It is always our goal to make Warlord the best and most fun-to-play card game out there. After careful deliberation with all tiers of our design process we have decided to issue the following errata, effective May 1st, 2010! (more…)

Summer Campaign: missing my reply?

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I’ve received a comment or two with people stating they didn’t receive the PDF application from me. At this point in time I have replied to every request that I have received. If you still haven’t received a reply from me, email me again or communicate with me through Cardmasters or Temple of Lore private message (GreenDestiny at both forums).

I have currently had requests from five different countries and from mainly the west and east coasts of the US. If you’re somewhere in the middle of the US, it’s time to bother your local organizer about your interest in being part of the Summer Campaign (don’t worry DieCon, you’re covered). Completed applications are due in by April 30.

To receive the PDF application, please write to me at support(at)warlordccg(dot)com.

Announcing Summer Campaign 2010

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Hot on the heels of the Surge of the Sutek comes the Summer Campaign! Scrub the blood off your dice and let battle commence.

PHOENIX Interactive is now taking Calls for Proposals for those tournament organizers who wish to host a Summer Campaign event. To request a CfP, send an email to support(at)warlordccg(dot)com and I’ll email you the pdf with everything you need.

The first place player wins a custom black Warlord d20, while second, third, and fourth place get to take home a custom white Warlord d20. The top four players each receive a copy of Stone Golem, Sea Wasps, and A Time for Heroes. The best of each faction will receive a copy of their respective faction weapon. The kit will also ship with one each of APS 1-12 and two each of APS 13-19 all for use as prizes or sealed events (TO’s choice). Additionally, the kit has a dozen copies each of Mistress Dagani and Imperial Scepter, plus four of the new Overlord kit O2: The Shadow of Wings. Finally, the kit has one additional custom d20, in blue, for the TOs to keep.

Happy warfare!

Mistress Dagani Imperial Scepter

Mistress Dagani and Imperial Scepter will become legal for play on August 5, 2010.

Raiding the US warehouse!

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Surge of the Sutek has begun and Summer Campaign is quickly nearing, but what to do when not playing in one of those? Hold a local tournament!

The North American warehouse has Iron Golem kits and the new OP kits ready to ship. The new OP kit features Nellia Yscar and Blessings of Granite (both becoming legal the day of the first Summer Campaign, once that gets scheduled). The Iron Golem kit features, you guessed it, the Iron Golem. For those with a taste for illegal fun, there are some AEG-era Overlord kits still available: Destiny Qor-Teth, Edric d’Ilchant, and a few Orm al’Ghast decks. If you want the 4E stuff, I urge you to act fast as supplies are limited.

If you’re a tournament organizer looking for any of the above, just email support(at)warlordccg(dot)com with the following data:

Your name
Which club/store you represent
The address to where the kit should be sent
Which kit you seek
Where and when the event will be held

Update to promo legality

Monday, April 12th, 2010

With the first Surge of the Sutek events having come and gone, it was quickly brought to my attention that the legality for the new promos was never finalized and announced. This is being remedied right now, albeit tardy. I give you the latest dates for promo legality:

A Time for Heroes: with Sands (i.e. now)
Baraz: May 2
Blackstone Spaulders: May 2
Hood of Distraction: May 2
Ikzi: May 2
Judge Dacaus: May 2
Moldering Cur: May 2
Scrap Golem: May 2
Sea Wasps: with Sands (i.e. now)
Seleesa: May 2
Sir Valance: May 2
Stone Golem: with Sands (i.e. now)

If I left anything off the list please hollar! Also, just so people understand why it’s happening this way, the promos that were for pre-ordering Sands are becoming legal with Sands and all the remainder are becoming legal the day after the last Surge event in order that all events have the same card pool.

The Shadow of Wings

Friday, April 9th, 2010

The Surge of the Sutek brings the release of the latest Overlord Attack and Drasek the Furious. The new Attack is called O2: The Shadow of Wings, after the following finely crafted story. Enjoy!
 

The Shadow of Wings
by Laurence J Sinclair

The paladin’s expression did not change even as he wrenched his blade from the corpse, striping his face with blood. The speed with which he’d cut down his foe had the gnolls yelping as they dived for cover, but Keziah was more worried by that expression. Most warriors that she knew, had seen, or even heard tell of, showed at least some emotion during battle.

She herself had been attacked by two of the reeking, cackling creatures. It hadn’t been a stretch to duck back from the clumsy sweeps of their hatchets, but the fear had been there. Her loris daggers had killed them, one spinning and slicing a throat, the other stabbing through a chest, but there’d been desperation behind those strikes. Two she could handle, but the score more further up the hill were another matter.

Trouble ordering the Surge of the Sutek kit?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

I’ve had a couple of people write explaining that they are unable to order the Surge of the Sutek kit because of their login privileges at the online store. If you are in this category please email me as soon as possible at Support(at)WarlordCCG(dot)com. There is a solution in place and I will communicate it to all inquirers.
