Gamezone’s Fantasy dungeon-crawler board-game, riding on the old Heroquest brand-name, unlocked several hundred thousand dollars on Kickstarter before being shut down.

Proxy Army – 3D Printed Miniatures for Everyone
Starting a gaming company is expensive. Molds for miniatures cost thousands of dollars, making it hard for indie gaming companies to make their own minis.

3 Miniature Kickstarters Worthy of Support
It has been a while since I wrote a post of this kind.
