Our new Digital Maps Campaign is coming!
Immense Dungeons - Digital Maps for Discerning Game Masters is the new campaign from Loke Battle Mats going live in June!
This is the fantasy map twin of our last Digital campaign Beyond the Blue Nebula with a focus on dungeon, sewer and cave maps.
It will offer hundreds of ready to roll immense dungeon maps, tiles to create your own layouts and tokens to furnish the maps with.
From fiery pits, horror filled depths and slimy sewers through to caves and some more civilized stone pathed mazes, this kickstarter will deliver a huge number of maps & digital assets for an unbelievable price.
So you will have ready to roll maps at your fingertips, and the tools to create your own from scratch, or customize ours to suit your campaign.
We go live in June and the Kickstarter will fulfil through DriveThruRPG in August.
You can follow along here to be notified when we launch!
Thank you for your support, and for reading this update, we hope to see you on this new adventure!

How to complete the pledge manager
over 2 years ago
– Thu, Dec 23, 2021 at 02:57:03 AM
Surveys will be emailed out very soon.
You will need to complete your survey to receive the links to your rewards.
The survey will be emailed out from Backerkit. If you miss the email (it can end up in the lesser used email folders spam/clutter/junk/promotions etc) you can recover it by going to blue-nebula.backerkit.com and entering the email address associated with your Kickstarter account.
What to expect - The survey knows how much you pledged in Kickstarter and what pledge level you backed. This information is pulled through into this survey already.
You are able to change your pledge level and add on some extras if you would like to.
If your card failed to charge in Kickstarter you will still be imported into the survey, but without a credit so you can pay for your pledge here instead.
How to complete your survey -
The first screen will thank you for your support and show your pledge and pledge level, country, as well as have a big green GET STARTED button.
If you would like to switch your pledge level you click the small link under the Get Started button.
If everything looks good hit the green button to get started!
The second screen is Add-Ons. You will see the optional purchases available to you. Either add to your basket (you will see your balance due, and shipping & VAT if applicable to you and the add-on you select, update on the right on the screen) or skip straight to the Next screen.
The Third Screen is where we confirm your address. We need everyone's address (even if you only have digital add-ons and we are not shipping anything to you) for our Tax records. Once you confirm your address you will hit Next to move to
The Fourth Screen is your order confirmation. You will see a summary of all your items and this is where you will pay for any VAT and add-on purchases.
If you do not select any add-ons or have and VAT due (VAT only applies to UK & EU backers) then you can go straight to place your order.
If any balance is due you enter your card details here.
The Final Screen
This is where you get your digital download codes! Make sure you grab your codes before you close your survey
(you can get back here from the Backerkit email or by recovering your survey via the link at the top of this update).
These codes, when clicked, will add the files automatically to your DriveThruRPG Library. When they are there you can download the files at your leisure. They don't expire.
You will be prompted to set up a DriveThruRPG account if you don't already have one. It is completely free.
(If you see the error code "exceeded maximum uses" this means the files are already in your library.
There's a lot of content coming your way, and we can highly recommend using the DriveThruRPG Library Client App to help manage all of those downloads. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/library_client.php
Good News!
Already on pre-orders we have hit the final stretch goal so those files will be added to your rewards!
We're currently smoke testing the surveys and we'll hit go once we have everything checked and ready to roll.
Outstanding Maps
Almost everything is complete, there are just a couple of the stretch Goal rewards that are still to be finished, we'll update as those are added to the titles on DriveThruRPG (it's mostly variations so no new codes will be needed).
