Hey friends, an update on Project Dastan:

After much deliberation w/ the team, w/ Moonbeam, & our creative partners/supporters, I have come to an important decision.

We are going to close the campaign on Project Dastan for now.

First and foremost, thank you for all the support and encouragement that you have given to us and to the Project. We would not have gotten this far without you! I'm genuinely glad to have had the opportunity to even begin such an ambitious project, and it was your cheers that pushed me and the team forward to start this!

Second, this is not the end. This being our first ever crowdfunding launch, we learned a lot in a very short period of time. To give you a timeline, the idea for Project Dastan came about in mid May, with the talks for launching a Backerkit Campaign close to the end of it. We put together a viable campaign, talked to vendors, creators, and companies for official support in nearly a 6 week timespan, which is unheard of. Most projects have a ramp up time of at a MINIMUM of 3 months, if not much more. To see what we pulled off in such a short period of time brings me so much hope and joy! 

However, it wasn't enough. Over my weekend at Gen Con, I was able to talk to many individuals who had backed the campaign, or who wanted to back it, and learned a lot from our discussion. There seemed to have been an issue with clarity on what the campaign was exactly about, what we planned to deliver, and what those who pledged actually got out of it in the end. 

So, to avoid causing any mishaps or failing in our goals, we want to take what we learned, especially on where we could do better, sit with crowdfunding professionals, and map a path to putting together a more well oiled campaign in the future. 

I must highlight, this is not the end of Project Dastan. We WILL be coming back again, better than ever. It's not a matter of if, but when.

So, thank you once again for placing your faith in us, and I truly hope we will have you onboard when we properly launch in the future.

Sincerely,
KP and the Project Dastan team.

Hello everyone!

We are now at the home stretch of our campaign, with less than 10 days to go!

I KNOW we can reach our funding goal, but we need your help to make sure we do and, hopefully, rocket past it!

Every dollar we make on top of the base goal will help us get closer to our goal of funding the space as well as funding the Indian TTRPG.

So please, if you are comfortable, share the campaign page with your communities, family, friends, etc. Any visibility you can help bring would mean the world to us!

Let's work together to make this dream come true!

Sincerely,
KP

Hello Everyone!

It's another week down, with us almost hitting the half-way mark of the campaign!

To celebrate:

If you had not had the chance to see on the various socials, we're proud to announce that we have a free PDF on DriveThruRPG of a mini Pathfinder 2e adventure, inspired by Indian culture and history, that you can download right now and run in your games!

It's called Dastan: Inquilab, where "inquilab" means revolution in Urdu, and it's a level 1 adventure that should give you a taste of the type of story we wish to tell during our future TTRPG Actual Play!

You can find it right here:

This module was written by our very own Creative Director Amaan Hasan Khan!

So please check it out, leave a review if you can, and share it with folks!

Also, please share the campaign to folks you know or your communities! Any amount of visibility will help the campaign reach its funding goal and beyond!

WE'RE LIVE EVERYONE!!

I'm so excited that you have joined us on this wonderful new journey!

Project Dastan has always been about telling a story! Your story, my story, all our stories!

So let's see how the story of this crowdfunding campaign goes!

We have so many exciting things planned, and you're helping us make it happen!

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
KP
