We will be hosting a playtest session, the first of many on Wednesday August 6th at our new weekly Games Night. Held at the Stumble Inn, Long Eaton, Nottingham UK from 7pm till late, we'll have tables for Bolt Action, Kings Of War, Black Powder, Deadzone, DreadBall and X-Wing, plus a variety of board and card games.

Our first playtest session will focus on the core rules and you're welcome to come try it out and let us know what you think.

We should have some new race logo images to show you next week.

Cheers

We have updated our PREFUNDIA page, allowing you to take a look at what we hope to bring to Kickstarter in September. Please take a look and more importantly leave us some feedback as the more info we get from you, our potential backers, the better the final game will be.

I've included a couple of images here, just for a little tease...

Many thanks

The print run of rules leaflets we're using for playtesting have just arrived. Feels great to have these in hand (despite a few typos - but that's why we ordered them now and not after the campaign ended). We'll hand some out at the games club on Wednesday for testing.

We just received the first production samples of the Battlemats - our first stretch goal. These are printed on uncreasable mousemat material and look amazing. If we get funding, our first stretch goal will be to include 2 of these in every Core Set, as well as allow people to buy them separately. We're waiting on another potential suppliers samples to get here from Italy, but are very impressed by these.

We'll be taking these to the club tomorrow night, along with the prototype dice (actual production samples are somewhere mid-atlantic) and the printed rules leaflet for some serious playtesting.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: apologies for the poor picture - that's what happens when you've only a BlackBerry PlayBook.

So we know the quality of the mats, the rules and will soon have samples of the dice. All we need now is some feedback. What are people thinking? Do you like the idea of the game, like the components, think the pledge level is aimed just right/wrong?

Let us know - there's time to make sure we bring you what you want to see, and ensure we get BattleBones funded.

Cheers

Morning everyone,

so today is our first games night. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and rolling some dice. I'll be bringing some green cloths to cover the tables, but haven't been able to get any terrain made. We have one guy bringing some to donate to the club, but if you have any spare bits you no longer need, we would be happy to accept them.

As well as my Russians, Napoleonic British and Forces Of Nature, I'll also be bringing a library of games along for those not into tabletop wargaming: Munchkin, Star Fluxx, Talisman, x-Wing, AHQ, DreadBall and Loka as well as our very own game BattleBones for people to try out.

Feel free to bring any games down you wish to play - I'm sure people will have a go!

Starts at 7pm - see you there.

We had a great first games night with 11 people coming along. It was more meet-and-greet than playing, but we sorted out the kinds of games people want to play as well as gave BattleBones its first ever live playtest session. Feedback was very positive, with just a few minor adjustments to be made.

So what's been happening lately? Well, to be honest not much. Everything is just about ready to go: we have the component suppliers sorted, we have samples in which we can use for gameplay videos and promotional material. We've just got the packaging suppliers sorted as well in the last few days, which is more exciting than it should be, however seeing all the components together for the first time was such a thrill.

What we need is more feedback. We've had over 300 visits to our Prefundia page where we give a rough overview of the campaign and show some of the graphics we'll be using, but feedback is needed. We knew going in it would be harder to get people excited about the game as there are no miniatures in this one, however we are keen to hear what you think, so please either leave a comment here or head over to the Prefundia Page and tell us your thoughts.

Failing that we have a Facebook page, Twitter and website where you can get in touch with us.

We've also updated the webstore, adding in more products as well as new affiliations giving members of Sanctioned Chaos discount codes for any direct purchases from Warbases and Game Sesh. Details on the website.

I'll be updating the Explore Sorroah section of the website this week with more background and a few sneak peaks at artwork we've had commissioned.

Thanks for your support

We're starting to get the artwork in that we had commissioned for BattleBones, and with just over 40 days till our Kickstarter launches we're starting to put out some sneak peaks at the races. The background will be going live just before the campaign begins, but here's a little teaser of our first race - the Dru!

Please check out our Prefundia page for more details (and possibly more sneak peaks...*cough* Skarn *cough*) and let us know what you think either here, on the prefundia page or over on Facebook.

Finished artwork is now coming in, and while we want t keep some for the KS, I wanted to share this piece with you as it shows all the six races of our gameworld. From left to right we have:

SKARN (undead), HANNAN (human), ENOAH (elf), GRETARI, ARRID (dwarf) and DRU (orc). There's going to be background posted d on the website over the next week or so, with more artwork.

Only 27 days till we launch and we wanted to share some of the artwork now as we're really pleased with it.

First we have the Arrid - the Overmasters of Sorroah. Dressed to ward of the chill of the Northern lands, they mine not for gold or precious jewels but for the most valuable commodity: water. Pictured is one of the warriors.


