[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 7718456, member: 53082"] Some hopefully constructive comments on that Triten KS: -"First created, 1 backed" - and the 1 backed was done in the last couple of weeks. This is an immediate red flag. Everybody's got to start somewhere but this indicates zero KS experience and those have a much higher fail rate than those with some experience. Especially for someone describing themselves as an "avid gamer all his life" - you really haven't come across any compelling game Kickstarters in the past 5 years? - There are about zero details on the actual game mechanics, which is what you're selling here. No character sheet outside of a few seconds partial view in the intro video. No description of how combat or magic works or what defines a character. You don't want to give the game away for free but you can't keep everything a secret if you really want to get some attention and some discussions going. Right now it's basically "trust us - it's good" except that I don't know you and there's no shortage of people claiming "awesome new game" on the internet. Proposing NDAs for playtesters for a game you're planning to release in November seems pretty tight too. If the game's already done how about releasing a no-art test version to backers at a certain level right away? - I was going to note that I think $20 for a PDF of a new system from new people is high but $40 for a PDF + book is not bad so let's call it a wash. The good news is you're funded so you've gotten enough attention to get that far. It caught my eye so I thought I would share some of thoughts on the KS part after reading through it. [/QUOTE]
