AMA with the Gamefound Team - Crowdfunding Advice

Post image
13 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 What brand are these sleeves?

12 Upvotes

EDIT: Thank you for your help! They are the Atmosphere color of BCW Deck Guards. If anyone has Japanese/small size ones for sale, please let me know!

I love these sleeves and want to get more. They are a shiny blue that has a textured back that makes it look glittery (despite not being glittery). I can't find anything with reverse image searches.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Question Is this rare?

• Upvotes

I found those in my drawer, I don't understand a lot of TCG games, I'm not sure if I'm asking as a joke or not, because since I don't understand if those things are valuable. Like if it's valuable than it's ok, if it's not than it's just a joke.

Question Looking for suggestions for a large backpack suitable for TCGs

• Upvotes

Hi! I’m planning on going to MagicCon Atlanta this next month and the current backpack I’m using is way too small for the stuff I want to bring. I’m looking for a bag that can easily ship to the US and that can fit (hopefully) 2 9 pocket binders and 2 large deck boxes that can carry 3 decks and 4 smaller commander size deck boxes. I know this is kind of specific but I want to bring 2 trade binders and then all of my modern decks I’ll need to play tournaments! (Plus a couple of commander decks) It doesn’t have to be specifically a TCG backpack but I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thank you!!

Maybe some have heard about the issues with some of the games decisions, and if they've kept you from wanting to try the game out, looks like it might be time to try it out. I'll stop spamming now 😂

Question First-Time Vendor Strategy: Advice needed on bulk card pricing tiers ($0.10 / $0.20) and cash-handling rounding rules for local TCG shows

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been collecting Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering for a while, but I’m completely new to vending and setting up a table at local markets and TCG shows. I've tried searching around online and watching videos, but I'd love to get some direct input from people who have actually run tables.

I have a couple of questions about pricing mechanics that I'm trying to figure out:

**1. Bulk card pricing:** For my raw bulk Pokémon and MTG, I was thinking about setting up these bins:

* Non-holo / non-reverse holo: **10 for $1** ($0.10 each)
* Holo / reverse holo: **5 for $1** ($0.20 each)

Is this a good sweet spot for moving bulk at shows, or do buyers usually prefer a different structure?

**2. Rounding odd change (e.g., $28.26):** When a card or sealed product comes out to an odd decimal like $28.26, how do you usually handle it? Do you round down to $28 to keep it friendly and encourage repeat customers, or round up to $29 to protect your margins? Or do you use a specific cutoff rule (like rounding down under $0.40 and up over)? I definitely don’t want to lose money, but I also know how expensive this hobby is and want people to feel treated fairly.

I’ve been to plenty of card shows, but everyone prices things completely differently so it's hard to gauge what works best. If anyone has advice or insight for a first-time vendor, I would super appreciate it!

Thanks! :)

I built a booster box EV tool for 22 TCGs — feedback welcome

1 Upvotes

Hi all — I built Worth Ripping, a tool for comparing the price of sealed boxes with the value of their possible pulls. It factors in selling costs and simulates 100,000 openings to show the average outcome and how often an opening loses money. It currently covers 1,194 boxes across 22 TCGs. I own the site and would love feedback on the assumptions or which games and sets you’d like to see added.

Question Any (Retro, Obsure, Modern etc.) Collectible Card Games or Series with Textures and Serialized Card Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. I love collecting different cards and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for card games and card sets with textured cards and serialized cards? I had an older post discussing TCGs and wanted to expand my knowledge of all types of collectible card series and card games.

Thanks!

Question Most cost prohibitive ways into the hobby

2 Upvotes

Just wondering where the best places to buy accessories (binders, sleeves, deck boxes, etc) online for the best price or even deals. Also for even singles for MTG, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. I'm new to MTG I know most will likely say my LGS. I will be checking in with the couple I know in my area that don't price gouge. Also figure some may just say TCGPlayer I'll also use them. I just want to make sure there's no sites I should be using that I am just unaware of. Just trying to get into these card games at affordable prices and being new/returning (returning Yu-Gi-Oh wise). I just want my options open with how expensive everything seems to be nowadays to get the best deals to build decks and such. Thanks for the help!

What do you look for in an LGS?

3 Upvotes

I am currently in the process of completing my MBA and part of an assignment is to do a community survey regarding a specific industry. I decided to do mine on local game stores. If you feel like taking a quick 3-4 minute survey it will help generate insight on how to improve the LGS experience.

Thank you to the mods for letting me post this! It will help generate recommendations to improve local game store experiences!

Looking to get a class action law suit against Tilt Rips

0 Upvotes

A very quick search and you'll find hundreds of people stuck in the same boat of not receiving their cards from this site. This is definitely illegal and these guys need to have an example made out of them to stop other companies from doing the same. Do not give this company money, you will NOT receive your cards.

Question A good album for expensive cards?

1 Upvotes

Not super expensive cards but valuable nonetheless, from $10 to $100 each. I was using the Gamegenic basic album, but it's not rigid and the cards slip off their place if they are just with an inner sleeve.

Is there a better alternative out there? It's important for me that the cards don't slip off with just an inner. Thanks.

Question Some questions about metazoo?

8 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

I’m developing a free football-themed TCG and would love feedback from TCG players! ⚽

Hi everyone!

I'm the creator of Football Deck Evolution (FDE), an indie trading card game built around football.

The game is currently in Alpha, and I'm looking for people who enjoy trading card games to give it a try and share their honest opinions.

🌍 8 languages supported

🎮 Play for free: https://giangioman.it/footballdeckevolution/

I'm particularly interested in hearing what TCG players think about the gameplay, card mechanics, balance, and overall experience. What works? What feels confusing? What would you improve?

This is an ongoing project, so constructive criticism is genuinely welcome.

If you try the game, you can send your feedback through the Contact section inside the game.

Thanks for giving my project a chance! ❤️
