Zomtober Week 3 from Ali

Well, another week has come and gone, and due to a ridiculous case of road rash on my palms from a running accident, I have been fairly useless. Fortunately I had just enough dexterity to grasp a brush, so I was still able to eek out a couple zombies. No, that misspelling was intentional; don't correct it.

Tablescapes unlocks Ruined Temple Display- 40 hours and counting!!!

    The Tablescapes Kickstarter from Secret Weapon keeps humming along, and is just about to enter the last day and a half.  Having just unlocked the "Ruined Temple" Display board, does it have enough steam left to unlock the entire table?

Less then 2 days left on Tablescapes...

Secret Weapon's Tablescapes is in the final 48 hours.  And as of this writing they had less then $3,000 dollars to go to unlock the "Ruined Temple" display board.  Today they released the concept art for the display board, and I really hope they make it.

Tablescapes makes a Run for the Temple!

     No, Secret Weapon is not involved in a new Indian Jones movie. (Which is a shame, because the sets would most definitely look better!)  What we have is a ruined temple, a ticking clock, and some fantastic artists renders. Come take a look before it's too late!

Tablescapes just keep "rolling" along, passes 200K

Secret Weapon's modular table Kickstarter, Tablescapes, has passed the 200k mark.  What does that mean?  Well it means that the latest themed board has been unlocked and it's the first one that is truly setting neutral.  But there is more, so read on for the details.

Tablescapes and Deadzone: A Match Made in TTG

Yesterday Secret Weapon announced a partnership with Mantic Games to release a display board specifically for Mantic's new game, Deadzone.

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!

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...

Tablescapes goes past 130k

Secret Weapon's Tablescapes modular tables Kickstarter passed 130k today.  This means they "clean" urban set has unlocked.  The display board sets have unlocked, and we now are within striking distance of the "ruined" urban sets.

They have also given us some new concept art for the newest tile set, along with the urban wall set.  Take a look, and if you havn'e pledged yet and you are going to Adepticon, Secret Weapon will have the sample tiles there.  If you see them there, let us know what you think of them.

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...

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.

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.
