Inside the Friday field guide

Format guide, not a sent issue. Your actual campaign picks follow your saved game systems and section choices. This page explains the sections; it is not a live campaign roundup.

New campaigns

Recently launched projects and campaigns new to the radar, grouped by game system. Each card distinguishes a verified launch date from the date we first discovered it. A campaign added this week may have launched earlier.

Trending

Live projects with measured funding momentum: percentage pledge growth per day between recent source checks. Cards show the growth and observation period. We need at least two same-currency observations, at least 12 hours apart, and a latest check within 48 hours. If evidence is missing, we say so. Sponsorship does not change this ranking.

Ending soon

Matching campaigns closing in the next seven days, ordered by deadline within each system. A project already featured in another section is not repeated; its card still shows its closing date.

Discovery picks

More live campaigns for your systems, rotated weekly for variety. These picks are an invitation to explore, rather than a popularity ranking. Each section can include multiple examples per system, plus links to browse more.

Sponsor spotlight

A paid partner, when booked, appears in a clearly labeled shared advertising placement. Otherwise, we show an invitation to sponsor a future issue. Paying for a placement does not change campaign facts or organic funding rankings.

Sources and preferences

Campaign cards link to the campaign source and state whether AI art is disclosed. Missing statements remain Not stated. Your private email footer includes a preferences link and an unsubscribe link. Only confirmed, active subscribers receive issues; quiet weeks with no matching campaigns are skipped.
