Backers expect more. Platforms have matured. The old crowdfunding playbook doesn’t work like it used to. So what does?

On 11/5, Fred Hicks (33x crowdfunder & co-founder of Evil Hat Productions) and Adriel Wilson (Indie Publisher Rep at DriveThruRPG) join us for an unscripted conversation about how TTRPG crowdfunding has changed, what’s working now, and where it’s headed next.

✨ What’s really changed for backers, platforms & creator tools
✨ The mistakes that sink campaigns & what they’d do differently
✨ Where it’s headed: their predictions & yours
✨ How the BackerKit x DriveThruRPG integration makes things easier for creators & backers

Got a hot take or prediction? Share it when you RSVP and it could get discussed live.

Free webinar, replay included.

⚔️ Rat Queens: A Redemption Campaign from Talespinner Games is live on BackerKit and funded in under 3 days! $155K+ raised from more than 1.7K backers, with no signs of slowing down.

Rat Queens is a fast-paced co-op deck-building tower defense game where you defend the gates of Palisade, loot the villains you slay, and face down a Nemesis before the town falls.

Want more Rat Queens while you wait? Vengeance on Villains is a brand-new Rat Queens comic being drawn in real time on the project page. Backers vote on what the Queens do next, and every choice unlocks a free Ally card.

Palisade won't defend itself. Back it before Oct 8. 👉https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/talespinner-games/rat-queens-a-redemption-campaign

24 hours in and they've already raised $1M with over 3K backers! 🤯
It started with two friends who run a small boutique publisher, both completely hooked on HBO's new hockey show. One text later, they had an idea: make the boxed set fans have been dreaming of. All six books in Rachel Reid's beloved hockey romance series, plus the upcoming seventh book, brought to life by her favorite fan artists. Digitally signed by Rachel, with two sets of dust jackets, including one you get to vote on.
