Mythica: Fate of Heroes Board Game

BackerKit Locked and Loaded!
over 6 years ago – Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 12:22:24 AM

Greetings Everyone,

Thanks again for your support! We closed out the campaign with a flurry of pledges and then received several messages asking if we are planning to accept pre-orders. Well, yes, we are, and depending on add-on sales, late pledges, and pre-orders, there's an outside chance we'll get close to that elusive miniatures stretch goal. :)

For now, the fine people over at BackerKit are reviewing our surveys, and you can expect to receive your survey before the weekend. Along with saying thank you and gathering your shipping information, the survey will give you the opportunity to pick and choose any add-ons you might like to receive. 

I'm looking forward to getting the surveys back. We're having a great time preparing for fulfillment. I'll keep you posted..

Karl

Collaboration Invitation!
over 6 years ago – Mon, Dec 04, 2017 at 04:23:36 PM

Hello Everyone,

In the midst of a hectic final week, we want to do something fun in the spirit of crowdfunding and collaborative story-making: we would like to ask you, our backers, to contribute to the lore of the game. 

We are going to make a special collection of thirteen cards called the "Backers' Dozen" and the content on the cards will come exclusively from backers of this first kickstarter.

To play along, all you have to do is send an email to [email protected] and give us a couple of descriptive sentences about one or more of the following that you would like to see in the game:

• a monster
• an item
• a weapon
• armor
• an ability
• a spell
• a trap
• a trait
• a tactic

On Saturday, we will pare the entries down to a set of thirteen and send an update with the list.

10 Days to go!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 01, 2017 at 07:27:29 AM

Hello!

We've come a long way and we're fully funded, but this thing is far from over! There's only one thing to say... Leerroooyy Jennkiinns!

Mythica: Fate of Heroes has 10 days left, so we've been working our tails off. Sure, there's always a mid-campaign lull. Sure Black Friday is a punch up the bracket for crowdfunders... do we care?! NO! 

We've been doing podcasts, managing social media, working with Board Game Geek, joining the Indie Game Alliance, installing BackerKit for the after party, and creating ad graphics for everyone, everywhere...

And just one quick word on Stretch Goals. We met our first. It was a little one, just an appetizer. Now, we'd love to hit the bigger goals: 

• At $20K, we can do the Monstrous Expansion Pack (deluxe and collector's editions) full of extra monsters, traps, and monstrous enhancements.
• At $25K, we can swap the chipboard tokens and markers for high-quality plastic pieces (all editions). 
• At $30K, we'd LOVE to upgrade all the character markers to Miniatures!

No, seriously... I want miniatures. Who doesn't love miniatures?

And if you haven't heard Jonathan Nadeau's Crowdfunding Cast, check it out. He's a prolific podcaster who reviews Kickstarter campaigns. We are grateful to Jonathan for inviting us on and giving us a forum to discuss the game and answer questions. Listen here, if you're interested: http://bit.ly/2BxqrVG

 

Last but not least, watch for a new backer's-only promotion before the end of the week... we're going to invite all of you to make your mark on the game. :)

Thank you all for your support! Help spread the word!

Limited time, Backer-only Promotion!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 02:03:07 PM

Today we're going to try something a little different. 

We want to get this campaign in front of as many gamers as possible, and we're hoping you'll help us in exchange for a wee bribe in your game box.

Here's how it works: If you will give us a shoutout on your social media--share a post from our Berserker Labd GDS Facebook page, link a post to our campaign (http://kck.st/2jjgZ3P), Regrann on Instagram with @berserkerlabs, or retweet us--we will slip five exclusive cards into your game box to show our appreciation. You'll get one extra card for each of the five mini-card decks (Items, Abilities, Challenge, Combat, and Trophies). Importantly, these five cards will be available at no other time.

The idea is simple... we now have ~150 identities on social media and we all want the same thing: more pledges so we hit more stretch goals and get more goodies in our game. So we're hoping to mobilize our wonderful Berserker Backer Army. 

Please consider spreading the word about Mythica: Fate of Heroes, and thank you again for your support! We'll run this promotion until November 18, but after the 18th these five cards will be locked away forever!
