I've been directed to some blogs about the things to do before launching a Kickstarter, but call me skeptical. Most are "Start a blog and respond to other bloggers."
Seems like a bunch of bloggers trying to convince others that blogging is relevant.
I've got the game down, now for the art, the titling (both Crafting Dead and Combiner Wars are taken), the rule book (after the card art is done), the printing details and contract and get it out there.
Kickstarter itself could be the distribution hub and pay for the art assets. So really, the title and printing company.
My game isn't some superheavy Scythe. It's more like Munchkin or Flux.
