The Drowned Earth is an alternate Sci Fi tabletop miniatures game set in a land of ancient ruins, and lost technology.
Well, we're now over 1100% funded on our Solo/Coop The Drowned Earth expansion, and there are just a few hours left if you're interested in backing.
Pledge for the core box is just £39!!
Let me share some eye candy of the things we've unlocked :D.
You can check out the rest of the campaign HERE
Hey there, it's been some time hasn't it!?
Well, I'm very excited to announce that at 11am BST (GMT+1) I'll be launching a brand new Kickstarter: Ulaya Chronicles.
Ulaya Chronicles is both a stand-alone game and an expansion for TDE. The mechanics are slightly simplified, many of the components (including the miniautres of course!) are shared, and UC is a campaign game: a fantastic narrative (full of pirates and dinosaurs!).
And yes, you'll be able to import the AI mechanics directly in to TDE!
We're also introducing three new dino types, a new faction (PIRATES!!!) and hope to unlock some Alpha profiles for TDE and Ulaya Chronicles.
The TDE campaign was something really special, I hope you'll agree. This time I plan on working round the clock to make it AT LEAST as awesome, and I really you'll join me!
More informaiton coming soon, of course, but in the meantime, HEAD ON OVER to the Pre-Launch page and hit the Notify Me button!
We're approaching the end of the year, and thus I thought it was an opportune time to touch base with you all, and let you know what's been going on in TDE world!
First, and very excitingly, we've released our first wave of releases to expand the game. These are available individually, or as a Scenario Pack, including all five releases (six models in total):
The "King of Tartouf" scenario pack includes the titular scenario, which is a crazy "king of the hill" style multi-player game. Therefore, it also contains the rules for playing TDE in multi-player mode in this, or any other scenario!
However, if you didn't go all in on the Kickstarter, but just want to add a bit of variety to your chosen faction, the individual models can be found HERE
And if you're interested in reading more about the tactics each of these releases brings to the game, a Tactica blog article can be found HERE
Very excitingly, we've just opened registration for our Winter "Slow Grow" Campaign, an exciting story of falling stars, treasure and the threat of imminent volcanic eruptions, where you- the players- decide the outcome through submitting your games online.
Is your Kickstarter pledge sitting at home in its packaging? Well now is the time to break it out, and paint along with us- the "Slow Grow" aspect of the campaign means you start off with just three models, and paint the rest through the course of the campaign, adding just a few each round (rounds are 3 weeks)
The campaign has a legacy structure, where you'll be able to score achievements, and unlock specific game effects for yourself, your crew and your faction.
You can find out all about it in our Winter Campaign Hub where you can find out all about the plot, campaign rules, and use the download section to register and look at the first scenario.
Rounds will last 3 weeks, giving you plenty of time to get a game in, and paint up the models you need for the next round!
The Facebook Page has gone from strength to strength, and you really should throw us a Like to keep up to date with all the monthly goings on. However, the community really happens on our Facebook Fan Group, where people share WIP shots of their models, scenery, and discuss the game generally. Very soon we'll be running a competition there for all the Slow Grow painters!
We've been covered quite extensively by the likes of Ash Barker of Geurilla Miniatures Games, and the Monkeys With Fire twitch stream. Likewise, we've spent a lot of time at Beasts of War, and you'll find lots of video content including a number of battle reports there too, via our brand new Game Hub Page (throw us a review if you're a member!).
I'm going to remain vague here, but lets just say that we have several things in the pipeline including a new deck of Effect Cards (with a few interesting card types we've not seen before), Wave 2 models and scenario pack... and well, it won't be out till it's ready, but lets just say that the Winter Campaign is a modest taste of things to come!
We might even be working on a new way to game in the TDE universe at some stage too!
Once again, thanks so much for all your support. If you haven't heard from us in a while I hope this'll be an opportunity for you to re-connect with the game, and what is going on, and perhaps pick up a few exciting releases, or join the community via the campaign or facebook groups. And finally, Seasons Greetings, and I wish you all a very happy New Year!
Hey folks!
This is just a very quick message to let you all know that everything is done and dusted, and so you should be receiving packages very soon, if you haven't already.
I'm off for a short but, I hope, well earned rest. The Kickstarter fulfilment process dovetailed right in to the Salute wargaming show in London without a break, and I was running pretty much on fumes at that stage. That compounded by the fact that I was coming down with a cold meant that I'm currently pretty low on energy, although feeling pretty happy about how things have gone, and people's reactions to their packages!
Anyway, for the next week I will be taking a bit of a break from social media- if you need to contact me please know that I'll reply as soon as I get back, next week.
Thanks guys!
Ok folks, I have news!
Some people have already begun to receive the pledges I sent out on Wednesday. The second batch are on their way to Gamesquest fulfilment centre as you read this!
This means now 100% of orders have been fulfilled, and you should be expecting your pledge to arrive some time very soon, depending on where you are in the world relative to the United Kingdom. Just about one month early too. Whoohoo!
However, as I've said before, this is just the beginning. Lots of plans for exciting additions to the game and community are afoot.
I have a few more announcements, including a competition, but after 5, 12 hour days of packing boxes, I'm going to sleep for a solid 12 hours! I'll be in touch with a bit more info later this weekend. In the meantime, why not head on over to the Facebook Group and share pictures of your pledge? https://www.facebook.com/groups/400934313610837/
Who will be the first to do a video unboxing?! :o
