The Vlogsmith - Hand Forged Dice!

BackerKit!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 12:22:56 AM

First I'd like to thank this wonderful community and I am so grateful to be a part of it!

I have been looking for shop spaces that meet the demands I specified (height clearance, power grid, etc.). Going to be looking at a few spots this week.

I have also contacted the 3D render artist for the blacksmith figure. We will be showing you the progress as it comes.

Good News! 

BackerKit is on its way and I'm essentially waiting for approval from them to move forward.

Late pledges WILL be accepted at this time. So for those who missed the main campaign, now you can get in on it.

For those of you who chose the "More Than One Option" tier, your pledge amount (minus shipping charges) will be used as credit for all the other tiers that are available to you.

You can now have a Titanium AND a  Damascus D20 if you wish.

Also, within BackerKit you will have 7 different styles to choose from for your D20.

Alright folks, that's it for now, see you next update!

Damascus dice unlock!

Hi friends!

I'm being generous and I am opening up the Damascus tiers 24 hours early so that folks can adjust their pledges.

Seeing as how the trend will get us over to the final stretch mark I'm giving you all 24 hours to adjust your pledges accordingly. So for those who have yet to pledge you may head over there and do so now!

Individual D20 will be a low $200 and the set will be set at a reasonable $1200

Be sure to snatch them up before the Kickstarter ends!

Titanium metal Unlocked for all!

Hey folks we passed the 80K mark, you know what that means!
Titanium has been unlocked for all!.
I have added a few tiers specific for those who wish to only pledge for the Titanium tier.

 Titanium has been compared to Mythril as described by J. R. R. Tolkien.
The metal was discovered around WWII right around the time that Tolkien served in the war.
This mythical metal is both lighter than Steel and stronger than Aluminum.

Alright friends, onward to Damascus! Remember to keep sharing with freinds and family on all social medias!

Beasts of War!

Hey friends! I wanted to share with you an article written about my campaign by Beasts of War! 
I have been a fan of them ever since 5th edition Warhammer 40K.
They are partly responsible for my Tyranid army being so huge (close to 30,000 points)
Anyway, enough nerding out about them, check them out and send some love:

Second stretch goal unlocked!
over 7 years ago – Sun, Dec 16, 2018 at 01:09:13 PM

Hey Friends!
It looks like we've blasted through the second stretch goal! Brass metal is now unlocked for everyone.

If you'd like to pledge for that level now you may do so at a single D20 or full set level!
Remember that you'll be able to adjust your pledge at the end of the campaign.

 Coming up next: I'm going to add a new stretch goal at 70K. I will allow your D20s to have a different configuration for the numbers. I call it the "7 under" D20 as the 7 in directly beneath the number 20 instead of the number 8. Joe Mangianello calls them the 'unbalanced D20" and is the only kind he rolls. (Note that they are not truly unbalanced but rather the numbers are just in a different placement.)

 Also in this update is a picture of the full set of steel dice!
