What is TnT
The great armed conflict known as the End War ravaged the world for years but came to its devastating conclusion in just seconds. In the aftermath of the nuclear attacks, remembered as the Great Fall, the United States was left a scarred wasteland. Millions died, polite society collapsed and scientific knowledge was lost in a forest of mushroom clouds. But hey, it’s not all bad. You and your fellow survivors live in the Tri-State Wasteland, an unforgiving land of mutants, lost technology and as much opportunity as danger. In this new world anyone can make their own destiny. But it's not easy and you better have grit, cunning, and a willingness to get a little dirty. This is the world of This Is Not a Test, a 28mm skirmish wargame set in a post-apocalyptic United States where warbands fight for survival, power and greed in the wastes.

What is a Backroom Event?
A BSS Backroom is a special preorder event for launching a new game. Similar in a lot of ways to a crowdfunding campaign, there are a few big differences.
- We aren't raising money to fund the production of these items. These are items we are committing to producing regardless of preorder numbers.
- We often offer a lot of bonus unlocks (Stretch goals) many of these items are things we were planning to release anyway. The backroom allows us to have some fun and release them early or give them away for free!
- Your card will be charged immediately. As mentioned above. This isn't a crowed funding campaign.
- We reject FOMO. In almost every single previous backroom event, all items are available after fulfillment is completed.
PREORDER NOTICE
