Now every set gets two free barrels that can be placed as scenery, destructible objects, or whatever.Īnd the minimum pledge to get the free stretch goals (2 sets) now looks like this: This is a more niche product than Reaper's minis, so it's hard to believe we'll hit multiple millions of dollars, but exciting to think about.Īnyway, we've now blown through $900,000. maybe entering the explosive growth phase of things. The new PVD pieces can be thrown into a box in the living room, and my 1 1/2 year old can join us. Once the new stuff comes, it's a whole new world. but my 4 year old and I already have fun (oh so delicately) marching 'scape figures on my existing Dwarven Forge sets. The pieces have square 1" grids on them, so 'scape doesn't fit directly. I'm going to drop a chunk of change on this, no doubt. Due to the nature of the product (huge print runs lead to dramatic savings per-unit), this is likely the best price we'll ever see on these pieces. This thing has the potential to take off like the legendary Reaper Kickstarter from last year. Probably by tomorrow narrow doors will be unlocked as well. Now each set you pledge for (initially 34 pieces, just floors, walls, corners, doors) now contains 61 pieces including diagonal walls and half floors, curved walls and half floors, and pillars. Since then, they've been adding additional pieces, and the pledge rewards keep improving. They started with the goal of funding four molds to be able to make floors, walls, corners, and doors. Getting the steel molds funded ($10,000 / mold) is the problem, and the reason for the Kickstarter. For people with limited budgets and small children (like many of us here), this is a complete double whammy of awesome. The material is incredibly tough (video of them driving over a piece with a truck, no damage), AND once they get the steel molds done, it's cheaper to produce. Now, though? They want to start a new line of PVC molded terrain. You have to store it in individual styrofoam trays, and your kids definitely can't be rough at all. Their resin is also relatively sturdy and easy to glue when it breaks (this is considered the gold standard of miniature terrain, remember), but it's still fragile. Until now, they've always used cast resin, which has the benefit of cheap molds, but has to be cast by hand (ie, expensive). I picked up a few sets for potential future use with my sons, but I could never afford very much, and you'd really need a fair number of sets to really cover the table.īut now, NOW is the moment of a real paradigm shift. It's all modular, three dimensional pieces that can be placed together to make dungeons, caverns, lava areas, lakes, etc. Their stuff is absurdly beautiful, and generally considered to be the best in the business. They've been making deluxe miniature terrain for 17 years, mostly for the RPG crowd. I first learned about Dwarven Forge in somebody's Gencon thread last year. Many individuals view these games as collector items.Apologies if this is inappropriately enthusiastic.Īhem. He introduced the world’s finest pre-painted miniature terrain in 1996.
DWARVEN FORGE KICKSTARTER 5 PROFESSIONAL
As a classically trained, professional painter and sculptor, Stefan decided to create “real” dungeon terrain that would equal his incredible 25mm tall hero figures. The game raised over $1.9 million on a $50,000 goal.ĭwarven Forge was founded 18 years ago by Stefan Pokorny, a medieval fantasy devotee - and an avid Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast. This is the second project for the company as they launched a similar project in March of last year. The original crowdfunding target was to raise $100,000. The highest level at $3000 was sold out with 4 backers. Over 3100 backers have supported this campaign to date with backers quickly scooping up rewards. The project is scheduled to close on April 8 so there is plenty of time for this amount to move higher. Tabletop game Dwarven Forge’s Caverns is the next crowdfunding project to breach the $1 million mark on Kickstarter.
