Last DAY for “La BATAILLE de Kulm”

LAST DAY!!

COLLECTOR MAGAZINE AND GOLD INK ARE BOTH ACHIEVED!

Against the Odds is kickstarting a new "La Bataille" game.  We made a great game with "La Bataille de Vauchamps" that offered a small footprint (for a La Bat game) and rules structured for easy entry to the La Bat universe. It worked, and "Vauchamps" is OOP.

This time, we are exploring the 1813 Battle of Kulm, which followed Napoleon's victory at Dresden and flipped the script for the rest of the 1813 Campaign.  We're showing art from Vauchamps because that is the standard we will use, and our map will match the style of La Bataille de Dresde.

Funded in 3 hours. 4 Stretch Goals the first day. 18 Now! 

Lots more SGs to come.  Special shipping advantages for EU and UK supporters!

Beautiful game, and a good entry for the "La Bataille" system.

Freedom Well Testing Merges with Azure Holding Group ($AZRH) in Strategic Merger, Adds $10.0M In annual Revenue

Freedom Well Testing Joins Azure Holding Group ($AZRH) in Strategic Merger

WEATHERFORD, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2024 / Azure Holding Group Corp. (OTC PINK:AZRH, being renamed American Industries) and Freedom Well Testing ("FWT") have officially completed a strategic merger, integrating FWT's full business operations into AZRH. The merger, finalized on November 25, 2024, merged 100% of FWT's business in an all stock exchange.

Freedom Well Testing, a 5 year old oilfield services company, brings extensive expertise in providing Flowback and Production services to Major Oil & Gas Operators in the Permian Basin, the Delaware Basin and the Eagleford Shale. The companies plan to pursue further joint ventures and acquisitions in the coming months.

The company intends to engage Grassi as its independent auditor in January 2025. For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company expects to record just over $10,000,000 in revenue, mostly down as a result of an election year. The Company believes it is well positioned to grow back to at least $18,000,000 in revenue for the 12 months ending December 31, 2025.

Freedom Well Testing was found on the following 3 key principles: Honesty, integrity & experience. Founded in 2019, by Eric Kuritz and Josh Watson, Freedom Well Testing brings 20+ years of proven experience into the oil and gas industry. Eric & Josh have managed upwards of 120 oil & gas professionals on projects that set records for oil production and management of sand returns.

At Freedom Well Testing, we understand the importance of safety and environmental responsibility. That's why we adhere to strict safety protocols and environmental regulations, and we are constantly investing in innovative technologies and practices to minimize our environmental impact. We believe that it's our responsibility to protect the environment and the communities where we operate.

Since opening for operation, we have maintained a TRIR of Zero (0). Our professional, detail-oriented employees ensure Freedom Well Testing carries a reputable name within the oil and gas industry, and maintain our commitment to achieve zero incidents involving injury or spills. We desire to become the best, most efficient, knowledgeable workforce in the industry.

My first Kickstarter game was a success 🙌🙌🙌

Very relieved to be able to say Spellwards met its very modest goal of $2500. Going into the project, I mainly saw Kickstarter as a vehicle to promote my game and get it out there. Love it or hate it, Kickstarter is one of the key hubs people use to find new interesting games and there are numerous satellite communities (like this one) that orbit it. Being from one of the smaller cities in Australia, getting a game out into the world by myself would've been an impossible task before Kickstarter so I'm personally very thankful it exist.

As a first time creator, my strategy for my page was pretty simple. Without an established name or a major company to help establish confidence and trustworthiness in the project, I could only really rely on making sure I communicated what my game was as clearly and concisely as possible and hope the concept of the game would be enough to entice backers. To that end, I kept my Kickstarter video as short as possible and prioritised making a playthrough video that captured the feel of the game.

Taking my game out and playing with real people at conventions was the other key part of my strategy. I took my game to 5 different conventions in Australia, met over 1000 people and played more than a 1000 games all up. But I enjoyed doing it the whole time so I wouldn't call it work.

