  1. I am taking some glee in the fact that SUD has recieved almost double the amount of pledges that Venger Satanis's latest Kickstarter venture has.

    On the other hand, I am also dismayed that Venger Satanis's stuff is recieving any pledges, so there's that. :P

  2. trending toward $20,491 but this thing is notoriously in accurate on opening day http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/804120043/slumbering-ursine-dunes/

  3. I am seeing it pop up in some not where i expected feeds, are you starting to get questions yet on the ask a queestion link

  4. What's interesting is that most people backing right now are NOT players and closest friends (though obviously there are some being very generous). Which is very, very good given the long term arc of the month.

  5. and i wonder if you got your first troll named johnny

  6. I backed for a POD level voucher. :) Is that weird?

  7. Hey even Danna pledged. (I said why?). Any who we are at 80 percent.

  8. I wanted to see updates and get a hard copy.

  9. We will likely fund before mid-morning tomorrow and then be in the stretch zone for 28 days. Man.

  10. One interesting factoid Mike Davison, of people who came to the KS from your blog six of them pledged for $112.

  11. oh, wheres most of the traffic coming from?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I have to say, I expected as much. I said nothing, so as not to jinx it.

    ReplyDelete
  13. My expectations swung in every direction, depending on time and mood. Kinda still do.

  14. We have been sitting at 96 percent all morning. It would be funny if it wasn't so excruciating. Is anybody active on Big Purple?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Eh, just got reshared again. I think we're alright. The thing we're waiting on is Tenkar, is he's gonna weigh in. Though of course forum talk wouldn't hurt.

    Unfortunately I am not active anywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I just posted on Dragonsfoot, Enworld and the North Texas RPG Con group. Tenkar said he'd have it up last night.

    ReplyDelete
  17. That would be great. I don't have an account and think it would look bad to pop in with a pimping on my first post. How's your eye?

    ReplyDelete
  18. or someone to go over to Reddit and says its too bear and shark centric and disenfrachises murder hobos and space elfs or that one of the creators was secretly a high level spy for canada, but ya know those things just kinda happen

  19. Chris Kutalik Eye's not great, but much improved from this morning! I can manage to post things. 

    Posting on RPGnet: there is a forum where companies can post their new promo areas, and I think that's where Kickstarter news goes also, so that's the first place to head. Unfortunately that means that not too many people are going to see it there. I can also stick a reference to the KS into my signature (and then stay active for a while, making sure that people see it). 

    I seem to recall that there was also some initiative for gaming kickstarters to not get lost in the promo forum, so I will also look into that. Do we have a standard blurb that you'd like me to use?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Just noticed that Venger will for a $15 add on his KS give you lifetime advice by email on how to run his modules at the table. My Lord.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anyone can do K&K or ODD74? I have an account at the latter but not enough posts to advertise without being crass I fear.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Humza K this is what I used for DF:
    Just a quick announcement about the Slumbering Ursine Dunes Kickstarter. The Dunes is a 50-page Slavic-mythic inspired wilderness sandbox adventure for Labyrinth Lord or B/X. 

    I don't want to oversell it but I think it has a number of features that will make it interesting:
    A 21-site pointcrawl of the otherwordly Slumbering Ursine Dunes region. Beyond the big ticket adventure sites you will find along the way include a Polevik-haunted rye field, a Zardoz head-living hermit, bearling pilgrimage site and other assorted madness. 

    Two separate “dungeon” sites, the bio-mechanical, lost-in-time Golden Barge and the faction-contested Glittering Tower, with enough detail and portability to be slotted into an existing campaign (as can many of the adventure nodes).

    A subsystem for modeling the mythic weirdness of the Dunes in the Chaos Index, a dynamic events systems. Actions of the players in the sandbox will escalate or de-escalate the levels of events from blood-rain thunderstorms to an aerial invasion of magictech bubble cars.

    Unique, “unlockable” player classes, spells and magic items compatible with Labyrinth Lord or really any other oldish D&D game. 15 new and unique monsters, many drawn from Slavic mythology (with a twist or three, naturally).

  23. Phew. Narrowly avoided being mentioned in the same sentence as Venger Satanis. Pretty sure that's how you start a Wizard War.

    Chris not so lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I feel better about our project when I read his. He's charging virtually the same amount of money for a module 40% the length of ours.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Yikes. Well if you end up with a Cthulhu curse because of that just let us know. I know a few exorcists who might could take care of that (both traditional and christian-syncretist, if you're squeamish).

    ReplyDelete
  26. Fortunately I am a dialectical materialist.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Chris Kutalik where did you post on DF? I can't find it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. In the Classified section. If you have an account respond so we get bumped.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I have an odd74 acct, but other than PbP I have about 3 posts. I think they are all asking for links to illicit pdfs. My criminal lifestyle has caught up with me.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Alright. Now hold that enthusiasm for 28 days.

    ReplyDelete
  31. So I will have to actually work now. Jeez, didn't plan for that. ;) JK knew it would fund.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Put a small advert on blog sidebar, which I suggest Robert Parker & Chris Kutalik also do, that even those not checking the newest updates & usual sources might see.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Though not having a cover mock-up does create a small issue as far as expressing all the necessary information succinctly.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Humza K hey we got a Full Brad pledge from Big Purple. You rock.

    Also in more important news Ba Chim is assumed to have sipped from the Drinking Horn and restored.

    ReplyDelete
  35. James Aulds the North Texas post probably put in around $300 worth of pledges. You also rock for the suggestion.
