For a $5 add-on to your pledge, you can add-on the Diminutive Mage [Type I]



a super powerful Demon Prince [Type II]


For those who got into Super Dungeon Explore then these would be ideal to use for that game.

So go have a look and support a great guy and his Company.

Cheers
LGW



Mordheimer's Edit: I added the KickTraq live tracker. Hope you did not mind the intrusion!

Dimunitive Mage my ass that's so DM from the dungeons and dragons animated series.

mmmm most likely because it is based on the T.V series????

I didn't click until now but each character is from that series even the unicorn is a planned goal so DAM I am so glad my sweet heart of a daughter saw this and got me to pledge.

For those that are young... these are THE characters from the old Dungeons & Dragons TV series from the 80's... Chibi Anime Style. No, they are not wannabees, but the "real deal"... hehehe... actually, a parody of the characters, so there is no copyright infringement. The D&D Cartoons are responsible for GENERATIONS of RPG fans... this guy is hitting a nerve here!





Because is a parody, the proper names of the character can't be used. Here is a rundown on the D&D Characters, those in orange are part of the model collection...

• Hank, the Ranger: At 15, he is the oldest of the gang, along with Eric, and a natural leader. He is brave and noble, never loses his head, even being in danger. Hank is a Ranger, with a magical bow that shoots magical arrows of glowing energy. These arrows could be used in many different ways such as a climbing tool, to hurt enemies, to bind them or to create light.
  
  
• Eric, the Cavalier: The cavalier is the spoiled child, originating from a rich home. On the surface Eric is the big-mouthed coward of the show, and he also fulfills the role of the comic relief character. Despite his egotism, selfishness, and snobbery, Eric is potentially also the most realistic character, complaining about the dire situations in which he is involved and voicing concerns which might be common to inhabitants of our world transplanted to the Realm. Despite his cowardice and reluctance, Eric has a well-hidden heroic core, and constantly saves his friends from danger with his magical shield, which can project a force field. One time he is even granted the powers of the Dungeon Master, and manages this duty quite successfully. Series developer Mark Evanier revealed that Eric's contrary nature was mandated by parents groups and consultants to push the then-dominant pro-social moral for cartoons of "The group is always right; the complainer is always wrong."
  
  
• Diana, the Acrobat: Diana is a beautiful and brave 14-year-old girl. She is an acrobat, and an outspoken and tomboyish member of the group. She carries a magic staff which can shift in length from short to long and can be used as a defensive weapon, an offensive weapon, or as a prop during various acrobatic moves. She is skilled at handling animals, and is a self-assured, confident person. These qualities make her the natural leader in the absence of Hank. It is mentioned that Diana is chosen as the acrobat because in her real world she is an Olympic-level gymnastics practitioner.
  
  
• Presto, the Magician: 14-year-old Albert, better known as Presto, is the wizard. Presto fulfills a role of the well-meaning, diligent, but hopeless magician. He suffers from low self-confidence and nervousness, which manifests in the use of his magical hat. He is able to pull an endless succession of various tools from it; but often these will be, or appear to be, of little use. There are also numerous instances when the whole group is in danger, whereupon Presto will draw from his hat precisely what is needed in order to save all of his friends.
  
  
• Sheila, the Thief: As the thief, Sheila has a magical cloak which, when the hood is raised over her head, makes her invisible. Although Shelia is often shy and nervous she will always display bravery when her friends are in trouble, especially her younger brother Bobby. Shelia is also the first to point out the flaws or dangers of the group's plans. In both the Spanish versions of Spain and Latin America, Sheila is called a mage or illusionist.
  
  
• Bobby, the Barbarian: Bobby is the youngest member of the team (he has his eighth birthday in the "Servant Of Evil" episode). He is the barbarian, as indicated by his fur pants and boots, horned helmet, and cross belt harness. He is Sheila's younger brother; in contrast to her, Bobby is impulsive and ready to run headlong into battle, even against physically superior enemies usually resulting in one of the others moving him from harm's way. He has a close relationship with Uni and is often reluctant to leave her when they discover a way home. Bobby carries a magical club, which he regularly uses to trigger earthquakes.
  
  
• Uni, the Unicorn: Uni is Bobby's pet, a baby unicorn, which Bobby discovers in the first episode and retains as his companion throughout the show. She has the ability to speak, though her words are not quite discernible; she usually is heard echoing Bobby when she agrees to his opinions. As seen in the episode "Valley of the Unicorns", Uni also possesses the potential for the natural unicorn ability to teleport, and has accessed this power through tremendous concentration and effort; it is intimated that she is still too young to use this ability regularly.
  
  
• Dungeon Master (Diminutive Mage): The group's friend and mentor, he provides important advice and help, but often in a cryptic way that does not make sense until the team has completed the quest of each episode. It is the Dungeon Master who supplies the companions with their weapons and clues for their numerous opportunities to return home. As the series progresses, from his repeated displays of power, it begins to seem possible and later, even probable, that the Dungeon Master could easily return the companions home himself. This suspicion is confirmed in the script for the unmade series finale, "Requiem", wherein the Dungeon Master proves he can do just that, without any difficulty. In some episodes, including "City at the Edge of Midnight" and "The Last Illusion", realm inhabitants display great respect or nervous awe of Dungeon Master.
  
