Is that artwork on the dungeon tiles lifted from paizo flip mats?
Just to show as a preview and for play testing in person. I have an artist currently designing 12 different terrain type. My biggest cost is the art; each piece cost me around 30 dollars. So 320 monsters, 200 feats, gear...and so on.

Pretty sure using Paizo's art (i.e their copyrighted property), especially on a product you are trying to sell (via Kickstarter), is a big no-no ...

That was my thought as well.

Are the cards laminated? What stock are they on? The rewards mention "the game", do you instead mean the pack with all the goodies?
A suggestion, You are wasting a full line of space on the back of the monster cards. You could have the CR, XP, alignment, and size all on the top line. Or rather CR and XP

Please don't take this the wrong way, but ... in addition to swiping the map art from Paizo for your demo (which you don't mention anywhere in your Kickstarter) so it really looks like that is the quality of the map art folks would get, instead of showing what the tiles will ACTUALLY look like ... isn't this basically the same as the 5" × 8" map tiles Paizo produces in their various Pathfinder Map Packs

If I understand correctly it isn't, because he has other things in the package like pregen PC/NPCs, monster cards, and the map tiles are mag backed. It is still sort of strange that he chose to demo it with the map packs rather than use like gaming paper as a stand in.

Audacity fixed, I updated the page. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Lastoutkast, thanks for putting that up there, and it is right under the video so it is nice and clear. It is great that you are responding to feedback.
Still curious about my questions up thread though :)
Thanks, doing my best to keep up with all of it :)
that info is closer to the bottom of the page past the demo pictures.| Lastoutkast |
Thanks Lastoutkast
You are responding to feedback almost instantly which is great.
I know you earlier said that your largest expense would be the art.
If the goal is not met what are the chances you could do an artless version?
Thanks, I'm trying :)
Fairly low. If I didn't have to have art I could make it now, the thing is I want to make something that welcomes new players and makes the game faster for veteran players. New players love art more than they want to read a 360 page book. But if there is an outcry for it I'd be more than happy to put one out.

Will the tiles be fairly compatible with WotC Dungeon Tiles? Meaning, are they of about the same thickness?
Note: I understand the danger of using Dry Erase compatible (your product) next to a Non-Dry Erase product. (Dungeon Tiles), but is your goal to make them similar?
There a little thicker.
Not really, I'm going for quick and modular vs. a super detailed dungeon but I do plan on putting in a few 1"x1",2"x2",3"x1",4"x1" long tiles to make better pathways.

I'm going to add a pdf version of the aid due to your suggestion. So thank you :)
