Hello Strikers!

Just a quick update to let you all know that we are well under way on printing and assembly. This should complete in the next couple of weeks. It is very exciting to be in the final stretch. As soon as we know all games are packed and loaded we will send out and update to let you know the time line on delivery. 

Just wanted to pass the on that things are moving along and we can not wait to get the game out to you. I hope to have some more news in just a few short weeks that the games are on the way to the shipping centers.

If you have not completed the survey on backer kit you should get an email today, please go and complete that. If you need to change your address please do it there. I will be closing that down here in about 10 days or so because I have to get may mailing list put together.

Thank you so much for taking this journey with us.

AWESOME NEWS!
almost 8 years ago – Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 12:46:07 AM

Hello Strikers, 

I got the PPC and it looks awesome! The box is sturdy and well made. The cards have a great finish to them and look wonderful. The blinds turned out stellar with the printing and the shape. They do not tip over and you can see the actions on the back of them.

The dice and wooden bits are all high quality. The dice are a smaller than I wanted them to be but even though they are a tad smaller they are beautiful. The Anti-Pope marker turned out great. Ben did a wonderful job with the shape and art work for it. Thank you Ben. The silk screen on the tokens is nice and stands out creating high quality pieces to play with. Over all this is going to be a wonderful product that each of us will be able to enjoy for a long time. 

So here are a bunch of pics!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Super excited! it will be close but I hope to have the games delivered on time. I mailed out the giveaway from last month. I hope to hear from those folks and see some pics of the cups!

I do have something else for this time around and we will send out a newsletter with information on how to enter and a picture of the cool one of a kind custom box I made for this months giveaway! Let's just say it is a smaller custom wooden box that will fit the game. So keep an eye out for that!

As always Scott and I are proud and honored to produce this game for you. We are grateful for your support and you folks having a direct impact on getting another title on the shelf for Scott Almes!

We also asked in our servery if anyone was interested in taking a look at our next project King's Champion. Many of you expressed interest so I wanted to share information on this as well.

I am please to say I have the latest version of the game on Tabletopia. If anyone would like to take a look see or play the prototype please do not hesitate to contact me though email, twitter, kickstarter or facebook. I would be over the moon to sit down with you and teach you the game.

You are in charge of a stable of Knights that are going to the King's Jousting Tournament in order to joust against Knights of the realm. You will roll dice to show your prowess and might. Acquiring Squires and equipment during game play you can customize your Knight to become more powerful and earn King's Tokens to promote your Knights. Players will use pages from your household to gain abilities during each round to build the Morale and Bravery of each Knight they control in the tournament. In the end see if your Knights will prevail and you become the King's Champion!

Drawing, Dice and Wooden Bits!
almost 8 years ago – Sat, Jul 30, 2016 at 09:53:25 AM

Hello Strikers!

I do have some exciting news. The dice and wooden upgraded bits are on their way to me for final approval. I was sent some pictures and they look fantastic. I am very happy with the Pope marker and the tokens look great. The dice have a nice deep rich color to them and the symbols stand out clear. 

Everything else was approved earlier in the month and I should have the pre production copy very soon. So things are moving along as they should be. I am really pushing them for the November release.

 

We drew our winners for the Giveaway in July and the winners are:

Ravnos Phantom and Nathanael Auarn

Congratulations to you both. A separate communication will be sent to you how how to claim your prize.

We will have another giveaway this month so please look to the news letter for information on how you can be a part of that. This will be a custom wooden box to carry your game in with raised lettering on the front. I will have pictures in the news letter with all the details on how be a part of the fun!

If you have not completed your Backerkit Survey please do so there are about 36 backers that have not completed this. You will have about another 4 weeks to get this done and then I will have to lock it down and at that point any pre orders or addons will be charged.

Thank you so much for the continued support for Talon Strikes Studios and for House of Borgia. Very are very excited for the release of this wonderful game.

I would also like to take a moment to talk about TJ Dunbar and his latest project for Castle Assault. TJ is a good friend and a backer of House of Borgia. I play Castle Assault and it is a ton of fun. If you have the time check it out here.

 I look forward to bringing you pictures of the pre-production copy soon. I will also update when I get the dice and wooden bits. So hard to wait for stuff that is coming through the mail. Still like a little kid when it come to that!

Wallpapers and Postcards!
almost 8 years ago – Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 11:27:18 PM

Hello Strikers,

The digital rewards are done! I have a link here to the folder you may down load the wallpaper and the postcards. I have included a front and back to the postcards. The stories on the cards are a stretch goal. We hired a writer post Kickstarter to write these and they are great!

Other Big News!

The pre-order link is up on the HOB page and that will be there for a few months until the games arrive from China. 

Backer Kit is done and you should be getting that invite in the next day or so. I am looking to put out the Print and Play through backer kit. So I am navigating this currently and hope to have it set by the weekend so you all will be able to download the game and play if you wish. The dice template is in there and I will have all the instructions on what and how to use the template. Super excited to be moving along and getting closer to fulfilling all your rewards.
