Just launched on Kickstarter: the Modular Arabic Shrine, which combines the experience of Oshiro Model Terrain (@OSHIROmodels) in producing quality miniature terrain with the historical and game design expertise of the H&G Lab of the university! Link here: tinyurl.com/mashrine

And FUNDED in about 30 minutes, thank you so much for your support! We're looking forward to sharing more information with you until and after our campaign ends on May 21st. Stay tuned!
