D&D General An awesome surprise in my mail this morning!

A while back I backed the Goliath Coins Kickstarter because I thought they looked kinda neat.

To my surprise, Joe Ward at Goliath Coins emailed me and told me he was refunding my pledge and would send me the coin for free. I was surprised and very grateful!

This morning my coin arrived.... along with several others! Double surprised! And they are just as awesome as they looked in the pictures. Thank you, Goliath Coins!

Well, refunding your pledge and sending a few extra coins can now be considered part of their advertising budget...

That's great news!

Given the amount of times we hear about failed kickstarters (and/or the creatives behind them ghosting), it is always wonderful to hear about the many good ... no, GREAT people that go above and beyond.

With all the bad news that gets pumped out, it's great to hear about the many unheralded people doing more than they need to, because it's a nice and good thing.

Do you (or anyone else who backed it) have thoughts on how you will use them in your game?

Why was your pledge refunded?

It's still pretty cool of Goliath.

Glad to hear it Russ. There are some companies that I still have fond memories of due to their customer service approach. Tom over at Fat Dragon was always quick to shake your hand, and thank you for even just considering his product. It's nice to see the industry still has those kind of folks around.

Why was your pledge refunded?

When I went to fulfill the orders, I was actually honored that Russ backed my project considering all that he has done for the community over the years. It didn’t seem right to charge him. And I was very surprised to see this post. A pleasant surprised when I started reading the newsletter. Also there are better photos and videos on my website.

The primary purpose is a display coin. Each one comes with a stand. However you can use them as a turn marker, dm prop, dm gift, cool paperweight, etc.

I love coins. Also compass roses to hold down maps and papers and book pages and such.
