Fog Monster Mini Fog Machine For Tabletop Games & Special FX

November Update - Freebie Upgrades - Delivery Date
over 6 years ago – Sun, Nov 12, 2017 at 12:21:48 AM

Greetings to all! Time for another update and progress report.

We have been working hard with manufacturing to create the best product possible and took a look as the wear and tear on some of the components while the molds are being made. We decided to upgrade the water pump for a couple reasons.  First the noise level and second the durability.

We know many of you wrote in asking about the noise level (which is definitely a factor when you are sitting for hours at a time with your game). We felt the previous pump was sufficient however, we discovered after about a years use the inner components on the pump were showing signs of rust and subsequent failure so we sourced a couple new pumps and tested all 3 and accepted the last. Good news is it is nearly silent and much better quality! It also cost about 3 times what we were paying for the first model but we are absorbing the cost as a freebie to our backers.

 We also upgraded the power supply by creating our own proprietary design to allow a 3 way plugin to accommodate the transducer, pump, and fan plugs. We wanted to give you an all in one source rather than a separate power supply for the fan kits. This cuts down on wire clutter and keeps everything neat and compact.

This upgrade required a new mold and we are absorbing the cost on that as well. These changes have added some additional time to production but we feel it is in everyone's best interest. We will not hit the mark of Dec 2017 for delivery, it will be moved to late January 2018. We have discussed this with our Manufacturer as February is a major holiday in, China and have received their assurance that all orders will be shipped prior to the holiday.

We expect to have the shipping costs compiled per your individual order within the next month and as soon as we do we will post an update and send you a direct email message on how to pay.

Onward and upward, we are very excited to be able to deliver what we believe will be a world class product to you soon.

All the best,

RGFX

Monthly Update - Vote on what new add-ons you would like to see in our store!

Greetings Fog Monster Lovers!

Some of you asked about some of the ideas we had to add more items to the  Backerkit Store. But rather than just put something out there we would like you to get involved.

We still have a small window to accept a couple more, (or even one) ideas for a resin component that you might like to have for your Fog Monster game terrain.  Did we miss something you would like to have?

For example as you know we created the Storm Drain and the Saber-tooth add-on for the fog pipe. Would you like to see more of these?

Would you like to see more natural items like a cave attachment you could plug the large pipe into?

Would you like to see natural formations like volcanic rock formations below that you could plug 1/2 flexible tube into?

Or a fog breathing creature that would plug your 1/2 inch flex tube into?

One new idea we were thinking about for all of you that bought the Pressure Fan  is a 12"x12"x 3/8" thick resin piece  with some steaming craters? It would work like a box with a lid. You could either set the lid on top of your terrain (and create the box on your own), or we could design a resin box with a hole for the Large pipe to fit in and put a lid on it so when you force the fog in, it will escape through the top. Like below.

We could do the same 12x12 more like a lava field. BTW How do you like these awesome live shots from Benjamin Von Wong in Hawaii? Yup those are irl!

 Or maybe smoking sewer vents for your streets?

 To be clear it would need to be a "Killer app" so to speak to get into the sales numbers that would make it worth while for our mfg. produce so we will go off your comments. Let us know what you think!

All in all a very smooth Kickstarter to Backerkit experience. So far the project has raised over $100,000 thanks to all of you! :)

We will keep you posted on new developments as production begins.

Congratulations And Grace Period For Late Backers - Limited Additional Inventory
over 6 years ago – Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 01:28:09 PM

Congrats to those who got their Backerkit orders in on time, you are on the priority list. We are now compiling the data and turning in the numbers to our suppliers.

Top 3 Add Ons you picked:

• #1 Add-On - Light Pods
• #2 Add-On - Flexible Tubing Kit w/ Pressure Fan
• #3 Add-On - Large Ground Level Pack

Grace period. We realize there were some who had circumstances that did not allow them to make the Backerkit deadline so we are leaving the Survey open while we compile the data to give you additional time to login and finish. Currently there are still 57 backers with rewards that need to finish.

Please keep in mind however that additional inventory for Add Ons will be limited and we will need to make a "best guess" on how many we want to purchase and keep in stock so please do not delay for too long or you may miss out.

This also is good news for backers that may want to tweak their orders as we will not lock the survey down until we think it is the best time for all. In the meantime production will begin as planned.

Thank you again for all your support!
