Maxim #1: $64,000 - Home Stretch

Update #11 · Dec 16, 2011 · 4 comments

Maxim 1 ($64,000)

"Pillage, then burn."

  Sunday is coming.  It'll be bitter but it'll be sweet, so I guess it'll be bittersweet.  Sunday is the end of our KickStarter campaign to bring you Schlock Mercenary and the end of such a great time makes me sad, but it also makes me stellarly happy because after that, I get to nose to the grindstone and create the wonderful files that'll transport the games through the manufacturing process.

  What can we offer such great people that we haven't offered before? We'll be adding 2 items to the reward set for each copy of the game that you have supported.

 - Dice Cup, specifically for Schlock Mercenary fans.  Dark color, logo, maybe a note of encouragement for your dice to roll well.

 - Extra Punchboard: What's a punchboard?  This is the term for the sheet of cardboard with images on both sides that tokens come from.  This punch board will have extra tokens, characters, NPCs, etc.  There may not be rules for these little guys, not as of yet, but they'll be great for making up your own rules and for using with some web released scenarios.  They'll be a preview of future releases, prototype weapons if you will.  More bits (32 if you will).  This is a large item as punchboards are one of the major pieces of this game.  It also means that I get to poke Howard for some extra art pieces, woohoo.

Before we go further, we want to send our thanks to all of our supporters.  Howard loves what he does and I'm in love with what I'm trying to build.  I know Kevin is enjoying life as a game designer.  It is because of you that we can follow our dreams and bring others a bit of happiness.

      I'm amazed and pleased to see the project bust all the goalposts like this, and I'm excited to see what the product of your imagination, talent, and hard work in the next few months looks like.

      It has really been fun watching this project come together. I'm glad that I could be a small part of it!
