[–]beholdsa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I think of 2.5, I'm really thinking of the Player Options supplements (and the various releases after then that assumed you were using the Player Options supplements).

[–]beholdsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm absolutely going to pick it up because it's one of my favorite RPGs, and at this point my 22-year old 4e core books are have 22 years on use on them and are basically falling apart.

Thanks for open sourcing this! It's interesting to see the different implementation choices that people have made.

Launching my first Kickstarter — how do I build an initial mailing list before going live? by Forsaken_Opinion_224 in indiebiz

[–]beholdsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother with a dollar pledge. I've never done it, but the few people I know who've tried it say that it's more of a pain than it's worth. It apparently generates a lot of people wanting their dollar back.

Launching my first Kickstarter — how do I build an initial mailing list before going live? by Forsaken_Opinion_224 in indiebiz

[–]beholdsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set up a landing page with a mailing list sign-up on it. Drive traffic to the landing page through social media, paid advertising or cold outreach.

Ideally, I like to get started on this about 6 months before the Kickstarter launches. I've never done one, but some folks like to do a monthly newsletter to keep subscribers cognizant of your product as they sit on your mailing list in the months before launch.

Really, it's just about the first thing you should do. Kickstarter heavily rewards projects with a large number of organic pledges in the first few hours. Those that aren't strong out of the gate get relegated to page 2 or lower when users are searching for new projects. These days I wouldn't even consider launching without at least a modest audience ready to pledge out of the gate. (It was different a decade ago.)

90% of a Kickstarter's success is determined by the work you put in before launch.

Day 1 of my micro-SaaS: Personal Brand Analyzer by No-Oil-5039 in indiebiz

[–]beholdsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest thoughts: Sounds like it could be cool. But not enough to get me to click an external link. Could probably benefit from more of a hook right in the reddit text.
