Nothing about these models says 28-32mm scale, there are no ruins or bones to give that sort of scale reference.

How long is the pledge manager supposed to be open?
-
I don't do war games really so I don't know if I would need 10 fawns for RPGs, lol

I would think a file for a roof would be pretty simple, although for a smaller printer they would need some way to interlock smaller pieces.

The pledge manager is still open?

How does the game play?

I chose white over the parchment, perhaps that was a mistake.

Update 4/1/17
First off, we want to mention that this is not an "April Fool's day" thing. April Fool's day jokes do not even mention the date, and we have doubly done so now.
Testing
We got to do some of our tests on the tiny sample shipment. There were expected defects that come from lack of machining (like the lines not being perfectly aligned), but the materials used were correct. The magnets are exactly as strong as they need to be, and the surface erases perfectly with both wet and dry erase markers. The nonslip backing is exactly right, allowing sliding when you want to, and gripping when you apply downward pressure.
Production
We negotiated our first contract with this factory during the weeks of testing, and signed and paid for our first shipment on Friday the 31st. The factory will make a certain number of the mats during the next 60 days, and then they will be ready to ship to us. We will then get a 'sample crate' for us to inspect, and if they are correct, then they will be shipped to us. Once they are in our hands, we will begin sending them to you.
The bags have been ready for some time, and the stickers will be made in the next few weeks. (The ones we ordered before were extremely thin, and were not very durable. The ones we are getting now are thick, like the original Colorforms from long ago.)
One Important Caveat
In order to get things moving along sooner rather than later, the first shipment from this factory (the one that will be completed within 60 days) is only going to be the 1" parchment square mats. They were far and away the most popular item ordered (over half of the total number of mats were 1" parchment squares!). So in order to get started fulfilling orders as quickly as possible, this was the fastest way.
We wanted to be able to order everything at once, but that made the factory uncomfortable: they were afraid this might be a one-off on our part, which is certainly not the case. We intend to be here, providing mats (and other stuff) for years.
Once we get these, and both we and the factory have this first order under our metaphorical belts, we will then order the blue, gray, green, and mulisquare 1" square mats, in addition to more parchment mats. It is possible that we can get the hexagonal ones worked into the 2nd shipment, too, but to be safe, we are considering moving that out to the 3rd shipment from them. Shipments will be between 2 and 3 months each. Now that we've gotten rolling, things should be fairly regular.
Again, we wish we could fulfill all orders at once, but this "tiered" response will make it so we can get started fulfilling orders, and building a better relationship with this factory. Which should mean significantly faster response times in the future.
We're really thankful for all of your support over this (absurdly) long haul. But thankfully, we're finally getting there, and we think it'll be worth the wait. We think these mats will be a staple for gaming tables for many, many years to come.
So, thanks for reading, and thanks for backing us!
PS -- Editing your address / Editing your order:
You can still change your address or your order at https://www.gamenightlife.com/myaccount.asp
When you change your address, change the address of your ACCOUNT, not the address of your ORDER. (The system is weird about changing the address of an order that has already been placed.)
It is also possible to change your order, if you want. Just go to
If you (Kickstarter backers) have trouble editing your order, you can always delete/remake your order and use the same coupon codes (kickstarter_fix and kickstarter_fix_shipping) as before.

This looks interesting.

That's only for the add-ons. The core game is $100. So $203 for core game + bundles.
Plus shipping. I like that only one figure and the marble dice are kickstarter exclusives. This looks interesting but I'm not sure.

There are a lot of interesting things here!

I think from the looks of the concept art you'd have a pretty successful Going Native Queens of War, for all the female models.

I really like how they knew what they were doing with using a holding company, rather than just giving the original manufacturer the money. Saved this from being a failed project.

I really like having both the un-mimic and mimic versions. Also I like the lack of teeth on the barrel, looks like it could be just a talking barrel NPC.

I like that female jaguar warrior.

You probably wouldn't want to put them under a running sink, or to use a sopping wet wipe cloth, lol. I'm going to hold out for the GNL Mats.

To those of you who have received part of the miniatures, how is the production quality? I'm looking at the Mythic battles Pantheon and I'm curious for comparison.

The cut off date was also moved back to March 21st.

After watching the videos and reviewing the Kickstarter page I did end up doing a late pledge this morning and adding a few extras.

Was there a preview for the gameplay? It looks like you can still get in on a late pledge through the link on Kickstarter.

This seems more complicated to me than just knowing what to add to the die, especially if you are rolling four or five dice and adding a static number to the total.

*Once more from the void I call you thread into relevance!*
New update!

Looks like the light may be starting to show at the end of the tunnel.

So the difference between the questing knight and the relic knight pledge appears to be the void break expansion rulebook, does anyone know what is in the book? More than anything I just think the models look really cool so I'm not sure if I would need the book.

I backed tiny epic kingdoms, and this seems to be a direct evolution of that, very tempting.
