The toil is at an end! At least partially...
Around a month ago I began collecting the data on RPG related Kickstarter projects from around the net. In the end I dumped onto a spreadsheet a year's worth of data totaling 150 projects. Then I began crunching numbers to see what larger patterns are at work in the RPG crowdfunding world.
I've finished part one which looks at the larger patterns, such as the average backing for RPG related material is $45, rather than the $70 for Kickstarter as a whole.
You can see the report here, beware... it's long (http://www.geekindustrialcomplex.com/articles/crowdfunding-report-part-1).
Part two of the report is still under construction. That will looking more closing at the various bands of backing and goal tiers from the survey.
Hopefully this will help people as they map out their own projects.
