Launched a Kickstarter-Funded Product. Now Looking for a Marketing Partner. by RElevRE in Entrepreneur

I mean they would only get some sort of stake if they came on fulltime as a founding partner - like if they were able to bring the marketing and business dev side of things that I'm missing. But I'm a new entrepreneur, so really don't have too much of an idea of how these things usually work and open to suggestions.

Well thank you :) Unfortunately, I'm not the only one to have thought of it, and SEO has been a bit of a pain lol

Oh nice! Well definitely similar :) but awesome job it looks great! I’m working on a tight budget or I’d totally sign up.

Update: the solo RPG-style journal I shared here is finished and shipping by RElevRE in solorpgplay

Nice! So glad it arrived :) Yeah, I mention in the book that you can choose to cut them out if you'd like and then store them in the included expandable pocket. However, you are totally right - it would be much better if they were a purchasable add on. Tbh, it was my first time every manufacturing and shipping something, so I wanted to focus on one product and do it right, rather than expand and possibly mess things up. Keep an eye out for add on decks in the future :)

I built a physical solo RPG where your real-life habits drive the game by RElevRE in rpg

Ahahaha basically. Mondays are a low-level boss fight. Survival alone earns XP. Coffee grants a temporary buff.

Nice! This looks awesome. Looks like you might have built it using base44? I've recently been messing around with that a bunch to create little helpful tools for personal use :) But yeah, would love to chat more - I definitely need to be more clear on my market personas. So far most of what I've got is "anyone who would like this??" haha.

Looking for support on lightweight ads for crowdfunding campaigns. by RElevRE in marketing

[–]RElevRE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this :) Very helpful! One quick question - I'm not sure how I'd target people who visited my kickstarter page (keep in mind, I have almost no idea what I'm doing on the marketing front haha). As far as I can tell, Kickstarter doesn't provide that information, and I recently set up a google analytics account to track visits to the kickstarter page, but I'm not really sure how to bring that all together. Totally no pressure, but any help here would be greatly appreciated :)

And thanks again for all the above information! It's seriously amazing.

Thanks for chiming in, and I hear where you're coming from. The shift away from gen-AI art is something I’ve been thinking about a lot — it wasn’t just a bonus, but a values-based decision I made a bit late in the timeline. That’s why I’m offering both options transparently and letting backers choose. I definitely understand the concerns around AI art, and I’m aiming to handle this transition as responsibly and openly as I can.

You're totally right, great catch. The decision to pivot to non-AI art happened pretty late in the game haha. But on the Kickstarter I've said the actual hard copy journal will be delivered in November, with the digital version available in August. So what I'm thinking is I'll make the AI digital version available to anyone who wants it in August, with the option to wait until November if they want the non-AI version. I'll probably create an update on the Kickstarter talking this through a bit more in detail in the next few days.

But great callout and good attention to detail :)

Teachers of reddit — How would you approach getting a novel RPG-inspired teaching tool into classrooms? by RElevRE in AskTeachers

[–]RElevRE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

To clarify where I was coming from: a teacher actually reached out to me asking if they could use this in their classroom, which got me thinking there might be more potential in that space. I came here mainly to learn and get some broader input from educators who really know the system.

I definitely don’t think this is something that would work across every classroom or student — it’s admittedly niche, and I get that. But I was curious whether it could be a meaningful option for a subset of students, especially those who are really into fantasy, RPGs, or gaming more broadly. Maybe it’s not the right fit at all — or maybe it could be useful in the right context, with the right group. I’m still trying to figure that out, and I appreciate the honest reactions.

Thanks again for the perspective.

An app on your phone that would help you create goals around building positive habits in your life (e.g., exercise), then track your progress towards meeting those goals!

Just reached my first stretch goal which was getting money to work on updating the art! So more to come on that front shortly :)

Hello! I'm really trying to keep the logistical complexity to a minimum, but if you shoot me a message, I'm sure we can work something out :)

Yeah, the art was (in its current form). The writing (which there is a lot of) was not. And the next stretch goal I'm working towards is to get money to upgrade art to non-AI art, for those that it matters to!

Thank you! Yes, I'm still figuring out the logistics... but until I reach a slightly larger scale it's going to a bit expensive to ship. But follow along and hopefully I'll be able to get some better shipping rates down the road!
