Open Call season is here with the return of Witchstarter!

It’s Open Call season at Kickstarter!

Kickstarter’s Open Calls are where we invite creators to launch campaigns around select themes. Use them as creative inspiration and to get your work in front of a community of enthusiasts. Throughout the month of each open call, we give an extra promotional boost to projects that follow the theme.

This October, we’re kicking off Open Call season with the highly anticipated return of Witchstarter for its second year! As many of you may remember, last year's Open Call saw a diverse and imaginative range of projects launched, including stunning art pieces, captivating fantasy novels, beautifully illustrated tarot decks, engaging point-and-click games, and beginner-friendly Tabletop RPGs.

We can't wait to see what this year's talented creators have in store for us! Launch a Magic and Divination project throughout October to take part in our biggest open call ever as Witchstarter projects span every single Kickstarter category.

Here’s how you can get involved with Witchstarter:

  • As long as your project is live in October, we’ll give you an extra boost of promotion.
  • Read our guides for tips and best practices for running a campaign.


Throughout October, we’ll promote projects in Kickstarter newsletters, throughout the site, on social media, and more.

We can’t wait to see what you conjure up!
