Thank you all for all your support and ideas!
We will get to work on finishing the decal designs and share with you ASAP! We've had some great ideas from the comments and we can't wait to cram as many in as possible! Keep sharing the campaign so we hit £150k and we can add a FREE pack of decals with every book set!
We have had a lot of questions about our Hardback Book "Untold Encounters of the random kind" so this feels like a good time to have a closer look.
340 pages 1000+ encounters
This will be a book dedicated to random encounters. There will be 3 main chapters - Dungeon, Wilderness and Towns and each chapter will contain 300+ random encounters, several example locations mapped out and relevant random tables. The encounters will be from the "Dungeon Run", Tavern Crawl" and "Wilderness Trek" PDFs.
The purpose of this book is to be able to randomly generate combat and non-combat encounters for your adventure setting. The encounters are system agnostic.
Here are some example pages:
More about Maps
As ever we are really enjoying hearing all your ideas for maps. While we cannot add any additional pages (we launched this campaign with the full page count) we want to make sure the maps are right. We have added a stretch goal at £175k to replace the plain grids with a peril filled wilderness map.
We also want to make a slight amend.
We would like to swap the 2 pages of the ship at sea with a perilous path to a ruined hilltop watchtower. This will be of a style to use with the existing grassland, forest and moorland maps.
We will have a ship in the decals pack (and vtt tokens) and retain the 2 existing ocean pages to use with the various coast maps.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this! Matt will start designing these maps on this Mondays map drawing stream on Twitch (twitch.tv/lokebattlemats), starting at 22:00 GMT.

Another Stretch Goal Hit!
We will now add the rocky horror map pack to the Digital Wilderness, included with every pledge level!
These 3 biomes will cover a huge range of encounters, rock outcrop maps see a lot of use in our games and we hope these serve your campaigns well!
All three versions of this 36x36 map
Which brings me to our next stretch goal.
£150,000 unlocks A FREE DECAL PACK with each book set.
Our Wilderness Decal pack will be a durable and reusable set of static clings featuring a host of wilderness features to customise your maps! Trees, bushes, rocks, suspicious sinkholes and much much more!
We will include one whole pack (containing 5 sheets with a total of 90+ decals) with each books set (so the Double Wilderness, and Wilderness Master pledge levels get 2 packs of free decals). These decal packs have an rrp of £9.99 each, so together we can add a lot of value to the physical pledge levels here!

We've come so far already!
We are not even 24 hours in and already we have unlocked our £100,000 stretch goal!
The 'King of the Jungle' map will be added to the Digital Wilderness (which is included in EVERY pledge!).
This is a large (36x36) map of crumbling jungle ruins around a pool all overgrown by the jungle plants.
Our next stretch goal is The Rocky Horror Digital Map Pack - Unlocked at £125,000!
This map pack contains 3 biome variations of our map of the classic rocky outcrop. Perfect for ambushes or meeting the local wildlife, this digital map pack add 3 maps to the digital Wilderness!
We have been listening!
One of the best parts about Kickstarter is the chance to chat to all our backers and hear your feedback.
We want to include terrain maps in this set as we know these see a lot of use on the table. They're fully customisable with markers and our packs of static clings so you can create your own scenarios to use the maps over and over.
There is a Wilderness Decal Pack available as an add-on in the pledge manager, and if we hit our £150,000 stretch goal we'll add a pack in with every Wilderness Book set FREE.
We want to make this campaign great value and get these maps right for as many people as we possibly can!
So we're announcing a new stretch goal!
£175k - The plain grids at the start of each book are replaced with a peril filled Wilderness Map!
Keep commenting with what you'd like to see in these books! We're always happy to perfect our final maps with your ideas!
And let us know what you'd like for these new maps!
We've updated the graphics for the maps on the campaign page so you can get a better look at whats there at the moment -

It's been an incredible start to this Kickstarter, let's take a look at the Stretch Goals you've all just knocked down
Stretch Goal Unlocked!
The 'Heart of the Forest' will be included in the Digital Wilderness (which is included in EVERY pledge!).
This epic map is one of our favourite designs and we're delighted to include it for all our backers :)
Stretch Goal Unlocked!
The Incident at Ursula Island PDF – a 5e Adventure by Stephen Hart – is now included in The Digital Wilderness Package (which is included in every pledge level!). So now that’s two PDF 5e adventures designed for our maps.
Stretch Goal Unlocked!
A fully laid out and illustrated PDF of random tables for tabletop RPG.
Roll up street names, quest ideas, loot, NPCs and so much more in moments. Ideal for naming everything such as local flora and fauna for alchemy right through to the name of the nearest hamlet.

Welcome to The Wilderness! We are funded!!

Welcome to the Wilderness by Loke Battle Mats! We’re thrilled you’re on this adventure with us.
Thank you all for your support! We are thrilled to have reached our funding goal so The Wilderness is coming!!
Now lets talk about our first stretch goal!
Heart of the Forest – Digital Map unlocked at £40,000
This digital map will be added to the Digital Wilderness which is included with EVERY pledge level.
A large map area (36x36) covering mixed terrain, this map is screaming out for a boss encounter. Or at the very least a bit of a fight with whatever lives in that cave 😊
Sneak or fight through the forest as you approach the suspiciously calm opening in the trees. A level change allows ranged party members the upper ground if they dare to hang back as all eyes turn to the dark, suspicious cave entrance.
Is it a simple lair or the entrance to a complex underground system? And surely it is not unguarded…….
So whether you’re sneaking past a camp or enjoying the local wildlife, the heart of the forest will be the perfect backdrop to your digital adventure!
What to expect from us for this campaign
We will be online daily, and will aim to answer all your comments, questions and messages. We will use this to shape our FAQs to help our backers through the process.
We will not update more than once a day during the campaign, and you can expect updates with more detail on our stretch goals and the new products included in this campaign.
We will update AT LEAST twice a month (we aim for weekly) so you can follow the project through the design, manufacture and shipping stages.
Should you want to reach us privately you can use Kickstarter messages or DM us through our social media channels.
We hope you enjoy this adventure as much as we do!
