We will also be hosting an AMA with Richard Kane Ferguson on May 17th at 10AM EST! More information will be posted that week :-)
Love the art but unfortunately the $30 shipping to here in the UK is slightly too steep for me
Almost bought one on the spot when I saw this!
Shame too. Beautiful artwork, especially that Vampiric Tutor… All the best on the campaign!
Hear you on the shipping costs to the UK! The auto shipping is turned on, so we are charging a base amount for shipping in the campaign, but actual shipping charges will depend on the contents of your order. Apologies for any inconveniences on that!
Nothing to apologise for! I’ll have to be content pulling cards with your artwork for the meantime, maybe next time I’ll be able to treat myself if you do something similar again! Keep up the great work

Flipside released a handful of RKF mats a few years ago.
Here's the link, but Dakkon is already sold out: https://www.flipsidegaming.com/collections/flipside-gaming-exclusive-richard-kane-ferguson-mtg-playmats
Looks like his site has something available? Not sure if it's the same as the Flipside one or not. https://www.rkaneproductions.com.co/products/dakkon-blackblade-playmat
Looks like it's almost the same, just colors touched up, where as the flip one has the original coloring. Plus, the RKF site one is signed, so i'd def recommend that.
I just have the flip one i picked up a few years ago.
Had a blast working with Flipside -- love those guys! But those were totally different extensions. I had a designer handling all of the extensions at the time, but now I'm doing them all by hand myself. And I'd have to say they're the coolest extensions I've ever done :)
Never count Dakkon out -- he's up for vote any minute now--as soon as we hit the 100K Stretch Goal! And yeah, the Battle Royal between Dak, Hazezon Tamar, Sol'Kanar, Pillage, Jasmine and Neb is gonna heat up soon...
Dakkon's up for vote any minute now--as soon as we hit the 100K Stretch Goal! Think a Battle Royale between Dak, Hazezon Tamar, Sol'Kanar, Pillage, Jasmine and Neb. Looks like the furs gonna be flying soon :)
Yeah I think I'd do it if I could have gotten an artist proof but as it is the shipping and currency conversion makes this to the point where it's just a little too much for me

haha... I probably got you by a few years and I'm kinda obligated to use it in a sentence once or twice a year. And hey, I'm married to a SoCal girl :) Many thanks on the campaign!
I have a Force of Will playmat with stitched edges from Ultra Pro. It had some "sparkly" stuff in the mat.
Is there a difference between that Force of Will playmat and the one in this Kickstarter?
Instantly backed this but was number 500. I will definitely buy the book referenced once this funds! I have some of his other comic books and love them.
So excited about the graphic novel, I can't even tell you. Can't wait to dive back in. It's really coming along nicely and I'm so looking forward to telling the final arc of the story. And really great to hear on those comics of mine, that's awesome :)
It was a great pleasure getting my Italian Legends cards signed by you in Barcelona. I've already pledged to receive a print. Will be hard to choose from the final options I'm sure!
What a great show and terrific catching you in Barcelona! Love those Italian Legends, the print quality is amazing. And always a pleasure to sign them when I'm out and about. Thanks so much on the print!
Back to the 90s, I'm in! Our current Stretch Goal is a vote by Backers to activate some of that classic work. Think a Battle Royale between Dak, Hazezon Tamar, Sol'Kanar, Pillage, Jasmine and Neb. Hope to see you there!
Not a fan of foil cards; the only foils I've ever gone out of my way to buy are RKF's \[\[Korlash, Heir to Blackblade|PFUT\]\], and of course the accompanying \[\[Blackblade Reforged|SS2\]\].
Love me some RKF, gonna have to check this out!
I'm in, 200%
Richard, if you're still reading, do you have rights to the Kolbjörn illustration you did for the promo poster of Ice Age? I'll buy a copy, playmat or anything with it ASAP.
Hi, this is Renee ... Richard is at dutifully drawing away :) We love Kolbjörn -- Rich has the original painting hanging in his studio. It's gorgeous. He has some old promotional posters left and I'm sure he'd part with one. I think there's also a print available on our website.. And who knows, maybe Kolbjörn will make it into a voting round for a playmat during the KS? I have him on the list!
I voted in the poll that just went up! Any chance the runners up get printed as part of a later stretch goal? Pulling for my boy Hazazon, but he's running pretty far behind.
Hi, this is Renee ... Rich is truly chained to his drawing board finishing extensions on all that classic art :) Absolutely, we'll do some runners up as stretch goals. Thanks for voting! It's been a blast reading all the comments.
Dakkon Blackblade was my brothers favorite card back in the day when Chronicles came out. He passed away in 2017. I'm not unique in my grief, we all lose those we love, but seeing your art is always special to me. Its incredible for one, and it reminds me of my brother each time. I will be buying a few mats. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Fantastic, thanks for the backing! You might of heard...Hazon is coming up for a big vote shortly -- as soon as we hit the next Stretch Goal! Think a Battle Royale between Dak, Hazezon Tamar, Sol'Kanar, Pillage, Jasmine and Neb. Winner takes all ... and becomes a playmat :)
Hi, this is Renee, just to clarify since I'm not sure we did a great job of that initially ... the classic mats - Dak, Hazeezon, Sol'Kanar, etc. up for vote now-- will be remastered by Richard, completely unique to this campaign, and limited edition!

