Thank you very much.

Awesome, hope the project reaches its goal

Interesting. Anyway we can see the roads in a vid against dirt?

I'm currently using some felt roads and rivers, so this is looking very promising for me.

Roads and rivers for me, as well.

It's a possibility, though I won't be able to demonstrate that until likely Friday (11/8).

I've added a few additional examples.

Also thus far we're already 30% funded with around 21 days to go, thanks for all the support & comments.

Indeed azreal13, that's why I've set up the basic river as it's own pledge level. I'll also set up a pond/lake add-on option as well.

I haven't designed any roads yet but if it's something folks would like I could certainly work some out.

I'd have thought that rural roads (of different scales) would be top of the list, given their ubiquity and hw ideal they are for the flat terrain style of this KS. Flames of War/Historicals/WFB/etc could all use many of the same roads as long as the cobblestones weren't too big...

Along with modern and sci-fi games in rural settings (so still good for much of 40k, and so forth)...

I think if you did a 15mm river, and road set up [eg a pledge level] you might get a few more pledges as these would be great for games like Flames of War. Battlegroup Kursk/Overlord., etc...

I know I would pledge for a set like that in 15mm.

Remember - a 15mm river is also a 28mm stream. Add a "narrowing" section and/or a section with a lerger and smaller fork and you've made them cross-compatable on the same table as part of the same waterway!

Originally the focus was on forest, hills, and rivers but due to some of the excellent feedback I've added many of the requested options. Including roads as well as full support of both 28mm & 15mm scales. So while roads etc may not have been the original focus they are now fully incorporated into the KS project.

As for scale and interchangeability goes, while it could certainly be said that a 28mm stream is interchangeable with a 15mm river. I'm giving each scale the high quality treatment it deserves. No sense playing at 15mm and your rivers having 28mm scale brush/plants etc along the banks. They'll both use the same sizes river section shapes, but the final image printed to them will be of the appropriate scale.

The feedback and comments have been great thus far, thanks!

Sure, but remember, a tuft at one scale is a bush in another. Similarly with rocks and boulders....

I'm looking to infuse some more momentum into the project and I'd like your feedback. Would folks be interested in some 3D resin accessories and or small terrain pieces to complement our 2D terrain?

Something that once the project reaches it's $4,200 goal would be automatically included for free to all pledge levels.

I actually produce, design, and manufacture resin gaming accessories already so I've already the means to make this incentive idea happen.

Please level your feedback here or post a comment to our community page here.

I'm toying with the idea of including a few, unpainted, resin pieces appropriate to most pledge levels. For example say a 3D bridge for the river systems and or some basic stone walls or other obstructions. Those sorts of things, though I am open to additional ideas and suggestions here.

As always thank you for all your support!

I'm in for $65 . I love the idea of having terrain i can dump into my gaming bag and carry with me.

Awesome idea, this is one of those KS that I jumped straight into without even having a second thought (I still haven't even watched the video).

Personally I'm not interested in anything 3d , I'm here for portability and function.

Great to see the roads in!

Will you be able to explain the length and width of the different options? - ie how long and wide will the segments of 28mm and a 15mm road be? Will the 15mm options be just as long but less wide then the 28mm? half as wide? More pieces for the 15mm to make up for the difference in size?

Also, how final are the images of the paved/distressed and dirt roads? I like the look of the dirt ones, but the paved concepts seem to be missing a bit of something.

Finally, can the "roads and rivers" package be used to get 2 sets of roads? (or rivers, I guess). Any chance of a triple-pack?

Both use the same dies so the length/width is the same. However let me clarify that the 28mm single lane road is about 3 inches wide with a narrow border of brush/grass etc. While the 15mm designs will show roads approximately 45mm wide with brush/grass etc taking up the remaining space to either side.

Also, how final are the images of the paved/distressed and dirt roads? I like the look of the dirt ones, but the paved concepts seem to be missing a bit of something.

They are rough concepts, the final concepts will be significantly more detailed. This goes for all the terrain examples provided. Also your right the distressed road isn't quite....well distressed enough.

Once the Kickstarter is successfully completed, I'll I begin making the final masters. Rest assured I'll be looking to the backers for feedback before each design is finalized and put into production.

Finally, can the "roads and rivers" package be used to get 2 sets of roads? (or rivers, I guess). Any chance of a triple-pack?

Yes you can get multiple sets simply pledge for the level you want and follow the add-on instructions.

If you want two sets of roads, or rivers, or a triple pack then select the river set or the road set levels. Then add the cost of the extra sets to that pledge, the costs for these is listed in the add-ons (at the bottom of the page). I'd only select the combined river & roads level if you do indeed want one of each, if so then select this level and follow the same add on procedure as above for any multiple sets you wish to add.

I was hoping there would be more progress on this one. Doesn't anyone want a river rather than an aqueduct running across their battlefield?

Just about down to the last two weeks and the final push for the project. We're still around 30% funded as of this moment, and I certainly think it's more than possible we can reach the projects goal.

It's really just a matter of spreading the word. So if you'd like to help out or simply know of somewhere I should post that I've missed, then by all means let me know =)

As always thank you for your feedback!

I'd like to thank all of the folks whom backed my 2D war-gaming terrain Kickstarter and or provided feedback, your input has been invaluable! You've truly helped shape the direction I'll be taking with this product.

Rest assured this terrain product will continue to be developed, regardless of the outcome of the Kickstarter. With the first releases to be made available in the near future, all be it at a slower pace if this particular Kickstarter goal isn't met.

So if your interested in this product I encourage you to like & follow our community Facebook page for future news and info. Have a great holiday season everyone!
