Wow! Peopled flocked to the Pedion Kickstarter, and it got funded in just 55 hours!
Of course, the fun it's just starting! If you have followed my posts here, you know that I love to design new things and expand on ideas; so, it's time for Stretch Goals. But nothing will happen if more people don't support us:
https://www.kickstarter.com/project...on-modular-prepainted-terrain-system-for-rpgs
This is your chance to get some of the best terrain there is for RPGs and Wargames, in reduced prices, and Early Bird deals for the first among you! There are special pledges for RPG board sets, and Gaming Clubs.
Campain started on May 27th and will last until the 1st of July 2015.
SHARE with anyone who would want great terrain!
Pedion is a Terrain System; a way for wargamers, role-players, and modelling hobbyists to recreate any battlefield* they wish to play on, without sacrificing aesthetics or requiring much room for storage. The principle of Pedion is that the board will consist of a number of terrain “tiles”, that is, square pieces each depicting specific terrain features: open plains, roads, rivers, forests, hills, crops etc. The tiles are 30x30cm and only 1cm thick (1’x1’x0.4”) and they connect to each other without any restriction on orientation. They are pre-painted with realistic features while still practical for miniature movement and combat. By combining the tiles, the players can form multiple layouts, covering most table sizes. The tiles are very lightweight, durable and take minimal space.
*ped·i·on, noun \ˈpedēən, from Ancient Greek πεδίον (“plain, field, flat surface”), πεδίον μάχης = battlefield
The first Stretch Goal is to produce different themes of the Pre-painted Tiles, and specifically a Winter theme and a Sand/Desert theme. We are less than £500 away, so help us make it happen!
This Stretch goal will allow supporters to choose to have their Reward Set of Pedion tiles painted in a different theme than the original "Spring Green" presented in most pictures.
The Tile types remain the same; but if the supporters choose so, they can have them covered in "heavy" snow, or in golden sand. This Upgrade will actually be without any extra cost (apart from upgrading any forest tiles to "Oasis" tiles, since they will also include a pond at a small extra cost).
It is also time to introduce our first "SOCIAL" Stretch Goals as well, which we are keeping as a surprise. So here it goes:
When the number of Backers reaches 130 (it's at 105 right now), each and every backer of a physical reward pledge will get a FREE extra magnetic tree.
Also, you will get another FREE magnetic tree for every Forest Tile that your reward includes or you buy as an add-on; that makes the available trees for your Forest Tiles Seven (7), instead of six.
This is a Kickstarter-only free upgrade!
Hope you like your free gifts, because more will come in later backer numbers!
Pedion made an impression in UKGameExpo 2015
I traveled to Birmingham those last days to live the great gaming experience which is UKGameExpo show... I had a brilliant time, and I also maned a stand with Pedion tiles.
The look on visitors' faces can be summarized in this word: amazed. They approached the stand in a slightly apprehensive way: "look at this beautiful terrain, it must be heavy and cumbersome", "we will need a new house to put this" etc (yes, people actually said this).
They left awestruck: they discovered first hand how lightweight, durable, practical and 100% modular the whole system is, in addition to beautiful... We had comments like "excellent", "brilliant" coming from people like former GW sculptors, Mantic demonstrators and Hawk employees. Two of our Backers, Tom and Dave found their way to the stand, to see in person what they had backed. Their reviews are now in the Comments section of the Campaign, for the world to see that Pedion is what it promises.
So check out some moments from our UKGE stand! At one time I'm pointing at the use of the prototype RPG square grid overlays, so you can see them with miniatures. Do not forget to share!
