Plus, We also have a very Special Guest on the show!!!

Congratulations:

WE have unlocked so many cool Stretch Goals, but there are a ton more coming!!!

Now all 3 models of 48" wide Toppers have an option to upgrade to Walnut!!! This Walnut is my favorite of all our models and I love and play on a Viking sculpted unit. they are beautiful heirloom quality.

These Acrylic covers/scoreboards are an awesome upgrade to enhance the cup holder sets. they works really well with the 2 dry erase markers included too! I love them!

Our Dice Tower/component tray is system is really cool, and now you get a deal!

I'm putting up an accessory video on the Campaign Page today that will show the Poker Chip Trays, the Dice Tower system and the Cupholder functionality.

NEW Stretch goals released 4-24-21
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Apr 27, 2021 at 07:51:11 AM

Greetings Game Topper Nation!!!

I hope you are all well and having a great weekend. 

It's been a long haul for me personally preparing for this campaign and managing our day to day work load, so my game playing has been very hit and miss, mostly miss, but I did get to play Dragon Castle from CMON and played it on this glorious "Great Wall" mat by Vincent Dutrait with my daughter Matti.

• Thanks all again for such a great start to this campaign! This is only the beginning!!! We have a bunch more planned so let's keep the enthusiasm rolling and get the word out and unlock all the cool stuff we have planned.

Speaking of which, here are  a few items just unlocked and new items listed

• Unlocked stuff:

This is a great deal! Honestly, I've owned a ton of gaming mats and I wanted to solve some of the problems with mats that I have had where the edges frayed, size was poor, and they did not rollout well after use, or would get bad memory issues. I have personally paid more for lesser quality mats that where more expensive than our Premium 3mm Stitched edge mats. We have gone to many extra lengths to insure proper sizing, art transfer and packaging so that our mats will last and perform for years with all the beauty they where intended. People rave about these mats! And NOW, you have unlocked quite a deal!

2 mats at a big savings, 2 free premium mat storage bags with clear window, and discounted shipping saving you another $10.00! You can buy as many of these bundles as you want! If you bought one of the packages and you want two of the smaller mats with your Rail bundle or XL bundle you can do it. XL BUNDLE! WHAT? Yup, we have a planned Stretch Goal to give you a deal on those too!!! Thanks for backing our XL Bundles!!!!

I absolutely love these these little thingy's. Use in the bottom of the collapsible cups or just stand alone. You can buy several sets! Sometimes it's the little things that can make a difference, and now they are in every package Free!

• New Listings:

This is a very nice bag and will sell for much more after this campaign. We offering now at this low price when you purchase your dining cover. It will ship in the bag and provided extra protection and combined shipping at no extra charge compared to buying later. I was super stoked to see how good this tuned out!

This stretch Goal is in response to our many XL backers who would love to have more choice. We are listening! We are looking to add these 5 most popular large mats and 1 more by popular choice.

If the outcry is loud enough, we might even be willing to unlock 8 Styles!!!! These are our most expensive mats to make and ship. but boy is it spectacular to see one of these in it's extended glory. Let us know. Space, Great Wall, Pirate, Fantasy, Scythe Inspired Resource mat, or Roman?

• What's next?

Stretch Goals:

There are a bunch more goals to unlock that you can view now! go check them out and help us unlock them! There are quite a few other items not even revealed yet so stay tuned for those! 

New Live Q & A

We plan to have a short leg kit install video up mid next week and will be doing another live Q & A with a special guest form the hobby!

Reviewer's:

I want to highlight a few of our reviewers and backers that made videos. In most cases, they purchased their topper in whole or in part. Of course when new items came in, I sent stuff out to many of them to look at, but that being said, the quality of people that I choose to surround myself with are people I trust and respect to shoot straight with you abut what we do. They really do love our stuff.

Randy and Ellen Kirby are such people!

I just love their enthusiasm, teaching ability in their playthroughs, and overall fun factor they bring to this hobby. I can't wait to game with them some day! They had a super fun time tearing into our "priceless" packaging. (I say priceless in jest, because each box cost me a small fortune and seeing them tuned into forts is killing me! lol) Seriously, they did great job showing how our product is packaged and set up and how versatile it is. They showed each accessory on their Premium Walnut Watson. a good watch!

