    I was paging through kickstarter and came to the conclusion, with shirts and what not.

    If you did smart, targeted marketing.

    You could sell quite a bit of merch.

    Farewell to Fear sounds really interesting, but I still don't know I want to support it. I really like the idea, and obviously want to support inclusiveness and changes to RPG/Fantasy tropes whenever possible--also I love Guestbook RPG, and Kicking Historical Asses is really fun, so Machine Age has a very good track record with me--but I haven't been sold on the system behind it yet.

    yeah greek mythology is immortalized through its influence on pretty much all great western literature

    lovecraftian victorian steampunk is some man-child's idea of something cool

    There's a Canadian Alternative to Kickstarter called Indiegogo, a local start-up business here is trying to get funded. Kinda cool.

    guys

    i got an idea that i'm sort of ripping off from a kickstarter i saw.

    What if we make a belt and suspenders combo, that is like a series of utility belts, but for like every day things. like your keys, wallet, phone, money, pens, maybe stick-it pads, it's like a purse, on your chest.

    A utility belt would be neat.

    But how would it fit through your pant loops?

    A guy who made some freeware interactive fiction I really like (Andrew Plotkin) did a kickstarter for an iPhone text game with a funding goal of $8,000. He raised $31,337, I was happy.

    This is seriously cool. I've been getting into IF and Andrew Plotkin is pretty great. Did he suggest that the game might be released on more platforms since he overshot his goal by so much?
    I think it's still an iOS-only project, although he's said it might come to other platforms eventually.

    Also - the project was funded December 2010? Has it really been that long? I wonder how long until people bring out the torches and pitchforks.

    One of the bummers of kick starter is that some projects are spending way more of the money they got than they anticipated just fulfilling rewards.

    Also I heard indie goo was not great. Because of no refunds? Not sure if it was something else

    I'm not 100% sure about what is or is not an overreaction to a game where you rape teenagers but I don't think that video is it.

    That's why I like the book-kickstarters. It's like, the whole reward/product is the book in the first place.

    Well the art could use a lot of work, that's why they're kickstarting.
    They got a pretty cool ghost costume up for $50 pledges too.

    Oh, in less mockable Kickstarter news, the Grim Dawn kickstarter is about to hit its final 24 hours.

    Grim Dawn, other than having the most generic name for a video game ever, is the spiritual sequel to Titan Quest, from some of the folks who used to work at Iron Lore. Only replace "Ancient Greece" with "Vaguely Lovecraftian Victorian steampunkish-ness".
    oh man, I wish I had cash to donate

    I really enjoyed titan quest, and I while I am not huge fan of steampunk stuff, I would love for a game like titan quest with modern mechanics and gameplay

    Monica is convinced I can use kickstarter to start my food business.

    So I'm going to put together some numbers and a rough outline of a business plan to judge what I need.

    Half because I'm curious, and half to shut her up.

    The Atlanta food truck scene doesn't have any serious feuds. Shit talk David Cross's sister on your kickstarter, and he'll probably give you free publicity.

    According to the news post Penny-Arcade is now doing a Kickstarter, except it doesn't really appear to be for anything in particular.

    It seems to be just another way to ask for donations, especially because some of the rewards appear to be way too pricey. I mean, 75$ for a digital comic, some MP3s, and a certificate?