Next we have the Dru. These greenskinned brutes have traded their farming equipment for crude weapons. Their powerful claws grip into the sides of the mountains where they make their homes, using a secretion to fashion their settlements in the high places.


Finally for today we have the humans of the world, the Hannan. Pictured here is one of the Druids who use the old magics to protect themselves against the Arrid.


The initial BattleBones will represent the Hannan, with stretch goals to fund Dice for the other races. I'll post images of the other three races later in the week.

And don't forget to check our Prefundia page, follow it and get some sneak insights.

Cheers

As always, life gets in the way of doing the fun stuff, but I finally have enough time to post some more images of the races of Sorroah.

First are the enigmatic Enoah, a race who live within the marshlands of Sorroah, living off the land and choosing to distance themselves from the other races as much as possible.


Next we have the Gre-Tari or Grotesque as the other races call them. Sorroah has many powerful Artefacts scattered throughout its lands, and the ancient magic stored within can have strange effects on those who choose to wield them. The Gre-Tari are those whose interaction with the Artefacts has changed their very appearance, twisting their bodies with mutations. While they may look evil and ferocious outwordly, they seek a cure for those afflicted and hope one day to rid the world of the Artefacts.


And finally we have the Skarn, a tribal race that wander the land in huge caravans; their homes built atop huge beasts of lumber. They have shed their mortal lives and forsaken their souls for immortality and power but at a great cost. Shunned and feared by all, the Skarn exist on the fringes of civilisation.


So there you have them, our six races of Sorroah. Each have their own unique rules in the game of BattleBones and for this they need their own dice. Modest Stretch goals will allow us to create Faction Packs of 10 race specific BattleBones, plus 1 extra Power Dice and sell them as an Add On. A Rulebook Stretch Goal will upgrade the rules leaflet into a 20 page book and allow you to create huge armies of up to 30 BattleBones either of a single race or with Allies.

We have just over 20 days to go now till we launch and we're very excited about bringing this, our first Sorroah game, to fruition.

Thanks for the support.

As you can see on our website, the countdown has truly begun now as we plunge towards the launch of the Kickstarter on Saturday September 27th. We've been really busy here getting everything together for the day, hence the quietness here on the website for the last few weeks, but we think it has been worth it.

We are now making a few last minute tweaks to our graphics, making sure everything looks the same and neat, and that we've not missed anything from the information we're giving out about the game and its contents.

Lucy is doing a few more passes on the background and I've got a nice section to write about the Cleromancers, and all this will be revealed over the next few days as we get nearer the launch day.

Speaking of that, we'll be going LIVE! on Saturday September 27th at 1pm UK time. You can keep track of exactly how long this is by watching the countdown ticker at the top of the website. It certainly is keepiing us motivated!

Tomorrow we reveal the first of our background pieces - The World Of Sorroah - so check back, sign up for our newsletter and get ready to roll your BattleBones!



Cheers

7 days to go! Today we take a look at the human Hannan. http://www.sanctionedchaos.com/#!the-hannan/c79r

The dice in the core set represent the Hannan: stretch goals will fund the other races, each with their own special rules. Next week we launch so please check it out, and let us know what you think either below, on our FB page or via or website. And as it's just a week till we launch, we figured we'd go crazy this weekend and offer an extra 5% off purchases via our webstore. We have a selected ranged of rules and models from Warlord and Mantic Games as well as the entire Army Painter range.

Use code GOCRAZY during checkout to get a total 20% off!

Only 6 days till we launch and we really hope that once the Core set is funded we can then fund race specific BattleBones. The first ones planned are the Arrid but we may hold a poll to see what backers want next - give you what YOU want.

Thanks for taking a look - comments are always welcome - and thanks for your support.

They will slit your throat for what little coin you have given a moments chance. Hopefully we'll be able to get funded the Enoahan faction pack - 10 Enoah BattleBones and a Power Die.

Just over 4 days till we launch. Wow - that came around really fast - it was only a few months ago I was starting to tell you all about our game and now, FOUR DAYS TO GO!

Anyway, here's todays peek at the background - the Dru http://www.sanctionedchaos.com/#!the-dru/c1w3

The KS page has had some nice new graphics added - thanks Matt - and we're dying to press the big green LAUNCH button and get this rolling but we've a few more sneaky peeks to reveal before Saturdays big event.

BIG GAMES & ALLIES
BattleBones Core Set allows two players to fight with 10 Hannan BattleBones each and while this is a good size for a game bigger is better. We've included rules that allow you to fight with up to 30 BattleBones each which makes for some truly epic games. The allies rule also allows you to mix your BattleBones, so you could have Skarn fighting alongside your Dru, or Arrid forces arrayed with Hannan. Faction packs make for a great add on and come with 10 BattleBones and another power die. When we hit certain stretch goals, this will allow us to create those Faction Packs.

