Project Update: Funded! 18K and counting!
Stories From the Slip is funded, three times over! Thank you so much for your financial support. The success of this project will help me keep creating strange worlds filled with ecological themes.
Despite this being my fourth crowdfunding campaign, I'm still nervous about hitting the launch button. Stories From the Slip is in many ways an experiment. Big board game publishers like Leder Games and Chip Theory Games have successfully moved away from stretch goals in their funding structure, but could a single-employee TTRPG publisher find the same success? What would folks think of a campaign with a limited number of copies? How would previous backers feel about simultaneous Cloud Empress campaigns? Would my Kickstarter audience show up on Backerkit?
I'm still learning quite a bit, but the current pledge numbers exceeded my expectations, and there's a lot of positive goodwill for the campaign. Thank you!
So, what does a live campaign without stretch goal updates look like? I'm committed (as always) to regular communication with you throughout this campaign and project fulfillment. Updates during the campaign will entail some combination of Stories From the Slip artwork reveals, gameplay explanations, and design diary entries.
Funding this project pads against potential tariff hurdles, keeps the worlds by watt art team paid, and helps compensate me for all the long hours I put into these projects (plus worlds by watt donates more than 1% of all profits to climate-related charities).
We did it, hurray!
Finally, if you have questions about any part of the campaign or the project, please post them in the comments, and I'll get them answered.
