You have unlocked the Heaven & Hell tower! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!! Our #FatesEnd2 hashtag posts went through the roof the last few days! WOO HOO! YOU GUYS DID IT!
You’ve also unlocked another GM Screen: The Sci-fi City! (Or will be soon, but I’ll be out and about today so I thought I’d unlock it early.)
How will GM Screens work:
My plan (for now, I need to work on a prototype to work it all out before I can guarantee that this is my plan 100%) is to include two versions of the GM screens:
1) The first version would be a completely 3D printed version with shelving, and potentially hooks that attach to the shelves (they have to be support free, so I must prototype this first.) I may include a tongue/groove system so the shelves just slide through a groove through the width of the screen section (for easy printing)
2) The second version would contain the towers only with a channel running through the tall side of the pillars/towers where a screen can slide through between two towers using the grooves. I may come up with a groove system that works with the 3D printed screens as well as traditional screens, but I must prototype this first before I can guarantee that this will be the end solution.
There will be two dice towers on either end of the screen: one rolls the dice in, one rolls the dice out toward players. Some backers have said that they wanted one of the center towers to be the one that rolls the dice out, but I need to see how everything scales together. In that case, the center towers need to be tall enough to get enough momentum on the dice so it completes its roll, and thick enough to have a channel for the 20mm D20 to roll through. I’ll provide more details later in the campaign in an update when I have a solid plan in place for the GM screen. :-)

Facebook Groups:
A number of new backers have requested access to the FatesEnd Facebook groups. I’m so sorry, we can’t add new backers to the Facebook groups until this campaign funds (usually 2 weeks after the campaign ends, around April 15th.) We will be sending out Facebook links to backers then.
Merchants: Please don’t sell/list any FatesEnd2 items (from this campaign) until you receive your FatesEnd2 ID. I’ll be sending them out after this campaign funds (usually 2 weeks after the campaign ends, around April 15th.)
Small format resin printers: This is a bummer, but I won’t be cutting up all of the files to work on small format resin printers like the Photon or the Mars. Some makers will cut up 8” tall minis (or what I call maxis) however, minis are solid in the center, whereas dice towers have an internal channel for the dice to roll through. Depending on the designs, some walls won't be thick enough to support tongue/groove systems in 2.5"x4.5” chunks throughout the entire tower. I'm sorry, I won't be cutting these up to print at 100% for the Photon, Mars or other tiny resin printers. Their print areas are just toooooo small. :-(
Lastly - OH MY GOSH!!!! GUYS! #makersmuse featured the Mayan Temple in his video today!!!!! I WATCH HIS STUFF ALL THE TIME! Thank you Makers Muse! (Timestamp: 10:55) https://youtu.be/3YZyKPs81a0&t=10m55s
