I've been wanting to post here for some time (My campaign funded in January), but now I've got the full time job of actually making what I promised in the Kickstarter, so time is extremely tight. One thing I learned (and as I said above, I did my homework, but for every new tip I learned, I discover...
I spent about 6 months networking, researching, creating artwork for - general preparation - to run a Kickstarter (and another 6 months researching what was needed to run one). I spent about 20 hours a week or so over the last 3 months leading up to the campaign (yes, it was a success, just barely) ...
Hi Sal, Wasn't sure if that was you or not, but I'll have to look up your LinkedIn account and left you a tweet, by the way. Thanks for the congrats.

Actually, we can't expect VaporStarter to be funding and all that every month, just because he started up this thread. Anyone can do this. Not trying to put pressure on any one person. People should always feel free to back. I back at least 1 project every week (though I need to slow down as I'm run...
Hi all, Well, we've got 8 days left for 8 stories - our Arcane Synthesis Kickstarter has almost come to an end! I'd like to think it's just the beginning, however, as we really are just getting warmed up. We've had a lot of relatives across the whole team and some close friends, but it's time to get...
