I’ve been thinking over all the Kickstarter projects that have been going on lately and realized, that while some have been creative with their packages and stretch goals, I think there is a lot more that could be done with it. Why not use Kickstarter to create and fund a completely fan driven campaign. Here are some ideas on how it could work.
Pledges: Every pledge gets to contribute to the design. I would have each level have a different aspect assigned to it such as:
Pledge $1 or more and you get to name a town or village.
Pledge $5 or more and you get to name a city or river.
Pledge $50 or more and you get to name a NPC.
Pledge $100 or more and you get to name one of the gods.
You could have special pledge area such as:
Pledge $50 or more (Limit 100) Same as regular $50 but you sponsor guest writer “insert big name” who will write the section on NPCs using all the names submitted from both levels.
Stretch goals could be done for even more content or publishing or to offer really amazing deals.
Unlocked at $10,000 – Full color map designed by (insert big name map designer).
Unlocked at $100,000 – Not only will publisher X print the book, but publisher Z will create a copy for game B.
Unlocked at $200,000 – Another publisher will jump in and do the same as goal $100,000.
Unlocked at $1,000,000 – Everyone who contributes, no matter what level you contributed, gets a free copy of the book for your desired game system from those listed above, assuming people contribute more than a $1.
Add-ons could be used for even more stuff or more specific stuff.
As you can see there is some great potential to what Kickstarter could be used to do to create the ultimate fan created campaign setting. It is a bit out there, but it would be interesting to see if it could be done. So any thoughts or suggestions on what could be done?
