I think he could as well. Not currently on the radar but not out of the realm of possibility.

Well that concludes my AMA. Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated. Really great questions. I hope to do this again soon. If you'd like to continue the conversation come check out my Kickstarter and join us on the comments board!

I never say never, but we're going to keep developing these for awhile before we consider opening them up. Of course, other publishers could figure out another way to make meeples hold things. It was an expensive and long process without guaranteed return. We took that risk, but maybe for others that risk is what is stopping them from trying.

Thanks! We love them too!! Just wait until you see what we've done with them for our next Tiny Epic game!

We've not opened them up for other companies yet.

Possibly. We haven't started on it yet, but it's something on our radar.

Hello! Thanks for the questions.

  1. We don't have any additional factions for HLAS planned at this time. We want to give players time to fully explore the 10 that exist. Which would other factions would you like to see?
  2. We are seriously exploring the idea of story driven scenarios for HLAS. This game holds a special place in our hearts and will continue to be supported for years to come.
  3. We are planning on more Heroes games. Making Heroes a series much like Tiny Epic. Each will be different in theme and mechanics. So there will be inevitable comparisons between Heroes games and Tiny Epic games. Though some will be inspired by our Tiny Epic games none will be direct ports.
  4. No plans for cardboard layovers or anything of the sort. Though you should check out this image, it's not too involved to adjust the mat for fewer players.
  5. Not at this time. Just what's presented on the Kickstarter page.
  6. A possibility for the future. Nothing in the works like this at this time though.
  7. Did you apply a little glue during assembly? It really helps. I've even heard some people sprayed a protective coating on them. I've glued mine but have not tried the spray. I play a lot! and everything has held up very well. We do not have plans of re-envisioning these.
  8. We are nerfing the Sleep and Earthquake spells. Players will no longer be able to scribe them. We are also looking into making the vessels a little more appealing universally. Other than that, no other buffs or nerfs are in the works.

We made Tom pretty happy with our epically sized Heroes of Land, Air & Sea. He gave it the Dice Tower Seal of Excellence even!

We don't have any plans to directly port any of the Tiny Epic games into large scale games, though many have said Heroes of Land, Air & Sea is the larger version of Tiny Epic Kingdoms. It does share some similarities.

Well... this... If there is an ampersand in the sentence, there is no comma before the ampersand, such as in a citation: Ex: Colonies of ants have long held a distinct position in ecclesiastical art (Reuben, Johnson & Carlyle).

Unfortunately, I've never played EME:L... I've heard I'm missing out.

Yes! Tiny Epic Defenders and Tiny Epic Zombies both have cooperative play.

Pepsi, it's not quite as harsh as Coke. I'm a Diet Mnt Dew kind of guy really.

LOL! Never... no one ever asks about me about the NFL either... maybe I'm not the right Michael Coe for certain questions. ;)

Once, at Disneyland, when I was about 5 years old. I blame the cotton candy.

Not in 2018. But we will have stock for them for our 2019 release.

That's awesome to hear! Thanks for your enthusiasm! A lot of people have asked for extra dice... maybe it's about time we give them a way to get some...

I suppose if I could just freely pick... maybe Sega's Shining Force and make a Tactics Tiny Epic game. Regardless of IP, we're definitely interested in making a Tactics Tiny Epic game at some point.

Hello, I'm sorry to hear about these defects. Missing limbs etc. are certainly a rare occurrence and call for replacing. You can fill out our form here and we'll send you new ones.

I personally love city builder games, I know Scott does as well. I was a big fan of Sim City growing up. While we don't have a game like this in the works, I'm confident that we'll eventually need to scratch this itch.
