Hello! 

Hope you're having a great weekend so far! 

Thank you for pushing us to our first stretch goal.

So, I can't express to you how much I personally enjoy playing the game with the PREMIUM WOOD TOKENS that were funded in the pledge manager after the first Battle of the Ancients campaign. They add a lot of weight to each unit and an added splash of color to the map.

This is why I made sure that this was the FIRST STRETCH GOAL in this campaign. 

I'll answer a few questions right now. Let me know in the comments if you have any others: 

Will they be offered separately to those of us who already have the game? Yes, they will be offered as a separate add-on for those of you who already own the game. We may offer them during the campaign or we may offer them after, in the pledge manager. You can actually pick them up RIGHT NOW in our web store if you want! RIGHT HERE

What about the EXPANSIONS?! We are looking forward to hitting the "WOOD TOKENS IN ALL EXPANSIONS" stretch goal! Whatever happens, they will be offered separately (as an add-on or in the pledge manager).

What about the non-unit tokens (Card Draw tokens, Action Dice tokens, event tokens, resource tokens, etc.), the Fallen Star token, and the fence and wall tokens? They will remain cardboard. Having the distinction between wood units and cardboard "other things" works well. The units have more...gravitas.

We slipped another stretch goal in there between the two "token upgrade" goals: THICK GHOST FACTION SCREEN. We very recently sourced this upgrade, it's always nice to have more durable components! 

We plan to reveal many new stretch goals and a couple new add-ons (we're waiting on final pricing for several items, sometimes these things take longer than expected). 

Talk soon, stay safe!!

Hi!

I am ecstatic that we have HIT OUR FUNDING GOAL and DARK VENTURE: BATTLE OF THE ANCIENTS and the new GHOSTS & ROBOTS expansion will be made! I'm humbled and surprised that we hit the goal SO QUICKLY!

Thank you so much for backing. Without you, this weird vision would remain trapped in a dank cell in the basement of the Ominous Tower, rotting. Truthfully, from my heart, thank you.

Onward! We have a lot of surprises and cool things forthcoming in the campaign, so keep checking back!! For example, we are waiting on final pricing for possible last minute ADD-ONS, one of which was very highly requested after the first campaign (it will probably be shaped like a cube?!).

One last thing: PLEASE if you know someone who might be interested in this game, let them know about the campaign! Share the campaign link. Being a small company, we don't have the deep marketing war chests that larger board game companies have. We rely a lot on YOU to let your friends (and your social network) know that this game exists! TELL FRIENDS!

Until the next update, thank you again, and stay safe. It's dangerous out there, the darkness is absolutely crawling with unknown perils.
