Hi everyone!

Looks like we're starting to pick up a little bit of steam! The last couple of days have seen some really nice progress, not just in the number of backers discovering and joining the campaign, but we're also covering some good ground behind the curtains! The most obvious sign of progress was unlocking the $60k stretch goal last night! Woot!

Both maps are still being illustrated, so the shown artwork is not final, but here's a small sample of the Wartorn Village in progress:

Hexes are 1" from flat-side to flat-side. The full map is 24" x 36".

You may notice that the unlock graphic says that the map is included free with all "Game Tiers" -- those that include the Core Rulebook or Deluxe Box. That is merely because this item is specifically useful for those wishing to play the game, and they have no real use or value to anyone at the Omnibus-only tiers, unlike the art prints, patches, coins, and other cool ancillary bonuses in the chart that anyone can appreciate. But fear not -- we're already just a stones-throw away from unlocking the next art print for all physical tiers (including Omnibus-only)! Just a couple $k to go...!

MINIS ARE MOLD-READY!

Our manufacturer has also been working overtime on the core boxed items, and we recently received pix of all of the miniature "red samples" -- 3D printed plastic "final versions" of the cleaned and precisely scaled models with uniform 1" hex bases added, and in some cases segmented for more efficient casting and assembly. The details on these things are outstanding!

Here's a screenshot from a recent conference call showing the giant Cannon Walker next to some of the other figures for scale reference... it's HUGE! The Walker will come in two pieces not only to fit into the box but also so that the turret can rotate during gameplay! 😎

Now that these final prototypes have been approved, they have started casting the final molds. That process takes about 2 weeks, but that has all been factored into our schedule... things are on track and happening as planned!

We'll hopefully start seeing a lot of things come together quickly as we reach the end of the campaign and start of mass production.  We'll definitely share any cool pix and info along the way!

In the meantime, please keep spreading the word and talking about the project... we're slowly gaining new attention, and there's a lot that can happen in these last 2 weeks!

Thanks, everyone!

Spinner Coin Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 18, 2021 at 11:14:08 PM

Hi everyone!

You did it! I won't say "finally" (although I guess I just did), but WHOOHOO! We've unlocked the Coin of Fate! 😃

For those of you who have backed any of our previous campaigns, you know that these are nice, hefty, quality collectible coinage. But as nice as our previous collectibles have been, these will actually provide extra functionality -- not only can you use it as a "2-sided dice" (flip a coin, you get it), but it will also function as a spinner for 360-degrees of circular selections. The ancient coin side will have a raised nub in the center allowing you to spin it like a very shallow top so that the arrow in the Eye of Fate can point to whatever random things you are choosing between.  We'll even provide some print-at-home spinner cards to play with (eg. random letter selector, undecided action determination, etc).

Like our other campaign coins, these will only be produced for this Kickstarter campaign! So if you're reading this update but still haven't backed, you better get in on this while the getting is good!

The next several Stretch Goals are much closer together -- about every $10k from here up for a little while will bring another new item to the table. Hopefully, with just under 3 weeks to go, we can pick up some more momentum and unlock a bunch more free stuff!

Thanks, everyone! Keep spreading the word!
