I've recently launched the first of what will be a series of short (~3 weeks long each) Kickstarter campaigns.
Link to Kickstarter page: Battlegrounds Content Drive #1
Start date: June 25, 2016
End Date: July 18, 2016
In addition to the great new content being funded by this project, the campaign should be of interest to a number of you because the Battlegrounds software itself is currently available at a decent discount. Why should BGDF readers care?
Game Designers and Game Publishers Create digital prototypes of your games, then playtest them online with gamers anywhere in the world. Run live game demos. Offer a digital version of your game as a Backer Reward in your Kickstarter campaigns, or to let potential backers try the game out before pledging.
Gamers who like to play boardgames with their friends online Play live games online with up to 16 participants. Easily and quickly create digital conversions of your favorite boardgames and card games with Battlegrounds' robust toolset.
Solo gamers Play your favorite solitaire games on your computer, leaving the kitchen table free. Have loads of fun porting your favorite games, like this guy does.
A $17 pledge is all it takes to get a BGE license for game sessions with up to 4 players (a 15% savings off the regular $20 price). And that BGE license can later be upgraded to accommodate more players, if needed.
Not convinced yet? Check out the 22 digital game conversions for BGE that you can download for free, and the handful of games that are available for purchase.
Just 10 days remaining in the campaign! It's not too late to turn things around.
Video Update 1 has just been posted. Please watch it, especially if you’ve decided not to support the campaign. You might just change your mind.
