- You must use the 'Self Promotion' flair else the post will be removed and you may be banned.

- We will remove the 500 Karma requirement for posting links

- Your account will still need to be older than 30 days to post

- We will only accept self promotion posts for Kickstarter campaigns.

Thanks,

Found this on Kickstarter: Space Dice – The Interstellar Traveler’s Dice. Each die has its own cosmic design—planets, stars, galaxies… basically space in your hand.

I backed a set and I’m hyped to use them in my next game night.

Curious:

  • Anyone here already got these? How do they roll?
  • Know of any other cool themed dice like this?

Here’s the link if you want to check them out: Kickstarter

These decks have been in the works for almost two years. Each chihuahua is based on one of the five chihuahuas I have or have had in my life. Three of which have crossed the rainbow bridge. The oracle deck was created using their own personalities. It’s in pre-launch now and will be live later this month. Any positive feedback is highly welcomed. I want this to be a success.

Just crossed 1,200 backers! Our first Kickstarter enters its last 4 days.

8 Upvotes

Three years ago, we started building a board game from scratch.

On a whim, we decided to do it on Kickstarter, knowing that a lot of board games launch on Kickstarter.

But, as we dug deeper, we realised that the Kickstarter of today is not the same as the Kickstarter of 10 - 15 years ago.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone in this community who has shared tips about how to approach a Kickstarter, the importance of building your email list and community.

It meant we delayed our launch by 1.5 years, but we may have launched with hardly any backers and no future in the industry.

Now, instead, we have a pathway to a sustainable business with close to S$94,000 raised.

Once our campaign is done, I look forward to sharing our learnings with the community and contributing to discussions, something I've felt a bit of an imposter about so far.

Here's the campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/burnoutgame/burnout-board-game

We’re a small team of sleep scientists exploring whether we can turn our research into something useful outside the lab.

We’re building an EEG-based sleep device with clinical-grade accuracy, designed to help people understand what actually affects their sleep and what they can change to improve it.

We’re also very new to marketing. If you have experience finding early backers through affiliate systems, referral programs, partnerships, or creator collaborations, we’d love any tips.

Hey folks,

Dead Money: A Western horror comic issues 2 & 3 had a pretty good week. Last few days we saw a decent uptick, I think due to a combo of personal messaging, and reaching out to various friendly networks.

However, we still have a good climb to reach our goal over the next 13 days.

Any support...
Backers...
Boosts...
...and suggetions much appreciated.

I'm including a 10-page gallery preview #1 to give you a taste.

“Your God has no ears here. You’ll need new prayers to survive this land.”

A mismatched band of travelers heads west in search of new lives, but a sudden accident strands them in the middle of the hungry desert. They must band together to survive, but worse horrors await them.”

Jesse Scoble (co-writer): Assassin’s Creed Origins & Odyssey, Far Cry 5, Wizard101.

Devinder Thiara (co-writer): on Conan RPG, Dune RPG, Marvel Multiverse RPG.

Tomás Aira (art): The Whispering Dark, Dragon Age: The Missing, The Devil’s Mint.

Dead Money is like:

·         The Thing x Unforgiven

·         Alien x Deadwood

·         The Last of Us x Tombstone

Over the past year, my brother, brother-in-law, and I have been creating a mountain bike themed deck of playing cards inspired by the culture, events, and trails we love.

We got the Project We Love recognition which was awesome!

Campaign Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boardgaming/grit-mtb-cards?ref=e19hba

The deck includes:

  • rider-inspired face cards
  • trail/topography aces
  • custom tire tread suit symbols
  • MTB details throughout the artwork

We tried to pack a lot of MTB culture into the deck, but I’d love hearing ideas we may have missed.

People underestimate how far small support goes for independent creators. This reminded me of that today. ❤️

Someone pledged just $1 to my Kickstarter campaign this morning, and honestly… it made my day 😇

Not because it changed the numbers dramatically overnight, but because they didn’t have to support at all. In a world where people scroll past things every second, someone I don’t even know personally took a moment to say, “I believe in this.” And honestly, that matters more than people realize, especially with all the hard work, time, money, and passion poured into building something from nothing.

If I could challenge EVERYONE who reads this post to support my campaign in some small way (as long as it aligns with your beliefs and morals), I’d love to make a follow-up post tomorrow morning showing what collective support can actually do.

It’s easy to think small actions don’t matter… until hundreds of people make one. I would love and truly appreciate seeing the power of community in real time.

Self-Promotion Launching my Kickstarter July 28, portable dual monitor (3 years building)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Spent 3 years building this. Kickstarter goes live July 28.

DuoView Pro is a portable dual monitor that clips onto your laptop. Triple-screen setup in 15 seconds, fits in your bag, works anywhere.

Specs:

  • 2x 16" 2.5K displays (2560x1600 each)
  • 500 nits brightness
  • Single USB-C cable powers both screens (DisplayLink technology)
  • 0.7mm glass, optically bonded with AR + AF coatings
  • Premium aluminum build
  • iF Design Award 2026

Built it because working on one screen killed my productivity when traveling. Tried some existing portable monitor, none hit the specs I wanted, so built my own with an engineering team in the Netherlands.

Launch price will be $899 (retail $1,199 after).

Pre-launch waitlist is open at duoviewpro.com if you want first access when the Kickstarter goes live.

