Project Update: Hexplorations Decks & Tiles Update: 8 Extra Hex Minimap Tiles Added (Making 72 In The Set)--Next Goal Is 8 More! & Other Project News

We've already blown through our extra 8 hex minimap tiles stretch goal so now our Hex Minimap Tiles will have 72 double-side tiles instead of 64!  Further, we're already well on our way to the next stretch goal to add 8 more tiles to make the set 80 map tiles! All at no extra cost to you.

And these will be double sided to give you even more combinations!  Based on our poll in the most recent update, it looks like we'll make about 40% of the backs more designs by Dyson, then 20% will be coastlines, 20% will be sea (just the grid with a light blue), and 20% will be blank except for the grid. Those estimate may fluctuate a little, but this is the general idea.  The digital set will have all of these as well, of course.

I've just posted a new poll about our stretch goals... Now that we've hit a few stretch goals, and we've got a bunch of new folks supporting the project I wanted to see if the results change.

One of the options is to make our stickers into vinyl clings based on that poll's results--see our prior update.  I'm expecting samples at the end of the week.  Once I verify that they work as expected, I'll make look at adding that stretch goal to the project too.

On to other worthy projects to Highlight:
Nord Games has a Kickstarter to make an app from their prior Oracle card decks and books to make settings, monsters, character backgrounds, and more!  Learn more & back it here. Chris Haskins who runs Nord Games has been helpful to many TTRPG creators, including myself.


And Todd Leback runs a monthly Kickstarter for his Populated Hexes series where he makes something like a zine for a new campaign area each month. And this month he is also crowdfunding a new print run of his BX monsters book. Todd co-owns a game store (Sabre Games) in Charlottesville, VA that carries a ton of small press & OSR releases that is also worth visiting.

Finally, if you are part of a community where you can post about our project and love it, please do!  As you can see we really are passing our quantity price breaks to you as extras & quality improvements.  Or if you see a post that I or someone else made, please like/upvote/comment on it!  As a reminder, find us:

If we hit $32,000, we'll add eight tiles to the Hex Minimap Tiles set (printed and digital) at no extra cost to you! That makes 16 extra, 80 total!
Goal: $32,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
