Greetings Game Topper Nation!

I hope you are all well and had a great Mother's Day. I took some time with family yesterday afternoon to celebrate both of my daughters who are moms and my beautiful wife Joan.

We have  live show today 3:30 PM CDT with Mark Maia from Board Game Coffee today. https://youtu.be/9egdSFXteQs

Love to have you join us if you can.

• NEWS:

We are going to reveal a couple of the improvements we have made to the dining covers and option that will be available and well as some new items. ...And I got something in the mail today!!!!

• Recent unlocked stretch goals:

Congratulations you now get a huuuge savings on converting both halves of your topper into 2 mini toppers! 

We love The Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast. Please check them out on their upcoming Kickstarter June 2nd https://thesecretcabal.com/

•  Double rail backer get a free double padded rail bag and 2 mat storage bags. great value for our loyal backers!!!!

•  What's next?

I'm so glad you asked?

This is a super cool, heavy duty, reinforced corners, reinforced carry straps, and individual padded dividers Dining/Gaming Cover storage bag. I marked it 50 Percent OFF to encourage you to get it, as I think it will make a better shipping solution and almost a must have item to safely store your covers and protect them from scratching one another. So I'm willing to receive less to make this happen for you.

Lastly,

I met a an artist from my small home town, Jeff Zachmann who saw our Kickstarter. Surprisingly, he was running a Kickstarter Campfire Flyers where he makes kinetic art sculptures. He reached out to me and in spite of both our busy schedules, he toured our fulfilment center and then I toured his work shop/lair and his other business Fergus Falls Brewery. What a pleasure it was seeing the amazing art he has done! He has sculptures all over the world, Paris, UK, Australia, and the Smithsonian Institute to name a few.

Now, he has made kinetic flying dragons for your camp fires and/or a castle fire pit with dragons. The heat moves the wings its amazing!!! I was blown away! I'm getting one!!!

There is only 2 days left! I thought it was worth sharing with you and if this is something that catches you eye check it out. He is a highly credible individual. 

Thanks again everyone!!!!

Burky and team!

NEW Stretch goals released 4-24-21
almost 3 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!
