Warlord 4th Edition CCG - the epic fantasy card game

Hi guys!

I am sure you are eagerly awaiting the new cards. So am I. Here’s what has happened: Due to some miscommunication (wrong template for packaging is one, for example - as this set is printed at a different physical location as  the Treasure Chest, so a different template is used despite the same size packages ) we missed our designated slot at the printers.

For them unfortunately we are a small fish, so some larger companies and magazines are having their stuff printed now, which pushes us back. And back again. I still have not gotten a definite date, but due to the christmas break the printing is definitely going to be pushed back to January 2010. Welcome to the realities of being a small company.

This is not entirely the fault of the printers - some of the delays responsible were on my side - kids sick, myself sick led to things piling up.

I am going to announce some changes for pre-orders soon (after I have coordinated with our new Customer Support Manager - or whatever title fits the new position best), but I don’t want to jump the gun yet. If you trusted us and paid early, we are going to come up with some reward to (at least partly) make up for the increased wait.

As for previews - as far as I am aware off, pretty much all the cards are out there, being spoiled. I have a attached a few of the The Chosen ones that are not out there, and I assume the CSM will complete the last previews.

Why did we do some of those reprints?  For once we wanted the new sets to be playable out of the box - make it easier for new players. That means some of the basic cards have to be included. Secondly it offered an opportunity to fix some of the cards that we didn’t get to earlier (adding the elemental traits was the most common thing we wanted to see added). All in all I believe the Design Team did a great job in offering a great expansion for Warlord!

So, what’s to come in 2010?

New expansions, that’s for sure. Before I announce any schedule (which I proably won’t for some time - I hate the delays as much as you do and feel very, very bad about them), I need to reorganize a few processes and get some of the things promised but not yet kept out of the way). That’s something the new CSM will help with tremendously.

Expect some additional announcements soon!
