You know I like my data and working with @aleksibriclot.bsky.social I had to make a little graph showing the popularity of each of the playmats design from the Kickstarter campaign.
I expected the Sliver Hivelord to be popular, but not twice as much as the OG Vraska.

I had so much fun working on these playmats! I wanted each one to feel like you’re stepping into that character’s world. Available now on Kickstarter! 👉👉 bit.ly/421MqB4

In 2022, I worked with Aleksi Briclot on a Kickstarter campaign for Magic Playmats with his art.
Seems like we might be doing another campaign this year (playmats, and token, like in 2022)... and he shared this video of one one the token illustration he is making.

If you are considering a Kickstarter, do get your project approved early and launch a Coming Soon page.
And I suggest you check the design for this Coming Soon, it is an excellent benchmark (except for the lack of a Bluesky account):
