over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 04:51:24 PM

 Set Survey #4 - Winner Announcement

We have a neck-and-neck finish for our final set. In the end, however, the adorable cuteness of Baby Monsters overtook the inscrutable horror of the mind-eating abominations.


Baby Monster - Art Not Final

 We'll be sending a final survey tomorrow - so you can decide which baby-versions of monsters you want to see in this set. Depending on your votes, the final set may hold 12 monsters... since some babies are larger than others (for example, baby Purple Worm).

And don't worry, mind-eating fans. If you still want to flay some brains, we offer a "Mind Eater" and a set of scurrying "Brain Beasts" in our Undergloom 1 set! 

This concludes all our sets - thank you for voting!


Skinny Mini Subscription Club

Did your favorite set not win any of the surveys? Don't worry, we've got a fix for that.

After polling you about it, we're pleased to officially announce the Skinny Mini Subscription Club! (That's the "SMSC" for those in the know). 

This subscription will allow you to vote on new Skinny Mini sets each month. You'll decide what we produce and get it at a special, super low rate.

We'll be sharing more details on this soon, so stay tuned!


 Campaign Sets... on the horizon

We had a lot of great submissions on the survey for campaign-based Skinny Mini sets. The clear winner for most demanded campaign setting was the gothic nightmare, Curse of Strahd!

A lot of you want to see this set (and more) made into a reality - and we're happy to oblige!  They won't be able to make it into this Kickstarter - but we'll be working on bringing these to you in the near future. 


We're in the Home Stretch - Keep on Sharing!

Be sure to double check your pledge level,and make sure you're happy with what you've got. Once the campaign ends you won't be able to adjust it.

There's just 48 hours until the end of the campaign, and we still have lots more to share with you! Until then, keep on sharing the campaign link. The more people who back, the more Stretch Goals we can add!


As always, if you have any questions or concerns send us an email at [email protected]

Set Survey #4 - Reminder + Storage Calculator and More
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 05:56:42 AM

Here we are, the last few days. We've got a lot left to show off before this campaign ends, so lets check it out!

Final Survey Reminder

The final Set Survey poll ends on Tuesday. If you're a backer - make sure you vote! You have until the announcement is made tomorrow to weigh on on what our final set will be! Don't miss your chance - vote here.


Storage Calculator

We've finished putting together a Storage Calculator. You can find it here: Storage Calculator

This calculator will let you determine how many binders and binder sheets you need to store all your sets. Just follow the directions at the calculator link!

If you have any questions - please let us know at [email protected]


Pledge Manager Update

After the campaign ends, and funds have been collected, we'll be making the pledge manager open to all backers! The campaign ends this Thursday the 21st at 6pm pacific time. Pledges will be collected by Kickstarter two weeks after that, on November 4th.

After reviewing several different pledge mangers, we've decided to use BackerKit as our pledge manager platform. This pledge manager provides a very streamlined and straightforward way to pick the sets you want, and add any additional sets or add-ons to your order.

We originally planned on using GameFound as our pledge manager platform. However, we've decided that BackerKit will provide a smoother, easier to navigate experience for everyone.

We'll provide more details about the pledge manager to everyone very soon.


Spell Effects: Wall Spells & Area Templates

If you missed it, we've added two new offers to the Add-On section - Wall Spells and Area Templates! Both these add-ons allow you to physically represent common spells at the table.

Wall Spells includes fully-illustrated wall segments for every published wall spell. Each wall spell consists of 2-inch long, 2-inch tall segments, that are individually illustrated. 

Wall of Ice (art not final)

The Wall Spells set includes:

  • Wall of Fire - 60 ft. (12" long)
  • Wall of Force - 100 ft. (20" long)
  • Wall of Ice - 100 ft. (20" long)
  • Wall of Light - 60 ft. (12" long)
  • Wall of Sand - 30 ft. (6" long)
  • Wall of Stone - 100 ft. (20" long)
  • Wall of Thorns - 60 ft. (12" long)
  • Wall of Water - 30 ft. (6" long)

Each segment sits on our standard 1" or 2" bases to be free-standing. 


Spell Effect: Area Templates

This set includes tokens, circular, and square templates (measuring up to 12 inches across!) to show persistent area of effects. This is a great way to track important  spell effects - such as cloud kill, silence, spike growth, web and more!

The set includes small tokens, as well as square and circle/sphere/cylinder templates.

The set includes:

  • Tokens: Six 5 ft. (1") diameter tokens (for bones of the earth, etc)
  • Circle Templates: 5 ft., 10 ft., 15 ft., 20 ft., 30 ft. radius
  • Square Templates: 10 ft. cube, 20 ft. cube, 30 ft. cubes

The templates in this set will be made from a special, thicker  acrylic (3mm) that ensures they resist damage through repeated use. Tokens and smaller template sizes will come as a single piece.  Larger templates will come as 2 or 4 pieces that can be quickly put  together on the table.


You can see examples of the circle and square templates below:

Circle Templates - 30', 20', 15', 10', 5' radius
Square Templates - 30', 20', 10'

Each template is illustrated on both sides with a different generic magical effect on each side.

Both of these options are available for you to add on to your pledge now, or in the Pledge Manager after the campaign ends!

Set Survey #3 Winner + Hell Portals + Subscriptions & Cosmic Dice!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 13, 2021 at 06:23:09 PM

Hey everyone - we've got the Set Survey winner, and lots of other news to share!

Skinny Mini Subscription Add-On

Lots of people wanted this, and we'll be unveiling  more information about it soon! 

We'll be offering a low-priced subscription that will let you get two original sets of Skinny Minis every month.  This subscription will be an add-on during the campaign - and will have "Fast Fulfillment", meaning you'll be able to receive sets while you wait for the bulk order to fulfill.


Hell Portal Preview

The Hell Portal - 6.5" tall!

The HELL PORTAL  above was one of our bonus extras in this months Wondrous One Shots subscription at Dungeon In A Box. Do you want to see this available in the campaign? We will ask you about it during our next (and final) Set Survey this Friday!

The  Hell Portal. Made from extra-durable 3mm acrylic, it's a good-looking, heavy-weight piece of terrain. At 6.5" tall, it will almost certainly terrify your players!

See how it assembles here -

SURVEY WINNER #3

This is the first survey where one winner really outpaced the rest of the sets. You could say these guys were head and NO-SHOULDERS above the competition.

BEHOLD your survey winners - 


"FLOATING WATCHERS"

**Art is not indicative of the final set art**

The "Floating Watchers" set  features four Large-sized versions of the iconic weird floating eyeballs with death-dealing eye beams. Counts as one set.
