A Conversation with Kickstarter and Crowdfunding Tabletop Roundup
Earlier this week I got to chat with Asher McClennahan, the head of games at Kickstarter. I was curious to hear how tariffs had affected things like the number of projects launching or being backed, and also whether some of the 'tried-and-true' advice about launching projects is actually true. As far as tariffs go, McClennahan said that there definitely were some publishers who held off on launching projects earlier this year in favor of waiting to see what things would be like later, but the number of games projects launching is still pretty steady. Kickstarter did add a tariff calculator so that project creators could set things up to charge for tariffs later, taking out a little bit of the unknown, and while we don't know what will happen with China tariffs after the 90-day pause, he expects we may see another boom in project launches this fall from all of the publishers who postponed things earlier. And while anecdotally a lot of people said they were hesitant to back projects when tariffs were so high, the numbers show that folks are still backing things about as much as usual. That makes sense to me: the publishers and backers most affected by the high tariffs earlier this year were from the projects that funded last year and were in the process of delivering now—for those, it was generally too late to turn that ship around. For projects launching now, I think the expectation for a lot of backers is that things may be resolved by the time these games hit the water—fingers crossed that they're right! One of the things I've heard from publishers is about ideal windows to launch projects, both in terms of the time of the year and the day of the week. McClennahan said there's a lot of anecdotal advice about avoiding January as a launch date—it's right after the holidays, after all—but he said the numbers don't necessarily support that. Projects that launch in January (and there are still a good number of them) seem to do just as well overall as in other parts of the year. Another launch tradition is that tabletop games generally launch projects on Tuesdays—probably 90% of the Kickstarter games I review launch on Tuesdays, so I asked if there's any data to support that theory. McClennahan told me that the vast majority of games launch on Tuesdays, so it has become a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy: there simply aren't enough game projects that launch on other days of the week to have enough data to say for sure whether other days might even be viable. The good news for tabletop game creators is that people are still out there backing games, and something like 70% of all game projects hit their funding goals. (From my own small sample size, I also know that a lot of creators who didn't fund the first time have found success after making some changes and relaunching later.) Another piece of good news is that it's not just huge projects that are hitting their goals, though those are the ones we tend to hear about the most. Smaller, more niche projects are also getting funded all the time; McClennahan said that Kickstarter's recommendation features seem to work, and backers are able to find the projects that they're interested in. Of course, Kickstarter isn't the only game in town—Backerkit and Gamefound have both had a lot of success in attracting backers and raising funds, and they offer different types of features for both project creators and backers. But it does seem like Kickstarter's first-mover advantage is still pretty strong, and fans of crowdfunded tabletop games haven't stopped looking for games there. With that, I've got a few crowdfunding projects to highlight today—mostly games that I haven't gotten to play yet myself, but things that caught my attention and looked like they could be fun. New to crowdfunding? Check out our crowdfunding primer. My head has been destroyed, but my right arm has a spirit overlay that increases its damage. (Prototype shown) Photo: Jonathan H. Liu Mechromancers by Witchway Games There's only about a week left to go in this campaign for a 2-player card battle game. You play as 'mechromancers,' building spirit-powered robots and pitting them against your rival. You use deck-building to build up more powerful attacks and defensive capabilities, but you can also power up the parts of your robot with Soul Overlays (transparent cards that boost the part in various ways). When a part loses all its health, the mechanical part is destroyed but the spirit remains, giving you more spirit points for abilities and upgrades … but if all four parts are destroyed, you lose. I did get to try a prototype of the game, and I liked the various ways you can build up your bot: will you go strong on offense or shield up? Or maybe you try to get some more card draws so you're ready for whatever your opponent throws at you? The artwork has a cartoon feel, and the transparent overlays are a nice touch too. There aren't any ways to repair damage and the game ramps up as parts get destroyed, so each fight is pretty quick and then you can reset and try again! Paperback Adventures Volume 2 from Tim Fowers Paperback Adventures is a deck-building, word-making, rogue-like game where you spell words to battle monsters and eventually face off against various bosses. I reviewed the first volume back in 2021 when it was on Kickstarter, and Tim Fowers now has a second volume launching on Gamefound. It adds one new character, Iron Knee (each character has their own unique deck and abilities), and also introduces the Binding Nexus that lets up to 4 people play together. The original was for 1 or 2 players, though the 2-player mode still felt mostly like two people playing a solo game next to each other. I'm curious to see how Binding Nexus mixes things up! Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid from Maestro Games The mobile game Clash of Clans already made the jump to a graphic novel series (I just wrote about the latest book earlier this week), and now it's also going to be a tabletop game! Alas, I haven't gotten a chance to try this one at all, but it's designed by Eric Lang and Ken Gruhl, and includes both elements of building up your town and army and sending raids to your opponents' towns. There's a ton of optional add-ons so it's definitely not a cheap game, but looks like it could be fun! Pet Names from Pink Tiger Games This is the eighth game from Pink Tiger Games, a company started by my friend Ami Baio with games that are all about conversations and being kind. Pet Names gives you a bunch of cards to mix and match to create cute nicknames for your friends, scoring points if you can come up with the favorite of the round. The game also comes with a little plush fox bag to carry the cards! Trouble on the Tempus from Minor Disaster Games This campaign only has about a day left to go—if only you could time travel to give yourself more time to think! In the game, that's exactly what you get to do: you're on a spaceship trying to repair the Hyperdrive, dealing with a series of disasters. But if things get too hairy, you can time travel back to the beginning and try again … except now there's a new paradox in the disaster deck. I'm a sucker for time travel stories, and I really like the way this one handles the concept: all the disaster cards will be in the same order, so if your team can remember the order of the disasters, you should be able to plan for them. But if you time travel too much, you'll tear time itself apart. Casual Game Insider It's hard to believe that Casual Game Insider is preparing for their fourteenth year! I remember when they first launched, there wasn't a common industry term for quick, accessible games, but now I talk about casual games all the time. The quarterly magazine is switching to digital-only this year, and includes spotlights on some cool games, interviews with various folks in the game industry, and everything from tips on hosting a game night to attending your first gaming convention. Each issue also has a free game included—though I guess with the digital magazine you'll need to print it out yourself. Liked it? Take a second to support GeekDad and GeekMom on Patreon!

