The End of August.

My kickstarter ended last night, much to my joy better than expected. I will try to write about the experience in the upcoming days. A big Thanks! to everyone who helped out and backed the project.

I just wrapped up a custom token job. Just in time to start work on the custom tokens I owe for TTF kickstarter and my own Kickstarter. Add in another 15+ custom tokens for Jason at D3 games, and 5 maps for En Publishing. I will probably be busy for some time.

August was a great month and I think the next two, while busy should be good as well.

Thanks for swinging by, more to come soon.

 

Post GenCon

What a great weekend. I didn’t get to game as much as I would have liked, but I did manage to run into almost everybody I wanted to run into, plus I had the pleasure of talking to people I had not planned on talking to.

I won’t be able to recall everybody’s name so I’ll just say that it was great talking to everybody if I forget your name please forgive me it was a whirlwind of faces and names. There was a lot of positive comments about my work and kickstarter. I’m looking forward to building better relationships with all the people who want to work with me.  Matt Morton, Nick, and all the guys from D20Pro, John and the other guy (sorry) at Epic Table, Doug and the JPG the younger at Fantasy Grounds, Mike Muldoon and the team at Infrno, Riley Dutton and his partner for Roll 20, The Guy at the Profantasy booth who I didn’t have enough time to talk to properly (sorry), The guys at RPG with Me, and all the guys running booths who were cool. Also Larry from WEGS, I’ve been helping him on some things here and there and in return I got a shiny new t-shirt. Thanks.

I also got to meet and talk to a few fellow cartographer/illustrators. Jared Blendo and Mike Schley who are both formidable workers with amazing skills. Equally nice to talk to. I also talked to Dave White (a fellow CCAD graduate)  who draws amazing mechs, thanks for the poster and I’ll grab one of your books online this week.

I finally met Matt Jackson one of the original Ugly Monsters and Bryan who I have played Inspectres with online.
Ed Healey and I couldn’t seem to find the right timing to actually talk which is a bummer.

I also want to thank the guys who ran games for us. One guy from The Red Shirts who ran a DnD Battle Royale game, the guy who ran our Super Dungeon Explore game, and all the people who just let me hover over them as they played.

Also to Kit, thanks for hanging out, dinner at the Ram, (thank all those guys when you get together to play next include Daphne)  all the tweeting and posting and introductions I had a blast hanging out with you. To the guys at the tweet up thanks for all the work that made that possible.

Steven Russel from Rite Publishing it was good seeing you over lunch. Ryan from EnPublishing I wish I could have seen the game played on the map you printed out.

A big  thanks to my friend Shane who went out there with me. Though he did pick a hotel that we are pretty sure is slated to be demolished as soon as the weekend was over.

I hope I covered everything, if I left you out let me know.

Last I’d like to thank my wife for letting me go and being so supportive. Not only that but spending the weekend cleaning and moving the girls playroom downstairs so I could move my playroom upstairs. You are awesome.

Coming soon… More tokens! I have 30 custom character tokens to make before the end of the month.. if possible. A couple other custom tokens too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Kickstarter, GenCon and me.

The Kickstarter is going well, over $4000 raised so far. I’ve done a couple videos of me making tokens and I plan on making a couple more. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out you have 13 days left, please check it out.

I’m off to GenCon Thursday, so if you are going to be there let me know, I always enjoy meeting fellow gamers. I’ll be walking around so I don’t have a set place I’ll be.

In the works are 20 tokens fro a patron, 30 custom tokens for another kickstarter, 20 or so token statues, and when my kickstarter ends about 200 monster tokens if not more. Luckily school starts next week and if I can keep the social media sites turned off and if I don’t get sucked into Breaking Bad and more episodes of Full Metal Alchemist I should be able to do about 3 tokens a day, so in 3 months I should have my current workload done.

Thanks for stopping by.

More tokens and Kickstarter Update

Well the Kickstarter is off and running, In just over a week I have made it half way to the goal. I’m going to start making monster tokens on a daily basis.

I’m one token short of wrapping up a 20 token job for Shawn, he has been very patient as I have had to divide my time between making tokens, making making maps, making lunch for the girls and making a trip back to Iowa for my niece’s wedding. It’s been a busy month but I think things are going to slow down now that I’m throwing my name all over the place Oh, and I just remembered I have 30 custom tokens owed to the backers of the Table Top Forge Kickstarter. Guess I won’t be relaxing quite yet.

Next Week is GenCon, I’ll be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’ll be the guy wearing the geeky t-shirt.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by the blog and has helped out with the kickstarter, I appreciate all the help.

Here are a couple of the tokens I’m wrapping up this week.
