When most people think of business financing, they picture walking into a bank and applying for a loan. But traditional bank loans can be tough to qualify for, especially if you’re a new entrepreneur, a small business owner without collateral, or someone with less-than-perfect credit. The good news? There are plenty of business financing alternatives […] The post Business Financing Alternatives Beyond Bank Loans appeared first on SavingK.| SavingK

Kickstarter has had long periods in which it has changed little about how to build, run, and manage post-campaign details. These lulls have been punctuated with major changes. When I got ready to launch the campaign for Six Centuries of Type & Printing earlier this year, I noticed that the company had added and tweaked lots of features. Some may have been in place for a year or more, but I believe only one was available when I launched How Comics Were Made in February 2024.

Western Legends is one of my favourite open-world board games, throwing players into a Wild West sandbox where they’re free to explore and earn fame - or infamy - however they like. You could become a revered bounty hunter, a feared cattle-rustling outlaw, a money-making gold prospector or even a poker star - or a mix of all of these and more. The freedom and variety of Western Legends makes it the closest thing I’ve ever played to a Red Dead Redemption board game, with a simple yet enter...| Dicebreaker Latest Articles Feed

Rather than the hacker-versus-megacorp competition of Netrunner, here the players are on the same side, working toge...| Dicebreaker Latest Articles Feed
