Trench Crusade: Kickstarter-Update

Es gibt ein neues Update zur Auslieferung von Trench Crusade.

A tome of heretical proportions (and the obligatory shipping update)

Greetings Crusaders,

We have a lot to talk about today concerning the rulebook. But, first of all, an update on shipping:

Miniatures

Things continue to progress well. Iron Sultanate players rejoice, your rewards are now being sent too. Casual soup enjoyers, yours won’t be too far behind either!

In terms of pure numbers, S3D plans on hitting around 8-9k total physical orders shipped (out of 12k) by the end of the month. So Heresiarch and Beast backers as well as those who ordered things like mercenaries and terrain, you don’t have too much longer to wait either! We’re still on track to fulfil the lion’s share of orders by the end of next month. Once again a big thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding. Everyone should be in the trenches by the summer!

Assistance

As always should you have any issues with your order, contact S3D and they will get you sorted: hello@3dcltd.com. As a reminder we did a quick guide on how to quickly fix small issues like bent parts or remaining supports in a previous update.

The Dice

Some dice sets have already started arriving. If you haven’t been contacted by the folks at BoD or if there’s an issue with your order, contact them at Support@baronofdice.com.

The Book

We’ll get straight to the point here: the book is going to be late. We originally planned for it to deliver late next month but now we expect it to be August and possibly slipping into September for the tail end of things. The reason? It simply needs a bit more time. We’re currently in the final stages but don’t want to rush things.

Disappointing news, we know. We’re not happy about it either BUT there are good reasons for the delay:

Much more book for your buck

The pagecount, originally planned to be around 210 pages on the KS page, is now pushing 300. Given the success of the campaign we allowed oursrlves some extra leeway in terms of both art and lore… Ok, it was a lot more leeway actually. We’re talking about much more art as well as lots of expanded lore.

Our book designer Spiridon and Graphic designer Viktor (who hand wrote all the quotes you will see below, the mad lad) have been working overtime to produce a veritable feast for your heretical senses.

The rules. Refined.

As many of you know, Tuomas has teamed up with Andy Chambers and Jervis Johnson to work on future rules for Trench Crusade. Between the three of them they’ve also been going over all the core rules extensively. Not just making minor changes here and there but also improving things like wording and structure. This should ensure an even smoother gaming experience and less ambiguity in certain situations.

License to sin

We’ve also decided to make this version of the book a kickstarter exclusive. We’re adding what’s called an “Indulgence”. You can look it up for all the interesting historical details but the short version is that it was a document that let you lessen the weight of the sins you’ve committed… in exchange for a nice donation to church coffers, of course.

If you liked all of the latin and fancy details that were included on the map, you’re going to love this and it’ll mark your book as something truly special.

So go on, you can sin just a little bit. It’s on us.

—

Once again Crusaders, we regret this extra wait but it will be worth it.

Also, note that this ONLY applies to the delivery of the physical rulebook. The digital version of the official 1.0 Trench Crusade rules will still be made available to everyone by the end of next month so you can crusade whilst the book makes its way to you.

Last thing: If you’re attending UKGE next week, do feel free to stop by and say hi on stand 3A-430!

And with that, I bid you adieu again for now.
