Conflict-RPG (www.ConflictRPG.com) has had a great opening run with our first Battlemap, Keeper's Keep". Now we're expanding our product line with our latest map, "The Ancient's Atrium".
The 24" by 36 " symmetrical Battlemap can be used in both fantasy or sci-fi campaigns settings, as well as the tactically-heavy, Pathfinder compatible Conflict-RPG. The map will be printed on heavyweight paper with a high-gloss finish. With a 9 millimeter thickness and 89 rated brightness, the "Ancient's Atrium" is one of our sturdiest and most vivid maps to date.
Funds from this Kickstarter pre-order initiative will be used to produce and market the first run of the Ancient's Atrium Battlemap.
A Little About the Map's Design:
The Ancient's Atrium battlemap depicts a beautifully designed garden laced in ivory, a sanctuary of peace and harmony that invites comfort. Yet this Atrium is wickedly designed to become the center of conflict and strife. Perfectly symmetrical for tactical fairness, this map is made for strategists. Provideing a visually stunning environment that can be used for fantasy or sci-fi role-playing settings. Any GM can make the Ancient's Atrium place of peace and well deserved rest for players, or, if you're like us, a place of unexpected conflict.

Regarding awesomesauce, we just add Koi and Red Roses to the Atrium waterways. The details of this map is an area of emphasis for us.
So I think qualifies for an extra dash of awesomesauce?
We are now considering making this a double-sided map. How much of a diffrent would that make to you?
Post your reply below or here:
While I would love this map, what happens if we Pledge and you don't reach the minimum needed?
While I would love to pledge in some $ I would hate to explain to my Better Half why I got nothing for my effort.
Hate to be the one to ask this, but I'm sure others are wondering the same thing.

Here is How Kickstarter Works.
Every project has a funding goal (any dollar amount) and a time limit (from 1 - 90 days) set by the project creator. When the deadline is reached, there are either of two results:
1. Funding Successful: If a project has met or surpassed its funding goal, all backers' credit cards are instantly charged and funds go directly to the project creator. Project creators are then responsible for completing the project and delivering rewards as promised.
2. Funding Unsuccessful: If a project has NOT met its funding goal, all pledges are canceled. That's it.
To make a pledge to a project, click the green “Back This Project” button on any project page. You will be asked to pick your pledge amount and select a reward. From there, you will go through the Amazon checkout process. Note that you must finish the Amazon checkout for your pledge to be completed.
If the project you’re backing is successfully funded, your card will be charged when the project reaches its funding deadline. If the project does not reach its funding goal, your card is never charged. That's why we call them pledges.
Nothing. If funding fails, all pledges are canceled and that's that.
Here is the link to the Kickstarter's FAQ.
I have seen a few of this pledge initiatives before and just assumed the community was familiar with the kickstarter website. Sorry about that fellow gamers. Although, now I understand the hesitation. Hopefully this clears things up and we can this map to you and games stores everywhere.
Okay, that answers that....
Thanks and I hope to be hitting you up soon.

Based on a recommendation I added the following reward:
At $18 dollar pledge you receive : A printed copy of the finished "Ancient's Atrium" 24" x 36" BattleMap mailed to you.
I also made this map double-sided.
Hopefully we get a chance to bring this map to market.
Thanks again ,
Mark.
