Dwarven Forge Game Tiles Kickstarter

With the bonus stuff it has effectively turned every 2 sets into 3 sets.  That means my buddy who ordered 10 freakin' sets will end up with around 15...   Almost too much dungeon...

They've said that they're hoping to eventually double the number of pieces for each set. So once this thing hits $1-$2 million you can expect 4 complete sets at your 2-set pledge level. Hurray! (I'm in for the same pledge level)

I understand they are using normal American post for this - the items are simply heavy and they've had to allow for the sets doubling in size by the time the Kickstarter finishes.

So basically what you are saying is anyone outside of america is better jumping on this towards thr end of the kickstarter?

Up to you, I have pledged for the 2 sets at $120 + $70 postage.  Should give me 4 sets by the time the Kickstarter freebie are added on.

But, you can change or cancel your pledge at any time up to the end of the Kickstarter and you are not charged until the end - so there is nothing to lose by pledgin now.

Also guys, understand that...unfortunately the USPS is going damn near bankrupt.  Prices are going up by the week in some places.  It seems like international shipping from many companies is going through the roof.

It's a crap time to buy and ship stuff abroad unless it's light weight.  I know the old resin sets were between 5-8 lbs. per box...so if these weigh the same, they're looking at shipping 10-15 lbs. worth of stuff overseas.  It's just stupid expensive.  I suppose it's a good thing I'm in the states.

I do think, if they eventually double the size it may still be worth it (compared to buying it off the shelf once in production).

Some carriers have inflated shipping for overseas orders depending on the size of the box, not it's weight (I'm looking at you, UPS).

Even if these sets weigh less than the original format stuff, they will likely take up more space in the box.  I hope they have some quality packers that know how to make the most efficient use of the space available.

Well, I should say I've been following all of this stuff more closely, but I haven't.  Looks like a bunch of cool stretch goals coming up (treasure piles etc.)  Pretty cool little online tool for dungeon making too.

^Lets you plan out your dungeon sans pieces.  I wonder...if you could use this then print off the image for cheap gaming?

Update:


Received an email that all of the stuff has been produced - it is supposedly being packaged and prepped for delivery.  I had almost forgotten about it.  Will make a nice project for the colder months.

I won't be buying the product...but I do like the map maker on their website. I've been looking for one of these for ages.