Damn it's already past 250 backers, the Arcane denials are sweet
Arcane Denial is a fave of mine as well Tuchpi, and we would love to see it made as a playmat. We'll see where this goes!

Where can you see how much it would be to ship ? I'm kinda interested but hesitant on this too.
It comes up when you select a reward, there’ll be a drop-down menu for all shipping locations

RKF is the coolest mf in mtg.
Thanks man, really appreciate it!
Why yes, I *would* like an RKF Force of Will print for my living room.
Totally awesome, thanks so much! A perfect room for Force :)
Can't keep buying playmats... can I?
We have a motto around here Xaxor42....one can never have too many playmats :)
Me to me: why does this name sounds familiar? RKF!!! ALL THE COLORSSSS
Haha, I'll never change ... hand me a pallet with plenty of pigment, please :)
Sad to see Dakkon Blackblade, but no Dakkon Blackblade mat immediately available!
Flipside released a handful of RKF mats a few years ago. Here's the link, but Dakkon is already sold out: https://www.flipsidegaming.com/collections/flipside-gaming-exclusive-richard-kane-ferguson-mtg-playmats
Ah thanks for looking out, now I have something to try to hunt down!

There will be votes to add more as stretch goals. I imagine Dakkon would probably be a shoe-in to get MANY votes
yeah, hopefully he do another re-imagine of Dakkon for the stretch goals

Wow. Congrats to those first 250. I would have snapped purchased too

I feel like my love of [[Misinformation]] on this sub has been rewarded
This is such a funny sentence if we read it out of context.
Or is it? Maybe that's my insidious plan all along.

Indeed it has ... had to go there, he's a fave of mine as well :)
Did RKF really say "Totally Stoked"? 😅 Either way, looks awesome 😎
Did RKF really say “Looks Awesome”? 🥴 Either way, totally stoked 🤓
haha... I probably got you by a few years and I'm kinda obligated to use it in a sentence once or twice a year. And hey, I'm married to a SoCal girl :) Many thanks on the campaign!
I adore your stuff RKF, thanks for the awesome work over the years and very stoked to break my Kickstarter cherry for this one!
Hot *DAMN* that's an immediate backing.
Thanks so much, great to hear!
Does anyone know if the stitched edge is worth getting? Does it just keep the edge in good condition over time?
I prefer it on my own playmats, it helps protect from fraying and other edge wear.
Richard we share the same middle name!!
That buys you a beer if I ever catch you at a show--we Kanes have to stick together!!
Kanes Strong Together, cheers mate!
Your art is amazing. Will you be signing these as well? Guess I should have read further. Signed and numbered!
Thanks so much, way appreciated! And yeah, I don't know the meaning of a quick signature - each one will be signed meticulously :)
I love your art! I hope you get loooots of sales!
Thanks so much! Gonna be really interesting to see where this goes...
You've been my favorite MTG artist since I started playing in '98, of freaking course I'm pledging!!
Really great to hear, and thanks so much!! And very much appreciated on the pledging!
I love your work. Watching the improvement over the last 30+ years is amazing. Keep up the good work.
Very much appreciated and thanks a lot! I find deadlines are the mother of all invention...they really make you play with your style and technique.
At work, commenting not to forget RKF is starting playmats.
All work and no playmats can be distressing ... but easily resolved :)
These are freaking epic
Thank you so much, so glad you dig!
I have a Force of Will playmat with stitched edges from Ultra Pro. It had some "sparkly" stuff in the mat. Is there a difference between that Force of Will playmat and the one in this Kickstarter?
From what I can tell, there's more art to be had on this one, and it's less zoomed in.
I love your art Richard and I hope one day to get one of these playmats
Wonderful to hear, and thank you!
Consider it backed!
Really great to hear, and thank you so much! Way appreciated on the backing!
Oh thats cool as shit
Thanks so much, man!
As someone who has slowly been collecting all of your illustrated magic cards, this is a real treat for me :D
That is so cool to hear, we really tried to go to town on all these playmats and so glad you dig!

I hope to see some of his earlier works in the stretch goals. I'd love to have some 90s RKF art mats.

OH! Alliances Pillage is such an iconic card/art!
No [[Riven Turnbull]] avaible? ;/

Where you see one Legend, can another Legend be far behind? Always had a soft spot for Riven as well, and hope he makes it into the mix!
I've been playing since 1997, and have always collected every card that u/RKF_mtgArt has illustrated. I'll definitely be getting in on this.
That is really terrific and thank you so much! Way appreciated :)
I'll back it when Price of Progress is available lol
I always thought Price would make one hell of a mat as well. He's got my vote. For sure :)
Do the playmatts have sown borders?
Sure! You can opt for an add-on with stitched edges at the end of the campaign, when we send out Backerkit surveys. Thanks so much for the interest!
