [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendsofavantris/the-crooked-moon-folk-horror-in-5e']The Crooked Moon: Folk Horror in 5E by Legends of Aavantris[/URL] (2023), [URL='https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/mcdm-productions/mcdm-rpg']The MCDM RPG[/URL] (2024), and [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/the-stormlight-archive-rpg']Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG[/URL] (2024). [*]The highest ever first-day total was [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/the-stormlight-archive-rpg']Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG[/URL] (2024) from [B]Brotherwise Games[/B], with a first-day total of $4,380,024. [*]The first to break $1M without physical merch addons (minis, dice, shirts, pins, etc.) is [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/connoralexander/coyote-and-crow']Coyote & Crow the Roleplaying Game[/URL] (2021) from [B]Connor Alexander[/B]. The only other campaign to do this so far is [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowdarkrpg/shadowdark-rpg-old-school-gaming-modernized']Shadowdark[/URL] (2023). [*]The [B]average pledge level[/B] for a million-dollar campaign is about $100. This is usually reached by including add-ons and merchandizing. The lowest average pledge level is $66 ([I]Coyote & Crow [/I]with just the game itself) and the highest is $294 ([I]Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere RPG[/I]). [*][B]Gloomhaven Grand Festival[/B] included an RPG, but was also a Kickstarter for a boardgame and 600+ miniatures.

[SIZE=3]***First day figures represent first calendar day, not first 24 hours, and are taken from Kicktraq's daily funding stats for Kickstarter or Backer Tracker for Backerkit.[/SIZE] [/RIGHT] Some unusual patterns can be seen above. Most crowdfunders follow the traditional 'U' shaped curved, with a large portion of the funding taking place in the first few and last few days of the campaign, and comparatively slower progress in the middle.

It's not clear what caused that, but an aggressive final marketing push is a good candidate--they have multiple marketing entries in their collaborators list.[/LEFT] [/LIST] A crowdfunder which does well will tend to mean later campaigns also do well, as those backers are notified when new crowdfunders by the same creator are launched.
