(We'll be creating at least two new rival parties, one humanocentric and one monstrous, in addition to the two from James' original campaign.) The character you create will be illustrated by <a href="http://jeffdee.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Jeff Dee</a> (you'll get the original pen and ink art, we'll use the image in the Dwimmermount hardback + PDF and for the optional player handout booklet), and <a href="http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2011/03/diabolic-minis.html" target="_blank">Sandra Garrity</a> will sculpt a mini of your character or monster. You'll get a complete set of all the minis, and the one you created will be professionally painted by an artist chosen by Sandra.The fun part for me is that there'll be a series of Dwimmermount events on every Saturday during the Kickstarter campaign, from 3/3 to 4/14, at the <a href="http://www.thebrooklynstrategist.com/" target="_blank">Brooklyn Strategist</a> where I'll get to play with all this awesomeness. However, I'm not all that good at it - Stefan assembles dungeons with Master Maze at least ten times faster than I do, and my miniatures collection is shabby at the best of times and will look particularly crummy against such a splendid backdrop.  If you're in NYC or know someone who is, I could use some help building the dungeon on the B-Strat's Sultan table on those Saturday nights so that play doesn't slow down while I or the other GMs search for just the right wall piece. Even if Saturdays don't work for you, Jon at the B-Strat would be glad for assistance making dazzling Dwarven Forge window displays.And if you've got miniatures you'd like to share, I can guarantee that we'll take good care of 'em, take lots of pictures and show 'em off to lots of kids and grownups and random passers-by, and cover the cost of shipping if you're not local.</blockquote>