Headfirst Launches Stylish Bike Helmet and Achieves First Crowdfunding Milestone
Dutch innovative helmet combines perfect fit, smart brake light and multi-impact protection for the modern rider. Too big, uncomfortable and unattractive – the traditional bike helmet doesn't appeal to the modern cyclist. With the rise of e-bikes and a new generation of urban cyclists, there's a growing need for a helmet that does more than just protect. Dutch brand headfirst offers this solution by reinventing the bike helmet with their Echo Pro: a stylish accessory that offers better protection and matches the style of today's urban cyclist. The company's Kickstarter campaign reached its first funding goal within a week of launch, demonstrating strong market demand for innovative cycling safety solutions. Patented SafeFit technology revolutionizes helmet design Nearly 35% of adults and 95% of children wear poorly fitting bike helmets, reducing protection effectiveness by up to 50% (Source PMC). headfirst addresses this critical safety gap with breakthrough technology that ensures optimal fit while delivering the style and comfort modern cyclists demand. The innovative system makes adjusting the helmet's fit as simple as styling hair - simply push the helmet onto the head to secure it and press both thumb buttons to release. The helmet is suitable for any head type, fits immediately and stays firmly in place – a common pain point with existing helmets. This innovative approach adapts to different head shapes and sizes, allowing the helmet to grow with children from age 4 through their teenage years. Initial testing demonstrates that the SafeFit technology provides twice the protection effectiveness at the back of the head compared to conventional helmet designs, addressing a critical vulnerability in traditional cycling safety equipment. "Traditional helmets are often too large, uncomfortable, and visually unappealing," explains Daan Zoetmulder, founder of headfirst helmets. "With the Echo Pro, we wanted to create a helmet that looks as good as it protects. We believe that the safest helmet is the one people actually want to wear." Multi-impact meets smart technology Designed for the modern and commuter lifestyle, the Echo Pro serves as a comprehensive safety solution for cycling, skating, and scooting. The helmet incorporates advanced multi-impact EPP materials instead of traditional EPS foam, allowing it to withstand multiple light impacts. As safety remains the primary concern, the helmet requires replacement after serious impacts or when visible damage occurs to the outer shell. The integrated smart brake light system represents another technological breakthrough. Motion sensors automatically activate a bright rear signal when the rider brakes, enhancing visibility in dense urban traffic during both day and night conditions. The system operates autonomously, requiring no user intervention while significantly improving cyclist safety. Sustainability innovation drive material choices Environmental responsibility influences headfirst's manufacturing processes. The Echo Pro incorporates recycled materials, including chin straps made from repurposed fabrics. The modular design enables easy component replacement and end-of-life recycling, reducing waste while extending product lifespan. Dutch design excellence through strategic partnerships headfirst developed the Echo Pro through collaboration with award-winning APE Design Studio and manufacturing partnership with Strategic Sports, the world's largest helmet manufacturer. This combination ensures production quality and global distribution capabilities while maintaining innovative design vision. The Amsterdam-based approach reflects Dutch cycling culture's emphasis on practical elegance, creating a product that seamlessly integrates safety functionality with contemporary urban aesthetics. The helmet's clean lines and sophisticated color options appeal to style-conscious cyclists who previously avoided traditional helmet designs. The Kickstarter campaign's rapid success validates strong consumer demand for innovative cycling safety solutions. Early backers receive significant discounts, with retail availability planned for November 2025 at $169. About headfirst headfirst creates innovative cycling safety equipment combining superior protection with contemporary design and sustainable materials. Based in Amsterdam, the company develops products for modern urban cyclists who demand both safety and style.

