Greetings, Mammoths!
Bubbling with excitement!
Prototypes incoming, Mammoth excitement through the roof!
IN THIS UPDATE:
Book Updates
DM Screen update
Coin & pin update
Dice update
Physical Miniature update
STL Stretch Goal Delivery
BOOK Proofing for the Hoard Of Ghaundal is at its final stages, and we will be able to start test printing very shortly. Covers for both version of the book are close to finalized as well, almost final version (With some comment editing comments as Works in Progress do):
DM Screen Our Dungeon Master’s screen is close to done. Formatting is in progress and once done we can proceed to the printers! Our DM Screen will feature a Magic item generator you might have seen being tested over on our Discord server. Have a try at it yourself and tell us what you think!
Character And Hero pack We had the first print of the boxes, we understood what needed to change: Some text was too small or too close to the box edge. We are also testing a slightly bigger box on the next print run. Here is the first print version:
Boxes Prototypes
Coin & Pin We are working with our manufacturer on finishing the coin design. Here is the final layout:
Here are the first photos of our pin prototypes- fresh out of the metal shop, yet unpainted:
Mammoth Pin Prototypes
Dice Both dice sets have started tooling- that is the mold making! We had to add some laser engraved details to the D4 to accommodate our delicate design. It will cost us a bit more to manufacture, but feels like the correct decision in order to make the best looking dice we can. We are prototyping 4 color combinations for the Magma dice (Soft edge), just to make sure we have the best fit to our vision. We are quite happy with how these are turning out- you can see them here:
Mammoth Cosmic Dice Prototype
Mammoth Cosmic Dice In Motion!
Look at the specks of "ash" we managed to add to these dice!
Mammoth Magma Dice Prototype
Mammoth Magma Dice In Action!
Physical Miniature By the time you read this, we have started manufacturing the final test run of our industrial resin 3d printed miniatures. This means all the mass produced packs: Owlbear Pack, Hero Pack, Character Pack, Giant Ettin, Dragolord Ghaundal, The Village and the Overseer, AND all 8 sets of miniature collections. If it sounds like a lot- it’s because it is! After printing is done, our CEO will be inspecting all the prints at our manufacturing partner’s facility personally. We will be triple checking the manufacturing, packing and sorting procedures to ensure this to be as precise and orderly as possible.
STL Stretch Goal Delivery STL rewards have been delivered to your the MyMiniFactory accounts at the start of March, and the stretch Goal STL Rewards were delivered earlier this week. Other Digital rewards will be delivered once completed. If you cannot locate your Digital rewards, please let us know at [email protected]
Tax & Shipping are charged at a later date 🦺 The final Tax & shipping costs will be charged once we have made all the prototypes and we know how much the product weighs and we know your address, so please hang on tight until we get those final numbers down.
Where is my survey link? If you can’t find it in your kickstarter email - Please check your spam folder. If you can't find it there, reach out to us with (1) your name (2) pledge number, at our email provided above.
