Something for the weekend?

Answers to some frequently asked Questions - 

Q - Does Towns & Taverns line up with the Dungeon?

A - Yes, here are some examples of maps you could make. The Dungeon will be an optional purchase in the pledge manager and is available now from your local gaming store.

Something suspicious may be happening in the bowels of this tavern!
Grave robbing or archaeology, you decide.
Go under the bridge they said, it'll be fun down in the sewers they said...

Q - Can I add extra books in the pledge manager and will this affect postage?

A - You will be able to change pledge level and select extra pledge levels as optional purchases in the pledge manager after the Kickstarter (this is also where we collect shipping fees and address details). 

Your shipping will be based on your pledge level and will not increase with optional purchases*.  

(*please be aware you will only be able to select the Twice the Towns & Taverns optional purchase in the pledge manager if you have selected the Twice the Towns & Taverns pledge level. You can change to this pledge in the pledge manager if you would like the extras).

Q - Can I add on your existing books?

A - Yes, optional purchases will happen in the pledge manager. Our back catalogue will be available, you can find more info on all our books here - www.lokebattlemats.com. We will do a full update on optional purchases next week as it deserves more space than we have here.

All our books are also available from your local gaming store.

Thanks again for all your support!

A Closer look at the Twice the Towns & Taverns pledge level & Social Stretch update
about 4 years ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2020 at 01:30:44 AM

Good Afternoon Adventurers!

As we work our way towards our next stretch goal it seemed an opportune moment to share a closer look at our Twice the Towns & Taverns pledge. We have had a few questions and as pictures are probably the easiest way to explain I will keep the words to a minimum!

The twice the Towns & Taverns pledge level gets you

  • Two copies of Towns & Taverns (so 2 x two books set)
  • One copy of the Little Book of Battle Mats - Towns & Taverns Edition
  • Digital Towns & Taverns
  • All unlocked physical & digital stretch goals

So what does that look like on the table?

This layout is 48" x 36" including the little book used as a bridge.
Bridge District with a ship passing by leading in to the lanes and guild quarter (48" x 30")
Docks and interiors with bonus alley (36" x 48")

Finally please keep sharing this! We want to get those sticker packs added once we hit £150k so lets get this done!!!

100K has Unlocked the City Ruins! Now lets get some stickers!
about 4 years ago – Sun, Mar 01, 2020 at 09:11:56 PM

Attention Adventurers!

We have unlocked our Fifth stretch goal and now we are adding 4 pages of City Ruins maps into Towns & Taverns! (2 pages per volume).

Here's what they look like.

City Ruins theme added to both books (Designs are work in progress)

We haven't heard what happened here but it has decimated the local population and left prosperous settlements in ruins. But are those ruins empty and are there any remains of the former wealth left here?

Next Stretch Goal is for Stickers!
 

£150K will add a FREE pack of Town Trimmings - Add-On Static clings with every book set.

Static clings that work on any laminated surface.

So you will get one free pack with the 'Towns & Taverns' and 'Towns & Taverns PLUS' pledge levels, and Two free packs with the 'Twice the Towns & Taverns' pledge level.

The Town Trimmings will allow you to customise your map books. Generic buildings can become temples, churches, shops, blacksmiths and even palaces. Roofs allow you to surprise your party and we'll try and find room to squeeze in some traps.

(Town Trimmings will remain an optional purchase in the Backerkit Pledge Manager so you will be able to buy more packs if required!)

And after this we have a very cunning plan for our next stretch goal. You'll have to bear with us for a short spell while we hit this one then we can reveal the next stretch goal.

And finally back to our social stretch goals which will add content to our digital package (which is included with every pledge level). Lets get going on those!

P.S. It's been requested in the comments, and as agreed, here's a mock up showing the Graveyard from the 'Giant Book of Battle Mats' alongside the recently unlocked Cemetery from 'Towns & Taverns'.

£85K and our Fourth Stretch Goal goes in!
about 4 years ago – Sat, Feb 29, 2020 at 08:54:03 PM

Attention Adventurers!

We have unlocked our Fourth stretch goal and now we are adding 4 pages of Cemetery maps into Towns & Taverns! (2 pages per volume).

Here's what they look like.

Cemetery theme added to both books (designs are work in progress)

Good luck with the shambling hordes who lie restlessly in shallow graves dotted randomly around this graveyard. And their richer counterparts who need a hand getting out of those lovely marble mausoleums......

The next theme to unlock is the City Ruins.
 

£100K will unlock 4 City Ruins pages (2 per book)

And finally back to our social stretch goals which will add content to our digital package (which is included with every pledge level). Lets get going on those!
