Just in case anybody is interested, Christopher West (Maps of Mastery) has a new kickstarter:

Battlestations 3 kickstarter
Thanks!
thinking of pledging at the $50 or $270 level... $270 probably isn't in the budget right now and for that big an expense I should probably ask my (sexy peruvian) wife (can't do it now, 9:07 PM local time, because she's a night nurse)...
A huge turn off for the mega poster is the lack of corridors. It almost feels sloshed together.
Interesting though, I will ask my DM.

My sexy Peruvian wife is very understanding of my gaming hobby, she was a little hesitant about $270 dollars but agreed to it, so I just pledged $270 (so I'd get a printed copy of every maps of mastery map ever printed) the kickstarter is at $5657 now, if it gets to $8000 in the next 5 days (inclusive) then that will include the battle stations 4 map.
I’ve already pledged on the previous Kickstarter, and gotten all the maps that had been released up to that point.
So, I might pledge at a lower amount this time, to get just these maps and not the rest.
Hi all,
As of right now, there are 46 hours left to go on the kick starter and $6,364 has been pledged by 179 people. I myself have already pledged 270 dollars to get the one printed copy of everything.
Now I'm here to ask you all a favor, if the pledge total gets to $8000, battle stations 4 map will be printed, and Chris West has said in and email to backers
Hello again!
With just three days left to fund the remaining stretch goals for the Battle Stations project, I've made the decision to create some new bonus rewards and adjust the stretch goals to fit them in.
The biggest change is that I've decided to go ahead with the Deluxe Battle Stations poster map boxed set at my own expense IF the fourth Battle Stations poster is funded. We're almost to $6000 now, and we need to reach $8000 to make that happen. If all four posters do become available, I can't think of any reason not to go the extra distance to make that Deluxe Set content, so that extra material is on me.
After that, a new reward is unlocked at every $1000 increment:
At $9,000, every backer will get four free 5x8-inch terrain cards, to be revealed when we hit that goal. If you've got a PDF reward, you'll get the free maps as downloadable PDF images. If you've got a print reward, you'll get a printed set of those cards.
At $10,000, Deck Space III will be printed. That's the Windswept Dunes and Ancient Stone gridded texture maps.
At $11,000, every backer will get eight free terrain cards instead of four!
At $12,000, your Battle Stations posters will include their own additional terrain cards, too...map tiles that change or add to the posters in different ways.
And at $13,000, if we make it that far, you'll get TWELVE free terrain cards instead of eight, in the form of a whole new product with bonus material inside the front and back covers, as well.
We still have a long way to go to hit some of those milestones, and not much time left to do it, but I hope that these bonus rewards are a welcome addition to the plan, and that you'll help spread the word of this project to as many friends and fellow gamers as possible.
Thank you again for all of your support!
Chris
now I'd really like that battle stations 4 map and the extra terrain cards that come in a deluxe set (I've got the distant outposts and mass transit deluxe sets and I really like the special terrain cards that came with it) so here's what I've got to say, if all 179, heck if 164 of us, of us pledged just $10 more then we'd be able to get the extra map and terrain cards. now I know that not all 179 people are going to pledge another $10, but I'm thinking we can still do it if we all give a little... in fact I'm about to go pledge another $20. so that means only 162 more people need to pledge 10 dollars more each.
I'd particularly like to appeal to the 16 backers who've pledged $15 to get one printed double sided battlestations map, please kick up you pledges to 27 dollars (a 12 dollar increase) so that you'll get both maps. those 49 of you who have already pledged 27 dollars and the 31 of you have pledged $48, I ask that you pledge another $10 to help those terrain cards get printed because you'll be getting them. that would be 16*12+80*10=$992. which along with my increase of $20 would raise the total to
$6,364+$992 + $20=$7376 which I think is close enough to the 8000 to motivate the rest of us to up our bids to make it to the $8000. Come on people lets pull together
It sounds like I need to have a conversation with the wife for the "1 of everything" pledge.

He he's been offering up the omnibus at every kickstarter lately, so you can likely get in on this the next time he does a campaign. Although getting all the extra goodies from a well-funded kickstarter isn't something I'd turn down....
The one of everything is one PRINTED copy of everything plus the omnibus
I’m now a backer.
