It's a very cool game and the potential audience is there, just gotta find the way to reach them.

I'm in no way a ttrpg creator myself so take what I say with a grain of salt ofc. I think the funding goal is fine, it's not absurdly high given the size of the book. I think what helps is trying to get the word out either through other creators or maybe online publications that deal with ttrpgs.

I've seen some kickstarters fail on the first go but have success upon trying a second time with a different strategy for getting the word out, maybe that's what the project needs?

I even had a diagnosis of autism while following the project, in a way I've also gone through a journey of my own during this project's founding

Happy Friday! We need just $1,150 more to reach our funding goal. So we might just do it today! If you haven’t pledged yet, _you_ can push us over the top. Ensure this book becomes a reality! Get some queerness in your sword & sorcery and vice versa.

Thank you for creating such a project honestly. It's become my hyperfixation honestly 😆

The Kickstarter algorithm hasn't blessed this game (yet). Do you have any plans for a relaunch of the campaign if that happens to be needed? (I will back it again in a heartbeat, as many times as needed)

In Defy the Gods, you play a silver-tongued Sailor, chaos-loving Sorcerer, deadly Sword, fugitive Revenant, immortal-sworn Vessel or wild-raised Wolfling. Each has their own unique talents, flaws & arc of glorious doom. Read more about them here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

Dooms in 1 post: If you roll too high, you mark 🔥. Max out your Fire Track & likely get a Doom. Like Epithets, they describe who you are, but in your most severe aspect. Plus they overwrite your Epithets. When you eclipse all your Epithets w/ Dooms, your PC becomes an NPC. tinyurl.com/defy-the-gods
