Swords & Sails: Print & Play files have been released & distributed
over 5 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 12:00:33 AM

Hi All,

Sorry for the less frequent updates.  I have been very busy trying to complete final digital version of all the game components.  The direct spin-off of this is now the Print & Play version of the game has now been released with final retail version for all digital components.  You should have received an email with the print & play downloads from BackerKit.  If you have not, please message me.  Also if you are only a $1 contributor or a coin only backer and would like to upgrade to the Print & Play level, just PM me and we can make that happen.

Swords & Sails: 3 Days to finalize changes and finish surveys
over 5 years ago – Thu, Sep 20, 2018 at 08:48:27 PM

Hello everyone,

Working hard to get this game made.   Credit Cards will be charged in two days.  I need everyone to decide if they would like the Neoprene upgraded Map and to make sure their surveys are complete.

As an incentive to bring the order count higher for the emperor reward and since the Emperor reward was intended to get everything made to the backer, I have decided to automatically upgrade the Emperor Reward to contain the Neoprene Upgraded Map.   If you already have this as an add on for $9 with the Emperor Reward level, then I will re-credit you the $9.

If you want to upgrade your reward level to the Emperor Level, then you will get all the Minor Factions, the Metal Coins, and the Premium Neoprene 4x3 ft Map.  If you need help upgrading your award level, just message me.

Jason.

Swords&Sails: It's September
over 5 years ago – Tue, Sep 04, 2018 at 04:06:53 PM

Hello Everyone,

it's hard to believe that it is already September.

That means a few things.  First, I really need all the backers who have not done their Survey on BackerKit to complete their Survey as soon as possible.   I need to finalize all the numbers for manufacturing.   

Second, I have added a survey question to allow backers to opt into a Neoprene upgrade for the 4 ft by 3 ft Extra Large Play Map for an additional $9.  If you have already completed your survey, just go back to your items and look for the add on titled: "Upgrade your Extra Large Vinyl Map to Neoprene", which should be grouped with the Map items.   This is the way to upgrade if your Backing level (Duke, King, Emperor) already includes the Vinyl Play Mat.  If you have added on the Vinyl Play Mat, then you can switch the "Add On" to the neoprene Style.  If anyone needs help in getting the Upgrade, I am here to assist, just send me an message, which should include your Kickstarter email.

Next, what about the Print-n-Play delivery?  I have run later than expected in getting all the files for the final version of the Print-n-Play finished.   I wanted to make sure I have all the upgraded artwork, new Minor factions, and final edited rules (which includes the Minor factions) fully complete before I send these out to everyone.  I expect it may take me two more weeks to get everything almost perfect and then I will be delivering the Print-n-Play package.

I want to thank all the backers again as we are working to produce an Epic product.

Jason.

Swords&Sails: Neoprene Extra Large Map 1st proof
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 30, 2018 at 01:50:25 AM

I am still waiting on the edge stitched thicker Neoprene Proof, but this one works pretty well.  The Vinyl Map tends to curl at the edges with the direction of the roll but this neoprene version does not as you can see as it lays pretty heavily.  It is physically allot heavier than the Vinyl Map as well.
