Welcome

A wisened adventurer then :D And those places look phenomenal!! adds to bucket list

Orkney is absolutely magnificent. And almost no tourists, so you can still fully feel the energy of our ancestors. Orkney is full of standing stones, circles and neolithical buildings. They even have a pictish village. I have been there four times now. A bit difficult to get there, so stay there for a week or longer if you can. And they have the best whisky in the world (Highland Park)...

Should have you show us around! :D

Cooooorrrrmmmaaaacccc..... Sssssss..... Temptationnnnn.... Come, brrrruuuuuutaaaal...

By the way, brutal, you already know GF's forums are open to everybody, so even if you don't back this game, you can still be with us on this adventure!🙂

Yes, I was already commenting, the "mel_from_hell" is my main GF profile but then I realized I had another email in the kickstarter so now I have two profiles in GF due to kickstarter projects using GF as pledge manager haha. I will definitely keep an eye on the campaign and see how it does

I'll look into that. I can tell you that since the Owls flew we made an update on Gamefound revealing the Midnight boxed set price and STLs. But the Owl contained a little extra information and teased the box for Reiver. The information you're missing is that Reiver is a solo adventure, set on the Other Side of Midnight, where you play as Kalsien, an Aos Si Forsaken. Specifically one of the 'Bereft'. In the game you are trying to regain your honour, which is achieved by selecting and serving a Patron. Should you please your Patron well enough, you may be chosen to go through the ritual to have your 'Gift' restored. This means you'll be immortal again, and forgiven for the past crimes of your ancestors. In this case, Kalsien's father was a kin-slayer. The game features a loot system, and a Patron system in addition to the scenarios, which have an emphasis on exploration and relic hunting. Ah, but who is Kalsien? Kalsien is a villain from the main game, and events of Reiver are set in the years of Cormac's youth. Cormac does not feature in the narrative of Reiver.

Thanks, awesome! 😊

My pleasure! You've actually got a little more information now than anyone else, I imagine!

Absolutely! That would be wonderful! We have a proofreader for the German, and the translator is actually German (you might expect this, I don't know?) but the thing about proof-reading is that different sets of eyes always seem to find something, even the smallest something, and this usually leads to improvement.

Take the scenario book, for example... ... Well actually don't! It is not finished yet but the first draft is unusually ridden with mistakes. I've chastised myself, and am cracking on! We have a lot of potential developments forming so it is time well taken and well used, to get these things right. If we do it now, or after funding, it still has to be done!

I do suspect the German version is connected to your recent deal for print-on-demand miniatures ;-), but I know nothing of the details.

Anyway, yes, proofreading by several people with different focus can only increase the quality, and even though I'm a bit worried about spoiling the "story" for me, I'd be happy to help, whenever it will happen.

Bienvenido aquí también, Pax, y que el 2024 te traiga buenas noticias para tu pie y todo lo demás. ¡Mucho ánimo!

Estimado Juan (¿es correcto?) - Lamento la respuesta tardía. Mis disculpas adicionales por cualquier error en mi español, estoy usando una herramienta de traducción como siempre. Sólo quiero que sepas que valoramos profundamente tu apoyo. Créanme, aunque lo acepté, me sorprendió que no financiáramos. Muchos dicen que no lo vio suficiente gente y que no hicimos suficiente publicidad. Es una melodía dulce, pero los pocos miles de personas que la vieron fueron suficientes para financiarla. No logramos convencer. Asumo la responsabilidad. Me he fijado el objetivo de hacerlo mejor y nunca me rendiré. Todas mis horas disponibles están destinadas a mejorar este juego y los proyectos. Siento una profunda simpatía por su posición. También tengo una clara empatía. Tengo varillas en el tobillo derecho por una triple fractura. No es tan malo como lo que estás pasando tú, pero me deja poco que imaginar. Puedo sentirte. Ojalá pudiera hacer más que ofrecer escapismo únicamente. ¡Por ahora, estoy decidido a lograr al menos eso! Mucho amor Ser.

I will see if I can find ones better for EU ones, but cant promise!

Thank you both! I'll wait a bit longer then, maybe we get lucky!

Now have some US suppliers up! As you can see they are labelled US/UK shipping, so pick which fits you best! And also added a donate button for those who don't want to buy a product and just help out towards future expenses like advertising, prototypes and artwork :)

Ok, great! Yes, I wasn't thinking about a "merchandinsing campaign" either, I don't think it would give a good image. A shop is the best idea! As for STLs, well, we don't own a 3D printer, so it'll mean asking friends or going to a shop, but if necessary...

