Hello there,
This is just a super quick message to say that I've had a few messages from people wanting the pledge manager open a little longer so this is just a note to say that we'll keep it open for you until April 1st instead of March 1st. If you need more time than this, just PM me and we'll work something out. :)
Cheers!

Hello there,
I hope this missive finds you in a great mood because we have great news...
BackerKit Pledge Manager is open!
After a successful smoke test yesterday the BackerKit pledge manager is now live. Everyone has been sent an invite, so please check your junk mail. If you haven't received your invite for some reason, simply use the following link to retrieve it:
FYI, the invite says "It’s time to fill in your pledge manager for 1815, Scum of the Earth"! Apologies for the mix-up, the invite should of course say "It’s time to fill in your pledge manager for Callof Kilforth." That said, you can add 1815, Scum of the Earth to your pledge if you wish...
What's on offer?
Everything currently available for Kilforth is accessible to order, including limited stocks of the Dark alternative art packs for Gloom and Shadows, and you can add to your pledge as many items as you wish. We're also reprinting most of our back catalogue of games, so if you haven't already, this is a fantastic opportunity to pre-order any of our award-winning solo-friendly Historic Epic Battle System card games...
1066, Tears to Many Mothers: The Battle of Hastings Card Game
The epic Battle of Hastings 1066, with every gorgeous card based on an actual person or event!
1565, St. Elmo's Pay: The Great Siege of Malta Card Game
Build armies to destroy your enemies in this stunning recreation of 'The Greatest Siege in History.'
1815, Scum of the Earth: The Battle of Waterloo Card Game
Deploy troops and overcome historical objectives to smash your opponent into mud at the legendary Battle of Waterloo in this 1-2 player non-collectable card game – the third in the award-winning Historic Epic Battle System series of historical card games from Hall or Nothing.
Or to find out what happens after the world of Kilforth is destroyed, discover the ethereal monochromatic beauty of our solo campaign game Veilwraith, which won Tabletop Gaming Magazine's coveted Must Play award.
Gloom of Kilforth Promo Pack 2
We've also added the Gloom of Kilforth Promo Pack 2, which contains the 3 Scum of Kilforth promo cards from 1815, Scum of the Earth, the Goodwife alternative art card, and the Lifeform promo card. Note that this promo pack is not included with any pledge levels.
And that's all for now, comment below if you have any questions or contact us directly ([email protected]) if you have any issues, and most importantly – have a brilliant week!

Call of Kilforth, January 2022 – What's Next?
about 4 years ago
– Mon, Jan 10, 2022 at 08:40:09 PM
Hello there,
What a fantastic finish!!
Thanks again so much for making this the most successful Hall or Nothing Kickstarter yet, we are absolutely delighted that 2,187 backers pledged £239,993 to breathe life into Call of Kilforth! :D
So what happens next? BackerKit Pledge Manager...
It's going to take Kickstarter about a month to send the final data through to us, then we can set up the pledge manager with BackerKit. As with all Hall or Nothing campaigns, I'm going to post monthly progress updates here via Kickstarter, right up until the point when you receive your games. Hopefully the next update will be about access to the pledge manager. Once we have all of your pledges ironed out we can work out the numbers with the factories and get moving with the rest of the project.
When the pledge manager launches it really helps us – and you – if you can fill out your pledge manager details as soon as possible! If you're having any trouble at all just contact either myself or Francesca directly and we will help you out.
What if you missed the campaign and want to late pledge?
Judging by the many emails and messages we've received since midnight, don't worry, you're not alone! And it's not too late for you either: yes, you can late pledge once the pledge manager launches. We'll keep the mahoosive Kickstarter discounts running for at least another month from the pledge manager's opening, and whatever stock is remaining after that will be made available at normal RRP via the pledge manager and our website.
Have a brilliant 2022!
And that's it for now folks, thank you for making this such an incredible start to the year for us. We'll keep beavering away in the background and bashing this game into tiptop shape. Our previous game, the historical Napoleonic epic 1815, Scum of the Earth: The Battle of Waterloo Card Game is printing now and will be delivered later this year alongside our other history games and reprints of our solo end of world game Veilwraith. Later this year, our next Kickstarter Kreel Manor (full colour fantasy prequel to the fiendishly addictive Veilwraith) will be launching. And as mentioned, you'll be getting monthly updates on our progress with Call of Kilforth.
And so I wish you all the joy and happiness that the best fantasy adventure games can bring, and that a million brilliant things happen to you over the course of this coming year.
Cheers!

Call of Kilforth, Final Hours!! Playmats, sleeves, promos, Call of Kilforth as Numero Uno!
about 4 years ago
– Thu, Jan 06, 2022 at 11:48:22 PM
Hello there and Happy New Year!!
An Epic Hall or Nothing Milestone!
We've smashed an epic Hall or Nothing milestone - £217,650 pledged of £10,000 goal 1,921 backers 30 hours to go - this means Call of Kilforth is now officially our most successful Kickstarter ever!! Thank you everyone so much for guiding us this far into the uncharted waters of Kilforth, I can't wait to see where we finish!
To show our earnest appreciation for how far you've brought us, we're going to make the Call of Kilforth playmats double-sided. The reverse side will now feature this artwork from Gloom of Kilforth (it can still be used for Call of Kilforth too, you just place the Ocean deck over the Badlands spot):
Top 3 Solo Games Crowdfunding Right Now!
And guess which game is number 1! :D
Card Sleeves?
I tend to only sleeve card games that have poor card quality so that they don't wear during play, and the Kilforth card quality is so good that we've never felt the need to offer sleeves before. That said, drinks spillages and all manner of untold calamities can occur, and I've seen numerous requests for sleeves, so we're looking into options now with the printers for offering them as an add-on. No promises, and we won't be able to add them to this Kickstarter campaign, but I'll let you know if we're able to add them to the pledge manager. :)
There have also been numerous requests for the Lifeform and Scum of the Earth Kilforth promos – the Scum of the Earth promos didn't even exist at the time we were putting the Call of Kilforth Kickstarter together, but now that they do... Well... Keep your eyes peeled when we launch the pledge manager... ;)
Thanks for sailing with us this far, we have mere hours now until we reach our final destination and turn our eyes to the bright sun rising once more to repel the gloom from Kilforth's fair shores...
