And Evangeline is unlocked! Cold blooded killers all 'round! That's our first ever social media goal, seemed to work okay :)

.

Just a quick note on the current run of heroes and villains, they're all concept sketches, the final minis will all be in cool action stances! Speaking of which we've just got Teelac back from our sculptor and he looks good!

The Events are on us :)
almost 7 years ago – Fri, Dec 08, 2017 at 03:04:45 AM

So, you'd like 25% more Events? Boom! Done. A second range ruler so you don't have to share with your mate who hogs it? We can accomodate you :)

 .

Next up is Sondar, Captain of the Cygnus. Sondar is an Ohrna, a major space faring species who never developed skin and who's bones are more like cartlidge. The Orhna wear close fitting exo-skeletons to get around in a humanoid-centric galaxy. Captain Sondar unlocks at £118K. 

.

After Sondar we get Hunter, one of Sondar's crewmates. Tough as a face full of broken bottles Hunter has spent his adult life shooting at people for one reason or another. He unlocks at ???

.

EVANGELINE

We only need 42 more Facebook shares to unlock Evangeline :) If you've not already done so please share the video at this link and get Eva into the action, kicking butt where she belongs!

.

Cheers :)

Guards & Gangs and social media :)
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Dec 07, 2017 at 08:28:49 AM

We've now posted a new add-on for those who like as much cannon fodder in play as possible! 

The Guards and Gangers pack has two unique Galactic Guards and two gang members ready to make your traders lives more difficult! If you want this pack just add £16 to your pledge :)

.

FACEBOOK STRETCH GOAL!

We're now doing our first (ever) social media stretch goal :) All you need to do is click the Facebook link below then share the post it takes you to:

https://www.facebook.com/242636009156445/videos/1565858710167495/?hc_ref=ARTHV_Dg5rOL-HaumgZsdwNO5uC45D7NmBrNb1DfHx-IGiZ4cp7oY8nQ3rPvG9-_Cos&fref=nf

When the video has reached 250 shares we will unlock Evangeline, the fourth member of Zed's crew. It's already at 72 shares so we are on our way already :)

EVANGELINE

Evangeline is a hired killer with a talent for violence. Her cold exterior and expert fighting style belies the raging torrent inside of her. 

.

Although technically Zed's bodyguard she cares only for the turmoil and chaos that his association brings. She watches from the fringes and strikes when the urge takes her. Even amongst the mad men of Zed's crew she is extremely dangerous - deep down she cares nothing for sex or power or money, she cares only for violence.

.

When unlocked Evangeline will be FREE to all core backers and will also be available as part of the Zed's Crew add-on.

Cheers :)

Captain Sondar :)
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Dec 07, 2017 at 03:28:07 AM

Stretch goal 19 is now unlocked with the cool girder, airlock and struts making you're terrain 200% more girdery, airlocky and, er, struty.

.

Next up is SG20 with the Event cards and range ruler unlocking at £115K.

.

After that we have a new character, Captain Sondar. Sondar is an Ohrna, a major space faring species who still use Core space travel for their main trade routes. Ohrna are completely unaffected by Core space travel and still see it as a viable option, the only major species who haven't moved wholesale to warp gate technology. 

The species have a unique stance on the universe as in their entirety they are pantheists, they believe they are each a part of the universe and cannot ever truly die, just become another part of the universe. It's so deep in the Orhna consciousness that they were unaware of the concept of religion until they encountered other space faring species. As a species they are utterly fearless and as individuals the more adventurous often come to a sticky end!

Captain Sondar is a dreamer, he sees space travel and the dangerous life of a trader as romantic, his cavalier attitude often causing friction with his crew!

BOARD GAME GEEK

Thanks to all you guys who've given us the thumbs up on the BGG geeklist. We still need a few more to go, if everyone reading this did it we'd be number 1 twice over!

The Poseidon add-on :)
almost 7 years ago – Tue, Dec 05, 2017 at 12:14:59 PM

We've hit stretch goal 18 and we're celebrating by doubling up on the neon :)

.

We also hope to add more signs specifically for stations and the like, things like 'Quarters', 'Medi-bay' etc. Think along the lines of the Vault signs in Fallout 3. We'll cram those into any spare space we get on the sheets so we've no idea how many there'll be but we'll try our hardest :)

Next up is SG19 the big girder, airlock and struts. The airlock can be used as an entry point for a third trader team and the struts add a surprising amount of 3D-yness to the terrain. The girder is of course a big girder it is completely awesome and needs no explanation! SG 19 unlocks at £112K.

.

Then we come to the first of our component stretch goals, SG20 has 5 extra Event cards and a range ruler and unlocks at £115K, more bang for your buck.

.

Finally, the crew of the Poseidon (known to other traders as the 'Ship of Fools') are now available as an add-on. Every core backer gets a free set but we know people always want the ability to get extra. The Poseidon is unlocked now, no waiting.

.

And finally, finally, for those who don't read all the updates (how dare you!) there's also add-on Q available, the Metropolitan pack. Basically, some more civilians for those who like a crowded city street! You can read more about the Metropolitan pack in update #22.

.

Cheers :)
