Histories, Preproduction & Exciting Things for the Future
almost 8 years ago – Fri, May 06, 2016 at 09:56:27 PM

HISTORIES

Ok, let's start with something fun. I have attached some pics from the Histories & Timeline Section that was a Stretch Goal from the Campaign. I just can't contain the excitement from these amazing images that our Artist made for us. Each image goes along with the timeline and all of this will be included in the rulebook.

PREPRODUCTION

As for the games progress we should be receiving our PreProduction copies of the game in the next 2-3 weeks (sometimes these things take longer than quoted). Once we get pics of all of the pieces and boards we will definitely show everything off here :)

As for the timeline, until I receive these and make sure everything is ABOVE SUPERB, I will be able to give a more clear answer on actual ship dates.

EXCITING FUTURE & STUFF

Ok here is a couple of things that are pretty exciting. 

1. We have been called to audition for a TV Show! ...Weird right? But hey they think Rivals is pretty cool so maybe other people will to.

2. We have 3 new products coming soon!!!!!! This is probably my favorite part. While Masters of the Deep is in production we are busy creating 3 new things that will allow you to dig deeper into the World of Rivals.

PRODUCT 1

Masters of the Deep Expansion - This one is just a *duh* product. The game is a blast so why not add more fun things to it?

PRODUCT 2

Full Rulebook for TableTop Masters of the Deep - A full table warfare game. If you are into measurements and Eyeballing "Line of Sight" Rules this is definitely for you. We've had alot of you ask for this and since we already have the miniatures being produced this is just another *duh* product. Of course we should make this so we are.

PRODUCT 3

And the last but probably the one we are most excited about....the comic. We are SO excited to immerse everyone in this world and what better way than Graphic Novel form?! Here are some sketches already coming in...

Lastly, but certainly not least we apologize for the slowness of the manufacturing process. This is definitely taking longer than expected. However, money is in place and progress is being made. We can't wait to get everything in your hands.
