* (0:36) Introducing our four guest hosts and setting up the show’s premise.
* (2:59) Welcoming Joanna Gaskell of Standard Action and Starlit Citadel Reviews.

* (6:05) Welcoming Ryan Dancey, currently with Goblinworks.

* (10:29) How is crowdfunding impacting the roleplaying hobby? The usefulness of sites like Kickstarter, not only as a funding tool, but also as a marketing tool.
* (15:03) The distinction between the major crowdfunding sites.
* (19:43) The value of crowdfunding in proving an idea has traction with consumers. Continuing to sell rewards after the original drive has ended, and the value of keeping certain rewards exclusive.
* (27:36) The crappy fulfillment surveys offered by Kickstarter.
* (28:55) Some stats on Kickstarter and what they say about crowdfunding. Why most projects will either fail early or make it all the way to success, while only a small number die in the middle. The bimodality of funds coming in. How successfully funding can cause cash to flow even faster.
* (37:02) How crowdfunding is bringing back a patronage model by allowing people to pay what a product is worth to them, as opposed to what it costs to make. Mikey Mason’s Impotent Nerd Rage.
* (45:57) Whether Matt’s campaigns looked any different, since they were more than just one-time events.
* (51:53) Kickstarter fatigue.
* (56:12) Projects that deliver extremely late or don’t deliver at all. You can find the CNN article here. How success — and stretch goals in particular — can actually sabotage a project’s delivery.
