A New Kickstarter

We can proudly announce a new Kickstarter campaign, that will go live very soon.
This will be a short run campaign (two weeks), that will be part of the Make/100 creative initiative, where a reward is limited to 100 backers. For our campaign this is to create a limited edition vinyl 48"x24" RPG Encounter Mat, the Dragon's Dungeon lair.
This design is a bit of a Hobbit homage, with a gold hoard in the main chamber, plenty of pillars for cover and some ancillary rooms to facilitate some epic boss fights. The design is around 80% complete, with some finer details to be added yet.
Whilst the Make/100 focus will be for the limited edition physical copies of this design, we'll also be offering a low price non-limited digital copy reward too, along with possible stretch goals.
Low price VTT pledge level
We'll also be making the full range of printed mats available again (including any stretch goals from the new campaign) as Optional Buys at the same price point as last time; just in case anyone needs any more mats ;-)
The designs from our first kickstarter are also on offer again, although the digital bundle price has gone up due to the number of stretch goals reached last time, so if you have any virtual tabletop friends that missed the last kickstarter, please spread the word.
The preview of the Kickstarter is here, with the plan to make it live before the month ends.
Here's hoping you can join us on this new Kickstarter!
Cheers
Matt

Lava Cave 24x24
What's Left?
Although that's now all designs complete, there are still a few tasks left, in planned order:
Re-size older designs from X-large .tif versions to match newer zipped 300 DPI .jpg versions.
Re-Size older designs VTT versions to come in uner 10mb so they'll work in Roll20 without modification.
Add all digital content to the www.gamingbooks.co.uk shop and ensure existing voucher codes work and any new codes are sent to backers (I need to finish the re-size first).
Create .pdf versions and add to DriveThruRPG
And finally, decide what to run as the next KickStarter project...

Last Two Designs
I'm happy to say the final two designs created for this KickStarter are now complete.
First is the Street Market design.
Street Market 24x24
And lastly we have the S.V. kodiak, space ship design.
S.V. Kodiak 48x24
I just need to create all of the various formats for each and get them on to DriveThruRPG then I can send out codes for the last collection of designs.
Shipping
Today also marks the last set of parcels being sent out for Backers who answered the BackerKit survey.
Next Steps
Next is get the final designs out via DriveThruRPG, complete the resizing and zipping of files, get all content live on the GamingBooks site and generate the multi page PDF document versions.
The next update should be the final collection confirmation; I'll probably start asking for some ideas on what to work on next too...
