Adventure Time Card Wars 10th Anniversary

Eprints Approved! FINAL 48 HOURS: Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game on Kickstarter!
over 2 years ago – Mon, May 13, 2024 at 08:39:04 AM

Adventure Time fans,

We continue to make forward progress on getting everything from the Adventure Time Card Wars 10th Anniversary Kickstarter finished, so we can get it all to you in just a few months. We have now approved all eproofs from the factory. The way it works: After we deliver our final files to the factory, the factory provides PDFs to show us everything they are printing and how they have it set up. We double check everything to make sure every component is accounted for and in the correct quantities. In particular, for cards, they send us PDFs of how the cards will be printed. As an example, here’s one:

What’s next? Physical proofs! We expect those in just a few weeks and we’ll be sharing LOTS of photos with you.

Join the Adventure… Before It’s Too Late!

Do you love Adventure Time? We know you do! Join the Kickstarter for Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game (link here) before it’s too late. We have made it to $1 million in pledges, over 5,000 backers, and more than 35 stretch goals. A lot of you have joined the campaign, but we’d love even more of you to join for the big finish, including a mysterious final set of dice. And if you want to go all in, we’ve added the All-in Apple Slaps Tier!

Thanks!

Off to Print We Go!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Apr 08, 2024 at 12:08:12 PM

Adventure Time fans,

Some good news to start the week: We have gone to print! We finished a bit later than expected, because of all the extra time we took editing and making sure everything was as good as it could be. But we think it was worth it. We also think we’ll still be able to hit our estimated September fulfillment.

Next steps: We will be getting digital proofs from the factory in the weeks to come. Then we’ll get physical proofs that we will share (via photos) with all of you!

In a bit of news: For the Ultimate Collection, we ended up doing a regular rulebook AND a Deck Breakdown & Card Clarification Booklet. It seemed like a nice way to split things and we think the additional booklet will be a handy reference so you can check all the cards that go in each deck and get additional explanations of some cards. Here’s a peek at the cover!

Before we go: If you’re missing Adventure Time Kickstarters, we have another one coming! Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game is coming to Kickstarter very soon. Sign up at this link to be notified when we launch!

Thanks for your support,

The Cryptozoic Team

Finishing Touches
over 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 10:43:55 AM

Adventure Time fans,

Since our last update, the pledge manager deadline has passed. However, some of you still have not completed your surveys or have credit cards that have failed, so please make sure everything is good to go before we finalize our manufacturing quantities very soon. (BackerKit instructions are in the below section for those who still need them.)

In terms of everything going to print, we are close! We are spending extra time because of YOU. The support for the campaign was overwhelming and totally amazing. So we want to make everything is as good as possible and you’re happy with the final product. 

With more than 800 cards created over a decade, it took our team a long time to go through it all and make sure everything lined up very well across all the cards. That meant adjusting wording, formatting, capitalization, and adding all the extras from the campaign (hero icons, new NiceLands frames). But all cards are now final! Let’s show just a couple of the updated cards.

What’s still being finalized: The rulebooks and the RPG module. We are about two weeks away from having everything to the factory. We are still on schedule for fulfillment in August, but we’ll let you know if anything changes.

In terms of work on the games, we’ve been spending LOTS of time playtesting the new cards and making necessary adjustments. We have also been working with a very talented editor to go through ALL the Adventure Time Card Wars cards to give them some additional polish; we are not updating any of the gameplay on the old cards, but we are making sure the wording aligns better across all the different decks. We are also working on cleaning up the rulebooks that will be included with the Ultimate Collection and Doubles Tournament boxes. It’s taking a little longer than expected since we’re really getting into all the details, but we don’t expect any delays in terms of our fulfillment date.

Something fun to share: We received a factory white box sample of the Collector’s Storage Box! It’s what it sounds like: a white box without any printing on it so we can check the sizing and the interior. The final box size is 14.4” x 16.8” x 5”!

Here’s a rundown of what it can hold:

Each of the three rows can hold EITHER:

• 325 sleeved cards
• 650 non-sleeved cards
• 6 tuck boxes
• 3 Booster Collection boxes

Each square row holds EITHER:

• 400 sleeved cards
• 800 non-sleeved cards
• 110 Landscape tiles

Totals: 

• 4 rows = 1,300 sleeved cards (2,600 non-sleeved)
• 2 square rows = 800 sleeved cards (1,600 non-sleeved)
• Grand total cards = 2,200 sleeved (4,200 non-sleeved)

It’s ultimately up to you how you organize your boxes, but below are a few photos and a diagram of how our lead game designer would consider organizing his box in terms of cards, Landscape tiles, and tokens.

Thanks for backing!
