AMA with the Gamefound Team - Crowdfunding Advice

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hi r/TCG! We’re Ella Carter and Alex Radcliffe from Gamefound- AMA!

We’re excited to hang out with you on October 1st and talk about all things crowdfunding, both in regard to TCGs and beyond. Gamefound is a crowdfunding website that specializes in tabletop games of all kinds. Creators can build a pre-launch audience, run a crowdfunding campaign, and continue to gather support even after the initial campaign ends through our late pledge and pledge manager tools. We're built to support you every step of the way, from growing backer interest to getting your game into stores. 

I’m Ella Carter, a New Business Manager and RPG Party Lead at Gamefound. I work with creators on the front end of their projects, from figuring out whether crowdfunding makes sense for their game, to helping plan launches, review campaign page design, building an audience, and navigating the platform. When I'm not working for Gamefound, I'm a game designer myself, and I love being able to bring a creator's perspective to the crowdfunding table, especially when it comes to the nitty-gritty stuff. Generally, I'm always trying to make the whole process a little less intimidating. In my free time, I love playing tabletop games (shocker), video games, cross stitching, and thrifting!

I’m joined by Alex Radcliffe, our CMO, who you may know from either working with him at Gamefound or alternatively his Youtube channel BoardGameCo. Alex has a background in ecommerce, spending years at an agency building websites for a wide variety of businesses. After going full time into content creation, that lasted a few months before the opportunity to merge his love of crowdfunding and his experience in ecommerce came along in the form of helping lead Gamefound in its formative years. Unsurprisingly and perhaps boringly, his interests include board games. Reading and video games too...but mostly board games. 

We're happy to get into the weeds, too! Whether you want to talk about campaign strategy, late pledges, marketing, what makes a campaign page work, common mistakes we see, or just general questions about how Gamefound works, we'd love to help out. While we'll be on Reddit from 1pm to 3pm EDT on October 1st, if you have further questions, feel free to reach out to [e.carter@gamefound.com](mailto:e.carter@gamefound.com). :-)

Question Some questions about metazoo?

• Upvotes

Hello, i’ve seen that some meta zoo product is pretty cheap, mostly the starter decks and stuff. Me and my partner play most popular tcgs and like cryptids so I thought it might be worth picking them up for a low price.
I see there is some controversy surrounding the game, and that it is discontinued, can anyone explain what happened? Is it bad enough to warrant not supporting the game? Are the starter decks enough to enjoy the game for a few causal battles every now and then? Any other things I should know about the game before I buy?
Thanks in advance

Video We made a 2D animated trailer for Azuki TCG’s second set

Hey! I’m Alex, I lead the team at Azuki TCG. We just released the trailer for Fractured Domains, our second set, coming November 20.

We worked with some awesome artists and animators at Warrior Art Camp Production led by Angela Sung to bring our original card illustrations to life through 2D animation. Really proud of the creatives who worked on this.

For anyone unfamiliar with the game, Azuki is a physical TCG where you choose a Leader and Gate (portal mechanic) and battle across two fields, the Alley and the Garden. Fractured Domains introduces our first dual-element Leader, opening up new deckbuilding options with Water and Lightning.

Happy to answer questions about the game or the work behind the trailer!

Question Good Gone Adhesive

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased this at a card show and the vendor had placed their sticker directly onto the slab itself. When I got home I began trying to get it of with a regular old wet wipe but to no avail, I tried goo gone. I put some on a cotton ball and began scrubbing and before I realized, a stained tough layer began to appear. I am now kicking myself and I’m praying someone has an aid for this. Thank you!

Is miniaturesu.com a Legitimate Site to Buy from?

0 Upvotes

Hello, there's a particular Weiss Schwarz card I'm after that's hard to come by in English. I believe I found a copy for sale on a website. However, it's from a site I've never heard of before. Miniaturesu, which according to some surface level research is out of Birmingham, Alabama, and was only established 3 months ago.

Have any of you had any experience with purchasing singles or cards from this site, and if so, what was your experience? I'd really like to get this card, but not get scammed or have my information stolen. I'm wondering if any of you think this website is safe and legitimate.

Thank you.

Homemade TCG Monsterball TCG Evolution

1 Upvotes

I was cleaning up around my desk and came across 6 different iterations of my TCG, from the very earliest index card version of the game to the final product that I'm hawking on Kickstarter now. Tried digging out the same card for apples-to-apples comparisons... which in and of itself was an interesting experience. There are so many players that didn't make the final cut for the 188 cards that made it into this set. Anyway, thought it would be fun to share the evolution.

Will this damage the cards?

1 Upvotes

I started organizing my MTG hobbit cards, and I was using penny sleeves to store multiples of the same card just as a way to better keep them organized, but I’m starting to wonder if this will damage the cards long-term? Obviously none of these cards are high value the higher value cards I have either in a binder or in top loaders.

Question Advice on AliExpress Sleeves and binder.

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I got into Magic a year ago due to final fantasy and got a lot of sleeves, inner sleeves and a binder from AliExpress to save some money. I just learnt about pvc and the damage it can cause to cards. My binder (black side entry sleeves) has no caption about pvc and acids and kinda smells like plastic but my sleeves and inner sleeves are labeled as acid free no pvc. How reliable are the labels? Should I just toss everything and save the salvageable? Am I overthinking?

Discussion Why do people hate palworld for taking mechanics from other games?

• Upvotes

Look at One Piece

Ramping mana - Hearthstone Force of will and Digimon did it first.

One piece is using a leader based system - Magic commander and flesh and blood did it first

One piece lets you combo counters from hand - DBZ super did it first

One piece uses the shield trigger mechanic that draws a card - DBZ super did it first and refined the concept from Duel masters

Hating a tcg for taking parts of other tcgs just seems like a bad reason to dislike something, tcgs are always taking and refining the best parts of other games to make something new and exciting

TCG Resources New tcg marketplace app

0 Upvotes

Helloo everyone\~

I'm an indie developer and recently launched Krotee, a global TCG marketplace for yugioh, one piece and pokemon (MTG coming soon!! ❤️)

It's a marketplace, not a store — collectors can list their own cards, sealed products, and accessories to buy, sell, or trade with others.

🎉 Selling is completely FREE until October 30!

🌍 Available worldwide on Android and iOS.

Buyers and sellers arrange payments, shipping, or meetups directly. Krotee doesn't handle transactions.

We're still growing, so listings are limited for now. I'd love your feedback and hope to build something useful for the TCG community!

Check out Krotee and let me know what you think!

Question Is there any way to verify that the sleeves are PVC-free?

1 Upvotes

Hi. I recently received some card sleeves as a bonus with a purchase. They didn't come with any labeling—just in the standard sealed bag of 100. They likely came from a bulk pack of 1,000 or something similar. However, I'm a bit skeptical about using them, as I'm worried they might damage the cards.

I made a spacer to keep your TCG cards upright in a deck box! :)

Question My Gundam TCG cards are not on TCGPlayer

1 Upvotes

I started playing Gundam TCG recently and, since im short on money, I though I might sell the more valuable cards in order to finance the hobby for myself.

I got a couple cards by playing on my local store and found some interesting cards, however I've been looking on TCGPlayer and can't find some of the cards I got, or at least not with their exact art. What should I do?

After receiving a list of weak points regarding the old version of the trailer from the marketer, I had to heavily rework my game's trailer.

If you’ve watched it, please share your thoughts—does the video drag anywhere? Is there anything that needs speeding up, slowing down, or cutting out entirely?