We're still deciding if this will be a points based system for larger games, with each type BattleBone costing X number of points, different as well due to the faction being used, or if we'll simply use a table that shows who can allie with whom and let players decide the size of game between themselves.

And speaking of the Skarn - they are todays background reveal: http://www.sanctionedchaos.com/#!the-skarn/c1xdw



As always thanks for the support

2 days to go!

Here are the Gre-Tari, a much misunderstood race amongst those of Sorroah.





UPDATED PREFUNDIA PAGE

We've given the prefundia page a bit of a spruce up, loading some of the KS graphics to it to give it a neater look. Anyone following the Prefundia page will get advanced notice of when the KS launches so we highly recommend you do so. http://prefundia.com/projects/view/battlebones/2079/

We've also gotten in contact with a few wargaming news sites, so hopefully they will help us get the word out. There are a few large miniature KS running at the moment and we hope we don't get lost in the signal noise out there - any help you can give us is greatly appreciated.

Everything is ready; all is in place. In just over 30 hours we begin the next stage of this adventure. The Prefundia page has had a surge of interest with over 200 visits in the last day alone, and we're hoping this translates well to the campaign itself.

I'll be posting updates here throughout the campaign, and want to thank you all for the support and interest you have shown so far.

All the best

EDIT: The quality-control test dice have arrived. Posted from Poland yesterday, they arrived today - so that bodes well for the KS fulfilment (although hopefully we'll be ordering thousands of dice and not just a hundred or so like this time). You can also see the rules leaflet sample (needs another rewrite) and one of the Add-Ons, a Sanctioned Chaos mug which you can have with any of the Faction logos on as well (and yes, that's coffee #7 for today!)

Really pleased by the quality of the dice; the symbols are crisp and clear and the designs etched perfectly.

We've decided to add an Early Bird One Click Bundle. £65 will get you the Core Set (20 Hannan Dice, 2 Power Dice, Rules leaflet) and one of every unlocked Stretch Goal. We're limiting this to 120 so make sure you get there at 1PM BST.

I'll post the graphic when we get it from our poor harrassed graphics guru.

Today at 1PM BST we launch the Kickstarter. It's amazing how fast this has come round. A few people have asked why we set this date to launch - seeing as we opened the thread months ago. Well, today is my 42nd birthday and it seemed appropriate to launch the Kickstarter the same time I become the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Really hoping that is a good sign...

I'll update the opening post as soon as we launch - maybe a bit earlier for you good Dakka-ites - so you can jump on our new Early Bird One Click Bundle specials

Thanks again for all the support and see you soon over at KS

After 2 days we are 31% funded - thanks everyone!

We had a few requests from retailers about a trader package, so we have put together a pledge level that combines a number of Core Sets, Faction Packs and BattleMats. Also included will be details for hosting tournament and organised play so this works well for a games club, who may want to club together for several sets. This level is £500 and full details can be requested through the KS message system.

We've also limited it to 10, so we don't get swamped.

I also recorded a short video yesterday, but due to the time it took to record, edit and host, the second part will have to be done either today or tomorrow. Now this won't win any production awards, but A) it's not bad for a guy with a BlackBerry Playbook as a camera, and B) it puts a face to Sanctioned Chaos.




Hope you can check us out, and support us - remember £65 get's you 1 of everything assuming it funds. This is proving especially popular with only 108 of the original 120 remaining. Check us out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanctionedchaos/battlebones-fight-for-sorroah

Hi everyone. We are now 47% funded after 5 days which is amazing. Thanks to everyone who has pledged or shared the links so far.

Today's update takes a look at the beta faction rules for the Arrid, Dru and Enoah races. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanctionedchaos/battlebones-fight-for-sorroah/posts/1004657

The £65 One Click bundle is proving popular and is now down to 102 left from an initial 120. While that may not seem like much when compared to a big miniatures based KS, but for us that is a huge achievement. So please, continue supporting us and get pledging.

Hi guys

When we were building the Kickstarter campaign, we ordered in 100 of the white Hannan faction dice for playtesting and to check the quality of the work. We are now selling these via our website to try and recoup some of the costs we put into the project, and while we won't be able to cover them entirely, a little goes a long way.

http://www.sanctionedchaos.com/#!webstore/c702

We have 8 packs of Hannan Battle-Bones available via the Sanctioned Chaos webstore; that's 10 dice to a pack. We don't have enough Power Dice to start selling them seperately yet, but hope to be able to create a limited number of Core Sets in the future and start selling them directly from our website.

It will take a lot longer to achieve this, but we hope some of you will be keen to still enjoy Battle-Bones as a game in the near future.

Once again, thank you all for your support. We really do appreciate it.

Cheers

JP & Lucy