  
• Venger, Force of Evil (Demon Prince): The main antagonist and the Dungeon Master's son (as revealed in the episode "The Dragon's Graveyard" and again in the lost episode "Requiem"), as well as Karena's brother ("Citadel of Shadow"), Venger is an evil wizard of great power who seeks to use the children's magical weapons to bolster his power. Though described as an evil force, comparable to the devil, it is occasionally hinted that he was once good, but fell under a corrupting influence. This is later revealed to be true in the unmade finale "Requiem", when Venger is restored to his former self.
  
  
• Shadow Demon: A shadowy demon, he is Venger's personal spy and assistant. He often informs Venger about the kids' current quests.
  
  
• Tiamat: Venger's arch-rival is a fearsome dragon with a screeching voice and five heads. Although Venger and the children both avoid Tiamat, the children make a deal with her in "The Dragon's Graveyard" to thwart Venger. She is named after the Tiamat of Babylonian mythology.

Why do you have to show me THE coolest stuff LGW? Money is tight! Already pledged $35... I guess I won't eat lunch for a week. If there was any doubt, now is official... I hate you LGW. I will have to buy the Mordlings Super Dungeon Explore too!

stupid barbarian and his unicorn. Man that unicorn was annoying.

If you think about it... everything was Bobby's fault. He was the one with the "brilliant idea". Listen to the first person who talks... evil Bobby, his fluffy underwear and pet Unicorn... all his fault!




In other news... the Mordlings LOVED the models!

@MORD Lol you couldn't resist could you.

so glad to see you on the KS comment page I almost fell off my seat when I saw you commenting on the page.

and you don't hate me do you [giving you that puss in boots stare]

Damnit LGW! You are a grown man and no matte... ahhh... OK, OK, OK!!! I don't hate you... much. The Mordlings got SUPER excited when I showed them the models. HA! I told them you found them and they started saying "ed-U-in" just like you say it... I tell you, they will never forget it! Heheheh...

Anyway, I was suggesting to the powers that be about making a "special package deal". The concept is to make an "elite" supporters group, for $50. Selecting this package could get you the 7 current models, 3 (or more) upcoming models at no cost (creators choice) and 'discount' in other items/models. For example, if he decides to sell a T-Shirt of his Chibi Anime Style characters for $20, then those who pledged for the special package could buy it for $10. Same thing could be applied to Tiamat... if he sells the model for $30, then the 'special supporters' could buy her for $15. Stuff like that.

Also, there is a survey for the $10k stretch goal... apparently "Shadow Demon" is ahead. Also there are suggestions to make "Pig Faced Orc", "Bullywog", "Bearowl", "Buggiebear" and "Goblin". No news on "Uni" nor "Tiamat"... or "Bugbeasts" or many other remarkable characters.

Not sure Tom will add in any other types of pledge levels he is dinately keen for keeping it simple

The more I keep on watching the T.V show the more range of characters, monsters, and baddies I want them to make.

LGW

sweet just got the $7.5k goal and now on to the $10.k "Warduke?"

I am liking the new add on of the Dungeon Tiles




not fussed on the pewter chests got plenty of resin chests... but the tiles are nice.

cheers

Demon Prince!!!! "Cute" dungeon tiles? Well, I don't get it... but there are sure LOTS of people going crazy for them! Pledges are rising like foam, which can only be good for everyone.
Apparently, the plan is to add OTHER stuff beyond the D&D Cartoons. Interesting!

I am hoping they will do some other cross overs with some thing else not sure what but something.

There is a hint that there could be something coming what that is anybodies guess.

Just happy to have found it.

My kids been watching the T.V series for most of the day. [dam wet weather during school holidays]

and they "Loved it" <--- direct quote from the mini-she-whom-must-be-obeyed-in-training.

Minis ONLY

most pledger's are going to use them in Super Dungeon Explore. I know I will be. Hoping some of those who are alot clever then I will make up some stats, cards and special rules.

time will tell.

LGW

Ah keey, thought so already 'cause the style really resembles SDE.
Are those tiles also compatible then?

I believe you could easily use the Impact dungeons to play SDE and it would be more of a dungeon feel and less arcadey

I have added the tiles to my pledge already @$85USD

LGW

Haha whoa, those pictures take me back. Horrible series, though.

I am now being subjected to the 2nd day running of watching all three series and its growing on me.

I still hate Bobby the Barbarian and the DM is annoying most of the time.

But with regards to the actual KS project BRING IT ON i am loving it.

I loved this series as a kid (and I'm now very tempted to buy it on DVD for my two boys), but I really dislike the chibi style mniatures. I watch with interest though.
