The Eye of the Cyclops Kickstarter now live!

[Alex Bates]

Heya folks, the newest Forge of Ice Kickstarter is live – the “Eye of the Cyclops”!

It’s a 30 page game booklet and a set of miniatures to go with it – the Cult of the Eye.  A complete encounter set for tabletop wargames and RPG’s.

Thanks for looking!

Very cool, Alex!!

Thanks, guys.  Two days into the campaign and it’s 90% funded.  Looks like some of the stretch goals will likely be unlocked!

Looks like fully funded now!

Fully funded, and we’ve hit the first stretch goal!  Cyclops automatically upgraded to the armored version!  Next up, at $4500, everyone gets free shields with their sets!

Congrats!
How do you see the offer, as a slick fancy scenario with extra figures, as figures with a scenario, or as a combined equal offering?
I guess also, what have people most pledged for?

The vast majority of the pledges are for the full set.

I see this as a complete encounter scenario – similar to the boxed encounter sets that Grenadier used to make.  It’s a set that you can buy and with very little effort use them as opponents for a few sessions of a RPG game, or as a series of connected scenario battles for a skirmish-scale tabletop miniatures game.

It’s the sort of story-heavy but rules-light game book that I’ve always wanted… I guess I’ll have to wait to see what the public things, whether it’ll appeal to more than just me!  I’ve never cared much about rules, for me it’s about the background, the setting, the story.  … I am aware that I may be in the minority there! 😀

So far people seem to like it, Alex, I would buy in if it was offered in 15 mm !!! Wink wink.

I for one love this kind of format!

Alas 28mm is to big for me 

Now in 15mm I’d be all over it.
(Hint hint Micheal)

Cheers,

Stroezie.

You guys and your 15mm …

The Shrine of the Cyclops could easily be an Oliphaunt skull in 15mm 🙂

Just sayin’… 😀

Things are going pretty well with the Kickstarter!

It’s fully funded, and we’ve made a solid foray into the stretch goals. The armored cyclops sculpt has been unlocked (and is being sculpted by David Soderquist as we speak!), everyone gets free shields for their cultists, the Guard Captain has been unlocked (and is being sculpted by Patrick Keith!), the pet lizard has been unlocked (already sculpted by Dave Cauley!), and we’re well on our way towards everyone getting free sacrificial skull piles with which to decorate their hidden temples!

And I’ve got more planned! I just sketched out what I think is a unique treasure pile a few days ago and lined a sculptor up to start work on it, and I’ve spoken with someone about new cult guard sculpts, too.

Check out the Kickstarter – share the link, tell your friends, please 🙂

I’ve also made a big chunk of my regular catalog available as add-on purchases, so, if you’be been waiting for an excuse to buy my stuff, now is a good time!

Thanks for looking!

(And I’m looking forward to whatever you come up with, Etranger!)
