Maybe you want a new floor plan for the Temple of Cyytok!! skirmish game.
Or maybe you run TTRPGs and want a new battlemap that matches these awesome minis.
Well, either way, I have good news. We just hit a new stretch goal! That means Mustafa is going to create a whole new map for you to print out and cause havoc on.
The pledges are accelerating as we go into the last 24 hours - who knows what else we might unlock?
Here's what we have coming up:
$7500 - New Scenarios for the Temple of Cyytok!
Another exciting one for folks who also grabbed/ are grabbing our super cheap skirmish game, The Temple of Cyytok! I'll write a whole new set of scenarios based on the new minis and floor plan. It'll pretty much be like a whole new game! The Orcs and Dwarves battle in the Hall of the Dwarven Lords. It'll be complete carnage.
$8500 - Free Orc #3
If we hit this one, that'll be a total of FIVE free minis! You're gonna need a bigger mailbox!
Nah, I'm kidding. These guys aren't that big. They'll fit.
I'll be glued to my computer screen until we finish tomorrow. Thanks for making this all happen, folks.

Hey, we just killed another stretch goal! That means everyone who backs this campaign is getting FOUR free minis. That's almost half an extra set! We're looking at two extra Dwarves and two extra Orcs.
It's time to buy a bigger table so you can fit all this goodness.
Okay, okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit.
So what's next?
$6500 - Hall of the Dwarven Lords
Are you playing The Temple of Cyytok and want another floor plan? Do you need a kick-ass battlemap for your RPGs? Oh, do I have good news for you.
If we reach $6500, Mustafa will create a print and play battlemap - the Hall of the Dwarven Lords. Let the Orcs TRY to take it - Thorgrim and his Dwarven Guard are ready.
And the newly announced stretch goal...
$7500 - New Scenarios for the Temple of Cyytok!

That's it for now. Hold onto your butts - we're entering into the last few days of this campaign, which means things are gonna get wild.
Or hold onto each other's butts. Whatever. I'm not a cop.
Talk soon,

It should be the channel all the way down the bottom. See you there!
Hey - do you want this?

A lot of you grabbed my free adventure, The Slaughter Standard for Shadowdark and Old School Essentials. If you've gotten a chance to read through it, you probably have realized it makes use of the minis from this very set.
(If you don't have it already, you can sign up for my mailing list and get it here.)
The idea was to add a skirmish element to an TTRPG adventure. The Orcs have found the old banner of Brakking Redslaughter. With this relic in hand, they have become increasingly vicious, attacking the isolated Halfling homesteads in the low valley. Led by Orzarog, they won’t be satisfied until they’ve pillaged everything from those poor farmers.
There used to be heroes in the valley, a company of eight Dwarves, but they retired suddenly after their last big battle, settling in the western hills. Can the players rally them to their cause and destroy the Slaughter Standard?
I've had a few people approach me about getting a physical copy. We hadn't planned on giving it a print run, but if enough folks were interested, I could make that happen.
Would you be interested in paying $6-7 for this 18 page zine? If so, drop a comment. If enough folks are interested, I'll add it as an add-on to this campaign.
I hope you're having a good week, folks!

What's better than one Orc?

What's better than one Orc?
Obviously, two. And when they're free? Even better.
You've unlocked a second free Orc for every backer!
Oh, and backers will also be getting an extra Dwarf for free too... but what if you got more?
$5500 - Double the Dwarf!
Ohhhh, bayyybeeeee! We are getting real close to getting another Dwarf for free as well. If we hit this goal, that'd be FOUR FREE MINIS for every single backer. Holy friggin crap.
Are we mad? Yes, but that's only because we made a deal with the Orc Warlock..
And of course, because we hit a stretch goal, we have to announce what comes next.
$6500 - Hall of the Dwarven Lords
Are you playing The Temple of Cyytok and want another floor plan? Do you need a kick-ass battlemap for your RPGs? Oh, do I have good news for you.

Fricken cool, right? If only you knew how much other cool stuff we have lined up.
Talk soon,
