episode 10: Learning from a failed Kickstarter - A discussion with Jeremy Morgan of Long Dog Games (Pericle)
S02E10 - We're back with Jeremy Morgan from Long Dog Games, and today we're going to get into some of the history of Pericle, including their first attempt at Kickstarter and how that's taken them to today, as they're launching their new campaign for Pericle: Gathering Darkness.
Jeremy said of their first campaign "We're a bunch of game geeks...Lifelong lovers of games. We're authors, we're artists, we are game creators. The one key thing that was missing is nobody on the team really had any knowledge of crowdfunding at all. We didn't have advertising knowledge. And so what we saw in our first Kickstarter was the people who were with us were like stoked for this game. They thought that it's a really great idea; this is pushing the boundaries of tabletop RPGs. But our problem was that we spent about $4,000 total in ads and anybody listening, who knows anything about that knows that that's just not enough to do hardly anything with."
Pericle: Gathering Darkness is on Kickstarter from March 9th - April 9th, 2022. https://www.periclethegame.com
