Getting Towards the End of the Kick Starter Campaign

We are getting towards the end of the current Kickstarter campaign.  Thank you to everyone who has pledged.  It’s not quite funded yet.

I’m really looking forward to sending out two color Game Tokens.

Remember that the game tokens will also be slightly larger as well. 🙂

Have a shiny weekend!

(I have my fingers crossed that the project will fund!)

Kickstarter Pt 2 – Resource Tokens

This week Paper Butterfly Forge launched a second kickstarter to support resource tokens.  We learned a lot during the first kickstarter project.

Product size: People like packages of ten.  We will be adding that option to this website.

People were not that fond of the color pink.  Not sure why, it’s a perfectly fine color.  Maybe not for dnd, though.

Shipping payment issues.  More people were willing to pay more for the tokens if I lowered the shipping prices.  Okay…….  I can do that!

We spent some R&D time on how to accurately add images to glass tokens.  It’s not as easy as it sounds.  I have to repeat the same image at least 1,000 times each year.  It took some fiddling, but I have it figured out now.

The token size is also increasing.  It makes it easier to make the image on the glass.
