Runes & Regulations Campaign FINAL HOURS!!!!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, May 14, 2019 at 09:37:43 PM

Okay, so I know that by now you are all probably really really tired of hearing from me about Runes & Regulations, but I promise that after this I'll leave you alone!

(Ok, maybe not -- but at least I'll leave you alone about this specifically...)

Anyway, I really wanted to make just one more comprehensive update here about this game for anyone who has been on the fence about backing it because WE'RE NOW OFFICIALLY IN THE FINAL HOURS OF THE CAMPAIGN!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

 .

This is going to be a completely massive update, so I've organized everything into a handy table of contents to help guide you through all of the information.

What You Will Find Below...

  • Photos of the Box & Components
  • Kickstarter Exclusive Items
  • Artwork from the Game
  • Nefarious Neighbor Expansion
  • Unstable Unicorns NSFW Base Game Announcement!
  • Exiled Legends: Earth & Air Expansion Announcement!
  • All Available Add-Ons
  • All Unlocked Stretch Goals
  • Best-Of Social Stretch Goals

Now that you have been prepared, here are all of the great things you'll be missing out on if you don't back this project. :D

1. The game is beautiful. Just look at it!!!

With more components than Unstable Unicorns, Runes & Regulations also has a much bigger box (like, twice as big!!). And early on in the campaign, backers unlocked upgrades like a magnetic closure box and linen-finish cards, so you can rest assured that the quality will be awesome. <3

.

There are also tons of Kickstarter Exclusive game accessory items to go with the game, like play mats and card sleeves. Look how glorious they all look together!!

 .

.

.

2. Speaking of Kickstarter Exclusives...

As always, we have tons of Kickstarter Exclusive items to offer with the game -- stuff you won't be able to get in stores ever again. And two of them are FREE to all backers of our previous campaigns (that's you!).

.

If you back the campaign (even at $1!), you will automatically have these two cards added to your pledge as a thank you for your continuing support. The Unstable Unicorn card is meant to go into your Runes & Regulations game, while the Creature Master Unicorn is playable with your Unstable Unicorns game.

But there's lots more other than that! Here are all the other exclusive items you'll missing out on if you don't back this game before it's over:

3. By the way, the artwork is adorable! <3

Who could say no to these faces????

.

4. There's already expansion in the works, too! 

In case you missed it, we also already launched a whole expansion for Runes & Regulations called Nefarious Neighbor. This isn't just your run-of-the-mill 54-card expansion, but a full 100+ card deck that introduces 5-8 player support to the game, plus several new mechanics. I might be biased, but I think it's really f***ing cool. 

.

.

Nefarious Neighbor is available as part of the campaign, so make sure to pick up a copy along with your base game! I promise you won't be disappointed.

5. Oh, did I mention that we've also announced A WHOLE NEW UNSTABLE UNICORNS GAME?

That's right! Our brand-new game, Unstable Unicorns: NSFW, is available for the first time ever for pre-order through the Runes & Regulations campaign!  This new version combines all the cards from the NSFW expansion you already know and love with 73 brand-new cards (plus 8 reference cards) to make a complete 135-card game!  It's 100% NSFW, 100% of the time, and we couldn't be more excited. >:D

.

6. Also, a whole new Exiled Legends Expansion. DO WE EVER STOP???

Because we never just work on one thing at once, it just so happens that this campaign is ALSO the first place you'll be able to pre-order Exiled Legends; Earth & Air Expansion! This expansion introduces two new elemental teams to battle -- the Earth team, lead by The Chained Titan, and the Air team, lead by The Sylph Queen. With two new Legends, that means there's room now for up to 7 players in the game, so you can vanquish even more of your enemies (friends?) than before!

 .

7. We've got plenty of other ADD-ONS, of course!!

And I think they're pretty darn awesome, too. (Do you see those magnificent Unstable Games dice!?)

Just as with all the other campaigns, backers in the US get their add-ons with no extra shipping charge, and backers in the rest of the world pay just $5 for as many add-ons as you want! Even if the rest of the campaign isn't your thing, pledging $1 will still get you access to the add-ons store and all of this goodness. <3

.

8. We've unlocked a LOT of stretch goals (but we could use your help to take it all the way!)

We've blasted through tons of stretch goals so far, but if you pledge now, you could help unlock even more of them! We still have a few awesome things waiting to be unlocked, like adding more Dark Runes to the Nefarious Neighbor expansion and another KSE card to add to every base game.

.

9. The community is awesome!

We've gotten so many submissions for social stretch goals and no one's stopping there. And to boot, there are still lots of rewards to be unlocked, like coloring book pages and a FREE Kickstarter Exclusive charm pin for every backer. Take a look at some of our best (and most hilarious) social stretch goal submissions so far!

This campaign has been such an incredible experience so far, and I hope I get to share it with even more of you before it's done forever. Thank you again so much for your support (especially if you made it all the way to the end) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3!!!!

NEW KSE Unstable Unicorns Card revealed (SECRET STRETCH GOAL)
almost 5 years ago – Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 02:33:50 AM

So a lot of people have been asking if it’s possible to make a new Unstable Unicorns card as part of our Runes & Regulations campaign, and we’ve decided to unlock a secret stretch goal!!

Introducing the Kickstarter Exclusive Creature Master Unicorn

This card will be automatically added to pledges of any backers who have backed one of our previous projects if we hit $555,555 on Runes & Regulations!

