Tactical Tokens Kickstarter

Disclosure: Dave Leek didn't ask me to write this. I do know him from a Facebook art group I was posting in, where he asked to use our art for a token project, and at the time I wasn't aware he was going to do a Kickstarter. I was going to give it a shoutout before being added to the Kickstarter, but even now the only thing we're getting out of it is a token pack featuring our art.
We're big fans of minis. We've got literally an entire closet full of plastic drawers, packed with mostly-sorted Reaper and pre-painted D&D minis. There's more, some just heaped in boxes or dumped into other plastic drawers along with our Dwarven Forge collection. Besides that, several bookcases are topped with a few Gargantuan dragons, a Colossal red dragon, a few limited edition Gale Force minis, and that big-ass totally-not-Tiamat Reaper "mini".
Buuut minis can be pretty damned expensive and can take up a lot of space, so Dave Leek has started a Kickstarter for what he's calling Tactical Tokens. Visually they're tokens, same as I got in a few 3rd and 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons box sets (specifically Monster Vault and maybe the DM box). They're flat, easy to store, and if I lost one or one got broken it wouldn't be much of a financial hit. Also great for representing monster hordes.
A few nice touches beyond your standard token--that I'm used to anyway--are an epoxy coating to make them spill resistant, plus dry erase safe so you can write on them if you want. They can also be flipped over to a B&W side to indicate that one is dead, or affected by a condition. Finally, it looks like Dave plans to set up a site so that you can upload whatever art you want and do a print-on-demand thing.
So if you're into tokens, check it out! If you want tokens featuring our art, here's the update where he showcases the tokens he's made. If there's something we've drawn that you want him to add as a token, hit us up and we'll let Dave know. Or hit up Dave and we'll probably give him the okay.
Announcements
You can now get a physical copy of Dungeons & Delvers: Black Book in whatever format you want! We've also released the first big supplement for it, Appendix D, so pick that up if you want more of everything.If you want more adventures, we just released Escape From the Flesh Catacombs: a bunch of 0-level characters need to escape from the catacomb-lair of a gorgon that was slain, causing everything she's petrified to revert to flesh and rise as undead.
Our latest Dungeon World class, The Apothecary, is now available.
Dwarven Vault is our sixth 10+ Treasures volume. If you're interested in thirty dwarven magic items (including an eye that lets you shoot lasers) and nearly a dozen new bits of dungeon gear, check it out!
By fan demand, we've mashed all of our 10+ Treasure volumes into one big magic item book, making it cheaper and more convenient to buy in print (which you can now do).
