Explore Mode
This is a fun game mode for veteran players that we didn't manage to squeeze in before printing, but which we'll maybe roll out for future print runs – feel free to use it in any of your Kilforth games:
Setup: Rimeshore Port (or any other City) is in the middle of the Map as normal. The other 24 locations are concealed: shuffle and place them beneath an Explore card (use any playing card) in a stack. Whenever a hero moves/relocates to a concealed location, draw from the base of the stack to reveal the location, and add Resources/Ships/Plots as required. Shortcuts, maps, discovered rewards, finales, Ancient assaults, etc. are unavailable until their relevant locations are revealed. Night cards placed into concealed locations are instead placed in a revealed location, First Hero’s choice.
Veilwraith on BGG podcast + Kreel Manor shout-out!
Check out this excellent BGG Podcast #24: Oldies but Goodies, with @beforeyouplay_ and @candidrum and it just so happens to feature #Veilwraith and #KreelManor :D
Rob's Tabletop World on Hall or Nothing
The legendary Rob Oren of Rob's Tabletop World is soldiering through rough times right now, yet he still has the strength and willpower to post this humbling and thoroughly lovely video about us and our games, particularly #1565StElmosPay 👊
If you missed the whole Kickstarter campaign for #KreelManor The Dungeon Crawl Card Game, you can now grab yourself a late pledge pre-order right here:
Any fans of HeroQuest out there? I developed the solo/coop random dungeons rules for #HeroQuest many years ago, so it's a real delight to see them still being enjoyed by so many – and even getting a shout out on The Dungeon Dive. Past Tristan would be super excited, just like me! :D
And if you're interested, you can download these solo/coop Heroquest rules here:
Call of Kilforth, August 2023 - EU/OZ Freight Shipping Underway + BGG + Call Play-Through + Kreel Manor!

Hello there,
EU and Australia KS shipping update
Australia - Games are already en route to the hub at Aetherworks. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by Aetherworks for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where Aetherworks is up to with their other projects at that time.
EU - The EU shipment has already departed. ETA into EU soil (Germany) is 12th September. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by Intermail for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where Intermail is up to with their other projects at that time.
As always, I implore your continuing patience as we move through fulfilment. My personal feeling is that we ship out games from their respective hubs as soon as is possible for each hub rather than artificially holding up the process so everyone gets their games at a similar time. Over all of our 100% successfully delivered campaigns so far, each hub has had a go at being the first to arrive, so if one hub gets it before the others, no biggie – it just means the rest of us get to watch unboxing videos and read session reports whilst we eagerly wait. :)
Call of Kilforth play-through
Watch as Canje Studios takes us into a play-through of the first Mass Production Copy of the game!
Along the southern fringes of Kilforth, the Ancients finalise their insidious plans and send forth the unstoppable gloom. Heroes and villains take to their ships, boasting loyalties to the imperious Blue Drake Navy or the lawless Sea Dogs. And as ill winds blow through the idyllic tropical archipelago, beneath the cerulean waves, great beings stir...
Hall or Nothing on BGG
We absolutely buzzing about having our games discussed at length on the mighty BGG podcast. The lovely Candice Harris and Rob Oren (Rob’s Tabletop World) bring the goods, talking about all kinds of cool games, and they also had lots of really excellent things to say about us and our games too, particularly 1815, Scum of the Earth! Well worth a listen:
And as if that wasn't awesome enough, Veilwraith is also featured on the following episode with Candice chatting to Monique from Before You Play:

Hello there,
All the games and artbooks have finished printing, yay! :D So here's a...
...Freight Shipping Report By Hub
Asia - Games are already on the way, if not at the warehouse already. Shipping to backers will commence once the hub has cleared down their current projects.
Australia & EU - Games are all ready for collection from the printers, we're just waiting to hear from both of these hubs, but the games should still be on the boats in August.
UK + RoW - The UK shipment is booked aboard a ship leaving China this week. ETA into UK soil is 7th September. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by Gamesquest for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where Gamesquest is up to with their other projects at that time.
US - The US shipment is booked aboard a ship leaving China this week. ETA into US soil is 12th September. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by QML for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where QML is up to with their other projects at that time.
Canada - As per US above, but the Canadian shipment will have to ship up from the US QML hub first, so will likely take a couple of weeks longer.
As always, I implore your continuing patience as we move through fulfilment. My personal feeling is that we ship out games from their respective hubs as soon as is possible for each hub rather than artificially holding up the process so everyone gets their games at a similar time. Over all of our 100% successfully delivered campaigns so far, each hub has had a go at being the first to arrive, so if one hub gets it before the others, no biggie – it just means the rest of us get to watch unboxing videos and read session reports whilst we eagerly wait. :)
Last Chance for Add-Ons!
Please note: thefollowing is no longer an option for ordersfrom the Asia hub sincefulfilment is imminent...
As freight shipping is commencing, this is now your very last chance to add on anything you might have missed – like the miniatures or artbook/promo cards – to your order in the same shipment. Any future orders will have to have shipping paid for separately. So have a last peek at what's available at our shop link below, and if you see something you like, please email [email protected] and we'll see about adding it to your order (as long as it's still available at your hub):

