DUNGEON CRAWL
So what is...
Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform where creators like myself can raise money to bring their ideas to life. For a board game like Dungeon Crawl, this means that we have designed a game, and we need your support to produce it! Instead of traditional funding methods,
we turn to everyday people — like you — to help get the game into production.
​
As a backer, you’re not just donating money; you’re helping a game creator turn their passion and vision into a finished product. And in exchange for your pledge, you'll receive a copy of the game, and other exclusive bonuses that aren’t available elsewhere!
What is the process?
Dungeon Crawl is LIVE!! Many of you have expressed interest, and now I need YOUR help to bring it to life.
The game will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter, which means it ONLY gets made if enough people pledge money to support it within the time limit. The game’s Kickstarter campaign will only last 30 days. If we don't hit our goal, the game WON'T be funded. That's why I'm counting on you, not only to pledge but also to spread the word!
Making an account on Kickstarter is super quick and easy. It will take less than 2 minutes! Hit [Back this Project] to support and buy your game!
​
If each of you shares this with just three people who might be interested, we'll reach our goal in no time. Your support, both pledging and sharing makes all the difference! Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to launch.
​
Until May 5th, you will select your game, input your information, and submit your online pledge. Your card will only be charged after May 5th - so tell your friends to put their money where their mouth is!
Why is Pledging Money Important?
Board games have specific production costs, like artwork, printing, and packaging. Kickstarter gives creators the funding they need upfront to pay for these costs before they can even start making the game. Pledging to this campaign means you're helping ensure Dungeon Crawl gets made and that we have enough support to cover all these costs.
​
Reaching our minimum funding goal is crucial.
​
If the project doesn’t reach that goal, the game won’t get made, and everyone who pledged will get their money back. So, when you pledge, you’re directly contributing to making Dungeon Crawl a reality!
​
By pledging your support, you're also becoming part of a community of people who are just as excited as you are about the game. Plus, the more backers there are, the more likely the game will be able to add extra content, stretch goals (like extra components or special editions), or even improved features —
all thanks to the community's collective support.
Why Should You Share?
Sharing is just as important as pledging. Here’s why:
​
1. Get the Word Out to Other Board Game Enthusiasts: Not everyone you know may be able to pledge, but chances are, you know people who love board games or who have friends that do. Sharing the campaign helps connect the game with the right audience, increasing the chances of getting funded.
​
2. Help Reach Stretch Goals: Dungeon Crawl’s Kickstarter campaign includes stretch goals that unlock special features and additional content if enough people pledge. By sharing the campaign, you’re helping the project reach more people, which can help unlock those exciting extras, like new characters, expanded dice sets, or even unique game pieces.
​
3. Build Excitement and Community: Board games are all about bringing people together. By sharing, you’re helping build a community of backers who are as passionate about the game as you are. The more people that get involved, the more excitement there will be around Dungeon Crawl, and that energy can help the project succeed. Board games are a big investment of time and money for players, and many backers want to see that others are excited about the project. When you share the campaign, you're showing that you believe in the game, which encourages others to join in and back it too.
How Can You Share?
Social Media: Post about the game on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any platform you use. Let your friends and followers know why you're excited about this game, and give them the link to pledge.
​
Email or Text: Reach out directly to friends who are board game lovers. A personal recommendation can go a long way.
​
Word of Mouth: When you talk to fellow gamers, mention the campaign! Sometimes a simple conversation can spark interest and get someone else to support the project.
Why Does It Matter?
Board games are more than just entertainment; they bring people together, spark creativity, and create memories. By pledging and sharing, you're helping bring a unique game into the world, ensuring that it gets produced and that it has the chance to thrive.
Your support helps us make the best possible version of the game — one that’s ready to be played and enjoyed by you and many others!
​
In summary, Kickstarter is a chance for board game creators to fund their dream projects, and your pledge directly supports their efforts. Sharing the campaign helps the project gain traction and reach more people, unlocking even more features and content along the way.
