Some, like this one have a solid idea, but the initial stretch goals and rewards were needlessly complicated. I'm glad Paul simplified it - it can only help this project get funded and hopefully hit a few stretch goals.<br><br>There are others that aim too high, or don't know exactly what they want to accomplish, don't know how to play the carrot game (stretch rewards).Erik Tenkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-35119121377250980632012-10-04T17:10:18.132-04:002012-10-04T17:10:18.132-04:00Bret: Feel free to send me any other feedback you ...Bret: Feel free to send me any other feedback you have on the funding ad.

I actually wrote out a detailed post saying very similar stuff to what you said, but deleted it because I think some folks over there had been feeling like I was dismissive/combative lately (I think I was a bit terse with textual criticism). Glad to see someone else agreed with me. Also glad to see the project wrinkles got ironed out.Brethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04106274632550141051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-91415926006377323692012-10-04T14:19:49.236-04:002012-10-04T14:19:49.236-04:00Guys, Paul here -- your feedback was very good, Te...Guys, <br><br>Paul here -- your feedback was very good, Tenkar. I went ahead and simplified the contribution process. I understand indiegogo is more difficult, but anyone can just add $10 per module if we meet the stretch goals to get that module. Hopefully that's a little more sane approach that I took before. <br><br>Thanks again for your feedback.Paul Wolfehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15911441450012146207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-20720156065331449732012-10-04T11:39:56.781-04:002012-10-04T11:39:56.781-04:00@RC - I've become a fan of your stuff, and i s...@RC - I've become a fan of your stuff, and i supported ADBB - truly looking forward to it.<br><br>I really like the ideas behind Squid Sorcerer, but the way the pledge levels and stretch goals are set up are needlessly complicated and discourage folks from pledging at the higher levels, which is something you don't want to do.<br><br>Best of luck with itErik Tenkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-43554142089644560072012-10-04T11:13:17.967-04:002012-10-04T11:13:17.967-04:00Eric,First off, thanks for the kind words about th...Eric,<br><br>First off, thanks for the kind words about the Purple Duck modules. I am hoping that you will have a chance to review "Angels, Daemons & Beings Between" when it comes out, as well as "Squid Sorcerer".<br><br>I've passed a link to Paul, who is the organizer of the project, so that he can take a look at your comments.<br><br>Needless to say, I would like this project to go forward. I'm a lot more on the "write up cool ideas" side than the "how do you set up the funding campaign?" side. <br><br>Even if no changes are made, be sure that your comments are appreciated and will receive real consideration.<br><br>ravencrowkinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09315630554847698555noreply@blogger.com
