Kreel Manor: Citadel of Horrors Update 7 – What an epic finish!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 02:17:48 PM

Hello there,

Talk about a dramatic ending – it went from 'Will we even unlock the Path of Song add-on expansion?' to utterly destroying the £100,000 objective! :D Hall or Nothing backers yet again showing their elevated levels of class, love and support all over the place.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I've said it before many times and I'll say it again, we literally could not do this without you. And now, thanks to your support, the onus is on us to deliver you the best flippin' Dungeon Crawl Card Game in the world – a task I hold myself dearly to.

So, a temporary parting now that the campaign ends, but as always I'll keep you posted with updates along the way, right the way up to and after fulfilment of the game. Francesca and I will still be around in the comments and by email and via twitter and on our super friendly Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/gamesofkilforth if you haven't already joined us) if you have any questions or queries.

Until next time, take good care of yourselves and each other, and keep shining like the absolute stars that you are.

Cheers!

Kreel Manor: Citadel of Horrors Update 6 - Path of Song pledge levels added!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 09:12:23 AM

Hello there,

Just a quick one – two pledge levels have now been added that you can switch to, and both include the Path of Song expansion:

Lord of the Manor's Song

If you pledged for Lord of the Manor, this is the same but also adds the Path of Song expansion:

Lord of the Manor's Song

Hall Manor of Things

If you pledged for Artisan of the Manor, this is the same but also adds the Path of Song expansion:

Hall Manor of Things

That's all, see you on the flip-side!

Cheers,

about 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 08:22:50 AM

Hello there,

Yes, we want to play as the Melody Scribe too! :D So, for the next few hours only, you can now add the Path of Song – Melody Scribe hero expansion as an add-on to your pledge at the deep Kickstarter discount, but hurry, because it will be offered at full RRP in the pledge manager! You can navigate to the main page and click Manage Your Pledge to add it to your order. :D

Cheers, and see you at the finish line!

Kreel Manor: Citadel of Horrors Update 4 - Final Hours! Playmats + RRP + Podcasts + Scribes??
about 1 year ago – Mon, Aug 28, 2023 at 05:36:28 PM

Hello there,

This is it, folks! I'll try to keep a lid on it as I tend to go one with myself when I'm excited... So as the campaign draws to a close, we descend deeper into the dungeons of the Citadel of Horrors to face what monstrous threats the Lord of the Manor has in store for us. It's not very fair to my other games but I have to admit that The Dungeon Crawl card Game is the game system I'm most excited about in my career. It's not just great fun to play, it's been an absolute riot to design, and to devise, and to continue designing, sinister rug-pulls for unsuspecting heroes (that's you guys). Makes me feel like a proud Dungeon Master all over again. :D

As we hurtle towards the finish line it would be awesome if each of you could post just one mention of our campaign on social media – if a thousand of you did that at once we'd see super numbers! And with that in mind...

Kickstarter Discounts Ending!

This is just a gentle reminder that all prices will revert to RRP in the pledge manager after the campaign ends, so be sure to grab anything you'd like at the deep discounts now.

Double-Sided Playmats!

As a reward for your brilliant support, we've decided to go ahead and make the playmats double-sided, because a) we want to continue delivering the best possible playmats on the market, and b) we bloomin' love ya! :D

So to clarify: all Kreel Manor playmats will be double-sided with full art on one side and graphics outlines on the other side to show where to place everything whilst you play, something like this:

This is a Work In Progress - there will be some layout changes, but you get the idea :)

Path of Song at £100,000?

As for the Melody Scribe, if we don't hit the £100,000 mark, don't worry about it: I have huge plans for this game system, and we'll repackage this epic hero in future content somehow, maybe in a stand-alone expansion base set.  And for those of you who missed it, here's what this hero would look like if we did hit £100,000... 

Veilwraith on BoardGameGeek podcast + Kreel Manor gets a mention!

Check out this excellent BGG Podcast #24: Oldies but Goodies, with Monique from Before You Play and BGG's own Candice Harris – it just so happens to feature Veilwraith and Kreel Manor: Citadel of Horrors...

And that's all for now, I'm super excited to see where the campaign ends, and I can't wait to join you in the Dungeons of Kilforth, fellow adventurers...

Cheers, and have a ruddy excellent week!

Who else is looking forward to watching Ahsoka tonight?? :D

Push for Kreel Manor

I cannot stress this enough: there are but two of us here, and we're doing everything we can to push the word out about our game, so in liking, sharing, and retweeting our posts, tweets and instagrams, you can really help give us that extra lift and push this game to be the best that it can be. So be sure to tell all of your friends in any forums that you can, and thanks in advance!

Path of Song: Melody Scribe

In the last update we talked about a potential new hero. As I also outlined previously, I'm adamant on delivering quality and not over-stretching the logistical requirements of this project. But I am prepared to put in the extra hours and resources for another hero if you guys can bring that even extra, extra level of love and support. So if we hit the £100,000 mark, we'll open up the Path of Song expansion pack add-on option, which will give us the awesome and moodily charismatic Melody Scribe:

I'm so excited about the plethora of exciting characters and unique game mechanisms we can bring to The Dungeon Crawl Card Game system with new heroes and adventures, and here's one of the characters I'm most excited about. The Melody Scribe is not just nifty with a sword, but their deck of Songs can also bring tales of woe and fear, or righteousness and encouragement, depending on their mood and situation.

Call of Kilforth: A Fantasy Quest Game

Elsewhere in the world of Kilforth, the Call has been heeded! Watch as Canje Studios takes us into a play-through of the first Mass Production Copy of our latest game, Call of Kilforth, which is shipping out to our various hubs around the world right now.

Along the southern fringes of Kilforth, the Ancients finalise their insidious plans and send forth the unstoppable gloom. Heroes and villains take to their ships, boasting loyalties to the imperious Blue Drake Navy or the lawless Sea Dogs. And as ill winds blow through the idyllic tropical archipelago, beneath the cerulean waves, great beings stir...

And that's all for now, I hope you all have an exciting weekend of gaming planned ahead, and that you are safe and well in your endeavours regardless – have a beautiful week, fellow friend and dungeoneer! 

Cheers,

Tristan xx