Thanks everyone!!! I'll be back with an update Monday and then they may not be quite as often we'll see how much everyone wants!

We appreciate all the support, let's go to the moon!

Burky and team!

Greeting Game Topper Nation!!!

I cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming support and kind encouraging words. I do my best to respond to every message, email, social media post and chime in as I can on the comments section.

If I or we ever fail in the regard, I want you to know it is extremely important to me and our team to answer every question as honestly and quickly as possible. I'm always available at [email protected] and Josiah handles any shipping questions at [email protected].

• NEWS:

I have been jumping on all kinds of Podcasts, Facebook live and even a national syndicated show with BJ Shea of Geek Nation (more on that later). There has been very little sleep for this old man! Why do I do it? I care deeply about this product, and I care even more that we give you a good experience and upgrade every game you play! The success of any campaign is getting a lot of eyes on it. We have tons of wonderful supporters sharing the information about this product and it is so important! The better we do here, the more I can offer, and the more we can improve our products and capacity. We would kindly ask for you help in sharing this campaign!

I recently did an interview with James Hudson on the Board Game Spotlight that featured the topics of versatility of our system. Check it out it was very informative. We talk about the leg kits and the new art on our mats.

•  Leg kits and Dining Cover. video coming.

We have a video we are working on to show you the installation. It's really boring. It is so simple to attach these corner brackets and screw in the legs. They are recessed so you can put them on our table or take them off. The center supports for the Watson and Holmes are simple too, but we hear ya.  Please give us a bit of time to do that. We are a small family run business doing big things and working hard to address any concerns. I think you'll be surprised at how easy and solid they are.

We have had tons of questions about this. We are going  to do a live Q & A tomorrow (see below)

• What's next?

We have some amazing Stretch Goals planned and we have not even revealed a bunch of what we have planned. We are over 600 percent funded and 15 Goals unlocked. We always focus in our campaigns adding new items, but also enhancing the value of the Packages and Bundle Specials. This is a way we can reward customer loyalty with specials prices that are much better than normal prices. We are so excited about what we have in store to add value to your pledges.

If you are interested in the Limited Edition Sculpted Viking or Dragon toppers. We have worked with Dogmight Games. to produce these custom toppers. They are amazing and I highly recommend them!!!

 I personally inspected and sorted the wood sticks for color and grain match, and even hand signed each topper on the underside to show you how much attention to details matters to me. if you are interested, they are almost gone! This is ours in our game room playing Dwellings of Eldervale.

You have unlocked the ODIN and Dragon Bundle to trick them out! They are almost gone for early July/Aug delivery.

• Check out all the stuff that just unlocked!!!

• We just launched the next group of Stretch Goals.

This is a great value where you get 2 mats at a discount and get 2 mats storage bags free Plus discounted shipping! There 's more coming down the pike!!! 

I have to tell you these little rubber logoed coasters made me so happy, I have to say I love them!!!

 Durable, dishwasher safe and functional in our cup holders or just on your coffee table. They cover the can holder hole, that helps if you have irregular cups or water bottles that don't fit perfectly and provide a cool dice tray bottom or chip holder!

Seriously, our Padded Storage Bags are really great quality. Heavy duty material and reinforced zippers.

We have plans to even make this awesome bag included in our rail bundle no charge if we can hit some future goals! Stay with us and you will see that we will make it worth your wile!

Poker chip trays!  We wanted to give you a deal! I think these are must have items. Not only can they hook in the rail like the cup holders, they can use the leg accessories, so that they can attach to your rail just like the dice accessory trays and dice tower system. They are not only for poker chips, but other components while playing games. Mate these withy our Texas Holdem mat and you are going to have great time!!!

There are a bunch more Stretch Goals to unlock up now on the campaign to talk about later, but wanted to tease these  now. 

• We are going to try a live Steamyard feed tomorrow 2 pm CDT

We will discuss the new items and do a Q & A in our studio. We hope to do a bunch of these with guests on our future show too, via Steamyard on our Youtube channel and Facebook. this will allow you to join us and see what we are up to and aske questions.  These will be recorded and dropped on the bottom of our campaign page incase you can't make it.

Again thank you all very much for all the support and enthusiasm!!!

We hope to see you and interact soon!

 Burky and team.
