Into the Wilds Battlemap Books Tier Previews - Coming to Kickstarter in less than one week!

Hey everyone!

Into the Wilds Battlemap Books by Tom Cartos (that's me!) is coming to Kickstarter in LESS THAN ONE WEEK!!! 

We will be launching on Tuesday October 4th at 8am EST (that's 5am PT/12pm GMT/ 2pm CET) so set your calendars and alarms. If you want to make sure not to miss it, you can sign up for the pre-launch page and get a notification as soon as we go live.

Rather than wait until launch to let you see what we have on offer and how much it will cost, I am giving you a special preview of all of the tiers you will be able to pledge at so you can plan accordingly for launch day. Please note these prices don't include shipping, but shipping estimates will be provided. Check out the information below!

If everything goes well we have loads of really cool stretch goals to share, so the first 24-48 hours are critical to get that momentum going and reaching those goals. If you are planning to back the Kickstarter I recommend doing so as early as possible so we can hit our funding goal and push on straight away. 

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, or come to the Discord server and ask in our new #itw-kickstarter channel

Into the Wilds is a collection of 6 fully customisable, biome and region themed battlemap books for your favourite TTRPG. They are ideal for pre-set or random encounters out in the wilderness, so you can be fully prepared no matter which direction your players choose to head in.

Most of the battlemaps come in two variations, a fully-furnished highly-detailed version with props and assets already placed for an extra level of immersion and story telling, and a second unfurnished version for you to customise however you need with the included re-usable asset stickers or that trusty dry-erase marker.

Every book has a minimum of 30 double page dry-erase battlemap spreads (22x17inch) and 3 full ‘static cling’ reusable asset sticker sheets, with more of both to be added if we reach our stretch goals. A combined total of over 180 hand drawn battlemaps and 500 asset stickers. All of the maps and assets are also available as digital downloads.

The books are spiral bound so you won’t have to keep track of loose sheets flying everywhere, and the maps lay perfectly flat on your gaming table. The spirals are kept as small as possible, so they won’t get in the way of placing minis or props.

There are 6 books in the Into the Wilds series, each themed around a particular biome or region commonly found in many TTRPG settings. The books are:

• Forests & Villages
• Deserts & Jungles
• Mountains & Oceans
• Caves & Caverns
• Dungeons & Crypts
• Swamps & Ruins

If you are backing the Three or Six Book Deluxe Box Sets, these are split into 2 volumes:

• Volume 1 - Forests & Villages, Deserts & Jungles, Mountains & Oceans
• Volume 2 - Caves & Caverns, Dungeons & Crypts, Swamps & Ruins
