Show older commentsCreator David Main on July 18, 2012
Just got mine over here in England. The minis look great and the box looks plenty big enough to fit them and small enough to fit in my bag. Can't quite identify all the monsters at a glance yet, but I will get there. Thanks for all the effort you put in.
Creator Chuck Stewart on July 17, 2012
Received my package today. It is great!
Thanks for everything.
Creator Kevin Watson on July 14, 2012
Received my package this week. Very happy with the results. Thanks again.
Creator Joseph H. on June 28, 2012
I host a big party in two weeks, hope the minis will arrive on time. Any news on the organiser boxes?
Creator Inkwell Ideas on May 31, 2012
Kevin: Also, make sure you saw the latest update (#24). In case you didn't see it, the short versions is: I'm adding some more creatures to the mix based on PDF feedback and that's the reason for the delay.
Creator Inkwell Ideas on May 31, 2012
Kevin: Progress is being made with the goal of getting them all sent out before the 15th. Can't say exactly when yet though.
Creator Kevin Watson on May 31, 2012
Is there any update on the production/delivery of the physical products?
Creator Andrew C. Durston on May 24, 2012
Joe - thanks for the update. Am looking forward to the paper copies of the revised PDF.
Creator Greg Elkins on May 23, 2012
Been really quite, hope everything is going well
Creator Inkwell Ideas on May 9, 2012
Yep. I'm almost done putting the PDFs together. But they might not be available until tomorrow. Stock art is also in the middle of going out. I'll post an update in the next day.
Creator Chad Lubrecht on May 9, 2012
Looks like the lists have all been moved to completed.
Lots and lots of excellent art here.
Creator Greg Elkins on May 4, 2012
PDFs look go to...if we paid for extra sheets are the examples pages on the stock art available
Creator Robert Tornai II on May 3, 2012
If you goin gto label creatures, please just label the rarer ones. Everyone should know what a dragon is by the art work.
Creator Inkwell Ideas on April 11, 2012
James: My plan is to post an update every 2 weeks, and we're a few days away based on the last one. (I don't want to spam everyone more often than that unless there's really substantive news.) Here's a preview:
-You can always go to the stock art and stand-ins minis pages on the Inkwell Ideas website to get the latest update of what art is complete vs. assigned vs. not yet assigned. Go to http://www.inkwellideas.com and look for the stock art and stand-ins links on the menu/sidebar.
-I have been laying out the sheets of minis. I'll likely include a preview of a couple in the update.
-For the "All" stock art backers, I have posted download links for the art that has been delivered to date\. Because they are getting all the art, an added perk for them is to get it early. (It is also feasible to give it to them early because they don't need to wait for all the art to choose a smaller number of pieces.)
Creator James Aulds on April 11, 2012
anything new?
Creator Robyn Nixon on March 16, 2012
I see that $$ was pulled from my account this week. I look forward to having these to show off at my tables at Paizocon/Gencon/Strategicon summer/fall gaming conventions.
Those of you at the cons, stop by the Paizo PFS organized game areas and check them out. I am excited to NOT have to lug my regular minis on the airline.
Creator Steve Russell on March 15, 2012
Congratulations, Take the rest of the week to enjoy the success, but don't blow all the money on Strippers and Beer!
When you get back, (please do take some time to enjoy your succes) could you give us an update on how you plan to start giving access to the stock art images, and what service will you use, etc.
Creator nils on March 15, 2012
Congratulations all!
Creator Justin Halliday on March 14, 2012
Well done funders!
Creator Inkwell Ideas on March 10, 2012
I do plan to send them early, but most of the delay is getting the art completed. Maybe early May instead of late May.
Joe
Creator Greg Elkins on March 10, 2012
might we get the PDFs sooner?
Creator Inkwell Ideas on March 9, 2012
I expect to ship them in May.
Creator Greg Elkins on March 9, 2012
Hadn't seen it asked before, and just was wondering..How long do you figure it willt ake before you can start shipping
Creator Steve Russell on March 8, 2012
Having worked with Jason Rainville, Eric Quigley, and Jeff Ward I am looking forward to this project.
Creator nils on March 6, 2012
Joe, please do include a list with the final package that states which artist created what monsters. (I guess you planned on this anyway, but just in case...)
Creator Inkwell Ideas on March 4, 2012
@Joseph H: Yes, there are 16 plastic stands in the $25 pledge. Extras are $3 for 10 more stands.
Creator Joseph H. on March 4, 2012
Will there be in the package actual stands to allow the mini-cards to stand upright? If not, do you know where these can be found? It'll be cool to have sturdy platic cards with the monsters, but even better if we can actually use them instead of miniature figures. Also, the monsters will be printed on both sides, right?
Creator Kurt Schneider on March 3, 2012
Pledged $42, because it's a cool number. Consider it the $25 pledge, with the organizer box ($10), plus another sheet, preferably of humanoids ($3), plus four bucks for y'all.
Creator Inkwell Ideas on March 1, 2012
@Joseph H: Thanks for the pledge! Yep, your revision was correct. But I'll get the details after pledging is complete through the survey I'll send a couple weeks later. We'll finish all the art and I'll have it all laid out so you'll know exactly which minis are on which sheets so you can pick the sheets you want with all the info you need.
Creator Joseph H. on March 1, 2012
After more reading, I changed my pledge to "PLEDGE $25 OR MORE" while still giving 50$. Together with my previous comment where I gave all the details, you should be able to sort it out.
