It’s been a while since we’re done one of these kickstarter promotions, and that’s not by accident. Every time we promote a Kickstarter, it’s a project that one of us inevitably throws money towards… putting our money where our mouth is, so to speak. Because of this, and because of my love of miniatures games, I’ve found it prudent to stay away from the Kickstarter website, for the sake of my wallet.
That streak of frugality ends now though, and I can blame the people at Wyrmwood for this turn of events. It’s not a game that we’re promoting here, as that’s not what Wyrmwood does. Instead, they make items to augment, to enhance the experience of sitting down with your friends to play a game. It’s well crafted, well made product, made to help you feel unique in your purchase.
With that being said, let’s take a look at their newest project, the Hero Vault: a project design that for right now, only looks to be available through this kickstarter. A project created with lots of customization options, the Hero Vault is being made with the promise of being shipped and ready for Holiday gifting, so get your wallets ready!
Wyrmwood products are one of those things that you find at conventions, and just cry a little. I say that with the utmost respect, as it’s a testament to how great their stuff looks, both online and right in front of you. Dice towers, vaults, trays, all the things you want for your weekly Dungeons and Dragons set up, but never know exactly where to find or get just the right one.
This is an example of adding class to your nerdy adventures.Or just more nerdiness to your nerd adventures.
The Hero Vault is a little different than what is already available online, and is better for it. The vault is a small box, only a little more than 3 inches on every side, but sealed with strong rare earth magnets, which Wyrmwood has used before in their projects. It seems tiny, but it's on purpose, as the vault is meant to be a personal, durable carrying case for heading out to play tabletop RPGs. It's just large enough to hold the full set of dice that are required to play Dungeons and Dragons, or a set of D6s that you could use with Shadowrun.
This is one of my personal favorites - affordable, but still fancy
As can be seen in some of the examples here, the vaults are also designed to safely carry your personal miniature avatar to and from games. Above, you have one of the middle range wood choices...one out of seventy-five choices. Below, well, you have an example of why these guys are known for quality.
I feel like this is a great thing to bring to games that involving Lovecraftian horrors, don't you?
The reason this kickstarter appeals to me is simply because it's made to be something you can personalize . As said before, there are a lot of woods to choose from, but a normally very expensive engraving process has been reduced to only ten dollars per vault. This combined with the promise of having these in time for holiday gifting - a promise that is still available - makes this something I'm incredibly interested in. You can easily design one for a friend, or perhaps just for your friend's favorite character, a way to remember good times past.
This project has a vault for everyone.
As I’ve said before, we don't write about a kickstarter here unless it's something we plan on putting money down on ourselves, and as someone that already owns one of their deck boxes, I can safely say their quality truly is top notch. Whether or not you're going for the simple, sturdy woods that cost less than $30, or reaching for something exotic at over $100, there's something here for everyone.
So what are you waiting for? Go check it out, and find the one that's just right for you. As of me writing this, there’s a little bit less than 36 hours available to lock in an order, so don't let this great gift idea pass you by!
