Hey everyone! I'm taking my "healthier pace" seriously, and really taking advantage of the reduced stress to take my time and get the new Stormweaver material right! For that reason, this is going to be the first time there will be more than two weeks between chapters. I hope not to do it again anytime soon, and shouldn't have to at the pace of creation I'm maintaining now!

That being said, I do have a really, REALLY cool announcement just for you guys, finally revealing one of the Stormweaver Secret Projects!

To celebrate r/Warformed's upcoming 5k subscriber count, we're making our first playmat (signed by Bryce!), and everyone will be getting the desktop wallpaper for free!

The playmat will be funded through Kickstarter via our partners at Witchsong Miniatures, who did the lich bust for the Mother of Learning: ARC 1 Kickstarters.

HOWEVER... You guys are Patrons, so you obviously get additional goodies!

First: Patrons will be getting another signed postcard, this time of Rei and Aria!

Second: Patrons will be getting a second desktop wallpaper, designed with a team logo that has yet to be spoiled for you guys in the Early Access chapters!

Third, and coolest: Patrons who back the playmat Kickstarter will have their playmats signed in gold rather than in black sharpie!*

*putting an asterisk on this because this is assuming we can find a gold marker that will sign well on the playmats. If we can't we'll find another cool thing to make up for it!

The illustration attached above isn't the final but it's getting there! Hopefully you like what you see, and are as excited as we are to get these goodies after r/Warformed hit's 5k subscribers!

Looking forward to any thoughts or concerns!

Take your time, your health is important!

Awesome. By the way Sharpie makes a gold metallic marker (A few other metallic colors too) which works pretty well.

Shreyam Kumar

As someone new to Patreon, is there some place we have to update our address in order to receive postcards and such?

Marz

HELL YEAH!!!! I can’t wait to roll into FNM with this badass playmat!

Marz

When does the kickstarter start?

Wraithmarked Creative

Not sure yet! We're still pulling the assets together with Witchsong and working with Kickstarter, and it won't be till after r/Warformed hits 5k!

Marz

Bet!

Zack Newcomb

The artwork looks amazing. Love it.

DatGuyBidu

This is great but I have a question. I'm not from the States. Will you ship the mat abroad?

Declan

That art looks AMAZING!!!

Joanne Hans

I want that play mat for my MTG

Wraithmarked Creative

yup that's where Bryce got the idea from. we had to convince him to to apply Commander zones to it hahaha

Mike Frenkel

Wild. If only it could be used as mousepad lol

Joanne Hans

Now we just need a AD&D style campaign written, lol.

Clayton .mac

So stupid question. What is a "playmat" I'm drawing a blank on it?

Wraithmarked Creative

no worries! it's a soft, rollable mat that people use to play games on. very similar to mousepad material!

AzraelExiled

Man this is so awesome! I love the depictions of the characters

Tyler Thornton

Ive been looking for a good mat for fnm! So excited!

Carolyne

I love the artwork, and I am confused as to the use or purpose of a game mat? why do people use them? I am an avid reader with a limited understanding of gaming terminology or equipment.

Reaperess

Shut up and take my money! 😂 But for real I can't wait to buy it

Decent Human

With a quick search (I'm not very experienced either) seems like it's used for card games? I've also seen some saying it makes for an alright mousepad alternative, which is more tempting than I'd like to admit

Wraithmarked Creative

They make excellent "oversized mousepads" (I'm using one right now), as they add grip and personality to a flat desktop. But traditionally yes, they are used for gaming, usually card games, though people often use them for D&D and other tabletop games as well!

There are shiny signature foils you can iron onto mats that look really good and, while jot true signatures, the real signature can be on the back with the shiny pretty signature copy can be on the front. Several of the vendors at the cons do this and I have a Steve Argile mat with it and love the shiny

Frank Lamb

Don’t make me beg for it…. Leave me some dignity that I can crawl away with. Seriously though, the art is good. My only issue is that Rei isn’t that bulked up or tall. He’s what I would describe as ‘wirey ’. Don’t get me wrong, I am just going off of what I read. He is still shortish and lean. That should change in later books. But I think he is not the buff figure I am seeing in the art. He is nothing special to look at. Someone that if you saw them in a swimsuit you would ask them to sit down and eat something. Then call an ambulance and law enforcement because this kid has more scars than a POW from a gulag. He’s what we used to call a nerd. Later upgraded to geek. But I guess cover art that shows that kind of truth will not sell books.

Carolyne

Thank you for explaining. Like I said I love the artwork :-)

Joanne Hans

Rei just looks tall because he's at the forefront while everyone else is behind, its a matter of perspective.

Shannon Bryce

He said "The illustration attached above isn't the final but it's getting there!" So hopefully he will be slimmed down a bit. In another post he mentioned that Rei was too bulked in that art so he is aware.

Frank Lamb

That works in my mind. I was told that they are aware and doing as they see fit. Sounds good to me. They are listening and care.

Luke Burgess

When will the Kickstarter go live and are you just doing a single standard size for the playmat?

Celtic Knots

Can’t wait to back this via Kickstarter. Just tell us when/where!
