Hello my friends! It’s Friday, but not the “next Friday” from the last update but the Friday AFTER that Friday. Apparently, I have switched to every other week for these updates, unless I haven’t… who the hell knows? Certainly not me.
Ok, it really depends on what’s going on. It’s sort of a lull as we make a METRIC FUCKING TON of new ESW stuff… seriously, the amount of shit we have made is crazy.
So you may have seen we did a Kickstarter update to let everyone know that the FIRST Epic Spell Wars ANNIHILAGEDDON playmat is back in stock. Technically, it was sort of a Gen Con exclusive, but we made so few of them and we have had so many requests for it that we decided to print a few more. These are VERY nice quality and I think you will love them. It’s funny: I like doing exclusive stuff for the conventions… it’s exciting and people get all amped. But disenfranchising the people that can’t make it to the show sucks. I think I have a good plan for this moving forward and next year’s Gen Con will be the first test…
Hey kids, let’s look at a couple more cards from the next ESW game!
Hurray! *kids cheering*
As you can see, we did a little SATANIC glow up on the old Limp Wand… it’s now the BURNING Limp Wand… ouch I hate it when I get that burning sensation. The cool part is the ability to destroy these bad boys at will. Sure, it’s a bit painful, but man is it worth it! This also ties into the UTTER BRUTALITY of Satanic Panic. I mean, this is the MOST brutal version of the game we will probably ever make. At least you get a shot at a bit of relief over at the old Freaky Fruit Stand!
That’s right, your fruity pals are back and ready to give you a mouthful of their sweet, sweet juice! Boy, I love the larger Epic Spell Wars world and growing the number of times our crazy shit lives in the stuff we do.
I appreciated the comments last week, and I for sure read EVERYTHING posted about ESW, from the comments here to ALL the forum post to the stuff written on the KS page and BGG. I like the idea of sharing some of the story stuff behind the characters… that could be fun!
Also, an update on the Fan Club mailer: Sadly, we got twisted around ordering stuff and the change in the timing of the KS also impacted the mailer. I have a gift I REALLY want to hit during the KS, so it means I have to make something to take its place. The October KS is going out on Monday, then the November KS will be going out last week of November (if I am lucky). BUT I will say the gift for the November mailer is pretty awesome. October on the other hand is a solid B… probably won’t do that one again. Listen, it’s not easy coming up with fun flat custom shit for these mailers! Coasters, air fresheners… AMAZING. But they can’t all be winners. Boy, I will need to make it clear next year’s FFF will be a lot of the same types of stuff, just different versions of it. Seriously, if you have any amazing flat customizable ideas feel free to drop them in the comments.
Love, Cory!
Some kind of pop-up card that makes something weird while you play? Like the standees but you can fold it.
Maybe a pop-up limp wand that goes to the last player that has a limp wand in his/her hand and makes that the limp wands got +1 power or something like that… that’s you job not mine!!
I think satanic panic hell themed purple sleeves would be an awesome add-on for annihilageddon 3!
Hi hi,
can you maybe get us the playmat A1 on the coming campaign as an add-on???
specially for us in the EU. So we don’t get a 40$ hit shipment for a playmat we love.
That would be awesome.
Or if anyone is interested in getting it on ebay we may group an order?
plus on the side note, yes get us the studd sleeves as add-on too 😀
cheers
crazy idea: token cards that are the Nacho Chips.
then is someone is traveling with the game, they could just bring cards with and not have to carry extra tokens/3d chips.
Patches are flat and cool collectible and people can add it to their leather or denim jackets.
Can also do post cards, art prints, stamps and book marks. Idk a useless floppy disk too
I’m always hoping for a new champion wizard and their familiar in each mailer. The mailers that don’t have more wizards are the times I sit in a room listening to emo music. Sir Rulean and Scarlet sorcerer my fav mailer so far. Patches, enamel pins, additional cards, newspaper clippings that spell an obscure special message that I wouldn’t understand… you know that sort of stuff.
My suggestions for extra mailer items include:
-Sticker sheets
-Lanyards
-Slap bracelets (very retro)
-Bookmarks
-Patches
-Enamel pins
-Assorted magnets or magnetic bumper stickers (I know you already sent a magnet in the first mailer)
On an unrelated merchandising note, have you considered making blindbox Champion Wizard mini figures? Those would be dope.