So my wife and I will start doing a list of ideas for the shop. When do you think it would be a good idea to start posting them? Maybe tonight?

You can submit any ideas you have and some we may be able to act on more easily than others. Trine is aware of the extent of our capabilities in regards to this, in terms of swift additions. The Patreon idea may not be for us, we are looking into it. I know we can supply a PDF story or piece of art and so on to members monthly but we'd want to offer STLs to keep our sculptors going. It may be we simply can't do it at the moment. I would not want to detract from the game and the exclusivity there of miniature content in any case. However as a means of expanding our rogue's gallery of the Other Side of Midnight it could be a fun pursuit. Around 150 have signed up to the newsletter so far by the way!

All Ideas are greatly welcomed! However keep in mind it has to be able to be made in Printify and by a EU/UK maunufacturer. Reason being that we cant quite figure out how the US sales tax works for a UK company where the manufacturer is in the US and sending to US customers. Apparently that means the customer has to pay sales tax and we have to charge that and then send it to the tax revenue place, which seems finicky.

As for ideas, already checked phone cases, beanies, caps, bags, magnets, stickers, bumper stickers, bottles, canvases, socks, notebooks and puzzles. Some of these might still be done if I can find EU/UK manufacturers :D

And want to make posters, but waiting for TechPaul to see if he can enlarge the art we have enought to make them clear.

As for what we have, they should be viewable in the shop now, just cant buy as waiting on domain :)

Welcome Hero! Great to see you here! Please do make yourself at home 😁

Thank you Trine!

Oh, so a fellow Star Trek fan too! Why am I not surprised?😁

As for CMON, yes, I never backed any of their campaigns and probably won't in the future, for two reasons: I don't think they should be crowdfunding anymore, and their games usually don't look very attractive to me. I've played Zombicide a couple of time with some friends, but it gets boring really soon, too repetitive.

Ok, so I'll wait, don't spoil any surprise!😉

It is to my mind a fine line between saying too much and not saying enough! So far I have kept most of the details of the 30 scenario campaign a secret, and the details of the ensuing acts which will follow it. In some ways because to do so seems to tempt fate. What if we never realise those things or visit those places? My focus is very much on exerting all my will to producing the game, and establishing the IP in reality with a product people can enjoy and immerse themselves in. I know, 100%, that once they do they will be hooked for life. Because I know these stories will speak to us all. Yes there are games and simple scenarios here to play and enjoy and have fun with, but there are many elements far deeper than that for those who delve and like something to consider long after the components are back in the box. In regards to the Crypt we will explore, it is a kind of' bridge of souls'. Whether it exists in the Land of the Quick or the Land of the Dead or is in fact a place on the Other Side of Midnight, will be something the players will need to figure out for themselves! The Charnel Queen has usurped the Court, and she is not so inclined to fill eternity with the pursuit of fleeting dalliances and carnal distraction to waylay boredom! She has plans, goals, and dreams to make real! The Charnel Court has existed a long time, and was a creation the last time Death-cults and powerful Bone Dancers threatened Inis Fael's continued existence and freedom. Some of the Court were imbued with advanced necromancy including chymic agents which preserved not only facets of function but also personality, traits, memories and powers. The undead creations spawned in this era were not all made in this fashion for the rites to perform were long and arduous, exacting such a toll that the living could be drained of life with one misstep in the process. During those days Heroes began to rise up in opposition to the Death-cult and to the sinister cabal behind them, and the conflict resolved in victory, of sorts, for the Heroes. However the Charnel Court continued, long after the demise of their creators, able to treat themselves with chymic solutions or not in need of any, to continue into the infinite. The Charnel King in fact was a powerful Bone Dancer himself. His is a tragic tale of continuing into eternity despite losing every aspect of humanity, and mourning the loss. He was a morose and sombre King, and his moods were dark when not lost in reverie or drawn to fickle entertainments of the rotting flesh to keep darkness at bay. For long and long the Court continued, the Charnel Queen growing increasingly embittered and frustrated... Until recently. And that is why Inis Fael needs Heroes again! Some Queens may say they have a tempest inside them, while convincing none. And some Queens need not say it. Everything that lives in all creation will be made to feel it...
