Those do look nice Greg. Are all of these modifications of existing Otherworld minis? I can see that the Mummy Lord (which looks awesome) is a modified OW Mummy, but what about the other ones?

Yes, you are spot on. The majority are conversions. However, the majority (but not all) of the stretch miniatures are new sculpts.

Why? Cost. New miniatures sculpts are very expensive and I'm only looking for 15k in funding. So from the outset I was looking at conversions. Adding to that, focusing on conversions means the miniatures would be completed quickly and I didn't need to rely on multiple sculptors who may or may not come through for me on time. This plan has worked very well. You can see that the vast majority of miniatures are already complete and we have 28 days to go in the campaign. I'm a big Citadel Miniatures fan (their 1980s ranges) and I think some of their conversions held a great deal of charm and are fun to paint.

I was also trying to lean on the conservative side. If the campaign gets the funding we get conversions early and new sculpts later. If it doesn't get funded I won't be out of pocket more than a couple grand.

I hope I answered you questions and thank you for the interest. Greg

A new miniatures-only perk has been added to the Barrowmaze Complete campaign. You can find it here:

This one's really stalled out right now...

I hope it make the funding goal, as I'd love a mega-dungeon campaign that's got a lot of Orcus in it!

I recently started up a 1E AD&D campaign and, without knowing about any of this, I used Orcus as the Main Big Bad!

Sadly I think a lot will depend on Otherworld getting enough of their own KS stuff out to backers before this one closes

Probably true, and that probably means we're in trouble here!

Quick question on IndieGoGo:

They take the cash the second I pledge - but if it doesn't fund, do they refund my account immediately?

I think it depends, some indiegogo do not refund at all. basically your giving the cash over, and might not see anything......EVER. that's why most people have been staying away from those funding sites and calling it indienogo

Edit: he's fixed funding campaign, did one digging and found this on heir website.


Fixed Funding campaigns
Contributions made to any fixed funding campaign will be refunded in full if the campaign has not met its funding goal by its deadline. Contributors will receive these refunds in their PayPal account within 5 days after the campaign's end.

Ye of little faith lol

Every campaign hits a stall in the middle and this one is no different.

It has already started to pick back up and we are well on our way to 11k.

Correct, this is a fixed funding campaign. If it doesn't reach 15k I don't see a dime. Just like KS.

The miniatures for the campaign are almost all complete BTW

There are just 6 days remaining and we have about 10% to go!

I've uploaded a really cool illustration of the town of Helix that serves as the base of operations for the PCs. Be sure to take a look

That's a very nice looking map - a great Old School feel to it!

How much art is going to be in the final book?

You are going to have to crank out a MM: Barrow edition.

I'm liking the project, its really a good looking throwback to old school D and D. Then the Otherworlds figures...

You up and made me want to go buy more of them. Thanks.




At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

That map looks amazing Greg. Really happy to see this nearly funded; it's going to make it!

I am in fact still considering coming onboard for the book, but I want to wait until I see how my other "old school indulgence" (the Tome of Horrors miniature KS) pans out.

Only 12 hours left!

They are FULLY funded now!

$15K target, and currently sits at $19K.

This puts them on the verge of unlocking the "Caryatid Column" miniatures...

Get in there!

I've jumped in for the book, but am skipping the minis (will be looking for at least some of them at retail). By the sound of it, might be mongrel men instead of the caryatid columns as the $20K stretch goal (see the comments section and update #10). 11 hours left!

I saw that, but until it is actually confirmed, and listed, I wouldn't count on them, in case that was the 'tipping point' for someone!