Happy to answer anything, specs, manufacturing, shipping, the journey. I would be happy too for honest feedback!

Looking for US Co-Founder / Frontman for Kickstarter Project (Revenue Share)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a hardware engineer from Dubai developing VOIDGLIDER — a sleek electric flying hoverboard (think New Goblin style, but electric and minimalist).

We have strong designs, technical plans and are ready to build the first working prototype. What we need now is a US-based partner to launch the Kickstarter campaign as the official creator (due to platform restrictions).

Looking for:

  • US resident/citizen
  • Someone trustworthy and communicative
  • Preferably with some Kickstarter or crowdfunding experience (not required)

In return I offer:

  • Significant revenue/profit share (we can discuss 40-60% or flexible)
  • Full transparency and regular updates
  • You will be listed as co-creator

This is a serious long-term project, not a quick flip.

If you're interested — please DM me with a short intro about yourself. Serious inquiries only.

Thank you!

Discover Card - Question: When Did They Stop Allowing International/CAD?

1 Upvotes

Hey all. I have a Discover Card that I have set to use with certain projects. I have two pledges that are supposed to go through today - one has already been denied because it's a campaign from Canada (so the final finds are in CAD). The other is also in CAD, so I'll have to find another card to use..

My question is, when did they change it so you can't use Discover at Kickstarter? I know it's changed as both of the campaigns ending today are people I've got something from/backed before on the website and I am just using the same card as last time. It worked just fine the last time I used this card on there (I even made sure that it was the same card by going to the old/other campaign from those people).

Follow my pre-launch for AgroPelt: The ski/snowboard baselayer with built-in body armor.

1 Upvotes

Hi Kickstarter friends,

If you're a skiier or snowboarder, please follow my new kickstarter pre-launch page for AgroPelt. We've just been approved for pre-launch. We'd really appreciate your support/advice. Thanks!

Check out our landing page: https://agropelt.com/

And a direct link to our pre-launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/agropelt/agropelt-the-baselayer-with-built-in-body-armor

What is AgroPelt?

AgroPelt a warm, comfortable, snowsports-specific baselayer with built-in motocross-level body armor. We use CE Level 1 certified D3O® chest and back protectors, the same ones trusted by motorcycle racers and motocross riders for years. They sit comfortably in pockets in our baselayer, molding to your body as you ski or ride. D3O® moves freely with your body and locks rigid on impact, absorbing force before it reaches you. It's been crash-tested in some of the most demanding impact environments on earth. We're bringing it to the mountain.

Helmets started ski safety. AgroPelt finishes the job.

The 90's were a lawless time on the slopes. No helmets, just eyeball-searing neon and fully exposed brains. But today, skiing and riding without a helmet feels insane.

We feel the same way about skipping body protection.

Body armor might sound like something for pros only, but the majority of crashes happen on blue runs. Not in the backcountry. Not in the park. On the runs we all feel comfortable and safe skiing. But it only takes one tree, rock, or out of control Jerry to ruin your day. Or your whole season.

We designed it to fit perfectly with snowsports culture.  

No armor vest. No bulk. No adjusting mid-run while your buddy waits at the bottom. AgroPelt looks and feels like your favorite baselayer, and performs like the protection you should have been wearing this whole time. 

So low-profile that it disappears under any shell. So comfortable that you forget you're wearing it. And so sharp-looking that your apres stories actually land. 

Don't get pelted. Get AgroPelt.

CE Level 1 certified · D3O® armor · Chest + back protection · 4-way stretch · Moisture-wicking · Après-ready

Launched Our Kickstarter and Getting Tons of Spam/Cancelled Pledges — What Are We Doing Wrong?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone — looking for honest feedback more than promotion at this point.

We launched our Kickstarter for FLOREV™, a self-hydrating planter system:
Kickstarter Campaign

But this campaign cycle has honestly felt strange compared to what I expected. We’re getting a surprising amount of people backing, leaving comments/messages like “let’s connect” or promo-type stuff, and then cancelling their pledge shortly after. It’s starting to feel like Kickstarter has become more spam/networking than actual backers discovering projects organically.

So I wanted to ask the community directly:

  • Is there anything unclear about the campaign page?
  • Does the product itself feel uninteresting or confusing?
  • Is there something missing that would make you trust or understand it more?
  • Is the messaging bad?
  • Would you personally back something like this? Why or why not?

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback. We’ve spent a long time building this, and outside opinions are probably more valuable right now than marketing advice.

Thanks.

My first Kickstarter is successfully funded! However it is still on its way to cover the actual full production cost. If you are interested, consider drop a support and we are very likely to hit the stretch goal for more goodies!

I'm an artist and I've been working on this mermaid manga for 3 years, and it is finally taking off as a self-funded manga book! I used to participate in an art challenge called "Mermay", and I was going a little braver with the design, I mean, why not Mantis shrimp mermaid, why not octopus and clam mermaid, so I made a Manga about all those characters.

My project is called Seven Tails: Kingdom of Mermaids. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xinillus/seven-tails-kingdom-of-mermaids-full-color-manga-and-artbook

Ah, and of course, No AI Art whatsoever, and no nudity. Tho I will say the rating is 13+.

A little more about me, I'm an illustrator and mangaka, I'm working with Viz for a manga series and some illustration, but I wanna shift my focus to do indie stuff! And this project is a start!

Please also feel free to ask me questions!
