Final Houses and Art requests
almost 7 years ago – Fri, May 12, 2017 at 08:27:38 PM

 Hello Strikers,

It has been a few weeks and Kickstarter is still preparing to transfer funds. We had 4 pledges that did not process. 

House Names

I want to thank everyone for participating in the naming of the Households. We got some really great names. Here is the final tally and breakdown.

  • House of the Unnamed 21.75%  
  • House Darkwood 18.8%  
  • House Molyneaux 16.3%  
  • House Hegewald 16.2%  
  • House Illicinor 9.85%  
  • House Xander 9%  
  • House Von Hales 8.1%

We will add 

Household Unnamed

Household Darkwood

Art Update!

I am expecting the first set of custom Squires to be coming in over the weekend. We have a tight time table on the art so we can get this game to the printer on time. 

IF YOU HAVE NOT SENT IN YOUR ART THERE IS NOT MORE TIME TO PROCRASTINATE.

To those backers that have sent in the art you are awesome! Thank you.

Add-ons

Playmat

I am working with a company that makes play mats. There are high quality and look and feel awesome. If we offer a play mat it would be roughly 20x30in. I am working to get the cost down on this. 

Extra Knights

I am also looking to add-on the knights that were added by the King's Pledge Level. I am not not sure if we will add on all of the Knights or just a limited number of them I am still working on the numbers.

That is all for now I should have some art to show you next time and more information about the add-ons.

King's Champion Naming of The Household Contest
about 7 years ago – Mon, May 01, 2017 at 08:41:22 PM


These are the finalist for the "Naming of the Household" contest. You will have one week, til May 8th, to rock the vote, so be prompt or miss out at democracy at it's finest!

The two winners will have their household names included in the game, and their choice between the deceptive, dice roller, House of Borgia by Scott Almes, or a set of laser cut, hand painted, wooden tokens that will replace bravery tokens, panic tokens, dice counters, and power token chits in King's Champion.

You can find the link here.

One Last Thing!

If you have pledged at the King's Squire or Knights Errant level, PLEASE get us our photos and names to us before it is too late! Thank you!

I Lied, This is Truly The Last Thing!

Thank you all for everything!

A Heartfelt Thank You

 Hello Strikers,

WOWZERS!!!

What a last few days, we had it was a great run! Thank you for the support I can tell you we felt supported the whole way with King's Champion and all the interaction made it a really great project.

Doing the live broadcast was very very cool and fun for us. We will continue to make that a thing that we will do with each Kickstarter from here forward. It was special to share the final hour with folks and talk about the process as well as other things!

To Infinity and Beyond....

So for the next few weeks we will be going crazy getting all the rest of the art completed and then finalizing the Rulebook. I hope folks will stay active to help us during the process. We will post regularly. If you are new to our process then welcome to our process. 

Art Work

If you backed at the Squire, Knight or Duke Level you will need to get your art in right away. We will be accepting art submissions until 05-10-17 if your art is not in by this point I will spam you for the art =)! How ever if by 05-12-17 it is not in, you run the risk of not having your art in the game due to printing constraints. I do have a schedule to keep so the game will be on time!

please copy and paste this into an email. Send the email to [email protected]

I look forward to the process and we are excited to move forward! Thank you again from the whole Talon Strikes Team!
