Call of Kilforth, July 2023 - Call of Kilforth MPC Unboxing + Videos + Kreel Manor!
9 months ago – Thu, Jul 06, 2023 at 06:11:54 AM

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

Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game

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.

Cheer-oh,

Call of Kilforth, June 2023 - UKGE + Printing + Videos + Kreel Manor!
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 09, 2023 at 03:00:21 PM

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 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 Gloom Of Kilforth feature in Top 10 lists – this one is from the mighty and mighty lovely Adam Smith of Rolling Solo Board Game Community:

Call of Kilforth was also on Tom Heath/Slickerdrips' wishlist for UKGE:

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SycLAkX5vL4&t=04m51s 

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!

Call of Kilforth, May 2023 - Printing, Surveys + Videos from Ricky Royal and One Stop!
11 months ago – Mon, May 15, 2023 at 06:07:38 AM

Hello there,

I hope you're having a brilliant start to the week!

Progress!

Here are the TLDR bullet points on our current progress:

  • Printing is underway and the factory will send me the first Mass Production Copy for inspection next month (this is identical to what you will be receiving)
  • Manufacturing is estimated to complete in July, so we can expect the games and artbooks to start landing at fulfilment hubs worldwide in August

Surveys are locked and loaded so we're all set and hurtling towards that summer shipping. If you're one of the few who still haven't completed your survey: I urge you to do so asap as it would be such a shame to miss out on the amazing world of Kilforth, and as our returning backers will attest, our products tend to sell through very quickly once they've landed. If you're having any payment issues or anything, as always, please contact us directly: [email protected]

Photos!

Whilst you're waiting for this beautiful beast to arrive, here are some photos of the pre-production copy to salivate over in the meantime:

Videos!

We also have brilliant video content for you today – since the pre-production copy has already arrived, the legendary Ricky Royal has delivered an awesome play-through series for Call of Kilforth for us all...

Call of Kilforth - Part 1 - Overview and Gameplay

The legend that is Ricky Royal gets his teeth into the very first copy of Call of Kilforth in this exclusive play-through video series:

Shadows of Kilforth | Scion of Sorrow | Playthrough With Colin

And the mighty One Stop Co-op Shop dives back into Shadows of Kilforth in this  play-through... 'Can't believe how much fun I had with this one! Why don't I play this more often??' – Colin

UK Games Expo!

Fri, 2 Jun 2023 – Sun, 4 Jun 2023 sees the UK's answer to GenCon take place, and we will be there in our usual spot at Stand 1-1016 offering a welcoming smile and fist bump to any and all-comers. We might have have some special UKGE offers, so be sure to pop by the stand and say hello if you're coming.

And that's all for now, have a bloomin' fantastic week – and let our very own Francesca L Hall play you out with yet another sumptuous suite of music from the world of Kilforth, along with a visual reminder of the gorgeous images you'll be seeing if you opted for the exclusive Art of Kilforth Artbook...

Cheers!

Call of Kilforth April 2023 - Pre-Production Copies arrived! Files are submitted!
12 months ago – Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at 06:42:48 AM

Hello there,

Pre-Production Copies arrived! Final files are submitted!

Yes indeedy, the PPCs arrived! We've been through every single bloomin' card (and there are a LOT of cards) and about a novella's worth of flavour text, scouring for typos, and going over every single ability and bit of game text to try to make everything as clear and as cool and as smooth as possible. And now the final files have been approved and submitted for print. The factory is aiming to commence production ASAP.  We're waiting for a more concrete completion date and we will keep you posted, naturally, but for now we are still on track for delivery to you guys this summer.

I'm not saying it's the most gorgeous game we've created yet, but it's definitively the most gorgeous game we've created yet! :D I had the choice to either send our one precious copy of the game away for a photo shoot to share some beautiful pics with you, or to have a certain awesome YouTube legend record a play of the game for you to enjoy instead. Absent those beautiful pics, you'll have to guess which choice I opted for! :P 

Artbook + Shattered Veil Promos – Pre-Orders Now Open!

If you missed our Art of Kilforth campaign, you can late pledge for anything and everything that we still have available at the link below. This is also a great opportunity to pick up any of our other games or expansions – including the award-winning Veilwraith – that you might have missed from most of our other campaigns too:

https://art-of-kilforth-artbook-and-gloom-of-kilforth-reprints.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

And as always, when they're gone, they're gone – so please don't be one of those peeps who always emails us requesting a game or expansion immediately after we run out of stock! :D

Gloom of Kilforth Play-Through Video

So I'll leave you with this video from the lovely @SoloPlaythrus who solo plays-through Gloom Of Kilforth – 'I've played this a dozen times already' – check it out here:

And that's all for now, have a fantastic weekend! And to play you out on the way, here's our resident composer and piano virtuoso, Francesca Hall, with one of our favourite compositions, the highly appropriate Waves:

Cheers,

Call of Kilforth, March 2023 – Waiting for PPCs + Artbook FINAL HOURS + Kilforth Videos!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 27, 2023 at 03:16:23 AM

Hello there,

I'm sending this update slightly earlier for a couple of reasons: a) the Pre-Production Copies are due to arrive with me on March 5th, so that will be super exciting, and b) also increeeeedibly exciting is this...

ART OF KILFORTH ARTBOOK FINAL HOURS! 

The Art of Kilforth Artbook & Kilforth Game Reprints campaign is a Project Kickstarter Loves – and it's already drawing to a close. It's the last 48 HOURS for the Art of Kilforth Artbook and we are nearly 900% funded!!

If these Art of Kilforth Artbooks are anything like our games' playmats they're going to get snaffled up and disappear quickly after fulfilment, and because they're not going to retail this is your last opportunity to pick up this stunning hardbound artbook AND the Kickstarter exclusive Shattered Veil promo cards (for use in the three Kilforth games) at an insane £10 discount. It's also a superb opportunity to add a bunch of Hall or Nothing gaming goodies, including our other games, to your Call of Kilforth pledge, because yes, we can combine the Artbook Kickstarter with your Call pledge too. :)

Pledge now to get them before time runs out, and have a bloomin' brilliant week either way!

Click here to pledge now!

Canje teaches the Gloom!

The one and only Canje Teaches How to Play Gloom of Kilforth:

Canje plays the Shadows

Two quality videos for the price of one! :D

And that's all for now, cheers!
