Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
Gaming Ballistic is proud to announce that the product campaign for Tower of the Moon, a new TFT adventure by David Pulver, will launch this Friday, September 3.
The adventure is written, edited, laid out, the art is complete, and the PDF is hyperlinked. What’s left to do? Nothing. That’s why we’re skipping Kickstarter and jumping right to Backerkit. Right now, this Backerkit Landing Page will allow you to sign up for more notifications, such as when the Backerkit store opens on Friday morning (roughly 8am Central Time). This is an experiment, both to test out the capabilities of Backerkit Launch, as well as to offer “immediate gratification” for products that are finished. This page here on my blog substitutes for the usual campaign page found on Kickstarter. I hope you join me, and spread the word!

Re: Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
The Product Launch campaign for Tower of the Moon, a new 16-page Gothic horror adventure, is now live!
It comes in versions for both The Fantasy Trip and Swords and Wizardry You can browse Gaming Ballistic’s entire product catalog, more or less, on the Backerkit “pre-order” store, as well as select items (in limited quantities) from Steve Jackson Games (dice, GM screen, and some of the core books and sets). There are also a few Dragon Heresy and D&D-based items on sale as well. A few things have come up as we launch this somewhat unique direct-to-Backerkit campaign as we’re an hour or so into it. PDF Availability: There ARE PDFs available for nearly everything. You might just need to scroll down a bit. The Tower of the Moon PDF is way down in the TFT section. At the end, due to the vagaries of the alphabet. International Physical Shipping: There is, regrettably, no international shipping of physical goods for this campaign. Please scroll down to No International Shipping…Yet at the Gaming Ballistic Website for why, and more details on how I hope to navigate this in the future. You can find very (!!) detailed information including live links to all products at the Tower of the Moon Campaign Page on my website. One of the downsides to the Backerkit-only launch is that all the detailed information is in a different place than the web store. To find out more, including live links at the individual item level, jump to the Gaming Ballistic Tower of the Moon Info Page You can also Jump right to the pre-order page I’m really curious to see how this project does, for many reasons, including trying out the "unlockable add-on" feature that might be a key step in dealing with international physical print orders.

Tower of the Moon Shipping and Stock Update
Everyone who has pre-ordered books has their PDFs available by download within a day. Once the orders are locked and cards charged, you can get your files.
That's about it. By the end of next week, with labels and books and boxes and dice in hand, I should be able to clear out most of the orders out. I may even take a few more steps, come to think of it. Thus far, a bit over a week in, we have 250 orders. My goal is to hit around 450, which is 80% of the lowest Kickstarter backer count to date. Obviously more is better. Thoughts to Date Thus far, response has been "wait, it's shipped already?!" which was basically the point. No reviews or comments on the PDF that come to mind yet. Response the first week has been good; not sure I'll get the "last week surge" that is so common with Kickstarter. There's no reason to wait, nor is there really an "ACT NOW!" impetus. Total sales count is critical, so in the end, a short Kickstarter followed by the same Backerkit phase might well be the right answer. Not sure.

Re: Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
We've reached the halfway point in the Tower of the Moon Product Launch.
Almost every order placed to date has already been shipped out, with the exception of the OSR/Swords and Wizardy book, which is still being assembled and revised. All part of an experiment to reduce the time it takes to get product in your hands. Orders are arriving in backers' hands each day, before the campaign is even over. So...working so far! I hope you'll support the little experiment. Thus far, people seem to be pleased. On the Gaming Ballistic Blog, a supporter left this mini review, which is all David and could hope for: Quote:
Check it out! or Jump right to the ORDER page

Re: Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
The Tower of the Moon campaign ends tonight.
However ... I am pleased to report that as soon as I shuttle this current batch of books to USPS, that 100% of packages and PDFs will have gone out to the customers. On the day the campaign ends. That's a record for me. :-)

Re: Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
It’s a really good looking adventure. I’m hoping to get a one shot adventure night on Halloween.

Re: Tower of the Moon: Coming Sept 3 for TFT
I think this is a good choice for a Spooky-Day one-shot.

Agreed; this is an exceptional horror adventure, well suited for dropping into most any campaign.
