They are about to cancel the kickstarter due to low interest and such a high goal. A lot of the lack of interest is due to them only shipping within the US, the next kickstarter will offer international shipping which should attract more backers. As for the goal, they can reduce it to a little over $100k but would mean a small increase in the pledge levels. Still seems a very high goal to reach for a scenery only campaign but hopefully it makes it.
Those actually look pretty nice. But yeah, this probably unfortunately won't get very far. Not much promotion from the looks of things and the genre is fairly limited.
Interesting - the quality looks to be there. And the price is nice.
They should have gone for a more generic kit from the get go ( a package of trees/rocks/stumps and a few other little things) that could be used by gamers across a wide variety of genres. The covered wagon kinda locks it into a "old west" only feel.
Still - seems premature to cancel it now. It only just launched and if they had any advertising beforehand I somehow missed it all.
They'd require more than four THOUSAND people to get the single set they're offering in order to found. And they only ship to the US. They either don't understand math or don't understand reality.

They also want people to donate to get onto their mailing list...

I have to say it does look nice, bu. they'll probably need to appeal to the dungeoneering crowd to get enough interest going. I'd love to have everything but the covered wagon. Far too "Wild West" for an RPG or a war game. Unless of course, you were involved in an RPG or American Civil War era game.
