It started last week and has 30 days to go... Dwarven Forge's Game Tiles: Revolutionary Miniature Terrain KICKSTARTER!

Must... not... pledge...

I'd love to go for the $120,- set, which is 2 basic sets in grey with all the extra unlocked tiles, because that's a bargain, but as I live in Europe, the rediculous +$70,- shipping and the import taces 21% and the handling €12,50 would make that almost €200,- for me, and that's just rediculous. I'd pay more than double what people in the US would pay for the same stuff (€95,-). Sorry DF, but I guess you won't be getting many EU backers on this one...

this is awesome i backed it in the first couple hours i always wanted a df set but they are crazy expensive so i never got one but this is perfect

this is great!! i wonder how much all this would cost to ship to Canada....

Wow... $100 for shipping to Canada.... seriously? Nothing about this is any cheaper than what they were making before

Whereabouts do you live?
Living in the Niagara Region, I just use this service across the border: http://www.cbiusa.com/
They only charge $6 per parcel to hold it indefinitely. Saves me a tonne of shipping. I can drive over and pick up parcels I've been expecting all at once. I still get nailed for taxes at the border depending on the value, but even with the HST added on top (which is automatically added if shipped directly to Canada), it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than shipping across the border.

I live in Newfoundland... unfortunately shipping things here can sometimes be pretty difficult

The question that will come up for me...
Would it be worth building and "publishing" quests specifically tailored to dwarven forge stuff instead of HQ boards? (That's the kind of stuff my survey is actually about. I'm trying to figure out if everyone wants everything old style, or if building quests for things like dwarven forge dungeons would be worthwhile. (I personally already own a bunch of stuff, and am adding more in this kickstarter.)

For example, maps using http://www.dwarvenforge.com/mapmaker/ as a background for the board, and then layering monsters on top using the classic icons or something else.

The big question for me on this kickstarter is:
1) More sets (meaning more unlocked rewards too)
2) Painted Sets (which likely would better match all the master maze stuff I have)
3) Addons (especially when the next couple get unlocked, especially if the one at 1M unlocks)

or you just order these, and pay a LOT less: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/554 ... on-terrain
This is cast in resin, so a lot lighter than Dwarven Forge. Simpler too, but with a nice paintjob you can turn this into some awesome terrain.
