A couple of weeks ago one of my favourite companies,
Dwarven Forge, began a Kickstarter campaign to promote their new line of gaming terrain called
Game Tiles. I know it’s kind of late to mention it (I was moving and I’ve
been super busy at work these days, yadda, yadda, yadda…), but fear not! As of this
posting, there are still 12 days remaining to get in on this awesome deal!

| One set of Game Tiles (stretch goal items are not available at this level) |
 |
| Two sets showing stretch goal pieces (to date) |
The idea is that they’re trying to get miniatures terrain
into the hands of the gamer masses by producing a less expensive line of
product. Creating the molds is expensive (hence the Kickstarter effort) but
once that’s done, making the pieces will be much more cost effective especially
since they’ll make them in bulk. That being said, the initial $50,000
they were hoping to attain was funded in only 3 hours! Currently the pledge
total is over $760,000 and growing rapidly!
The basic set includes 34 pieces of gaming terrain (floors, walls,
corner pieces, and door pieces). Something new to Dwarven Forge is that they offer both painted and unpainted sets. Let your creative side take over and paint some up yourself!

If you fund for 2 or more sets, you’ll be
eligible to receive all the *free* stretch goals and you’ll be able to purchase
the add-on packs. That’s a no brainer because the freebies are added for each and every set you back. So if you pledge for 5 sets, you’ll get 5 of each stretch goal!
The total number of pieces really starts to add up as each stretch goal is
attained. And did I mention the variety of pieces that are included from the
stretch goals? Pillars, curved wall, angles wall, and oodles of other specialty
pieces are just a few examples (some of which need to still be unlocked by
reaching the appropriate funding levels). With or
without the extras pieces, this is a great deal. Oh who am I kidding? C’MON MORE FREEBIES!

| Demon Door stretch goal |

| Straight wall with window stretch goal |
 |
| Curved wall (and back piece) stretch goal |
So if you’ve ever wanted to get (or even just considered getting) some of Dwarven Forge’s industry leading terrain products, get in now while the
gettin’s good! This Kickstarter ends on April 30th.
