Character Collections: Day 5…first stretch goal to fall?
Welcome to Day 5 of this 18-day project!
Character Collections for The Fantasy Trip
Status and Progress
We funded in nine hours, and we are currently
- 27 backers from the first stretch goal of making character cards for CC1
- 177 backers from unlocking CC4: Wizards
- 377 backers from unlocking CC5: Merchants and Caravans
- 677 backers from unlocking CC6: Pirates, Raiders, and Sailors
over the last two days, we’ve averaged 20 backers per day; that strongly suggests that we can hope the first stretch goal should fall today or tomorrow.
The other two look far away…but if we continue on the pace of roughly 20/day through the end, with no pickup, we’ll hit 600 people. That means only 100 of the 268 who are following but not yet pledged would need to come over…and that’s on pace for the current conversion rate of the project.
BiggerCake seems to think we’ll surpass 700 handily.
Finally, expect to see a few podcasts and some larger marketing reach in the next week or so.
Make the Most of the Post
Increasing the reach of the project is key. The more see it and hear things about Gaming Ballistic and the products that – thanks to projects like this one – we have created the more we can lean on the stretch goals.
Yesterday I either made or replied to posts in three different large RPG forums. There are also facebook posts and twitter tweets that can be seen and reshared or commented on. Every time that happens, the network grows and the number of backers grows also – creators get the stats and can see it happen!

More Perilous Journeys: Arriving
Mostly on Facebook, but I’ve seen other places as well: More Perilous Journeys is very nearly finished fulfillment, with 32 packages still “in transit” within the USPS, 2 out for delivery. I’m still waiting to hear about the Royal Mail DDP program, which covers 17 packages bound for the EU.
Everything else has been marked as delivered in the USA.
This is, to really hammer home the point, another way of getting the word out about Gaming Ballistic, this project, and TFT. Post images, reviews, and commentary in places where people will see them.
As Professor Lupin said: “It really does help.”