Hello there,
Before we begin, for the avoidance of doubt I'll just clarify once again that the Art of Kilforth Artbook is printing alongside Call of Kilforth and its various expansions, so they'll all be shipping out together – basically, the Art of Kilforth Artbook is an add-on to the Call of Kilforth campaign. Just in case you wondered why these updates sometimes feature the Art of Kilforth Artbook. ;)
Call of Kilforth Unboxing Video!
We're dead excited to unbox the very first Call of Kilforth Mass Production Copy! This is the copy you will be receiving if you backed or pre-ordered the game. And if you didn't, there's still time – just click the link in the description. With the delivery of this MPC, completion of the games and artbooks is going to happen in the next few weeks. Then we just have freight shipping from China, and then it's fulfilment to you guys – I hope you're as excited as I am! :D
They just keep on coming – peeps cannot get enough of Kilforth! :D Let us know if we missed any, we're always happy to share quality Kilforth-related content.

Hall or Nothing Getting the Shout-outs!
It's really cool noseying at all the awesome upcoming games following UK Games Expo, and even lovelier to see our games getting shout-outs from lovely content providers, such as Not Bored Gaming and NinjaGeek Games...
'Wonderful, wonderful card-based games... Always a pleasure to speak with Tristan, he's one of the nicest guys in the industry' – Mark Dainty is one of the nicest guys on YouTube, so this must be true! :D
Finally, we're gearing up for the imminent launch of our next game Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game. It delivers an exciting new game system based on Veilwraith but introducing all new loot elements and plot twists. Kreel Manor is highly focussed on sending you through epic card-based dungeon crawls into the shadiest parts of Kilforth. We hope you'll join us on our next exciting journey, and as always, if you'd rather wait until Call of Kilforth delivers first, that's cool too.
Have a ruddy brilliant week – I'm off to check about a million game components, and then sit down and play some beautiful Call of Kilforth! :D
Cheer-oh,
Tristan xx
Call of Kilforth, June 2023 - UKGE + Printing + Videos + Kreel Manor!

Hello there,
I hope this missive finds you safe, well, and about to embark on a weekend of epic board games – this update is gonna be image heavy, so buckle in...
Printing Is Well Underway!
The mass production copies are rolling! We have some cool photos from the factory to share with you below. The first mass production copy – this is the same as the version that you will receive – will be sent to me in the next few weeks for a final check-over as one last layer of quality assurance. We've already lined up all of our fulfilment hubs in preparation, so freight shipping should proceed smoothly once manufacturing is complete.
UK Games Expo 2023!
What a lovely, lovely weekend! Thanks so much to everyone who came to visit our stand, it was an honour and a delight to speak to so many witty, friendly, and brilliant people, and be able to chat about my games and show off Call of Kilforth and the Art of Kilforth Artbook. My voice still hasn't quite recovered, much to the relief to my family, and though conventions like this can really take it out of you, it was worth every blooming second. We had a good chunk of our Hall or Nothing catalogue available for sale (catalogue! it doesn't seem like two minutes since we first launched Gloom of Kilforth!) – though most of that stock has gone now – and it was a terrific opportunity to greet so many gamers we know and love, and so many more who had never heard of us before. So this is yet another reminder for you to please spread the word about lil' ole Hall or Nothing and rate our games on boardgamegeek if you have the opportunity. :D Check out this wicked vid Francesca made of the stand coming together (to the sublime Gunship's Ghost):
The lovely Canje Studios AKA Derrick Daniel visited us all the way from the US
The mighty lifeform that is Mark Chaplin paid us a visit too!
See you next time, when we'll do it all over again!
Gloom of Kilforth Top 10!
Always lovely to see GloomOfKilforth feature in Top 10 lists – this one is from the mighty and mighty lovely Adam Smith of Rolling Solo Board Game Community:
And here is the charming Canje Studios AKA Derrick Daniel giving us an epic play-through of Gloom of Kilforth, this time against the tragic Abbess of Penance – and as Dan Roberts says 'Derrick and Kilforth go together like peanut butter and jelly'! :D
And that's all for now – all that remains is to say have a lovely, lovely weekend, and to strap in and stay tuned for our next launch for Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game!
