Now that I'm on the other side of a month of monitoring my Kickstarter, I'm getting number-go-up withdrawal symptoms. I guess I'll have to stopgap by obsessively checking to see if the number of backers with payment method errors has gone down.

Good news, we're down from $1,100 of potentially dropped pledges to only $500 of potentially dropped pledges!

Oof, this is a long one! I've written up a blog post about the lessons I've learned from conducting my very first crowdfunding campaign, including a bit of a post-mortem on where my backers came from. mirror-lock.com/2024/11/01/l…

A reminder that my main social interaction hub is now BlueSky; find me there at mirror-lock.bsky.social. I'll still cross-post business announcements and updates here. If you want to hear important announcements with aesthetic pictures, though, my mailing list is the best source.

Throw a bone or two in before Halloween, the Great Pumpkin demands it. (I don’t shill for much, but this game has done so much for meβ€”and that was before I started actually contributing to it! The Between is worth it.)
We're in the final hours of our @BackerKit crowdfunding campaign for The Between! This is the best price these books will ever be, and everyone who backs now gets access to all TWENTY stretch goals we've unlocked! Please RT! backerkit.com/c/projects/the…
