Thanks to all of you and your support we funded, thank you! This really is a dream come true that has been decades in the making.
So, what’s next?
First, make sure you have signed up for the forum (parallaxminiatures.com/forums), I will be upgrading members shortly to ensure you are in the beta forums. This is where we will be most of the game discussion too, but I will still be posting regular updates here so you will know what is going on.
The survey is next…in about 2 weeks, we will be able to send it out. That will give us what we need to produce and the numbers. Once all of this has been done, we start producing the models and all the other add-ons. At the same time, final beta testing will be taking place (again on the forums).
Layout needs to be finalized for the cards and we will be working with people at the designer levels to get their characters ready for the book too.
This is going to be a very very very busy few months and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited and I am.
Also, we will be announcing shortly a new program for brick and mortar stores to have your product delivered to them for pickup if you are interested. This way you can meet others in your area that backed the project and we will hopefully set up our first ‘official’ event!
Thank you all again for making this happen. As I said earlier – this Kickstarter isn’t just the launch of the game, but of the community around it – and you are a founding member. Only through the support of community members like you will the game grow.
Best, Adam

Hi All,
Background Video
A friend of mine Chung from the Wargamers Consortium posted a video today of us talking a few months ago about the project, how it started and where it is going.
If you have a minute, or thirteen, and want to learn more about the idea behind the game, the video is below.
As I am writing this I am happy to say we are only about $600 away from our first stretch goal with about 5 hours left. I really thing we will get at least one with your continued support.
Another Amazing Image
James Wappel was nice enough to show another one his photos today, this one is a combination of the Sicarius and Hadjen. To see this and more of his OMG work, please go to: http://wappellious.blogspot.com/
Thanks again for being a backer.
Best, Adam
...the final countdown

Hopefully that got your attention! This masterpiece was painted by James Wappel and if you weren’t a fan of his blog (http://wappellious.blogspot.com/), I’m guessing you are now. Please go to his blog and check out his other work’s of art.
So with less then 24 hours left I would like to thank everyone. It has been a fun 25 day rollercoaster ride and we still have time to hit at least one stretch goal…really we do…really! My hope is still for the print book.
So, what’s next? More updates and at least one or two more models. I will be working with Alex on the timetable for everything. Play testing for those interested will be done on the forum (parallaxminiatures.com/forums),so please make sure you are a member. The goal is to deliver early so production starts right after we get the surveys out and responses in.
The contest mentioned in your backer email will be coming to a close at the end of the campaign, so if haven’t updated your avatar…now would be a great time to do it. I can see those that did it on KS, if you did it on Facebook or someplace else, please let me know so I can include you in the drawing.
Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to thank my friends and family who have had to put up with me over that last few weeks. My mood swings with each email / text that I receive letting me know when a backer has come or gone and upped or lowered their pledge. I may not be an easy or kind person to live with.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
Best, Adam
P.S. A special thanks to Gav Thorpe for his amazing story, “A Fistful of Dirt”. If you aren’t a fan of his blog yet (http://gavthorpe.co.uk/) or haven’t sign up for his newsletter, please do. He is easily one of the greats!

With only hours left (71 as I write this), I've added a new stretch goal, the FREE PDF of the Choose Your Own Path book written by Tom Haswell.
This kicks in when we hit $10,000 and I realize that we have already passed this mark, but it is really really cool and I like sharing cool stuff.
The cover art is below and I hope you love it as much as I do. I really think Rick Hershey knocked this one out of the park, or rolled a natural crit, depending on what you like.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
P.S. Did you know we need less than $5K for the printed version of the book and less than 2.5K for a free model?
Lots of Cool New Things...

With only a week left we are really excited. We have funded and are well on our way to at least one stretch goal and hopefully more!
Today brings a lot of cool new things!
Mats by Mars
If you are looking for an awesome looking 3’x3’ mat to play Parallax on at an AMAZING price, look no further!
Our friends at Mats by Mars (https://matsbymars.com/collections/parallax-mats) is offering a 50% discount on their Parallax branded mats. This special discount is for anyone that backs at the $50 level or higher, and will be good for one mat. After the Kickstarter ends the discount code will be sent out. The backer will still need to pay for shipping, but Mats by Mars has made it as cheap as possible for you.
So one of the questions that we have been getting a lot lately is what if I just want a warband or want to add on a warband, can I do this? Now you can! For both the 28mm and champion sized we added 3 new add-ons!
The completist offers 1 of each model in the range. Including the new Hadjen model!
10-point warband: This is the perfect add-on for those people that have already backed but want more models or people that love the models, but want to use them for other games. The add-on lets you build a 10-point warband, but does not include the rules, character or mission cards.
20-point warband: Exactly the same as above, but with 20 points!!!
In addition, building a warband has never been easier. We have assigned all races a point cost instead of the individual models.
New Model
Let me introduce you to our new Hadjen, which is looking amazing and is currently a Work in Progress. This models will be available in both the 28mm and champion sized models. Looking for a chance to name him? Back at the designer level and create your own Hadjen character.
BackerKit
Having done other Kickstarters, we realize that one of the hardest parts after the Kickstarter is making sure that orders are accurately fulfilled with correct backer information and giving the backers the ability to add or change their add-ons.
This is why we decided to go with BackerKit as it gives us, and you piece of mind knowing that your order will be accurately and professionally taken care of. After the campaign ends we will be working with them to send out your survey.