Kickstarter Review: The Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition
I (not so) fondly remember summer school typing classes, where I had to labor to learn touch typing on an old-fashioned typewriter. No word processor for me; if I made a mistake, it would be Liquid Paper brushed on and waiting for it to dry before I could continue my keystrokes. Despite my irritation at being stuck in a classroom in July as a teenager, this skill I was learning would later prove invaluable, especially as I turned to screenwriting. Though by the time I had become a professional writer, I no longer had to worry about making mistakes…if I misspelled something, all I had to do was hit the 'backspace' or 'delete' keys on the computer, and those mistakes were magically erased. As I entered the world of computers, one thing that I missed was the feeling of the old typewriter keyboards. There was always something so satisfying and responsive of the feel of the keys as you struck them. Which is why I turned to mechanical keyboardards for my writing. These keyboards with their Cherry mechanical switches just felt better, like the keyboards of old even though they resembled any old standard computer keyboard. Enter the Qwerkywriter. This mechanical keyboard hearkens back to the manual typewriters of old, yet contains a ton of modern sensibilities. And now, on the 10th anniversary of their original keyboard, Qwerkytoys has a Kickstarter campaign for a brand new Qwerkywriter keyboard. Creator Brian Min recently sent me a prototype of the keyboard to try out for myself. What Is the Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition? The Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition is a Bluetooth/USB-C mechanical computer keyboard designed to look like a typewriter. It has an earlybird pledge of $199, or a standard pledge of $219, and is currently available to pledge for on Kickstarter, with an estimated ship date of November 2025. The campaign will run until July 8th. Here's a look at the Qwerkywriter Anniversary Edition's features, as compared to the original Qwerkywriter: Original Kickstarter Qwerkywriter vs 10th Anniversary Qwerkywriter. Image by Qwerkytoys. New to Kickstarter? Check out our crowdfunding primer. The prototype box. Image by Paul Benson. Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition Components I received a prototype of the keyboard, as well as a Qwerkywriter wrist rest. Even though it's a prototype, the creator assures me that what I received is 99% close to what backers will receive upon campaign fulfillment. Along with the Qwerkywriter keyboard and wrist rest, there was also included a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a keycap puller tool. Everything in the box. Image by Paul Benson. The keyboard has a nice heft and solidity to it, thanks to the aluminum chassis. It definitely is a visually striking peripheral, but as anyone who does a lot of writing knows, it's not just appearances, it's how the keyboard feels and responds that is ultimately the most important. Though as this is a computer keyboard that looks like a typewriter and not a typewriter keyboard, functionality is also a very important aspect. Thankfully, as we'll see below, the Qwerkywriter delivers in both regards. Using the Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition Note: This review was written using the Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition. First things first: typing on the Qwerkywriter is a very satisfying experience. The mechanical keys used are Cherry MX2A Speed Silver Switches, which have the fastest actuation force that Cherry has every produced, and are factory lubricated. What does that mean in practice? The keys are highly responsive, with just a slight bit of pressure to register a keystroke leading to a faster typing speed. Also, while there is still a bit of clack, this is far from a loud keyboard. For anyone that enjoys a nice loud clack, Cherry blue switches will be offered as add-ons during the campaign. The switches can be hot-swapped, so it should be a fairly simple process to trade the switches out if you don't like the Speed Silver ones. Features-wise, Qwerkytoys has done a nice job of taking some of the parts of a traditional typewriter and repurposing them for use in a modern keyboard. The two cylinder knobs have been re-tasked as volume and scroll dials. The carriage return lever by default doubles as an 'Enter' key, but can be reprogrammed as a Macro of up to 15 characters. And the paper feed is actually a stand for tablets and phones. A closer look at the return bar and the keys. Image by Paul Benson. My computer doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, so I simply had to connect the USB cord to the Qwerkywriter keyboard and start typing. However, I did pair it with my iPhone via Bluetooth, which was an effortless process. When paired with a Bluetooth device, the keyboard can be operated off of its built-in battery, which is rated for 1-2 months of life before recharging. For better or worse, there are no wireless options with the Qwerkywriter. Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition – Final Thoughts As a writer, I've been very satisfied using the Qwerkywriter 10 Year Anniversary keyboard. The keys are extremely responsive, and despite its retro typewriter appearance, the keyboard has all the features you'd expect from a modern keyboard. It doesn't come with a ten-key, but the $100K stretch goal for the campaign is a 'Numkey' that will be built that matches the Qwerkywriter. Granted, with the Qwerkywriter you're not going to get all the fancy lighting that you'll find in gamer keyboards. However, you get your flash in other ways with the Qwerkywriter keyboard. Its appearance is one of old-fashioned elegance, from the rounded keys to the all-metal body. And despite the black finish on the keyboard, it doesn't show any smudges or fingerprints. The Bluetooth functionality allows you to pair it with multiple devices, for your convenience. And finally, using the keyboard is just fun, especially for those of us that remember using actual typewriters. All it's missing is the old 'ding' of the carriage return. For more information or to make a pledge, head to the Qwerkywriter Typewriter Keyboard 10 Year Anniversary Edition Kickstarter Campaign Page. Qwerkytoys provided a unit for evaluation, but had no input into this review. Liked it? Take a second to support GeekDad and GeekMom on Patreon!
