Our previous Kickstarter raised around 8 million dollars when all the final orders were in. But even I didn’t expect to get a highstorm instead. I’ll admit I knew the seed of something incredible was there, and the showman in me was excited to do my best to make that all come together in a way that would take the world by storm. I can safely say nobody in our company anticipated the explosive success of our Secret Projects Kickstarter. Part Two: On Crowdfunding and Responsibility And in the coming days, we’ll be showing off a great deal of concept art that I think you’ll all find very interesting. Even if you’re not interested in the minis, I think you’ll enjoy looking through the Kickstarter page to see my vision for each of the characters. We’ll be going into depth about how we arrived at the models we created for each of these minis. However, this campaign should be very fun. We’ll try, as always, to be worthy of the trust you show us. I’m going to do my best to mitigate potential problems, but if this is a concern of yours, I hear you.

The short version of what I’ll explain in detail below is: I’m aware it’s a little cheeky of me to be doing a second Kickstarter this year, while everyone is waiting for their Secret Projects. But I wanted to up front give a good plug for what we’re doing here. I’ll talk more about what is cool about this Kickstarter later. They have been a fantastic partner, and they’ve gone above and beyond in trying to get the characters right-often going back to revise a dozen or more times as Isaac and I have requested changes. So I really hope you’ll go take a look at the Kickstarter and consider backing it.

Part One: The Quick Versionīefore I dig into it too deeply, I want to get to the marketing portion. Our friends at Brotherwise have been working hard on preparing this Kickstarter for well over a year-and I’m extremely pleased with the product we’ve managed to put together. I’ve got several points I want to make, but I hope they’ll all come together cohesively. I apologize in advance if this rambles a little. I want to be accountable to you, and aware of potential issues surrounding crowdfunding and the success I’ve been having with it lately.

Today, we launch a new Kickstarter campaign-for Stormlight minis and painted figurines.This affords me a chance to talk about a few things relating to the behind the scenes of how this Kickstarter came about, why we’ve partnered with Brotherwise for it, and how I want to approach Kickstarters in the future.