Pressing the launch button was still an extremely nervy experience. It's very human to doubt yourself and your game. Very happy to say that everything turned out alright and everything that comes after now is just gravy on top

Just thought I'd share my small victory. Hopefully all your Kickstarter projects have the same success. Gotta say, it's a wonderful feeling.

Do you include VAT as part of the game cost?

As I'm currently trying to set the price of my future game, I was wondering if I need to add the VAT (20% of the MSRP) to my costs, if it's only the 20% of the profits, or if it's both. Anyone has any idea?

[Kickstarter] One Billion Users: the Social Media Card Game – a competitive card game to build the biggest and best social media platform

We just launched a Kickstarter campaign to produce our new game One Billion Users. Funding is open through December 19th.

Have you ever been on social media and thought “I bet I could run this site better than the people in charge”? Well, now’s your chance to test your skills. We’ve created One Billion Users: a fast, fun card game where you’re in charge of your own social network.

In One Billion Users, players compete to build the most successful social network. Gain users and attract influencers to build your site while playing cards to slow down your rivals and overcome obstacles. But be careful about which communities you attract — the toxicity they bring with them could hurt your platform!

One Billion Users is inspired by the public domain game “Touring” which William Janson Roche released in 1906. Touring is a car racing card game, in which you try to go further while putting obstacles on other players. It is considered to be the first “take that!” style card game, which has been imitated and adapted many times since. The most famous such adaptation was 1954’s Mille Bornes, which was so popular that it briefly outsold Monopoly. Mille Bornes is almost an exact replica of Touring with just a few small changes.

We’ve taken the basic mechanics of Touring and adapted it to a favorite topic of ours: social media. Beyond retheming the game, we’ve added new mechanics including: attracting and stealing influencers, balancing user toxicity, and random events (like tech bubbles) that affect all of the players.

One Billion Users delivers whether you’re a social media aficionado, a tabletop gaming enthusiast, or just looking for a fun new game to enjoy with friends and family. It’s designed to be not only entertaining and engaging, but also highly replayable, ensuring hours of enjoyment.

So head on over to the campaign and back it now.

Silly addon idea or actually intelligent?

EDIT: IT SHOULD BE STRETCH GOAL IDEA, NOT ADDON

So, I've backed a LOT of kickstarters and I've never seen this before, but I'm currently planning the stretchgoals for my upcoming campaign, and I was thinking....

Since shipping costs are so high, would a series of stretchgoals to reduce the shipping cost be a good idea? It'd be like reaching X ammount and then reducing the shipping for everybody by $3... I know it's not much, but it's something, and it'd be only after all important strechgoals have been met...

What do you think?

Crowdfunding modules/physicals for Shadowdark?

Hi everyone,

I've got an idea for a cool little module for Shadowdark that friends are pushing me to try and get funded on Kickstarter. This module would (obviously) feature only my art and not use any resources from The Arcane Library. I'm going to assume that because they own the trademark I'm not able to do this, but I wonder if there is any way to make this happen-would releasing it for both 5e and Shadowdark enable me to get this funded?

It is more of a handmade object, so l'm not trying to get hundreds of copies made, likely 50 physical copies or less. I'm not sure if this is a relevant community for this question, but I plan on bothering you all once I get the ball rolling, regardless. Cheers, thanks everyone-

Anyone here ever back a new trading card game on crowdfunding?

Hey all! I’ve been looking into this TCG called Bluthelden, which is trying to get off the ground through crowdfunding. I don’t know a ton about backing card games on these platforms, but it sounds interesting. Just curious if anyone here has backed a TCG (or any game really) through crowdfunding and what your experience was like?

There's just one catch: this is not a cooperative game! Though you're managing the town together, only one player can win the election and become mayor — it's up to you to prove you're the right critter for the job!

The End Games, a flgs in Virginia and Andy Mangham have been at this for years, please help and enjoy this amazing game Andy's done a great job on!
