The project is creating a set of twenty two (22), double-sided A5 cards showing beautifully illustrated and evocative elevations and floorplan layouts for buildings/structures. The map cards can be used as player handouts or tools for game planning by Game Masters.
Useful for any fantasy-themed game, but really useful for your The Midderlands games in The City of Great Lunden.
New art/maps stretch goals...
And something to keep them in...
We hope to see you there!
Many thanks,

2019 ENnie Awards
The Midderlands Expanded just got a nomination for a 2019 ENnie Award for Best Cartography! I'm blown away. The competition is stiff this year, with many indie publishers in the running for awards. It's great to see so many small publishers making a real contribution to the hobby and being rewarded for their hard work.
When the time comes, we would LOVE to have your vote, as it makes a real difference to us small publishers. Check out the rest of the nominations here:
Today is clearly an excellent day, as this lot turned up too :) I'm so happy with how all this has turned out, and I am sure you will be too.
Stuff!
Stuff 2!
Onwards to victory, everyone! Locking shipping addresses now :).

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well, and life is good!
Outstanding Surveys and Locking Physical Shipping Addresses
The time is near...
If you have an outstanding survey, then now is the time to get it filled in and completed. There are 23 outstanding surveys as of this update, and 2 failed cards.
I will lock addresses with a 48 hour notice shortly for those of you that have completed the survey. If you have completed your survey, but you think your address is incorrect for the next 2-3 weeks, then please make any changes necessary in the next 48 hours.
The City of Great Lunden books/maps/pregen cards
The printer has informed me that the offset printing delivery is due tomorrow. Once that's arrived, I'm going to take a week or so to get everything ready to embark on the monumental task of packaging and shipping. I have made all necessary sacrifices to the sewer-dwelling Fulfillment Gods.
The printer has said that the job looks fantastic, and they are looking to enter it into the Irish Print Awards later this year! I'm itching to hold them in my hands.
Adventures in Great Lunden
The DriveThru print-on-demand print proof arrived today and it's great! These are good to go out once the books start shipping (all backers get a digital PDF, and Guild Masters get the at-cost print coupon, which should be just over £6-ish (plus shipping)).
So, with all luck, I should be starting to ship things out from 15th July-ish. That's 3 months ahead of schedule :).
Keep an eye out for my next Kickstarter project too, a quick and easy one, HandyMaps - Town & Village A5 Card Handouts for RPGs. Launching very soon. Follow me on Kickstarter to make sure you don't miss the launch.
We are creating a set of ten, double-sided A5 map cards to be used as player handouts for quick village and town layouts for Game Masters.
The cards will be double-sided in a handy A5 size (210mm high x 148mm wide OR 8.27" high x 5.83" wide) from 400gsm card silk finish stock. Each side will show an inked village or town on a parchment background. They will all have a basic grid, but NO name, scale, compass, legends, or labels allowing Game Masters to use them as they need for their campaigns.
In summary, the card set will contain 10 cards with maps to front and rear - that's 20 towns/villages.
Many of the maps used for the cards are already found in our previous products, especially The Midderlands and The Midderlands Expanded, so this card set is therefore a great resource for your Midderlands setting games... and is The Midderlands Compatible.
