Latest Updates from Our Project:

Pledges Locked!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 12:58:41 AM

Pledges are Officially Locked!

We know that selecting from over a thousand different Skinny Minis was difficult, so kudos to you for making the hard choices. This step was crucial in setting up production so we can send out your orders as soon as possible, so thank you all so much for finalizing your orders!

We will start charging credit cards for any pending balances on Monday, January 31st. Charges will appear on your bank statement as being made by DUNGEON IN A BOX.


What's Next?

INCOMPLETE ORDERS. Our review process showed that a number of backers have not spent all their credit before the order lock date. We are unlocking these orders to allow backers to use their remaining balance.

We will not be shipping orders if you have outstanding credit left on your account. If you have unspent credit, please make sure to email us at [email protected]. Incomplete orders will be held until they are completed to ensure all correct items are sent to the backer.

ADDRESSES. While your orders have been locked, it is still possible to update your shipping address. If you need to change your address, please do so via BackerKit. Once we have a precise estimate for the shipping date, we will announce a cutoff date for changing addresses.

DIGITAL TOKENS. We are in the process of producing our digital tokens and preparing them for distribution. There are thousands of tokens to prep, and we expect to be able to release them within the next couple months. The digital files will be released through BackerKit, via download link. More details to come on this in the near future. 

PHYSICAL PRODUCTION. We'll be keeping you all in the loop with regular updates as our physical production continues to spin up. Keep an eye out for more updates!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your pledge, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]

Last Chance - Pledge Manager Closes Jan. 24th!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Jan 21, 2022 at 10:04:58 PM

Pledge Manager Closing Soon!

We'll be closing the BackerKit Pledge Manager on Monday, January 24th - so this is your last chance to pick your sets you want! 

If you haven't picked your sets by this deadline, we can't guarantee that you'll be able to get all the sets you want, or that they will arrive by the estimated shipping date. In other words, it's important :) 

Please make sure to finish your BackerKit surveys, check your addresses, and update your payment options to help us set up a smooth ending to the pledge manager! 

If you haven't logged into the pledge manager yet, you should have received an email from BackerKit earlier this week with the subject line "Reminder -- Response needed".


What's Next?

Once we lock orders, we'll be going over them to double-check that everything is as it should be. If we find issues, we'll reach out to you via email from [email protected], and work with you to troubleshoot any potential issues.

On January 31, we will be charging the cards you've put on file. If you added any additional purchases to your initial pledge in BackerKit, this is when you will be charged. The name of the charge on your statement will be coming from "DUNGEON IN A BOX", so keep an eye out for that!

We are excited to see this project move to the next phase! We won't be posting quite as often, but rest assured, we'll still be hard at work. And when we do have a chance to update you on where we're at, we certainly will.


Last Call For Add-Ons!

In case you missed it, we added a lot of cool new things to the Pledge Manager that weren't available during the Kickstarter. This is your last chance to get these at Kickstarter prices - so check'em out if you haven't yet!

  • XL Dragon Mount
  • XL Brain Eater Dragon
  • Stone Bridge Terrain
  • All Huge-sized Skinny Minis available ala cart (War Elephant, Battleforged Titan, Frost Giant Skeleton, Jabberwock & Nightwalker)

All these sets are listed in the Pledge Manager, including pictures, for your perusal.


XL Dragon Mount says, "Pledge before it's too late!"

We're grateful for everyone's commitment to seeing this project succeed, and we're so glad you've enjoyed the new add-ons we've included in BackerKit! 

As always, if you have questions or concerns - please email us at [email protected]

ART UPDATE: Spell Effects Area Templates
over 2 years ago – Sat, Jan 15, 2022 at 12:36:16 AM

Ten Days till Orders Lock on January 24!

Just a reminder that if you haven't selected your sets yet, you need to do so! While we did extend the deadline a bit, we'll be locking down orders in ten days. If you're having trouble with your set selection, please reach out to us at [email protected].

New Art: Area Templates

Spell Effects Area Templates are ready for viewing! Whatever your needs are for persistent spell effects, we've got you covered! And all spells come full circle (or square) even if a segment or two are shown below.

This add-on is massive, including six 1" inch diameter tokens (representing 5 feet diameter in-game),  circle templates at 1 inch (5 feet), 2 inches (10 feet), 3 inches (15 feet), 4 inches (20 feet), and 6 inches (30 feet) in radius, and square templates with 1 inch (5 feet), 2 inch (10 feet), 4 inch (20 feet), and 6 inch (30 feet) sides.

The Area Templates add-on comes with reversible fronts/backs (with different spells on each side) and is available in the ADD-ONS / SPELL EFFECTS section of the Pledge Manager for $22.

Side A
Side B

Spell Effects: Wall Spells

While we don't have the final art for this add-on yet, this should help give you a better idea of what the Wall Spells will work and look like. Each wall spell is made up of square segments with 2 inch (representing 10 feet)t x 10 foot (2" x 2") sides.

The Wall Spells add-on comes is available in the ADD-ONS / SPELL EFFECTS section of the Pledge Manager for $27.

In Case You Missed It: Huge Add-ons

Near the start of the Pledge Manager, we created individual add-on products for each of the huge minis from the stretch goals. They still are part of the Kickstarter 2 Freebies add-on set, but if you wanted another multiple T-Rex Mounts for when your polymorphing spellcasters go nuts, this option just makes it easier for you.

