[@runefoundry]

We're so excited to be a part of bringing this incredible world to your tabletops! We'll be sharing more about the product and gameplay very soon on our social media, emails, and Discord.

[@azynkron]

Not my cuppa, but it sounds like a brilliant idea.

[@CATusthetidsresenar]

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to see how it works!!!

[@Pocobear]

I can't wait to compare it to rdr2 and 1

[@SpudMcKeegan]

@@Pocobear That might be hard to do, considering it's a Table Top RPG, not a video game.

[@TheCrnic]

Got to model a Cattle Drive, can't forget Cooky and his chuckwagon. Bandits or Monsters are waiting in ambush to steal some cattle.

[@Bjornson77]

My mom is from Gunnison, and she hadn't really wanted to watch your videos, but the second that I told her that you said that your main town area was Gunnison, her immediate reaction was "I wanna see". Thank you, Boylei, for getting my mom into the nerdy, geeky stuff that my dad and I are into Edit: Holy moly, this blew up. Thanks

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

Word to your mother - she raised a good geek.

[@Themodelman]

Not only is this an amazing diorama but that's a crazy announcement can't wait to eventually play it one day it looks so good!

[@charlessapp1835]

OK, now I need to see a diorama of settlers traveling through the South Dakota Badlands and running into a pack of Prairie Wolves. Love the idea of the game!

[@snsnplpl]

or large prairie dogs. A wagon wheel gets stuck in a collapsed tunnel, then a pack of angry great dane sized prairie dogs surging out to take you down would be scary. Coming at you, diving down into their tunnels when you draw a bead on them, getting attacked from the tunnel behind you etc One minute there's nothing there then they come in from every direction.

[@Craftlngo]

@@snsnplpl sounds like the scariest encounter possible in the great plains

[@BouncingTribbles]

@@snsnplpl if prairie wolves are big prairie dogs then that would work as the encounter.

[@BrunswickWizard]

​@@BouncingTribbles Dire Prairie Dogs, lol. They could duke it out with the Ceratogaulus, a prehistoric horned gopher which used to live in the Great Plains area up until the early Pliocene. I guess they fought each other like tiny little subterranean rhinos

[@BouncingTribbles]

@@BrunswickWizard I LOVE the idea of using archeological art for my dire animals.

[@Weretyu7777]

Not gonna lie, the Shrek meme at 5:35 got me. Loving the diorama and hope the Kickstarter for your game goes well!

[@hunterwilson781]

Well now I have to watch shrek again

LETS GO!!!!!!!!! YOU BET YOUR BOUNTY IM GONNA BACK THAT!

[@BrooklynQuarter]

"I drilled a hole under all of them that would have light. Which was pretty much all of them, except the outhouses." Ah, so the greatest monster in the Wild Imaginary West is in fact, Boylei.

[@WhiteTrashMoonshine]

During the last couple of years watching your wiw-videos, i have always thought to myself "this world would be such a cool setting for a tabletop or videogame". Glad to see it finally happen, can't wait to actually play it and introduce my buddies to this amazing world you have created! :)

[@LaserGadgets]

Actually quite a logical step! Good luck with the kickstarter!!!!

[@RollMeAFat1]

What an incredible announcement! So happy for you dude, WIW is one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen in ages and definitely deserves some multi-media attention, so excited Also this is like a Deep Rock Galactic Town, crazy people here to mine for gems and valuables and fight off monsters? ✅

[@kegnaofficial]

I love “weird west” settings, but have always wished they were grounded a bit more in the actual history of the place and era than in films based on it since the the actual history is often already incredibly strange and interesting. This looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@NewWarhammerNerd8881]

same!

[@DougPalumbo]

Signed up for the notifications! Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the game!

[@Mara999]

This is brilliant news! This is exactly the type of RPG-setting I would like to have adventures in. :)

[@joru_to]

Amazing collab with Hardy, love his art and learning content!

[@riverclishe]

Montrosian and long time sub here, thank you for doing one of our surrounding areas some justice! Looking forward to WIW with my friends!

[@seanathaalexand]

As someone who actually ran a D&D one-shot that was partially inspired by one of your dioramas this is super exciting news! I’m gonna keep up with this new project and definitely try to get it when it is released. Congratulations, dude!

[@christiaancoetzee1696]

I can’t believe I’ve been here since the start of WIW. Makes me feel old to be able to say I did it before it became popular.

