Backerkit smoke test is live!

We're one step closer. I started the Backerkit smoke test today.
What does that mean? Basically, I've invited about 5% of the folks who backed this to fill out their backerkit surveys, choose add-ons, and pay for their shipping. This lets me make sure everything is set up right before sending it out to everyone. Once things look like they're going smoothly, everyone else will get their survey!
And hey, are you interested in having a brand new game that is geared specifically towards the figures you just bought? What if it was only $5?
The Tempe of Cyytok is a miniatures agnostic skirmish game, but the Battlers you backed work perfectly for it. We actually based the game on the minis.
It's part of Zinequest. It's a 23 x 17 fold out pamphlet with the rules on one side and the battlemap on the other. It also comes with cut out tokens and 3d terrain!
If you want to get into the battle, you can find it here.
Talk soon,

Hey, everyone! Thanks so much for supporting this campaign! It went well enough that we'll definitely be doing more of these guys in the future. We're so excited!
So here is where things stand-
The files are with the manufacturer. We have an order in. The main thing that will affect time now is if they can get them finished by Chinese New Year or not. Crossing my fingers!
I'll start working on the Backerkit for this tomorrow. We hope to launch the pledge manager sooner rather than later so you can pay for shipping and get your stuff.
We have another campaign coming up on the 1st of February for Zine Quest! I have a feeling the backers of this campaign are gonna dig it a lot. Let's just say it'll give you a reason to use the minis you just bought. Once the preview page is live, I'll send a link.
Other than that, relax and we'll reach out when there are more steps to take. Thanks again, you beautiful folks. We'll be in touch!

So much big news!

Today has certainly been a day!
With the Kickstarter creeping into it's final days, we have a pretty good idea of the count at this point. Chinese New Year is coming up at the end of the month and we really want to get these minis in your hands. In the interest of getting the ball rolling as soon as possible, we placed the order for them today!
Yeah, that's right. If all goes well (and I can't promise it will - we are cutting it close), we'll have these in our hands before the KSer funds clear. Looks like I should start setting up the Backerkit for this campaign!
After some back and forth with them, we've settled on the background colors for the minis.
I'm petty thrilled with where we ended up.
I'll keep you all posted as things move along, but hopefully it's gonna be a quick trip. Thanks again for all your support!

Heroes of Yore, Unveiled!

Mustafa has sent us the final files for the Heroes of Yore and their Men at Arms.
I am in love.
There's not too much left for us to do before they're ready for the manufacturer. The goal is to get the designs to them right when the KSer ends so we can get these minis in your hands (and ours).
Personally, the thief is my favorite.
Absolutely love what the cloak is doing. I think she'll be the best of the bunch.
Thanks again for all the support, folks. We're about halfway to the end of the campaign and it's been great. Hit me up with any questions.

You really did it now. 😤

You've done it. You've unleashed the Goblin Horde of the Underdeep. I can not be held responsible for the havoc they unleash.
Then again, you've also managed to rescue our Heroes of Yore! Hopefully they will be stalwart enough to hold back this evil.
We're funded!
This is great news. We have a few designs to finalize, but we're hoping for a real quick turn around with these dudes.
Thank you so much for your support, folks. It's always nice to get the stressful part out of the way in the first hour. I'm excited to get these into your hands!
