So something that I haven't talked about a lot on here is my interest in board games. A few years ago I got into board gaming as a hobby, and developed a free print-and-play board game that has done pretty well for itself as free downloadable board games go. I submitted this game to publishers, and it was signed by Gryphon Games. We're going to be launching a Kickstarter campaign for it in a few weeks, and as part of the whole process, I decided to write a "Designer Diary" of sorts, just cataloging my journey from hobbyist game developer to getting my first board game accepted and published by an established company. So far I've written and posted two chapters: Chapter 1: Humble BeginningsChapter 2: Building a Game, Bit by Byte_________________ ""._

I like boardgames a lot. As long as you time your kickstarter right and give one of the options as having one copy of the game, theres a good chance I am willing to suopport your kickstarter. By right timing i mean to keep it open at least till 23rd of june maybe. So i have time to transfer money to right account when Im back home.

And i didint get to even fund it yet.
By the way, you have real crappy pricing there. I originally (when you mentioned aobut going to kickstarter) thought i just take the one with the game and then you put those extra 1 - 2 USD more and you get extra maps.
Man, I dont even want that community designed map, but for such a small price more I just have to take it.

You can still fund the project, but I agree, the jump from $1 to $40 is pretty hefty.

I finally got into backing this thing. But one question. There is this: Please add $20 for international shipping.
How do i do this? Do i make another pledge of 20 USD, or do i cancel my current 45 USD and pledge for 65 instead or does it take it automatically or how?

You can edit your pledge by clicking the "Manage My Pledge" button (or just go to this link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/167 ... age_pledge ) That will let you add an extra $20 to your pledge for international shipping. Thanks so very very much! _________________ ""._