[@CoralMan24]

congrats I think with that success we should get a face reveal of you so we can know the artist behind this wonderful world

[@chazzmondo]

Was super worried when you said game haha SOOOO happy it's a miniatures roleplaying game. Looks amazing what you've put into this already. Another awesome build too :P

[@fowlerillus]

Incredible watching you work! Thanks for the shoutout - I can't wait to share what I've been working on for you - it's looking COOL

[@everything_mc_parkour]

Congrats, nice to see this wold expand into people’s hands. next there should be a open world multiplayer game of this what would be awesome!

[@PetesWorld01]

Firstly the diorama looks fantastic, secondly congrats on the game news that's pretty exciting! I'll be sure to checkout the Kickstarter. 👍🏻👍🏻☺☺

[@Astro1derboy]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!! 😎 Can hardly wait!! 👍🏻

[@rccarguy3696]

Congratulations! This is huge! I always thought a movie would be great, but movies come and go. An RPG is so much better. Well done, my friend, and so well deserved. GBY!

[@JCetto.2612]

YEEEEESSSSS!!! I've waiting for this for so long!!! I'll go to Kickstarter a s soon as this video ends!!!

[@Arctic5172]

I am DEFINITELY pre-downloading! as a dnd dm this is a dream come true!

[@och70]

That is great news about the tabletop game, congratulations!

[@konoikurozora5851]

I'm SO hyped! Our RP circle doesn't have any wild west game yet, so I'll purchase the rulebooks as soon as they're out! Hyped to master that!

[@gameyybuilds]

Super exciting announcement! And you've got to be one of the best diorama rock artists out there! Excellent work.

[@cowboysam3104]

Gameyybuilds!!!!! Love your videos man

[@BespokeBeth]

YEEESSSSSSSS I've been saying forever that I want a game or tv show of WIW!!

[@bobburke7839]

The WIW is such a cool and intriguing setting, and as someone who has been following the series' development pretty much since its beginning, and I am so excited to see that it's now in game form. Congratulations Boylei!

[@hahadetailedname]

I am SUPER excited to try this and have always been looking for ways to support you. I love your builds, I am really excited to see what you cooked up for your new game

[@charlieamsterdam6081]

Been a silent subscirber for years and watching this made me tear up, your WIW content has really helped me through some tough times in my life and I am absolutely THRILLED that I'll finally be able to participate in this incredible world that you've built

[@shonfox3746]

The Shrek edit is pure perfection. Wonderful video all around as usual. Congrats on the new endeavor with Rune Foundry.

[@lynnnneee]

Oh my gosh!! Congratulations, what an exciting announcement! I can't wait to see how the game turns out!

[@eternalmiasma5586]

I’m so excited!!! I love new TTRPGs and the Wild West is a criminally underrated setting. It would honestly be so cool to have some of your builds as art for the game, maybe some backgrounds for pages

[@yeoldeharbinger5880]

A WILD IMAGINARY WEST TABLETOP GAME HOLY DAAAAAMMMMNNNN. YES

[@fnorazril]

Dude! This is so exciting! Amazing news. I shall promptly herald it from the rooftops.

[@sammathis6634]

I don't have the money to help with kickstarter, but I'd love to set aside some for the game. This is going to be awesome.

[@crystallynam6919]

I can't believe you're making my hometown!!! I've been following the WIW for almost three years and this is such an amazing reveal! I can't wait to buy the game!

[@nathancollier6182]

This is great. I love the additional step to bring the WIW to life! I'm in!

[@Art_Path_FPS]

On the one hand, I'm disappointed it's not a video game because I would have loved to work on that as an indie dev. On the other hand, I'm very happy for you. This is an amazing opportunity for you to grow the reach of your incredible creation. God bless you.

[@Daydam]

That's such a great anouncement, I love seeing how much the WIW is growing! Can't wait for the Kickstarter. Also, amazing build! The veins on the rock look incredible, it's such a cool detail.

[@JuliaJulia-vh4xc]

As someone who loves this series and is a sucker for Wild West settings _and_ already had a Wild West inspired dnd one-shot in the works? Yes yes yes yes I am absolutely supporting this kickstarter!!

[@wAwCreator]

The way you made the rock mountain is really interesting. 100 times more interesting than the way I do it 😆

[@ashtonporter4114]

This is so cool! Ive been hoping this would be made!

