Really excited to see what you got going on here. As someone who does RPG community-making stuff in NYC on a pretty small scale (I'm in Discords, I have a WhatsApp community, I do some shop-DMing), I'm totally curious about how to make logistics and events better and easier, and am glad you're putting together the tools for it!
Thanks for all your work! I'm watching the Kickstarter, big time!
Will TinyCon have a ticket sales system? One of our biggest issue at TCTC is that we need to sell tickets in canadian dollars and few of the systems allow that. Also what sort of pricing structure are you looking at? Per attendee fees? Per transaction?
We won't have ticket sales at launch. We're looking at can we enable ticket sales and not be in the middle. Can we use Stripe/Paypal/Whatever API to make sales happen directly to the Event Host's accounts. You'll still have whatever transaction fees those systems have, but nothing extra from us. Our costs will be covered by the Kickstarter for the year. This is a new area for us, but if it's a solved problem already, we could have ticket sales up and running in year one. Sales in non-usd I've added to our "Look at this!" list, thank you for bringing it up!
Ha! TIL: Stripe is a the current strong contender so far! it'll handle pass-thru transactions and we won't incur a fee. You/hosts will have Stripes normal transaction fees. AND they have options for handling transactions in native currency!
