Status of Zero Dark

The current status is that, after I had my report back from my rules-reader (like a proof reader, but just for rules) I decided to make a few mechanical changes, but otherwise had the game signed off as finished, writing-wise.

I am currently pondering my best release strategy for the game. I'd really like it to be a proper, illustrated, hardback book to accompany its sister set, Horizon Wars. But that requires more money than I can reasonably spend, so I need finance, but I don't have the time or resources to run a decent crowdfunder and feel stupid running a crowdfunder for the funds to run a crowdfunder.

I'm open to suggestions. Currently, I have something of a convoluted plan that actually involves my other game, Ballmonsters. Ballmonsters is a comedy fantasy sports game. There is a local manufacturer selling the range of miniatures for which it was originally designed and I'm considering buying those off him to run a kickstarter to put the game and rules - basically illustrated by me - into production in sufficient volume to cover the costs of purchasing and manufacturing the Ballmonsters and providing enough profit that I can pay an editor and artist to turn Zero Dark into a product good enough to actually kickstart.

Alternatively, I could do the world's most basic kickstarter: a video of me explaining the game and begging you for enough money to make it a reality.

Meanwhile, I also have to hold down a full-time job, look after my family and study for my next exams...