[@The_Anti-Guide]

It's still wildly unbelievable that you've grown so much as a creator since those wacky astronauts touched down near that oh-so distant mine.

[@TiredTimeTraveler]

I have been working on a Wild West inspired 5e campaign and have been using your builds for some inspiration so I am unbelievably hyped for the Wild Imaginary West to have its own TTRPG system! I can't wait for the launch!

[@dangerousmatt522]

From the first few episodes of this series, I knew that this world would make for a great role playing game game. So glad to see that happening.

[@ActualChef]

The very day I discovered this series I told my wife I wanted to play an RPG in this world. But your models are such a big part of that visual language. I need minis and battle terrain!!

[@negotiableaffections]

Congratulations Boylei. From the acorn of an idea in your head comes a great oak forrest as it explodes out into the world. I've always been a fan of your WIW and its great to see it rewarded so deservedly!

[@malcolmmehr505]

Hell yes!!! Soo pumped for this. As someone who has followed this from the beginning this’ll be amazing to see it become a game

[@charleschrisp5661]

Congratulations on your new game. I will definitely be purchasing it. It’s a weekly tradition for me and my family to watch your KZbin channel every Sunday morning before we get ready to go to church. We appreciate what you do for us. What you help my daughters use your imagination and expand their minds. Thank you.

[@lancec6046]

It’s great to see all your hard work turn into flourishing success! You have been blessed with a talent for our Almighty God and I’m grateful you share it with us all! Congratulations!

[@Chocobozpwn]

This was an unexpected treat, looking forward to backing your project!

[@ConnivingGooses]

YESSSSS September 10th is my birthday!!!! I am hyped for this game!!!

[@awrapaoxenhead3984]

This is amazing news! I’ve enjoyed listening to your lore for the WIW, and I’m happy for the announcement and very happy for you! Congratulations!

[@i12p]

words cannot describe how exciting this is. beautiful work as always boylei!

[@adamhuckfeldt2895]

Dude, I'm speechless. Did you day a WIW game??? Count me in. Love the WIW.

[@AlexFord-x8g]

I got so excited when you announced the RPG I just wonder if it will come with any premade story or quests.

[@JonqsSimulationsOfficial]

Boylei, I'm some random on the internet to you, but to me, you've been a great inspiration for my diorama and hobby experience. I feel proud so say I've followed you and this project for over 1 year now, and even though many here have followed it longer, I feel so happy for you and how far the project has gotten! Well done and good luck with the kickstarter!

[@mossbased]

What an incredible opportunity for you!! Doing what you love and having your own game is so so so cool!

[@mossbased]

Black canyon is one of the least appreciated national parks its so beautiful your eyes cant even comprehend how deep it is its sooooo cool ive been a couple times

[@popdewiller7900]

What a magic sensation. I feel like a kid watching your videos. When I was seven spent a whole summer playing in my garden with playmobil, setting a combat field with wood chunks, rocks, making rivers and lakes with a water bucket, and then blowing up it all with fireworks. It was a fun time with my friends. Greetings from Spain!!

[@wittymchitty]

I have to thank you for being the direct inspiration for my brothers and I's homebrewed wild west style D&D campaign. It's just a fun style that you can get really creative with, and seeing this get expanded into an actual balanced game will make my brothers excited.

[@haydencmacdonald]

"It ain't pretty, but I had a system and it worked' sounds like a dandy catchphrase for a Wild Imaginary Engineer character

[@Randleray]

YES! I found your channel about 3 years ago and was mesmerized with this setting since. I kinda adapted it as a world for private D&D sessions, but it was kinda hard to emulate, since D&D doesnt exactly support steampunk and guns as good as it does... well knights and dragons... I am looking forward to it, I will absolutely have a look into it.

[@BPCustomCreations]

I know the game is going to be crazy successful! I'm excited to see how it plays 😁👍

[@kojak717]

Great news! We're all pumped about this too!

[@sammax192]

Congratulations Mr.Hobbytime! My first ever video I stumbled upon from your channel was your take on the Crystal Mill! Seeing your craftsman ship in recreating and reimagining such an iconic Colorado landmark was so intriguing and refreshing! I’ve been hooked ever since and I regularly share that video with others. I’m so excited to play in my imaginary home state with my friends! Thank you for all the creative time, effort, and love you’ve put into this world and channel.

