I stumbled across this Kickstarter by Wanderer's Emporium today, offering sets of 35 character and 34 monster minis, printed on thick cardstock complete with plastic standee bases to slot them into. The style is slightly cartoony, somewhat reminiscent of our own Okumarts creations to my eye. There is an option to go for just a PDF version of both sets of minis too, although I don't think it's possible to add this option to the physical minis pledge at present. I'm going to ask about this, however, since it seems such an obvious add-on option. They'd already produced a smaller set of minis and features in July this year, which I'd missed, and which only seems to be available physically via Amazon, again oddly not as an add-on in the campaign. You can see the set on the KS page though, and by clicking the company's name in the information pane at the top of the sidebar pledges list, you can find their website and get through to the Amazon page from there, should you wish. Equally oddly, the campaign's been running since Dec 1, and ends only on Jan 30 next year, and yet this is the first week it's even featured in my "projects recommended for you" listing on KS! Mind you, I do wonder how useful the algorithms are that compile said list, as this isn't the first campaign of potential interest I've either nearly, or completely missed.

You can buy the first set on their website: wanderersemporium.com/collections/all at the bottom of the page. It's on sale now (2023-12-30) for $2.99 (normal price $5.99). Gretings, Zephalo

Interesting. I think their art is cool (read: better than mine). I don't like the white border though. It IS nice to see back art. I've often wondered about printing on cardboard for more permanent standees but shipping is hella expensive these days.

Just to clarify, this is only the PDF of that first set which is available this way. The physical set was only available via Amazon. "Was"? Yes, as, following a conversation with the KS creators, I have big news today! They have now made the first physical set available as an add-on during the campaign - for $10 and NO additional shipping cost! AND they are now going to provide FREE PDFs for both the new sets and the original one if you backed for the physical products, and if you opted for the PDF-only pledge level, you will ALSO get the original set's PDFs at no extra charge! Plus for non-US backers, VAT has already been allowed for as included in the shipping costs (this means Delivery Duties Paid, DDP), so you should incur no additional charges for delivery once the package reaches your home country. Happy New Year indeed!
