Those platforms allow you to love something or be interested in something without spending money to interact with others who are passionate about it. Also, unlike on crowdfunding platforms, I really like that anyone can join the Facebook groups or chat on Twitter, BoardGameGeek, etc. I’m frequently active on social media, but I also like that the Facebook groups are entirely self-sufficient without me. Combined, our groups for Viticulture, Euphoria, Between Two Cities, Scythe, Charterstone, and our treasure chests have over 10,000 members. Specifically, product-specific Facebook groups. While there are many channels for people to know about Stonemaier Games and to interact with me (this blog, e-newsletter, e-mail, Twitter, BoardGameGeek, YouTube, etc), by far the most impactful platform has been Facebook.

In this post I described my plan of how to accomplish these things without Kickstarter. The following are what I consider to be the top 5 purposes of crowdfunding. Instead, I’ve trained myself to look for a pattern of negativity before taking action. Though even that comes with new challenges, as I don’t want to remove someone from a Facebook group just because they had a bad day. The difference now is that I have administrative control.

Human Nature: I still get to see the darker side of human nature among a small number of people on social media.

But I much prefer the current feeling of my most precious resource, time.

I still have deadlines and responsibilities, and I’m still just as averse to vacations as I have been since I went full time in late 2013. Time: I work the same 80-hour workweek I did when I was planning, running, and fulfilling our Kickstarter campaigns.Also, there are great fulfillment companies I trust 100% if I ever need to ship something to a number of people.

In a way, we’ve shifted some of that risk to partners who specialize in shipping specific products, like Top Shelf Gamer and Meeplesource.

Fulfillment Risk: Because we no longer rely on fulfillment centers to send our products to thousands of backers, we’ve completely eliminated any risk involved in this process.

I’ll focus on the top 3 reasons I moved away from crowdfunding and the 5 pillars of Kickstarter. Today Richard Bliss released a new 20-minute podcast chat with me about life after Kickstarter, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share the trials, tribulations, and successes of the last few months for Stonemaier Games. This was a notable announcement because I have Kickstarter to thank for my company’s inception and growth from 2012-2015, plus, well, this blog is about crowdfunding. 5 months ago, I announced that Stonemaier Games would no longer be using crowdfunding or pre-order campaigns.
