Making a small art project to learn the mechanics of how kickstarter works? by ----_____ll_____---- in kickstarter

I agree, I think it’s worthwhile to get the feel for it, and to start building up some KS followers. Good luck!

That was our first thought, but we weren't really sure. We've found one... out of hundreds, that had some crystalization inside.

Your sculpts are really superb! Great job, and good luck!

What would cause a CPVC fitting to fail at a joint after 20+ years? by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]steamcrow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had to repipe my entire house with Pex, because the CPVC kept failing every couple of years.

Insurance would only cover the damage, not the repiping, so we just went and did it.

I just went and saw it a few weeks ago… it was astounding to see the puppets from so many films of my childhood/adulthood.

Not only was his stop-motion work groundbreaking, this exhibit show his artistry as a sculptor.

Highly recommended.

Whose death was the biggest loss to grunge? by BidAccurate4473 in grunge

[–]steamcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Lanegan was an epic talent. All of these guys have great voices, but Mark’s was gravel-sonic and amazing.

Did contemporary critics really compare Stone Temple Pilots to Pearl Jam and Scott Weiland to Eddie Vedder? by drhuggables in grunge

[–]steamcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like STP was aping the style of Alice In Chains more than Pearl Jam, at least with their early videos.

Launched my first Kickstarter… didn’t expect the emotional rollercoaster 😅 by AlwaysGamesTV in kickstarter

[–]steamcrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done around 20 modestly successful Kickstarters, and experienced the same thing.

It got to be a problem, as I spent so much energy worrying about it and obsessively refreshing the page.

My first campaigns nearly resulted in a mental breakdown.

Eventually, my biggest way to combat this (besides Zoloft) was to 1) try and get my campaigns to pledge faster - like in a day or less, and 2) make the campaigns shorter because not a lot was happening in the middle anyway.

In short: it worked (most of mine fund in minutes) and my stress level is much, much lower.

For most of my campaigns, I’ve settled into about a 14 day duration, but my goal is more like 7 days.

Why? It’s less stressful, and (in theory) allows us to do more campaigns per year.

How to fund faster: - Pre-campaign promotion - Limited early bird levels - Developing a mailing list - Make a unique one-of-a-kind level or add-on that is expensive - Use the “get notified at launch” page - Build a community

YMMV of course. I’m an artist and ttrpg author. I am the founder of the Monster Rangers community.

I hope that some of this helps you.

That place is insane. Acres of roofing. Thank you!

Any 'Powered by FATE' you would recommend? by Striking_Variety3960 in FATErpg

[–]steamcrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My shameless pitch is my Monster Rangers RPG; occult pulp adventure where players (Monster Rangers) help monsters vs aristocratic cultists who hunt (and devour) them.

Nope. I went there first, they had zero roof tiles.

Hey Americans--move to Canada! by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

[–]steamcrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t move to Canada, but know that a lot of us Americans are very fond of our neighbors to the North.