[@jcbro86]

This is the first thing I’ve ever bothered to sign up for the pre launch. I hope to support you and express thanks for sharing your creative gift.

[@armawillo]

listen man i haven't even been a fan of this place for very long and i'm tearing up over wiw ttrpg!!

[@ryandalton4757]

Excited about your new game and your diorama was fantastic! I've really loved the WIW series of dioramas and I certainly hope you keep doing them!

[@dragonboss7995]

As I've watched your imaginary west launch I remember thinking to myself. How cool would this be if it were a game. Well now it is. You have a backer!

[@EColi452]

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is SEVERELY underrated. I get it, it's far from the other big towns, but when we went a few years back I was awestruck. I am a geologist and I was absolutely geeked by all that Colorado has to offer. Love the series, I cannot wait to play the game!

[@BMan28yye]

As someone from Ridgway, CO, I'm pumped that I get to see something like this from one of my favorite creators! Can't wait for WIW!

[@luzchihtianprotector9858]

OMG OMG I'M FREAKING OUT!!!BEST NEWS EVER! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I LOVE THIS WORLD AND CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!

[@DisclaimerGarage]

Love the WIW! A game will be awesome!

[@l1277]

I'm not a gamer and I have no friends so I'll never get to play it, but I'm so excited about the RPG! I've been watching the WIW unfold and it definitely needed something like this. Congrats!

[@JClaytonBrown]

Congrats on the game! Really cool and really well-deserved. I'm sure it will have all the quality of your builds. Hope it is super successful!

[@garzilla7123]

That is such a cool little town, I want to live there. So awesome. 👍👍👍 And the news about the game is so awesome and amazing too, I hope it goes big for you my friend. 🤞🤞🤞🙂

[@adamroban7934]

Been watching this world develop for years, I'm more than happy to support you and this project. Can't wait for the kick start to go live!

[@graefx]

Congratulations! The game is well earned. I want to be one of the 200. Hope this is the first step to more. I cant get enough of WIW.

[@robertranford1359]

I’ve been in awe of your WiW series from the get go and to see you evolve as both artist and story teller and to see it all blossom into a tabletop rpg is absolutely phenomenal. 🎉

[@Fosh-yq4hn]

I remember the first time I stumbled upon your dioramas back in 2021 when I was bedridden with Covid. You’ve come a long way now and I’m glad that you’ve given us all a chance to be part of the Wild Imaginary West :)

[@JackedUpMinivan]

This is amazing! Every video you make I can just imagine it in a video game setting, RDR2 graphics with your badass content. This is how big IPs start! Congrats and good luck moving forward, I hope to be playing your game on my PS6. *edit* I understand this is a tabletop game announcement. **

[@MacDaddyMatt123]

Dude this is such great news! No cap I was just about to homebrew my own campaign set in your universe and now it seems the work is being done for me! Expect a backing for sure, can’t wait to see the final product. Keep up the great work man, much love.

[@kenziedoss2488]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE I’ve been around since there were only four or five videos 😭 I’m so excited for this I always hoped it would go in this direction I’m so happy to be able to experience this best of luck 🎉

[@orinlong889]

That Shrek appearance was perfectly done. Also, super excited for the ttrpg, I will definitely be paying it with my group

[@coolcatnonos5126]

Boylei, You have been my huge inspiration throughout the years I can not say how much I freaked out when this news came out. Keep on doing what you are doing -Noah

[@treyeaves1576]

Congratulations man, I’ve been watching these videos for a bit. Always thought this would make an excellent game. Hopefully one day this could be made into a manga, anime, or book series. It has the potential for something like that.

[@mtyuiop07]

I've been following you for a long time now, always making great content! I'm really happy for you about your upcoming project! For sure I want one! Looking forward to this!

[@InsidiousClouds]

I wish I could support the kickstarter financially, but alas, I have no money to give! I will share this with everyone I possibly can!

[@spydorz2084]

Definitely backing this ASAP

Very cool and I wish you much success!!! Thanks for keeping the spirit of the Old West alive.

[@Mu-podcast]

The announcement makes me so happy. An RPG is the perfect medium for the setting you created. I'm excited for this opportunity for you. I'm absolutely intending to get this game.

[@kaihumml1872]

Oh that'S awesome. I hoped for something like this from your side. I definetely sign up. You created such a unique scenario that completely differs from the regular stuff. And this diorama ist amazing and atmospheric!
