Monster Miniature Survey
Progress on the project has been going well and we're excited to enlist your help in deciding the two unlocked 50mm monster miniatures that will appear in the box set and STLs! Fill out this form within the next week to place your votes: https://forms.gle/HB5ktA4ec83WKX3w6
Make sure to read the form for a description of the monsters and how we picked the options. All of these and many more monsters will also be included in the book to play with.
Merch for Holiday Gifts
We know lots of people want some of the upcoming merch in time for Christmas gifts, so we're releasing Wave 1 of our available Wild Imaginary West merch! More designs will be coming next year after our artists designs are completed. These products are made to order so there will be a slightly slow shipping time. If you want this in time for the holidays, please order before December 10th. Wave 1 includes the cover art and logo graphics on shirt, hoodie, hat, and mugs. The mugs can make a perfect gift for a miniature painter to hold their paint water or brushes! Of course, they're good for drinking out of too. Just don't drink paint water.
Note: Due to costs, merch currently only ships to the U.S. and Canada. We hope to expand our delivering options for merch soon!
BackerKit Surveys Coming Soon
Thanks for your patience on this one as we've been sorting out some details to make sure we're providing the best customer experience. Surveys to enter shipping details and adjust your pledges will be sent out in the next couple weeks. Feel free to message us in the meantime with any questions.
We're excited to hear back on your picks for the monster miniatures! Use the link above to vote now.

Howdy, partners! It's been a few weeks since the campaign ended and we want to give you an update on a few of the things we're currently working on.
What Monsters Minis Do You Want?
As part of our unlocked stretch goals, we'll be adding two more 50mm monster miniatures! What are some of the monsters you would like to have miniatures for? Comment below and we'll add some of the mentions to our upcoming survey.
Here's a reminder of the monster miniatures you're getting so far:
Prairie Wolf (28mm)
Road Runner (28mm)
Opossum (50mm)
Badlands Sasquatch (50mm)
Plains Shepherd (70mm)
We'll send out a survey within the next few weeks with the monster options that Boylei Hobby Time and Rune Foundry think would be ideal for this size of miniature. Stay tuned!
Prospector Artwork + 1st Wave of Merch Coming Soon!
Our artists are hard at work on creating the other stretch goals you've unlocked, including a new character to represent the Prospector Trade. And for those of you excited to get your hands on some Wild Imaginary West shirts and hoodies for Christmas gifts, we're aiming to have those ready for purchase soon so that they can be delivered to you before Christmas day.
Where's the Backer Survey?
Our original plan was to wait to gather addresses until we are ready to also gather shipping payments. Shipping costs won't be finalized until we are closer to our manufacturing and shipping dates. That means we will gather shipping addresses and payments likely in the spring. Please let us know if you prefer otherwise.
Comment below with what monster minis you want to see in the survey and any other thoughts/questions!

This has been an absolutely wild ride for us! We worked so hard together to create something that we felt fit the Wild Imaginary West and felt innovative for roleplaying games. With the Kickstarter campaign finished, we are beyond grateful for the support so that we can finish what we've started and bring this world to your tables!
"It’s been so humbling to watch the love and support for the WIW grow these past three years. This Kickstarter has been an incredible confirmation of your support. I cannot thank you enough for helping make this idea a reality." - Boylei Hobby Time
"I cried the first day when we funded in 20 minutes. Tough cowboy tears, of course. It's so gratifying to work so hard on something and then so quickly see how many people care as much as we do. Thank you all so much!" - Quinn
"This community has made the last 30 days an incredibly emotional and exciting time for us. We are beyond grateful for the love, support, and feedback we've received so far, and we are so happy to embark on this journey out West with you all. A massive thank you to Boylei, our wives & families, and to each one of you." - Adam
“It’s crazy to think that this imaginary world and wild RPG will now become a reality all thanks to you. Yes, you! The others can attest that I was speechless at the immense support of this community that first day the Kickstarter launched, and I’m still in awe as we wrap up the campaign at over $300k. Y’all are truly the best in the west! Thank you!” - Andrew
Stay tuned for updates. We'll keep you involved as we continue developing the project to prepare it for manufacture, including soon voting on the new monsters from one of the stretch goals!
Because of all of you, Rune Foundry and Boylei Hobby Time raised $314k to create the Wild Imaginary West RPG. And then we called it good.

We (and our Discord) were watching with eager anticipation as the funds raised reached $300k! Thanks to all of you, we've raised enough funds to develop the East Portal Setting Guide which will feature additional lore, NPCs, Factions, and more to help you kick off your own expeditions. Read more about this stretch goal in Update #9.
On top of funding this exciting game, here are all the stretch goals we unlocked along the way:
Here's a video of Boylei Hobby Time's build of East Portal (and serendipitously, the announcement of this RPG):
Less than 11 hours left now for anyone else seeking to get these Kickstarter savings and join us in the Wild Imaginary West.
