KICKSTARTER: Wyldwood - Tabletop Titans

 


Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,

We have been watching Tabletop Titans for a while now since we heard about Wyldwood from UKGE 2026 and wanted to help support their fundraising on Kickstarter for a number of reasons.  Firstly they have been keeping everyone fully updated about what they've been up to before the campaign launches (which it just has within the last 10 minutes) and secondly, the way that they've planned it.

"We began factory prototyping more than 8 months ago, and since then we've completed multiple rounds of prototypes and revisions with our manufacturing partner. Every miniature has been prototyped, every printed component has been proofed, and we've spent months finding and fixing problems before asking you to back the project."

In addition to this, it isn't their first time fundraising for a project, they've already done it two times before.  

Here is their schedule for once the kickstarter ends:

"October 15 — Kickstarter ends

We'll use the following two weeks to finalize quantities, complete the Kickstarter payment process and place our final production order.

First week of November — Manufacturing begins

Miniature production is expected to take approximately six months. Cards, boxes, tokens and other printed components will be manufactured simultaneously and are expected to require less time.

Approximately May 2027 — Manufacturing complete

Once production and final QC are complete, products will be loaded for ocean freight to our regional fulfillment warehouses.

Approximately 60 days — Ocean freight

We're budgeting approximately 60 days for freight, customs and delivery from China to our regional warehouses in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia.

Approximately 2 weeks — Final fulfillment

Once inventory reaches the regional warehouses, we expect the majority of individual backer shipments to leave the warehouses within approximately two weeks.

That schedule also contains some contingency because international manufacturing and freight can always encounter unexpected delays.

That is a total of 8 months time taking us to completion around June. To give us a bit of extra time for something to go wrong we are going to quote delivery in August 2027 for all products to all backers. The extra 60 days allows for something unforeseen to happen and us still to deliver on schedule. 


One Exception: The Wyldwood Source Book

There is one component that isn't completely finished, our premium hardcover Wyldwood Source Book.

The book itself is well underway, but we're still completing several stories and pieces of artwork. We want the book to include dozens great stories a huge number of original artworks and that project needs more time. We expect to finish the design of the sourcebook by December 2026 and put it into printing at that time. Given the book is easy to print (compared to miniatures) we may still be able to ship it along with everything else, but we are highlighting that it could take 1-2 months extra to ship. Adding a source book to your order will not delay the shipping of your other items. 

We Want to Set the Standard for How Smooth A Kickstarter Project Can Be

We took the time and the financial risk to build and prototype Wyldwood so that our customers did not have to take risk. We’ve heard a lot recently from many people about horror stories of projects they’ve backed that have gone wrong. We plan for Wyldwood will be the one example everyone else strives to be like. 

(All above information is from Brian on their Kickstarter Page)


So now we've got the nitty gritty on what impressed us out of the way lets get down to what it is they're fundraising for:

Stone age fantasy with display scale miniatures, fast and competitive skirmish games with cards decks.

The forest is awakening with the scattered tribes of thinking creatures who cling to caves, river valleys, and shady glens as they learn what it means to endure.  They hunt with chipped bone and fire hardened spears, follow the great herds through the forest passes, and vanish into shadow when larger predators stalk too close.  Around small flames they trade stories, inventing gods for thunder, spirits for the rising sun and constellations for the great legends of their people.  Life here is brutal and brief, and what little culture has begun to take root is shaped by necessity, ritual, and the simple, relentless question of how to see another dawn.



Fast, Balanced and Competitive

Wyldwood is built for fast, tactical, competitive play. Command a warband of 5 Champions and a customized 30-card deck as you battle to be the first to score 10 points across 6 action-packed turns. Easy to get to the table, with the depth to keep every battle challenging.



60mm Display Models

Wyldwood features incredible 60mm display-scale miniatures, making every Champion a centerpiece worthy of your collection. The larger scale creates a unique building and painting experience, while each faction is crowned by a massive Leader model that brings an epic presence to the battlefield.


Build Your Deck, Play Your Way

Every faction has its own collection of beautifully illustrated Command Cards, designed around its unique characters, abilities, and playstyle. Build and customize your 30-card deck to change your strategy, discover new combinations, and make your warband truly your own.


So if like us you're excited for this, you can support the kickstarter here.


All the best,


ThunderMouser

Gravelord Spotlight: Blautaric
A Kingdom Devoured

Blautaric was once Lord Borin Vorrinius, one of the ruling nobles of Somermist during the twilight of the Third Age. When the Granum River withered and famine spread through the realm, Borin did not suffer with his people. His granaries remained full, his vaults grew heavier, and every starving household became another chance to tighten his grip.

His greed eventually found a teacher in Maelithar, a dark sorceress who offered him immortality and dominion through necromancy and flesh-weaving. Borin accepted, and the bargain was paid for in the blood of the people he had already bled dry. What came out of that ritual was no longer a lord, but Blautaric: a rotting titan of hunger, wealth, and undeath.

He did not stop with survival. Blautaric turned his own kingdom into a feast. The dead rose under his command, the noble houses of Somermist fell, and even High King Eadred Eldengard could not stop him. Eadred’s defeat became one of Blautaric’s cruelest trophies, his ruined body reshaped into part of the monstrous Necrosteed the Warlord would one day ride into battle.

Blautaric is greed given a corpse’s body. He consumes life, land, loyalty, and history itself, turning everything he takes into another piece of his dead empire.






Choose Your Faction

The endless forest of the Wyldwood is filled with untold creatures, prehistoric monsters and budding tribes. We have picked five factions to introduce for the launch of the game on September 15th, but there are many more to come in the future.

Each faction has its own champions, unique Command cards, and a completely different approach to battle. Whether you want to strike from the shadows, charge headlong into combat, control the battlefield, or simply refuse to die, there’s a faction for you.

Let us know in the comments which you will choose?

Leafsong Nomads

Speed, ranged attacks, healing and wisp control

The elves of the Leafsong live as nomads, moving with the great herds of the Wyldwood. They are unmatched in speed and ranged combat, striking from afar before disappearing back into the forest.

Urscar Kindred

Melee strength, defence and denial 

The primitive dwarves of the Urscar measure themselves against the greatest beasts of the Wyldwood. Powerful and aggressive, they excel in close combat and are willing to sacrifice anything for glory and an eternal life through story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0mW5C47bhc

Emberhold Ascended

Fire, spike damage and wisp destruction 

The humans of Emberhold have done something no other people have dared: they have begun to tame the Wyldwood. Armed with fire, strange inventions, and relentless ambition, they are building the world's first city.

Witherwood Legions

Poison, unrelenting melee and power from death

Once living creatures of the forest, the Witherwood are twisted remnants of forest and flesh. They may be slow, but once they have you trapped, escape becomes almost impossible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkEM4EpXDVQ


Nightwood Covenant

Magic trickery, AoE damage and endurance

The orcs of the Nightwood live in deep harmony with the forest, carrying the memories of generations that came before them. They call upon ancient wisdom and the spirits of the Wyldwood to endure whatever their enemies throw at them

Which Faction Are You?

Five factions. Five very different ways to play, which one are you choosing?

And if you want to go deeper, you can meet all of the champions and learn more about each faction on the live stream we did here.
