The Artifact Kickstarter

[Onix]

Why does a free RPG need a Kickstarter? To pay for professional artwork, to get the word out and to build a fan base.

Please let your friends know about the project! It will help out immeasurably.

Bonus! If you ever wondered what I looked like, the mystery will be gone when you watch the video.

WOO YAY! Will be chucking some cash at it when I get home. Hurray for exchange rates!

Awesome and thank you! I'm trying to determine how early to get backers in on early releases. What do you think? As soon as possible? Or is there any reason to wait?

Here's a with an explanation of what's in there and what's not.

Pure Awesome.

I've wanted to try Kickstarter so I can afford an artist myself. Of course, I feel that I need to actually finish my writing half of the project first, which at this rate should be three books at the least. So its going to be a while for me - not including that I don't know any artists.

This is definitely going to be a template for me, and perhaps all the writers on this forum. Thank you for taking this bold step and providing a template for the rest of us. once I get call back from the temp agency, I'll try to send some money your way.

I hope it is a successful template! Thanks CA. I did as much research as I could to set things up and delayed this by quite a while trying to do it right. When this is over I'll either be able to tell you what went right and what went wrong.

Things I know right now is my movie is too long, most are only a minute and a half. I don't know if that's really a bad thing or not. I'll find out I guess. I'm not yet on course to a successful kickstarter this first day was too slow as far as backers but it just went up and it takes time for word to get out and build momentum so that's not a reason to panic yet. Some other people that have had successful projects have commented that a lot of backers jump on when they get a paycheck, and usually on a paycheck in the second half of the month. I timed my launch to cover that so hopefully it's a tactic that works.

If anyone's interested, I can share my research notes which consist of clips from websites although I don't seem to have the original links intact.

Hi all, we had a good running start but we're starting to fall behind. We need your help if you haven't already pledged!

The text of the rules is now in Beta and is available to all backers. Any amount is welcome $1, $5, $10 anything you can spare is welcome!

I've pledged money to The Artifact Kickstarter, and I can only encourage others to contribute, too. It'd be a shame if this project didn't get funded!
