Latest Updates from Our Project:
Production scheduled for the beginning of June
about 5 years ago

Production status
The factory sent this 7 hours ago:
"our engineer is updating the Eproofs right now with latest patches for each language version, it's not easy and please give us some times in order to avoid further mistakes, our target is send you all updated Eproofs before next Wednesday May.26th."
Once they send us the eproofs, we will check them in two days at most.
When we give them a green light - they start the machines.
The first production boxes are then shipped to us, and we make the final QA before mass production.
Plastic tray issue
As per comment project update 2021-05-15, the factory sent us an email 6 days ago about one of the plastic trays (smallest one). They made some production samples and said that one portion can't be properly vacuumed (the slot is too thin and too deep).
It seems that now they managed to resolve the issue. They sent this 7 hours ago:
"we're revising the mold to increase about 1mm on each side of the wall and also 1mm wider on the problematic slot, this will not affect any to hold all contents and fit well inside the box with other components, we will have a new sample by next Tuesday May.25th and take pictures for your approval before production."
Covers for smaller plastic trays
As per comment project update 2021-05-15, the Chinese publisher suggested producing 2 plastic covers for 2 smaller plastic trays.
Even though the trays are amazing, when you turn the box upside down the small tokens can fall out, and make a mess inside the box. I received a quote for this addition, and I agreed on it.
Think of it as a free gift for your patience.
Add-on production status
The factory sent this 7 hours ago:
"status of add-ons/upgrade pack - we will send you pictures within this week let's say on Saturday when we complete printing process, all stickers for the sleeves and dice vial are ready and I will send pictures to you together on Saturday."
Production update / New rule tablets
over 5 years ago
– Tue, Mar 09, 2021 at 01:04:33 AM
The factory already received our production files for English version of the boxes (Core, From Beyond, To Eternity).
Our publishing partners need more time to deliver their files. Their estimates vary from this week to 3 weeks.
I am now trying to start the production for at least the shared components (things like dice, map tiles, sleeves, and some cardboard components). This could save us precious time while their translators and graphic designers finalize their work.
850 backers are yet to complete their surveys. Orders are locked, and as there is no shop (and it won't be) I hoped to have exact numbers before the production. It's not a problem for 1$ pledges, but there's a lot of backers that pledged for their rewards. Even that wouldn't be a problem, but these are testing times.
Increased raw material prices. Processing charges, and labor costs rising. Freight shipping costs exploded. Logistical bottlenecks around the world. Legal uncertainties regarding Brexit. EU VAT laws. Implications of the rising United States 10-Year Bond Yield!
The end is nigh!
Some might say. But you know better. Things are moving precisely as She willed. Beckon the call.
You! We! The guilty ones that will be rewarded the most. I hope that you are all aware what we are trying to bring forth into this world.
Let us embrace the cracks around us as messengers of Bliss. Beckon the call.
The law
As per your signed contract, you are obliged to observe the law updates as they are published.
Today, in honor of Her, we reveal the new tablets:

Bonus for returning backers
The bonus script has been executed - returning backers received a complimentary credit on their pledge manager accounts in BackerKit.
The credit is applied only to (Core and Premium) backers and late pledges of our 2013 and 2018 campaigns who now ordered a new Core box.
If this applies to you, and you didn’t receive the complimentary credit, send me a Kickstarter message with this data:
which previous campaign you’ve backed,
what email you used for that project,
what email are you using for this project (in BackerKit).
Your orders will be locked on the 1st of February.
Your cards will be charged on the 3rd of February.

Where are we?
There are 6 teams working on the 6 language versions of our game boxes: English, German, French, Spanish, Polish, and Chinese. I do have ongoing communication with all the translators. They are either finished or nearly finished with the translation of the Core and From Beyond content.
Before sending the To Eternity files to the translators, we still need: 1 monster illustration, 4 chapter tile illustrations, and some additional playtesting. All of these things are scheduled to be completed by the end of next week.

When does the production start?
After speaking with the manufacturer, and taking into account the remaining translations for the To Eternity, we are aiming to start production on the 1st of March.
When does the distribution start?
In the latest quote from the manufacturer it says 35-40 days mass production lead time, and the freight time 30-35 days. If we go with the best possible scenario from the quote, it means that we can start with the distribution in the beginning of May.
When we launched the campaign it was a different world. I’m just not convinced; there are a lot of boxes, and the worldwide logistical channels are still bottlenecked. Also, I didn’t dream that She would demand to metastasize in so many tongues. Still, regretfully, I need to push the estimated distribution to July. We will see. I will keep you updated how the things are moving (comment project updates in the Comments section).
For now things are moving dangerously favorable. I couldn’t be more satisfied with how everyone is doing their part in completing this beautiful thing.

Why just not reprint the 2nd edition?
over 5 years ago
– Fri, Dec 04, 2020 at 11:12:27 PM
Now that we are finishing the pre-production copy of the 3rd edition's Core box, I wanted to briefly go over the changes from the previous edition.
The box
new design
height increased by 4cm (1.6inches)
Plastic tray insert
from a cheaply standard tray, we designed a 4 piece solution
tray for tokens while you are playing
tray for standees
tray for player boards, chapter board, map tile, and wood tokens
tray for all the cards (grouped by each type, then additionally split by level / scenario / expansion - where applicable)
tray is designed for sleeved cards, and for both expansions
Shrinkwrapped cards
every deck of cards is carefully ordered (by type, name, level, and scenario where applicable)
chapter cards are ordered in a way for unpack&play (with endgame cards on a specific position)
Learning materials
improved the Manual
Guidebook: added a new booklet that guides new players through first 5 game rounds
Player aid: added 4x leaflets with most important actions and game concepts
Map tiles
Core box has 3 double sided map tiles from the 2nd edition's Premium box
introduced a unique identifier inside the direction symbol
Tokens
Explored tokens renamed to Destroyed tokens
Destroyed/Light tokens reduced by 2mm per each side
Light tokens colors changed to accentuate when being placed on the map tile
Health tokens renamed to Wound tokens
you place Wound tokens only when a monster loses health
Count tokens are on the other side of Wound tokens
Count tokens used to count the counted conditions (and for charges)
visual representation for the lasting effects are improved with the introduction of two icons
Explorer markers are updated to better connect with the lasting effect icons
Card errata (204 cards)
cosmetic changes (12)
swapped color scheme between Bruiser and Gunman to match their auto-equip item type (6)
explicitly stating nearest/any (28)
rewording the text for easier understanding, or for better consistency (63)
added horizontal separator to some chapter cards for their "enters play" abilities (17)
added "Start a new round" on few chapters to better control the flow of the game (4)
updated cards due to new lasting effect icons (72)
tweaking the cards by improving the existing abilities, or with introducing new abilities (38)
Could I have just reprinted the 2nd edition, and just focused on the "To Eternity" box?
Could I have just left Her in that dress as Her final form?
No, I could not have done it. :)
My dear backers, I can't wait to share with you my work of heart.