Creator Joseph H. on March 1, 2012
Hello, first time I use kickstarter, I just pledged 50$. I wanted the Laminated Cardstock Minis (25$) with 2 extra sheets (6$) and the Organizer Box (10$), I've added 9$ for the shipping. Curiously, Kickstarter never asked me anything about it, I could just select "PLEDGE $50 OR MORE" which gives 50 Web-size monster images - which is nice but really I'm interested in the printed version which should be very handy in our Pathfinder sessions. Can you confirm I did it right and will be able to receive the Laminated Cardstock Minis or should I change something in kickstarter to receive the Cardstock *instead* of the web-size monster images? Of course, best if I can have both but I'm not sure if it's the case :D
Creator Inkwell Ideas on February 18, 2012
@James: yep,there will definitely be guide lines.
Creator James Aulds on February 18, 2012
are there guide lines to cut them or not?
Creator Inkwell Ideas on February 17, 2012
Sorry Justin, not pre-cut. Can't do it economically. Although I will be doing my best to make it so they can be cut with as few cuts as possible. (Except where it limits the number of creatures on a sheet. I've been trying to lay out 5 dragons in each of 3 different sizes on a "dragon" sheet" and it takes some creativity. Each gets its own rectangular area of appropriate size, but when you're cutting them apart there is a good bit of dog-legging. As I said, I'll try to minimize that.)
Creator Greg Elkins on February 16, 2012
Joe
Options sound good to me
Creator Justin Halliday on February 16, 2012
Hi Joe, are the mini sheets pre-cut?
Creator Inkwell Ideas on February 16, 2012
@Greg: generally even the leaders can double as extra melee combatants. Other than some extra piece of armor or ring, necklace etc. That said, yes, the plan is to have a sheet with extra/higher ratio of grunts. However, I'm still unsure if I can offer a sheet that is all just one common foe such as orcs with 3 leaders, 6 spellcasters, 12 bowmen and 36 sword-wielders. (I think I can fit about that many medium creatures on a sheet.) I'm just worried that will cause me to layout too many sheets. If I don't do that, there will be at least a few sheets where each sheet has 3 grunt creature types (orcs, hobgolblins and lizardmen for example) where each creature type will have 1 leader, 2 spellcasters, 4 bowmen, and 12 melee guys.
What do you think of those options?
Creator Greg Elkins on February 16, 2012
If we buy extra sheets of the minis are the copies of the same sheet or can we have different figures add. Such as getting extra orc ad/or gnoll soldiers in a extra sheet but not the leader. After all only need so many leaders.
Creator Inkwell Ideas on February 15, 2012
The PDF should still give you images that are 250-300 pixels for the medium creatures, so I think you should be OK. The web images are a different reward from the PDF.
Creator Justin Halliday on February 15, 2012
Should be big enough for you, the web images are 600px on the longer side.
Creator Michael Iachini on February 15, 2012
Cool project! I've signed up to get the PDF of all images. My plan is to use them for my own MapTool games. Will the resolution be high enough? I use 256 pixel circles for my monsters, but they are ultimately sized to a 50 pixel grid for Medium-sized creatures.
Creator Justin Halliday on February 10, 2012
Congratulations!
Creator Andrew C. Durston on February 10, 2012
Congrats on meeting the goal!
Creator Kevin Scott on February 10, 2012
Why can't the next stretch-goal be humans and demi-humans? They're very commonly used, and often times the "bad guys" which are kind of like monsters. That restriction seems arbitrary and makes the whole project less useful.
Creator nils on February 10, 2012
Thanks Brian!! - If we end up close to some threshold I'll throw a few more bucks in too, but let's first see where we stand in 30 days :-)
Creator Coinneach Uasal on February 10, 2012
Upped my ante...let there be minis for all! This I command! - Serpentor
Creator Justin Halliday on February 9, 2012
$12 to go? Surely that last guy could have put a bit more in!
Creator Inkwell Ideas on February 9, 2012
Sorry guys, but humans/demi-humans are not part of the vision of the project. (Except for making a few of the zombies/skeletons demi-human as well as human.) I'm not going to add them because every one of those cuts down the monster count. And as large a collection of monsters as possible is the vision for the project.
A follow up project is very possible though.
Creator nils on February 9, 2012
I'd like to see humans (and their ilk) too, and I agree that there's enough variety there for a follow-up project. I mean, just consider:
- Races
- Genders
- Type (Ranged, Melee, Unarmed, Wizard)
And you end up with dozens already.
Still, otoh, putting a limited selection in the poll probably doesn't hurt either. Maybe:
- Human Brigands (2 archers, 2 melee)
Make them not-too-shabby and they could be used as soldiers or adventurers too.
And they could then even serve as samples or core for a possible humanoid stock art & minis follow up project.
Creator Justin Halliday on February 8, 2012
Re: Humans: I appreciate that Humans are going to be in the stand-ups, but I'd like to see humans in the monster art set as well.
Humans have been in just about every monster manual except for the SRD (and the SRD contains Elves, Dwarves and the like). Just focusing on 'monsters' means that many of the sorts of enemies that are in common use (Guards, Brigands, Thugs, etc) are excluded because they're not defined as 'monsters'. This seems unnecessarily limited, and also takes too narrow a definitionof what are valid monsters (what's in the SRD) and what aren't.
All I'm asking is for you to put Humans on the surveys as an option for some of the additional art (that looks like it'll get done), and if the backers want them, they'll vote for them. I know that I'd prefer humans (such as guards, brigands, thugs, etc) ahead of any of the other monster options that are presently on the surveys.
