Tabletop Props comes back to Kickstarter with a new, old project!

You gotta love someone who does it for the love of the hobby.  Someone who has an idea for a project and refuses to let it fail.  Tabletop Props comes full circle with their fourth Kickstarter being an attempted relaunch of their first two.  They have momentum, can they win the fight this time?

Assault on Fortress Moon- PulpyRetro Scifi Boardgame with Gusto!

So, we get a lot of requests to review Kickstarters. Honestly, probably enough to make a whole separate channel for them.  Most of them do not have miniatures, and therefore we never show them (because, that's kinda our thing... sometimes I wonder if people read the Blog before submitting). So, I was about halfway through one such email when I got to the sentence "It's a strategic tabletop wargame where retro scifi miniatures fight for control of the Moon!" And just like that, Assault on Fortress Moon has my credit card jumping out of my wallet. 

Kickwatcher: Not your usual suspect

Okay, so I know we have a really strict rule about "no Kickstarters that don't have soldierdolls in them" here at LXG.  I know because I made the rule, so there.  And now I'm gonna break it, because sometimes doing the right thing means breaking the rules- or at least that's what I tell my Parole Officer.  So, get ready for Professional Prints Price Provocatively, by our own Ali Alcatraz. 

Kickwatcher: Gah! Zombies!

Right now there are a slew of games that have zombies, or some facsimile there of, in them.  So it may not seem like a huge surprise that there is a Kickstarter out there that is aiming to give us some unique zombie models.  3DForge miniatures has a kickstarter brewing that I think everyone should look at.

Dying Star: Oblivion a unique universe and game

Dying Star: Oblivion is a Kickstarter that we at LXG stumbled upon last week.  2CE and I were intrigued enough to throw some money at the project, and I'm going to take a moment or two to show you why.  Welcome to our Dying Star: Oblivion overview.

Tablescapes has 160K in the bag

Something happened today, in case you didn't know.  Secret Weapon's Tablescapes hit the 160k mark.  Why is this important, you ask.  Well it means that they reached the next stretch goal.  They have finally unlocked the entire "urban street" theme.  To go with this great news, I have some nice pictures to show you of what they have for the theme.

Tablescapes... All the little things

As I write this Tablescapes, Secret Weapon’s modular table Kickstarter, approaches its next stretch goal.  So why do an article before they reach it, well there were a bunch of announcements for these tables that we just haven’t gotten to talk about.  So on to the tension clamps, storage tabs, and bags… oh my!

Dwarven Forge Breaks the $1M Mark!

     It seems like just yesterday we were talking about this project breaking $825K... when in reality it was all of four days ago.  In four days Game Tiles picked up another $200K, and Dwarven Forge had to add another stretch goal! The question isn't "if" that one will fall, but "when" and "what comes next?"

One Week left for GameTiles Kickstarter!

     There's one week to go for the Dwarven Forge Kickstarter, and there's just under $80k to go to hit the final stretch goal of one million dollars.  Can it get there? Have you pledged up?  If not, here's why you should.

Tablescapes Passes 140k

So I posted a very hasty story about Secret Weapon's TableScapes project passing 130k on Thursday.  I was preparing for a weekend long camping trip and rushed it a bit more that I wanted to.  But the project continued to chug along this weekend and has crossed the $140k mark.  And even though Secret Weapon was at Adepticon they posted an update...

Dwarven Forge Kickstarter surpasses $825k

     Our friends at Dwarven Forge are burying one stretch goal after another.  Can they finish out the two "impossible goals" they have left in the next ten days?  If so, what comes next?

Kickwatcher: Light up your life, with Powered Play!

     Sometimes, there's just things you can't sculpt onto models.  Things like roadwear, like personal insignia, like... working lights.  If you've ever gone through the pain in the ass of lighting up a miniature wargame model and wished there was an easier way, Powered Play just became your Genie.

A city table in reach!

Secret Weapon has now announced a new mid-tier goal.  A 8 tile (2'x2') set of just "clean" streets.  So if you play a game where ruined or damage city tiles make less sense, you can now get only the "clean" tiles.  Now LXG has been following Spinespur since its kickstarter, and 266 of you read our contest articles   Why do I bring this up?  Cause each and everyone of you 266 people need to give this idea serious thought.  City tables aren't easy, and this make them so much more so.  So if you want a beautiful city table, go here and pledge.  If you have no idea what I'm talking about here is my original article.  Until Next Time...

Warzone Resurrection Breaks £145k! Mishima unlocks, new Mishima stretch!

     Heading into the last eight hours of the Kickstarter, Prodos has now surpassed their second bundle of stretch goals... they are updating goals one at a time as they are reached, going into the home stretch.  How far can this get in the last hours?

Secret Weapon's Scrap Yard is go!

So Secret Weapon's modular table is a success.  If you haven't read my article a few days ago, it's here.  In about 3 days they have beaten their goal of $80,000 by a whopping 15k (as of this writing).  These guys have challenged the status quo that there is no market for prefabricated tables.  So no begins the wonderful journey of unlocking new themes.  Next up Urban Streets.

Warzone: Resurrection clears the £130k Stretch!

The Warzone::Resurrection Kickstarter is down to a day to go, and has surpassed the £130k mark.  What does that mean for backers?  Where does that put us for Mishima?

Warzone Resurrection breaks £120K! Could we see Mishima?

     With a little over 48 hours to go, the Warzone: Resurrection Kickstarter is still powering through, having now toppled the £120K mark-something I admit even I didn't think it'd reach! Are we in range of releasing Mishima? Will the MegaCorp of the Rising Sun make it to the kickstarter?

Kickwatcher: Modular Table from Secret Weapon Miniatures

Ok, today Secret Weapon Miniatures launched a Kickstarter that really blew my mind.  A line of injection molded plastic tiles that are used to make a gaming table.  I am only aware of one other such product, and I think Secret Weapon is going to really compete for the market.

Dwarven Forge crushes Kickstarter Goals!

     The Kickstarter for Dwarven Forge to produce their new "Game Tiles" range of modular dungeon walls is simply off the charts.  For RPG fans the advantages of this project is obvious. For TTG fans- this is your new dungeon/sewer/catacomb table.  Let's look at how further stretch goals are adding even more to your purchase.
