Stretch Goals: #5, #6, #7 !!
over 4 years ago – Thu, Jan 16, 2020 at 04:11:44 AM

Stretttccchhhh GOOoOOOOAAALLLSSSS!!!! We're continuing to unlock quite a few! I haven't shared an update in the last few days, but have been continually updating the KS page as we've unlocked things. We are almost through all the stuff I had planned for the desert city, and are about to head out into the dangerous desert proper for future stretch goals, so pack your adventuring gear! Here we go with unlocks:

MINIS -  Added to the rewards are a set of 3 "dancing girls",  a lounging noble (for the palanquin, or standalone) and slave carriers for the palanquin, a catfolk seer/mystic, a set of lounging tigers for your throne room (chained or unchained), and your friendly neighborhood traveling merchant!

TERRAIN - We unlocked a pair of couches for your interior design needs, A palanquin (with closed or open options), and the epic throne dais (which is huge and awesome!), with a throne that can be used standalone if you don't want the full dais. Also I had "wall arches" as a goal - I got a bit carried away and made a set of arches, some overhanging canopies, and a fountain for the city walls set, to help you add some interesting areas/flavor.

I have lots more other stuff painted up but haven't snapped photos yet, so will hopefully get more printed/painted shots of items up over the next few days. I also released another free prop, the "Anubis Ring" on thingiverse HERE

What are you guys thinking of the campaign so far?? I'm excited to get out into the desert where monsters, ancient tombs, undead, and more lurk!

Stretch Goals #3 & #4
over 4 years ago – Thu, Jan 09, 2020 at 09:21:38 AM

You guys/gals are maniacs, I can't believe we've unlocked 4 (and almost 5) stretch goals already! So much more cool stuff coming still!

Stretch goals #3 and #4 brought us more stuff to fill out the city/palace/bazaar. First is the grand tent - and it is very grand! It's a super cool model, and I'll be posting a painted pic of it in the next few days. That's the final tent in the campaign, and now you'll never need another tent again hopefully! Also added is the draping curtains and round bed from the Sultan's bedchamber - perfect for all kinds of interesting intrigue!

On the mini side, three marauders (including the super mean-looking "brute") make an appearance, along with the (blatantly) Jasmine-inspired princess. One of my favorite minis so far joined the club too (who was a last-min addition), the catfolk guide! He's ready to lead your party to the untold lost riches of the desert (and smoke a pipe along the way).

DAY ONE - in the books!

Thank you all so much for your support! It's been a great first day, and the support and kind words have been wonderful! I always like to wait a bit before posting stretch goals after funding, and it's very fun for me to reveal the first stretch goals, and show that you crazy sons of bitches have already unlocked the first two! WOOHOO!

I posted the stretch goal chart on the campaign page, and will keep it updated as the campaign progresses. The next 3 will always be shown, so when one is unlocked another will be revealed.

Stretch Goals #1 & #2 UNLOCKED

The first stretch goals keep us in the city and palace, before we venture deep out into the desert for the middle part of the campaign. For terrain, we have added a bunch of pillows and cushions, rugs, and a set of 4 small tents to really build out a market or bazaar. Minis are designed to match, with some market sellers and folk, including a few old men (one peddling scrolls, who could also be a sage/wise man), a young mother with a baby strapped to her back, and an elderly woman with a clay jug. The classic "street rat" also makes an appearance, stealing away with some loaves of bread (Aladdin was one of my favorite movies of all time, if you haven't connected the dots with the Air Djinn and Vizier already... and there will be more!)

Point of Clarity for Add-ons and "A Den of Alien Evil"

It was pointed out by a backer that the add-on for "all previous EC3D Premium Sets" was not super clear. I have updated the add-ons accordingly - that option still exists but does not include the stuff from my last "Community (Treasure)Chest" charity project (check it out if you missed it.. I'll be doing more in the future!). That set has a ton of super cool support-free models as well, and is now listed and available as a $10 add-on if you want it.

If you wish to add any add-ons, just update your pledge to include the appropriate additional amount , and that extra will carry through with you to the pledge manager to pick the specific sets you want.
