Pedion Terrain: And on we go! Our Pledge Total surpassed the £18000 limit, thus unlocking for you and all future backers out first Campaign Stretch Goal: the availability of Desert and Winter (Snow) ground types for your modular battlefields!
What this will actually mean: As a free Upgrade, all physical rewards with terrain tiles can now be of three variants: the original "Green Spring" theme, the Desert theme and the Winter theme.
When "locking" their rewards after the campaign, backers can choose the Ground Type of any or all Tiles in their Sets/add-ons to become Snow/Winter or Desert. Though the new Ground variations do not introduce completely new tile types, they do bring some exciting variations in existing tiles. Specifically:
Forest tiles in Desert boards will include palm trees instead of temperate forest trees. But you can upgrade your palm-tree "forest" to become an Oasis with a small pond in the middle. Or you can completely forgo the vegetation option, and turn your "forest" tile into a "Badlands" tile, with magnetic rock formations (mesas) to clip on the tile.
The same option of snow-covered badlands can be used by backers of Winter terrain as well; you can upgrade your "forest" and substitute your trees for magnetic snow-covered rocks. The rock formations will be available as a stand-alone add-on as well.
The river tiles in Desert board will also have the painted option of "Dried creek". In Snow variations you can upgrade painted or liquid glass rivers to have small pieces of drifting ice in the water (just for aesthetics or to actually help fording).
Some new Add-ons - The add-on/upgrade list has been updated a bit. Apart for now mentioning the upgrades to the new ground types, there are two new add-ons available: Solitary River tiles, in case the 5-tiles set was to big for your needs
Extra Pedion Sets, (actually the reward levels) for those who wished for another board in a different ground type, or to save some shipping for friends and gaming groups.
Next Stretch Goals
But this was only the beginning! Now two more Stretch Goals -one Social and one depending on Pledge Level- are within breathing distance. Share the project, spread the word, tell people how amazing Pedion can be, and we can achieve:
When we reach the number of 130 backers, each one of our physical reward levels will get an extra, free Tree. Plus, in case your Set or/and add-ons include Forests, each Forest tiles get one free tree as well. Only 16 more backers are needed!
The next pledge level Stretch Goal is quite close, at £20000, and it will unlock a NEW kind of Tile: the Crops/Orchard Tile. This kind of tile can either be a add-on to your Sets, or can upgrade Plain/Broken Ground tiles for a small extra pledge increase per substitution. We are less than £2000 away!