(You’ll also still get the Kickstarter Exclusive Unstable Unicorn card for your Runes & Regulations game as well)

Also, since I messed up our communication on our Early Bird tiers (my bad, sorry!!!), we’ve reopened them for a bit longer to give people a chance to switch into the right tiers.

Also also, in case you haven’t seen the updates there, we’ve started working on artwork for our new Nefarious Neighbor expansion, which adds corrupted creatures and player roles to the Runes & Regulations game!

Also also also, here are other things! Come join the fun :D :D :D

Runes & Regulations Early Bird Tier FINAL HOURS! (+ A Nefarious Expansion Unlocked!!)
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Apr 20, 2019 at 12:57:02 AM

Note: If you've already backed our new game, Runes & Regulations, then this update is all information you probably already know. I wanted to take the time to speak directly to anyone who hasn't already done so, because there's so much to share about what's happened in the past few days!

First, I'm insanely excited to announce that we've already hit our stretch goal to add a new, massive expansion to Runes & Regulations. It's called the Nefarious Neighbor Expansion, and it introduces some really awesome extended gameplay to the base game. 

Some of the highlights of this expansion are:

  • Support for 5-8 players
  • Player role cards with secret goals that allow you to pull off surprise wins
  • A standalone deck for the player who draws the role of the Nefarious Neighbor, including new Corrupted Creatures, Curses, and Dark Runes

Runes & Regulations is a really fun and interactive game on its own, but getting the opportunity to work on this expansion has been a dream in and of itself, and we're still hitting more stretch goals to make it even bigger and better! There are also new tiers that have opened up which bundle this expansion along with the base game and lots of other awesome stuff. If this sounds interesting to you, make sure you go over and take a peek at what's available. :D

Speaking of tiers, I want to also note that time is about to run out on our Early Bird rewards!

If you back any of our Runes & Regulations Early Bird tiers before April 20th at 11:59 PM MDT, you'll get a Kickstarter Exclusive Stunning Kitsune Charm Pin added to your pledge as a thank you for being an early supporter! 

And did I mention that anyone who backed this project will also get a Kickstarter Exclusive Unstable Unicorn card to add to their Runes & Regulation base game? 

Because you do. Just saying.

Make sure you get in on the action while you still can!

P.S. On a different note, if you still happen to be experiencing any issues with the pledge rewards you received (or should have received) from this campaign, please reach out to [email protected] and they'll make sure that you're taken care of right away!

NEW PROJECT LIVE! Runes & Regulations: A Game of Suburban Sorcery
almost 5 years ago – Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 02:26:15 AM

I’m panicking a little right now. Maybe this happens every time we launch a new game, but then I forget about the panic and move to excitement after the launch happens. But right now it feels like launching a project for the first time all over again. We’ve been working on this project for a very long time, and I’m revealing it to the world for the first time and I so hope you’ll like it.

Well, here goes nothing…

WELCOME TO RUNES & REGULATIONS! In this game, you are a sorcerer in suburbia summoning mythical creatures onto your lawn and disturbing your neighbors in the process. 

During our last Kickstarter, I sent out a poll asking our community about their favorite mythical creatures and got thousands of responses, and we did our best to include lots of those favorites in this brand new game.  That means the usual heavy hitters, like Dragons and Griffins, as well as a lot of other fun creatures (like a Hippocamp, a Kitsune, and a Kraken). And, of course, there are a few Unicorns too!

If you’re receiving this, you obviously also backed one of our previous projects, and we created a special card that will be automatically added to your pledge if you back Runes & Regulations! (Plus, there are other KS exclusive things with this project, including an early bird special if you back within the next 3 days!)

Like last time, we’ll also be doing lots of live drawing events where we do things like draw you as a sorcerer, turn photos of your pets into mythical creatures, and creating new creatures and artwork for the game :D

This year we were so proud to win the 2019 Toy of the Year People’s Choice Award for Unstable Unicorns. I know a lot of you voted to help make that happen for us, and I can’t thank you enough for that. That also means the bar is higher now, and I hope you’ll feel we delivered with this new game. Despite my panic, though, I really believe in what we created, and I hope you’ll join us on this new 30-day adventure. It will be full of exciting stuff :D  See you there?

<3 <3 <3

Me right now:

A GOOD NEWS shipping update (with PHOTOS) :D :D
about 5 years ago – Sat, Mar 23, 2019 at 02:07:23 AM

It’s time for some good news!

By end of day today:

  • ALL EU March orders will have been shipped
  • ALL Rest of World March orders will have been shipped
  • Over 80% of US March orders will have been shipped (the rest will be completed on Monday)

Once those are done, we will begin fulfilling the April orders as fast as possible.

Please note that our system doesn’t talk directly to BackerKit, so there’s often a 1-2 day delay before shipping confirmations get updated/sent out (but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been shipped).

Our fulfillment team has been working their asses off to try to make it possible to come as close as possible to meeting all of our campaign timelines and promises despite the unfortunate delays that happened in production. They have been a dream team (because they are literally making all of our dreams come true right now).

Here are some photos of what our warehouse has looked like over the past couple of weeks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first packages have started to arrive- SO EXCITING!!!! If yours hasn’t arrived yet, it is coming very soon…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and one more thing... remember the teaser from the last update? Well, let’s just say mark your calendar for April 16 around noon CST plz. For no particular reason, of course. It’s not like I’m dying inside holding back a huge secret about a new game that I am so excited about I can’t even handle it or anything. Nope. Not at all. I’m not rambling. Who said that?
