Welcome to another week of record-breaking results. The past week saw 8 projects successfully fund, led by the all-time highest funding game project, D-Day Dice. If you didn’t get to back D-Day Dice then you were one of the few people still living without Internet access. In the final 12 hours before D-Day ended its funding it was receiving pledges at nearly $2,000 an hour. Be sure to check out the Purple Pawn interview that Sam Mercer conducted with Emmanual Aquin, designer of D-Day Dice
With D-Day setting the record for all-time funding, it lifted December’s total funding to $345,000 with three weeks still to go in the month. December is on pace to successfully fund more than $500,000 for the month, which would set another funding record for a single month.
We welcome 12 new projects to the list this week for a total of 59 active projects. This next week is going to be a good one with two projects already in the top 10 all-time funding for board games, Kings of Air and Steam, and Schlock Mercenary.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
For what it’s worth, my story game cyberpunk-action-adventure project, Always/Never/Now, was also funded via Kickstarter recently. We’ve got additional milestones unfolding even now and the campaign continues until January 8th. Purple Pawn was a great source of information for me as I prepared A/N/N for launch, so I also want to thank you. So: thank you!
Will, we have Always/Never/Now listed in this weeks roundup. Good luck.
Many thanks!
