Kulten On Kickstarter?

[Uncle Mike]

As we move forward with Kulten I am considering a Kickstarter campaign. I am waffling on the idea as I have some apprehensions of going this route. Figured I might ask around here and see what you guys think. All thoughts and comments appreciated.

Best Regards,
Uncle Mike

It can be a great way to get larger exposure for your game. Just take a look at the recent Zombicide and Sedition Wars ks campaigns; they are great examples of well planned campaigns that far outstretched initial expectations. I would support Kulten on kick starter, but will support it whichever route you chose.

As an aside, if you're coming down to Trilogy this week I'd love to play another game with the new Kulten rules. I'm sure your ghouls would like some payback.

Sure why not give it a go? If it fails you carry on with your previous plans. I will surely back you.

Another backer here if you choose this route

me too, have backed a few kickstarters already, it's quite a painless process from the customer end,

I would invest, just make sure to give enough of a window to allow me to have some money to toss your way after bills...

The pain in the arse looks like the "rewards" you have to set, but it would help offset some costs of printing....so there is some evil with the good...

Any specific reservations?

Just remember that individuals without an U.S. Amazon account can't pledge, so don't judge market interests solely on the funding you get through KS

not true. i'm in the UK, don't have a US amazon account and have succesfully backed 5 KS projects so far.

Indeed, I read something about UK citizens being able to do this as well, but I didn't realize it was possible yet. Even better, but still not enough!

Some of these issues may be moot, as if we do elect to go this route, it may well be with a service other than Kickstarter, seeing as the project owner has to be a US citizen and resident.

Cherno - the US citizen/resident requirement and the upcoming UK operation are about who can raise money via Kickstarter, not about who can subscribe.

[Mason]

It seems like a sensible option to me.

I agree with Relic.
If it does not work, you can always go back toyour original idea.

I think the key thing will be working out the rewards.
If they are attractive enough to non-SA players, and have more of a universal appeal, you may be more sucessful.
Saying that, you cannot really go wrong with Cultists....

Thanks for the clarification. So I guess I'll rephrase my original statement to "Not everyone that would like to pledge can do so"

Kickstarter only allows the use of a credit card as payment options for backers.

 I don't use my CC online anymore after having $10G stolen from my account this way, so I wont back kickstarter projects for that reason (I am looking at getting a pre paid card with limited funds on it though).

 I have backed other projects by similar schemes that accept paypal though.  Find one that accepts pay pal and I would be happy to back to project.

indiegogo lets you pay by paypal, Tor Gaming used it for their recent Nuem funder with quite a bit of success
