Kickstarter: T5 Sci-Fi Terrain

Ein KS für Sci-Fi City Terrain.

Crowdfounding? Check. Terrain? Check. Laser geschnittenes HDF Gelände? Check.
Und wir sind mitten drin im täglichen Kampf um ein Stück vom großen Kuchen des Tabletop-Geländemarktes.

Hier möchten FireBucket Games mit ihrem urbanen Science Fiction Gelände landen.
Mit T5: (Tactical, Topographical, Table-Top Terrain): Tile City wollen FireBucket Games einen Laser-Schneider finanzieren um ihre Projekte in der eigenen Werkstatt umsetzen zu können. Dabei geht das Team schamlos selbstsicher zu Werke:

Ultimately, we get a laser cutter and international recognition as a team who knows how to use it.

This project is about making cool terrain to enhance the gaming tables of the world, but we will be using most of the money to purchase the tools that we need to do all of the manufacturing in house. After we’ve fulfilled our obligations for your rewards, we will still have the tools to use on future projects.

In diesem Kickstarter können verschiedene Produktgruppen erworben werden.
