Lanterns

It was a productive weekend for Lanterns: testing the latest version, sending updates to new and existing testers, and getting ready for Gen Con.

After holding a Carcassonne-size box, I realized it was too big for Lanterns. So I made a trip to Madness Games and Comics to study box sizes.

I added my bank account to my Amazon account, and they asked me to upload a bank statement for verification.

My tax profile with Amazon Payments is now complete, one step closer to connecting it to my Kickstarter project.

I am studying a lot of Kickstarter campaign pages. To add some structure to my study I will be gathering stats and writing up my observations on some of them, starting with Yardmaster Express.

Following some good advice in a recent article by Chris Henderson and using a Carcassonne box as a reference, we’re planning to use Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment for handling reward delivery to US backers.

I’m using Roll20 to run remote playtests with Chris and other remote testers. Here are some of my recommendations and the techniques I’m using.

Feedback from PnP play-testers is starting to roll in. It is quite magical to hear feedback from these testers!

Beth finished the first version of the tile artwork last week. I loaded that art into the PnP this weekend.

I’m currently planning to end the campaign on a Thursday afternoon so the 48-hour reminder email goes out on a Tuesday afternoon.
