Hey guys, I have been contemplating how to implement Black Friday savings for a Kickstarter and the solution is actually quite simple. A tiered reward system. When a certain amount of money is pledged, you get certain items.
One thing I don't want to be is a start up company that can't give some stuff away for the holidays. We are not quite meeting the goals I had wanted to in order to give everyone free decks, but I think this extra pick-me-up is something you pledges will enjoy.
Here is how it works: Make your pledge by this coming Monday 11:59 AM EST (right before it becomes Tuesday) and you get free stuff if you've pledged enough! If you've already pledged, feel free to upgrade or just sit back and enjoy free stuff.
Pledges of $50 or more get one free deck.
Pledges of $100 or more get two free decks.
Pledges of $250 or more get three free decks.
Pledges of $500 or more get five free decks.
Your free stuff will be automatically added to your shipment when we ship out the decks. Of course if we reach our other reward thresholds those will be included as well. That's a lot of free decks. You can use them, display them, sell them, eat them - whatever you want to do with them is okay with me. My advice? Use your extra decks to make awesome gifts for (literally) anyone. Talk about a unique birthday present!
This is an announcement that will only be view-able by people that browse the Discourse as an additional way of saying thank you for contributing in making this absolutely awesome community exist.
I hope you'e all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Have a safe Black Friday!

Awesome! Cheers Alex,
Looks like I will be the proud owner of 7 Vortex decks now instead of a measly 6 :P

@ez: That's a shame. I don't mean to be a buzzkill but you do realize your FOTW prize is a free deck with your purchase right? =P
@Curt: Now you can abuse the heck out of one deck and not worry about wasting cash!

I know man.... Im actually really sad... I wanted these so bad ever since I saw your video on youtube about them even though they didn't exist at the time...

Ez, you don't have money for any of the Vortex? I thought you already pledged.

Sadly no, I havnt peldged and have no money for it

Wait you are not pledging at all, that means you dont get a free deck for being FOTW.
Alex confirm or deny this.

The free deck prizes on FOTW have always been announced as "with your pledge."
You cannot obtain a free deck without pledging unless noted otherwise in the prize.

I think he mis-interpreted your message.

Hey EZStreet, let me know if you end up not pledging...I will be getting a brick of them so I will qualify for the two free decks, I wouldn't mind sending you one of them! :) Feel bad for anyone who would not and could not be able to handle this deck ;) Just let me know via PM.

Wow man! Thank you so much! Thats extremely nice of you. :)
-
No problem bro ;) I plan on doing the same with the other free deck I receive. I know how much it sucks to want a deck and not being able to purchase it then and waiting for people to sell them at a higher, sometimes outrageous price ;) lol
-
Wow! That's amazing Alex!!
Thank you so much :D
-
This is awesome. So many amazing decks to play with. More decks means more gimmicked decks in the long run for me, I think.
-
Thanks Alex!
But just one question, how would you know whether the pledger is a member in the Discourse? Or are you saying that anything would get the extra deck if they pledge enough, whether or not they are a member of Discourse? And it's just that we get to see the announcement?

-
so even though we haven't reached 36,000 buck we still get free decks? that means i get 2 more to add on to my twelve, but selling 6 to a friend in Brisbane, hell probably get another one for a bit extra
-
I would love to take advantage of the special, but with my cash flow being what it is, I can't. I've got three Kickstarter projects hitting their deadlines in three consecutive days and they're all over 100% funded already.
Speaking of which, it's looking more and more like Crimson Gate might fail.
-
what three is that? Vortex, Galvanic? Crimson gate?

I think it's vortex, and B&W brimstone. Don't know about the other.

You're the f-ing man Alex! Way to appreciate your supporters. 8)

Dec 3, 3am - Vortex
Dec 4, 8pm - B&W Actuators
Dec 5, 11am - Miskatonic School for Girls Deck Building Game.
There ain't no B&W Brimstone! Galvanic and Crimson Gate still have about three weeks left.

Oh, I'm sorry I was wrong.
I didn't actually remember the name of these decks. (But I backed 2 of them)

It's all good. The Miskatonic game is really cool if you're into the Cthulhu/Lovecraft Mythos. It's also fun for anyone who's played deck building games like Magic: the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh and the rest. You actually build your OPPONENT'S deck instead of your own! If you check out the Kickstarter page you can find the rules or at least a link to them in the updates. But I'm waaaaay off topic, so...
;D
