Final Advertisements, Final Week, GOGO PAX South
about 7 years ago – Fri, Feb 03, 2017 at 04:16:29 AM

Here are our final 5 advertisement panels; they're all live on Facebook. We have 6 days left and I'm signing off to get a few hours sleep before driving to PAX South.

Please help by spreading these anywhere and everywhere you can, and it would be especially helpful if anyone could make forum posts on various sites you frequent.

http://kck.st/2gcdVSS  Here is the kickstarter short-link to this campaign if it may be helpful to you, and be sure to remind people that the $100 tier is now 262 miniatures (any 3x 62-piece packs, plus 64 customs and 12 legendaries) and will continue to grow with +1 customs for every Archmage backer.

Lets break this funding goal!

Kickstarter Tweaks, cheaper Hordes, Dragonborn + Tiefling packs guaranteed.

We're going to rearrange the kickstarter page, clean up some language, and re-focus our core pitch so it's less confusing to new backers.

Nothing is going to 'change' per-say, but we hope this combats a few obvious questions and confusions.

Here's the main points;

• Fantasy backers should get the $100 tier, even if they already have the core set. Theres at LEAST 3 NEW fantasy packs being created in this campaign; Pirates, Dragonborn, Tiefling. We're guaranteeing them.
• Backers at the $100+ tiers may not want to select Horde packs as their picks, since they don't have as many pieces per pack. But you DO want a cheap way to get Horde packs in this campaign, because obviously. So Horde packs will be HEAVILY discounted, and offered as add-ons for only $10 each.
• To those asking 'why not just buy these on your website?' This was confusing during the holidays, when you compare a good kickstarter deal, to a good christmas sale, but it really is Apples Vs Oranges. The website 'deal' was for our core set only, and is now over. Backing here on kickstarter supports the creation of new art, gives you access to ALL of our past and present packs, and unlocks stretch goals.

FPM Short #3, Stretch Goals, Custom Miniatures
over 7 years ago – Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 06:16:19 AM

Stretch Goals

A quick recap on stretch goals! We have made a few 'social media' goals, mostly about posting on twitter. By accomplishing these goals, everyone gets more rewards! The idea here is that instead of setting arbitrary goals at funding values, we're hoping to CAUSE higher funding values by getting backers involved in spreading the word.

The first and easiest of these goals is to take a picture of your unpainted miniatures, and post them to twitter, remembering to tag #dnd and #stopthegray. Each of these goals has it's own hashtag, so we can track whether the goal has been accomplished.

And as a reward, we ALL get more Custom Miniatures!

Custom Miniatures

So now lets recap Custom Miniatures. In our last campaign, we had almost 100 people paying us $100+ for 'custom' miniatures of their hero characters, themselves, specific miniatures they wish existed, etc.

This time around, we've made them COMPLETELY FREE. All you have to do is 'suggest' a custom miniature, and viola, custom miniatures are summoned from the aether.

And yet, we've only had a half dozen requests.

So lets recap;

 That's all there is to it!

And so far, EVERY SINGLE SUGGESTION has been picked up and on it's way to become a full blown miniature, that all backers receiving stretch goals will get.

In addition to the one's we've shown off before, we also made a handful of Custom Miniatures as a group-request from Ken and Robin, from the podcast 'Ken and Robin Talk about Stuff'

Demon Blood samples, 5 confirmed artists, 3rd party packs: Legendary Games, Printable Heroes, Girl Genius
over 7 years ago – Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 04:32:03 AM

Demon Blood, a 62-piece demon-themed pack with Tiefling, Imps, Demons, and other Hellspawn!

 With this pack, we now have 5 new confirmed artists, each doing 1 of our promised packs;

Spacefarers - Alex Siwek
Cyberpunks - Bruno Balixa
Pirates - Yadong Wang
Dragonborn - Akeiron
Demon Blood - Jason Juta

I'd also like to announce 3 upcoming 3rd Party Packs!

 Details could change, but all 3 should be 62-piece full sets. As with most 3rd party packs, i do not expect these to have front and back art, so the backs will presumably be mirrored.

So as it stands, we're looking at 8 brand new packs in our pipeline for Flat Plastic Miniatures 2!
