UPDATE - 48 hours left to back the Kickstarter! The project is fully funded and we are hoping to reach some stretch goals in the last couple of days. By pledging now you can get huge savings at launch, as well as free token packs from the founder artists (myself, Devin Night and Jan Loos). There are also now more than 15 artists involved in the project, so you will have plenty of tokens to choose from with the back exclusive vouchers.
Token Vault Kickstarter

Hi Everyone,  

I am very excited to announce a new Kickstarter project that I am involved with. The Token Vault is a browser based token manipulation tool that will allow you to choose a token from one of your favourite artists, and easily customise it by changing the colours, skin tone, weapons, armour, hairstyles and more so it perfectly suits your PC or NPC. Watch the video above to see some examples of the application in use.

The website and application development is being led by Dungeons and Doodles, and they currently have myself, Devin Night (Immortal Night Tokens) and Jan Loos (Online Tabletop Tokens) on board as artists. I am sure you are familiar with their work, but if not you can check them out here:
Devin Night's Website
Jan Loos on Patreon  

As the application is further developed, additional artists and token styles will be added in to the roster, future developments are planned for customisable map assets as well!  

The Kickstarter ends on October 8th, and the site will launch at the end of the year.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer.

Token Vault Promo

The token vault will be launching in late 2020 with our kickstarter launching September 8th at 19:00 UTC time - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thetokenvault/the-token-vault. We have created the ability to purchase and edit hand drawn digital miniatures to allow for more customisation for role playing games rather than just being stuck with the ones you purchase in a pack. It also works in your internet browser from any device! We have a huge range of artists involved for launch but many thanks to the below artists for their input and for providing their brilliant artwork for us to use: Jan Loos - http://www.online-tabletop.com/about-jan-loos/ Devin Night - https://immortalnights.com/tokensite/ Tom Cartos - https://www.patreon.com/tomcartos

Is this something that you will be contributing to on an ongoing basis?

Yes! The long term plan is for the Token Vault to become a large customisable token and asset marketplace with many contributing creators. I am talking to Dungeons and Doodles about possible discounts for patrons as well in the future.

This is like exactly what I've been looking for lol, so hard to get NPC tokens that are diverse instead of five people at the masquerade who look the same.

Interesting! So I assume a few “Starter Tokens” then an ongoing by-piece sale of contributing artists token? Pretty sweet. (Also in the video they show a Beholder which is Protected IP by Wizards of the Coast, so you may want to let them know…)

Thats quite clearly an IP distinct Observer! Luckily its only protected if we use the name B*holder.

This is terrific, I'm very glad to support it.

Ryan from the Token Vault

It’s been a pleasure working with you so far Tom! Thanks for all your input and tokens! Looking forward to working towards the launch!

Any details on the planned business model of this project? Two of artists mentioned are Patreon focused, which is perfectly fine, but the third is selling his artwork on a per-pack basis which doesn't fit this kind of app nor does it mix with Patreon business model well (or at all).

Hi Necxelos, It will be a marketplace. Myself, Devin and Jan are only the first 3 artists, but other artists will be able to contribute as before launch. We are discussing discount options for patrons, but it will not be a Patreon based model. It will be a per-token model rather than per-pack model primarily.

necxelos

This is very sad news indeed. Patreon created a very fairly priced business model, based on mutual respect between creatirs and their communities. Marketplace is the opposite of that :( I hope you guys (You and Jan Loos) will reconsider...

tomcartos
>>42692889

We are not in charge of the app, pricing or KS campaign in any way, we were just bought in as artists and are helping with promotion. The pricing will be very reasonable on the marketplace, but as it will have a growing collection of artists and contributors, patreon would not work as a platform for it.

necxelos
>>42692889

Definitions of reasonable vary, depending on the point of view. For example buying all of Devin's Tokens as they are now cost as much as a decent car (Central Europe) and no matter how great they are, they aren't worth that much. I doubt customizeable tokens will be cheaper so it's gonna be even more expensive. From my personal experience: people prefer to have access to everything and have this peace of mind that "whatever is needed I got it" instead of buying small pieces and being restricted by that. And we're talking just changing colors. Several artists (Forgotten Adventures for example) already provide editable source files of their art, all within Patreon ecosystem.

I understand this model won't work for everyone. The Kickstarter and app are for those that would prefer it. We will still be continuing to release tokens on our respective patreon pages.

Drunemeton

Hey Tom: For D&D 1 inch = 5 feet, and your maps reflect this, but your tokens (just like other creators) seem to be done at a different scale. When you create tokens do you have a fixed scale that you use? (With the awesomeness of FVTT I'm trying to find this out and scale down the tokens so that everything has a consistent look to "the scale of things".)

tomcartos
>>42840837

Hey Drunemeton, I generally try to keep my tokens to the same scale as the maps, I usually base it off the head being about 6" wide, but once I add the detail, clothing, linework etc the invariably end up a little larger than life.

Jeff Slocum

This is awesome news. Congratulations! This concept is very cool.

AyuVince

Amazing! This is just what I need to add more diversity to my games.
