I'm currently running my first board game project on Kickstarter (which is about midway through its campaign right now). Getting to this point was a long and difficult road. In an effort to give back to the community of bloggers, gamers, tutorial-writers, etc. which helped me figure out the complicated process of preparing for a Kickstarter campaign, I have decided to create a video blog series called Let's Kickstart This Thing!
Let's Kickstart This Thing! is a series of short, 5-minute (or less) videos in which I attempt to detail all the steps involved in bringing a board game from prototype to production via Kickstarter. I am outlining, step-by-step, everything that I did to prepare for my campaign - starting from the initial paper prototype. I make no guarantee that the order in which I did things is the best, but I will talk about the pros and cons of each step as well as the lessons I learned along the way. I published the first 9 videos recently and will be publishing 2 more this evening. I will try to release new content every few days.

Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for topics that you would like me to cover. Thank you!
