Happy New Year, everyone. I hope that 2022 will be a much better year for everyone than the last few.

One very happy piece of news is that we are less than a month away from the start of fulfillment for the first edition of THE ART OF… !!! That’s right, all of the books are printed and are being shipped to their various hubs etc. We’re expecting the fulfillment for the UK, Europe, and everywhere except the US to begin in the week of February 7th, and the US fulfillment to begin the week after. I am so very excited!

Here are a number of photos of the books and slipcase samples I received a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to hold off showing them until I knew when we’d be packing and shipping all of the boxes, and I know you’ll love to see them now.

Everything looks great, and I think you’re all going to be very happy reading through these books and getting a deeper understanding of what drives these wonderful artists!

We’re aiming for the start of April for a retail release. In the US, distribution to retailers will be through Alliance Game Distributors and Bridge Distribution, and for the rest of the world it will be through Warlord Games. For online sales you’ll be able to get copies through Ironheart Artisans in the US, and Warlord Games for the rest of the world. Hi-res PDFs will be available through Ironheart Artisans.

Now, on to more Dave Taylor Miniatures projects for 2022.

I’ve almost nailed down the artists for the next edition of THE ART OF… and I’m hoping to be able to announce their names in the next update. The timeframe for the Kickstarter will be similar to last year, with the campaign kicking off in early May and running for three weeks.

BUT before that, I have another publishing project that I’m working on with my friend Jeff Hall. I mentioned it last year, but we are now ready to reveal the launch date of the campaign!

The Tremendous Tome of Decorating Dungeons will be hitting Kickstarter on February 10th this year (just three weeks away!) In the next update I’ll have a link to the “notification page” and we would really appreciate it if you’d be able to share all the info with your roleplaying friends and family. This will be my first time creating a product for the roleplaying market, but Jeff is a veteran DM who has also penned a lot of material for various roleplaying companies. The book will be focused on ways to make the most of your commercially available 3D dungeon terrain and has been a lot of fun to work on!

So, as you can see, things are all go here in the Dave Taylor Miniatures bunker, and we hope that 2022 is “all go” for you too, whatever that may be.

 

Cheers

Dave