Each huge mini is available in the KICKSTARTER 2 / STRETCH GOALS section of the Pledge Manager for $5 each.

Previous Pledge Manager Updates

In case you missed it, we've added quite a few new things to the Pledge Manager since the Kickstarter ended. Here's a quick summary:

New: Bridge Terrain 

New: XL Brain Eater Dragon 

Updated: Tavern Terrain 

New: XL Flying Dragon Mount 

Skinny Minis Subscription: Dragons of Wonder

We've officially finished all the art for the Dragons of Wonder set voted on last November! We'll start production, and subscribers will get their lovely dragons in March.

Pledge Manger Date Extension + Huge Update (New Minis and Art!)
over 2 years ago – Fri, Jan 07, 2022 at 08:01:28 PM

Hope everyone's having a fantastic New Year! We got a MASSIVE update for you today, so let's dive in!

Pledge Manager Extension

As of today, around 85% of backers have finished making their selections, which means that over 500 backers still need to select their sets. The good news is, we're pushing it back the order lock date to January 24. Remember, you must select all your sets before this date, or we cannot guarantee you'll receive your order!

This should give everyone enough time to update or add any of new offers to their order - such as the XL Dragon Mount we debuted in the last update. 

Don't worry - this won't affect our fulfillment date. We just want to make sure we have as accurate as possible information on how many sets we will need to produce. If you haven't made your selections yet, please do so ASAP!


Mimic Set 1 & 2 Preview

You may recall that the Mimic Set 1 & 2 were voted into existence by your fellow backers during the campaign.  We have a good chunk of art for these sets finished, which you can check out below.

All the mimics in these sets come with the "normal front / mimic back" design. Remember that we also offer the Ordinary Objects 1 & 2 sets - which are identical to the mimic set but have "normal front / normal back." 

They're just PERFECT to instill paranoia in your players. We'll share the rest of the art when they're finished, but we think your inner DM will be happy with this update. Your players may not be as thrilled.


Front and Back Mimic Art

We're excited to announce our new Skinny Mini Bridge Terrain hitting the Pledge Manager! We've got our hands on a prototype, and we hope you'll agree with us (and the Valiant Floof Knight) that it's looking fantastic! Built from extra thick 3mm material for added durability. 

Available in the Pledge Manager now!


Some of you Skinny Mini Subscription Club members will notice that the infamous new "Brain Eater Dragon" wasn't included in the voting. We were so taken by the newly released Eldritch abomination that we knew there was no way we could pass it up. 

This evil brain monster / dragon hybrid will be produced as an XL Skinny Mini, and now available to everyone in the Pledge Manager. Add it to your order before January 24th - and terrorize your table!

(By the way - if you haven't joined the SMSC, you can sign up for the next round of voting here: https://skinny-minis.com/pages/skinny-minis-subscription-club)

Gem Dragons

Step aside, chromatics and metallics. Another set of proud, ancient beings is here to leave their mark on history. We are now happy to show off the full, finalized art for the Gem Dragon Set. Check it out below!

 Tavern Terrain - Set Upgrade!

After reviewing this set, we realized we could squeeze even more terrain in, as well as add some art upgrades. We've added a table, two sacks, and two barrels to this set, and reduced the number of stools from 11 (too many) to a more practical seven.

In addition, all the tables and the bar now have reversible sides. One side features place settings and food, and the other features a plain wood design for a bare-bones tavern experience. Four stools also have reversible designs - two with heavy burn marks and two with scratches - and have plain wood on the reverse side. The other three stools have plain wood on both sides.

Check out all the revisions in the preview art below! 

EVEN MORE New & Updated Art

The art for the other three sets that were voted on by your fellow backers have all been completed. Check out these great sets below: Drow Heroes (Combat/Spellcaster), the horrible "Floating Watchers", and the even more horrifying Baby Monsters! 

Okay, actually... the baby monsters are quite cute. If you've ever wanted a Baby Kraken, Lil'Cthulu or Hellpup for your game, don't miss out on this unique set!

 In Case You Missed It: XL FLYING DRAGON MOUNT

We announced it last month (and again at the top of this post) but some of you might have missed it. And we would HATE for that to happen because we're really proud of this new add-on. This mini combines gorgeous art with awesome technical features (detachable wings, mount slot, and gargantuan size) to create a truly imposing presence for your table.


Presenting - the XL FLYING DRAGON MOUNT! Get it in the Pledge Manager now!

Skinny Minis Subscription Art

Over the past couple of months, we've been really enjoying collaborating with our subscribers over what new sets will be created. In November, it was a double set of minis inspired by the new dragons of wonder that were recently debuted. Last month, subscribers picked a set of Vampires and a set of Carnival Villains (voting on which villains ends in just a few hours!).

We have some gorgeous preliminary art we'd like to share from the November sets:



Infiltrator, Mastermind and more Draconic servants

Voting is ongoing for January! If you're a subscriber, check your emails for a link or head to the members portal. If you're not a subscriber yet, and you'd like to vote, you can subscribe at https://skinny-minis.com/products/early-bird-skinny-mini-subscription-club

In Closing

Glad you made it this far in both the update and the Kickstarter! We're so grateful for all of the support and passion you all have brought to this project. It's really been an amazing experience, and it's all thanks to you.

Stay safe out there, fellow adventurers!
