Latest Updates from Our Project:

PM locked down, coins done!
almost 7 years ago – Tue, May 09, 2017 at 08:18:58 PM

Hi folks,

Just a quick note today to let you know I locked the Pledge Manager down so I can get final numbers for the printer. If you did not get the Pledge Manager email/invite, please check you junk mail. I sent out a reminder today for the 50 backers who have not filled theirs out. We are very close to getting the printing started, just a few final edits in the graphics.

The coins were being made by a different manufacturer and I just got production samples, which are so awesome! Check out the photo below.

Printing should start in the next few weeks but we will keep you posted!

Hi Folks!

I just wanted to send out a quick update to let you know how things are progressing. 

Since we had some delays, that caused some scheduling issues for our Graphic Designer. He had some other projects that were in process as well, but he should be ready to continue our project in the next few days.

The sculpts are getting close to finished for the miniatures! Chad and Micah have been working on them and we only have a few left.

Things should be getting started with the manufacturer shortly and we should start seeing samples. When I get any samples I will be sure to share them with you.

**If you have not completed your Backerkit survey, please do so as I would like to close it down by the end of April so we can get final quantities figured out.

Thanks for your continued patience, we will get this project done, and done well!

Backerkit surveys going out today!
about 7 years ago – Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 06:18:20 PM

The Backerkit surveys are going out today. With Backerkit you will be able to manage your add on's and update your address until the lock down date which is currently set at April 15th. 

If you have any questions at all, please ask them through the backerkit support and we will get them answered as soon as we can.

Other news

  • The metal coin colors have been chosen and production on those will begin shortly. 
  • The rules have just passed through edit draft number 3, hopefully the next draft is the last and then we can get the text over to Peter to make into a beautiful book.
  • The miniature sculpts continue and with the help of Micah, are coming along nicely. 
  • We are working this week on finishing up the skills for the added Slayers, this is one of the last items we need to finish before the printing can start.

We are doing the best we can without the help of our design guru Leif, as he has decided for the most part to spend his time on other things. 

This makes some items difficult as I am NOT a great details guy. However, Steven and myself are working hard to get this great game out to you as soon as we can! It's taking more time than I had anticipated because of this, but we will not compromise on quality!

Cheers!

Mike and Steven

Backerkit update!
about 7 years ago – Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 07:41:44 PM

Hi Folks!

I'm back from Australia, and after a few slow months things are gearing up! I apologize for the delays in getting the backerkit out, it's been frustrating setting it up to say the least. 

I am still not 100% happy with the setup but it is all as good as can be I suppose. The only real issue is the way the Slayer Miniatures will work, and I'm going to need your help on this one! Since there is enough room for 1 set of Slayer miniatures in your box (which we made bigger remember) you only need to add on $15 for your first set. Shipping is included because you already paid it for your game shipping. 

There is however, a very good chance that you folks will want additional sets of miniatures, I know I do as they are amazing sculpts! If you do, that's wonderful, but please select the add on that states that it is for "Additional Slayer Miniature Sets" as the shipping will be a substantial extra cost for me. I tried to price the actual miniatures as low as possible for you, so the extra sets have some shipping added on. I feel like $37 CAD is still an incredible price for the set, I hope you agree.

 The important part!

The backerkit has been submitted for review, paid for, ect. All I'm waiting for now is the approval from Backerkit and I will send it out.
Thanks for your support folks! Soon the dragons will descend to your very own land!

Hi folks,

This is just a quick update as to how things are going. No big items have been completed but I wanted to post an update as I will be spotty with communication for the next month as I'm headed to Australia for work! 

I have paid backerkit and should be able to finalise the surveys and get them sent out while I am away, so keep your eyes peeled!

If you have any questions Steven will be around and can answer most of them while I'm away. [email protected]

Cheers,

Mike
