I've made more editing and hope you will have another look and tell me if it's an improvement.

If they aren't in the title, the KS search doesn't find them. Branding is a lovely marketing idea but key words are essential for finding things.<br /><br />MCC, DCC and Cthulhu KS's put the game system right in the title. They do a good job of ensuring that people can find them.<br /><br />FGG KS titles on the other hand are great examples of how not to do it (IMNSHO). They don't identify PF or 5e or RPG or S&W so finding the FGG stuff on KS isn't easy. They brand them nicely with Lost Lands but that will never get found by anyone that isn't already in the know.<br /><br />The body of Kris' KS though could use some editing to really nail what you get, what are the add-ons and what are the stretch goals. A simple chart maybe. I didn't back because I couldn't figure out what I would get within 5 minutes. It didn't hook me.AEIOUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614111224534919962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-12307377345004274892017-02-25T23:39:14.245-05:002017-02-25T23:39:14.245-05:00Hi, that's why I put problematic in air-quotes...Hi, that's why I put problematic in air-quotes. If you put certain terms in the header it picks these up when you search for them - that was my main concern - but I've modified the heading and blurb, and I'll have another go at the content of the page :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836273463604568227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-85464652639149078262017-02-25T22:14:19.714-05:002017-02-25T22:14:19.714-05:00I don't think he was calling it out as a probl...I don't think he was calling it out as a problematic Kickstarter, Kris. I think this was more of a "Hey, this is there but the presentation is a bit frenetic and overwhelming." When he calls a problem Kickstarter out it isn't gentle. I would take this more as constructive (and very direct) criticism. <br /><br />I backed it on Michael's recommendation and after your post on the Fantasy Grounds boards. I'm looking forward to the end result but I was a bit confused when I read your update this morning. It might be worth considering that the backer levels and information on the campaign page could be a bit more succinct and direct. That would be my feedback as a backer.<br /><br />PatrickPatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03103537500188873698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-40673773990618335792017-02-25T21:09:31.057-05:002017-02-25T21:09:31.057-05:00That said, I'm going to take this onboard and ...That said, I'm going to take this onboard and see what I can do to improve the campaign, and thanks for the feedback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836273463604568227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-74683233027596481562017-02-25T21:02:08.260-05:002017-02-25T21:02:08.260-05:00I appreciate you need to source 'problematic&#...I appreciate you need to source 'problematic' kickstarters to post about, Eric - and you may be right in terms of standardization and Ks user trends and expectations, but - it is my sincere belief that my approach to things is what makes my creativity interesting. You cannot please everyone and no matter what I'd done I would expect someone to disagree, and that's OK pro tip - the video works on mute too. Love your site, thanks for the review, I got this far being a reasonable rational guy who doesn't expect one side of things in all things, and I hope you will consider that slick marketing is not what kickstarter was supposed to be about..

He delivered on time (a little early, actually) and was available to take suggestions and added art based on backer requests. For a site that has an axe to grind about people who take the money and run, this Kickstarter is the opposite.<br /><br />Since you use Roll20 a fair amount and play a lot of OSR, that means hex crawls and wilderness wandering is a big part of the experience. For $10 you will get 60 very nice maps for a variety of terrain. Myrdin Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495535744199840091noreply@blogger.com
