The $1 Crowdfunding Pledge

Let’s talk about the $1 pledge level. Why do I pledge at that level sometimes, and how often do I get more?

So what is a $1 pledge? It is basically a cheap way to get the updates on a Kickstarter campaign. With Gamefound you can follow along if you subscribe to it. But Kickstarter, is is $1 and often times it gives you access to the pledge manager as well.

The nice thing about a $1 pledge is that you don’t need all the money at once. If both Final Girl and Marvel Zombies run at the same time – they did – then you don’t need to give both of them a couple hundred dollars right at the same time. You back $1 now you can get one now and save up for the other one later.

But how often do I back for $1, once in a while, and I’d say maybe 2 out of the 6-7 that I did that with, I ended up adding in the pledge manager. One, for sure, that I did was The Witcher: Old World. And I believe there was another that I added. I don’t care enough, most of the time, to do $1 and get the updates.

The Drink

A Negroni again. It’s such a good drink, again a warm day and one that is nice to have on a day like that. But a good drink to have stuff around for. It is really one that I like to sip while grilling as well. On a hot summer day it is refreshing and with some ice in there, it doesn’t feel water down when the ice melts.

Upcoming Streams

Tomorrow I’ll be streaming, I think my plan is more Paper Dungeons. So join for some fun to play along. I’m still working my way through that campaign.

I talked about this on the stream, and maybe I’ll talk about it more tomorrow. But I am getting a gaming table with a topper. That will allow for me to leave a bigger campaign game set-up on the lower level and put the top on when I want to play something else. So once that comes, I am going to be getting back to streaming a larger game.

So two things before I get to the meat of the article, this one doesn’t embed for some reason, but it’s a quick read so go checkout the page. And also this is a bonus Back or Brick, because, well, it’s a cheap Kickstarter to back that I think is worth at least glancing at.

Pros

• Price
• Design

Cons

• Not All Subclasses

The Page/Project

This is a pretty simple project but one that is laid out well. It gives you the information as to what the project is right away. It’s a one page layout for a lot of Dungeons and Dragons classes, well, all 12 plus then sub classes. It’s meant to help make learning your class and how to play Dungeons and Dragons easier. And hit hits the most common subclasses, which is nice.

I also really like that you get a blank template if you are at the GM Bundle Level. And if this interests you, I recommend backing at that level. Why, because of getting that blank one. I plan on going through every class, and subclass to get sheets written up and printed out. Probably when I have a player who is playing that class and subclass. This will be easier to handout to players versus having them trying to short hand stuff onto their character sheet. I might even laminate them for reuse.

Back or Brick

So is this a Back or Brick for me? It’s a Back. As someone who only runs Dungeons and Dragons, I can see this being really useful. It’s basically a sheet that allows players to see what they have coming up, what abilities they already have unlocked, and gives more space for knowing what their abilities do. Honestly, I think this could be a no brainer for a lot of Dungeon Masters. Especially if you have newer players or players who don’t have their own players handbook.

How about for you, is this Back or Brick?
