April Preview!
🕑 Added 2019-03-19 01:45:10 +0000 UTC[If you are a subscriber before April 1 2019 you will receive this package. It's scheduled to ship before the end of April. We will post updates if there are any delays, but I'm making it my business to make sure there aren't.]
Curious as to what’s coming in April? It includes some things you might know about and one thing that I know you don’t know about. Let’s jump right in.
Chain Mail ($5+ Patrons)
Chain Mail is out and we’re starting to see some reports. It’s so exciting. With that, we’ve been building an FAQ, as well as a clarifications sheet that we’ll get out to everyone. As this gets played, we’ll be answering everything we can. Keep an eye here for the next big Chain Mail post for all of that fun stuff in one place. In the meantime, here's what we're looking at for April.
So what comes in April...? I want to know what doesn't come in April? Haha.
There's a NEW CHARACTER! There's some sweet MONSTERS, a tough MAP, the BLOOD DIAMOND, which gives you a 3rd cube at the cost of health and the QUEST that sends you out looking for the great golden horn. So much is changing every month in Chain Mail.
Hang tight for the next big update on it with the February items coming to dropbox ASAP.
Tempus Quest ($5+ Patrons)
The quest of all time continues with our crew taking on all kinds of dangerous and nefarious work. A little bounty hunting, some heist and some rescue missions.
Episode 0 and 1 are out now and we're seeing some high score sharing and lots of discussion on what time to play. Happy to see the community digging into this!
Area Z ($10+ Patrons)
We have a tiny little area control meets zombie onslaught game from Gabe Barrett (Board Game Design Lab).
You drop into the red zone. You’re immediately surrounded by enemies. Are they human or something else? It doesn’t matter. You’ve brought along enough firepower to secure this area...once and for all.
Take control of a faction of humans battling in an apocalyptic landscape–one overrun with zombies. Can you fend off your opponent’s forces while avoiding the roaming hordes of undead? You better hope so, or you’ll be just another casualty in Area Z.
Antinomy Wallet Game (or your choice from our stock) ($20+ Patrons)
We've talked about Antinomy a bit and the Kickstarter did really well. Well, next month, it's heading your way. Here are a few details on it.
Antinomy is a head to head battle of wits as 2 competing sorcerers search the depths of space and time for powerful Paradox Crystals.
On your turn you will play one relic card from your hand to travel forward or back in time.
- The elemental color or relic symbol will move your sorcerer into the past to a matching color or symbol.
- The number will fly your sorcerer into the future that number of cards.
When you land on a card, you swap it with a card in your hand, allowing you to collect a powerful set of three cards with matching numbers, symbols, or colors... otherwise known as a paradox.
But not all sets are perfect. The codex at the end of the continuum will determine which color paradoxes that can be formed.
Traversing the continuum is no easy task. If you're unable to create a paradox crystal, you could always confront your opponent in a clash and wrest control of a crystal from them.
Collecting 5 of these crystals will ensure your control over space and time.
Do you have what it takes to wield the power of Antinomy?
This will come with the Kickstarter expansion, Solo Flare, a solo ruleset and cards by Mike Mullins.
That's it for April! Once again... too much stuff in one package! Catch up with all of you soon.

Hey Keith, if you joined during February, your first Month would be March. The April game will be Antinomy. When we are ready to ship April, we will ask if anyone wants to change their wallet game. You can swap it then for something else.

Sorry about that, I was going to ask, I think I joined sometime in February ($20 level) but I also backed Antinomy on kickstarter was there a list for April to choose something different? I might have missed it. Thanks

Hi! I have a question related (kind of) to this. I just joined this month at the $20 level (I hadn't heard of Button Shy until a few days ago when someone showed me one of your games, such a neat idea!). So my first package won't be until the May one. Is there any way to buy the previous 4 $20 packages? I am a bit of a completionist...

Perfect. Thank you

As of now, we only have Episodes 2-3 on the store. 1 is sold out, but you can sign up for a "back in stock" notification when we do get more in stock.

Probably the best way to get an answer to rules questions would be on Discord. Here's the link to join: <a href="https://discord.gg/SgtD6xw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/SgtD6xw</a>

Good Afternoon, Is there a way I can purchase chainmail episodes 1-3? And have it shipped as well? I do see the pnp files for it but would like to have the physical cards.

Just a quick question regarding Tempus Quest scoring: I played Episode 0 and the end scoring says to count turns remaining. Do you include the extra slot at the end of the top row (the alarm slot)? I had 4 blank turns left there so I either had 49 or 45 if I didn't count that slot.
Zombie Wizard
So great! I can't wait!
