I believe he was suggesting that Nazi Parodies are popular with Polish folks.

Anyway, you will have a huge market in Poland with these. They love these kind of portrayals of Germans.

What do the Polish have to do with this? I've met the Brushfire folks, and they're not Polish.

Awhile back Koothawk had a big rant about the fact that every Polish bit maker ever, makes their own "WWII German Orc heads".
=P

I assume he was referencing that rant. lol

We will be changing the style of packaging used for Brushfire's Squad Boxes/Warbands in the near future as we will not be using the white plastic cases anymore, and will be switching to cardboard boxes. While direct customer orders may contain a mix of the new/old style packaging for a few weeks, starting today all Retail/Wholesale orders will be using the new style of boxes.

**Cyporiean**

First box off the assembly line with the new packaging..

**RiTides**

I really like it

**Alfndrate**

Guys! I just read on twitter the following:

On the Lamb Games wrote:The world of Terra was forever altered when four of it’s six moons crashed into the planet, breaking apart and revealing their sources of magic, the Crystals. The magical energy of the Crystals bathed the world, giving skill and power to those who had never known it.

The four elements marked all living things. The Magma Crystal scorched the lands of Zeutenheim, but gave strength and resolve to it’s people. The Deep Crystal gave a bounty to the plains of Halleford, and gave life to magical creatures. The Iron Crystal sealed away the cities of the dwarves, but gave trolls the power to build their hero-testing dungeons. The Sky Crystal lifted a continent into the air and gave power to wizards, letting them cast spells alone, that they could never dream of casting in the cabals before the disaster.

The planet itself was polarized by the event, the magical draw of the Crystals keeps one side of the planet always facing its star. Despite the tragedy, the world moved on; knights defended castles, wizards researched spells, and trolls built dungeons.

Now, as the world has settled into it’s new order, one of the Crystals has fractured, and a sickening, corrupting miasma has spewed forth, altering any who touch it. A new war rises on this planet of Endless Day and Endless Night. Will your group be the heroes who save Terra?

With a counter at the bottom of the page... I heard from an insider source that a kickstarter might be going up for this game in a month.

**Zygrot24**

I feel cheated. I got no glimpses of this when I was at On The Lamb World Mega HQ.

But seriously, if this is as cool as I'm hoping it is it'll be the ultimate nostalgia expression of my childhood.

**Alfndrate**

Zygrot, they've had the sorcerer model for several months now (you can find pics in this thread).

It's been a little hush hush from what the rumor mill says...

**Cyporiean**

Aye, we've had the Sorcerer at every con we've gone to since GAMA Trade Show back in march.. and it was in the display case with the Brushfire stuff when you visited OTL.

We've just gotten in WIPs of the Dragoon, which will be shown when we launch the Kickstarter for Endless. We're mainly just waiting on two pieces of Artwork from Heath and to build hype, as this project requires a higher initial goal then our previous ones.

Over the next few weeks we'll start talking about Endless more and more.

**Alfndrate**

Zygrot, you might want to look at this post:

**Cyporiean**

I think this is what you were trying to link Alf: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/120/415838.page#4037135

**Alfndrate**

yeah... There is a bug with what I did... I filtered it, clicked the specific post button on the upper left hand side, and it took me to the page but not the post lol...

**Zygrot24**

Herp. I have seen those. GG short term memory.

**Alfndrate**

If anyone is interested, I've been asking EFT questions to OTL on the tweeter/twatters/twitter, and would be willing to post the comments when I can.

**msears**

Cool to see On The Lamb doing a new game!

**Alfndrate**

So after a twitter based "interview" here are the answers/responses I got about Endless Fantasy Tactics

@AspirantRanger wrote:Is there a basic rundown on gameplay yet to avoid asking what has been answered?

@onthelambgames wrote:Not Yet, EFT is a d6 pool based system on a square grid play surface. Players form parties of 5 to 10 minis with various abilities. EFT models work a little like Brushfire heroes do, in that they have a list of abilities to choose from and you can only have so many per fig.

Will we see a set of campaign rules along the lines of Brushfire, or is the game more focused on random skirmishes?

@onthelambgames wrote:Campaign Rules will be included, they are something we enjoy.

Also, based on your inspirational material can we expect to see NPC models ala monsters or judges?

@onthelambgames wrote:First stretch goal features an Earth Troll. . We plan to allow monsters as part of a party, after all not everyone wants to fight for truth and justice. As for NPCs/Non-combatants/AI, that might fit into a little better with Endless Fantasy Roleplaying... should such a thing occur.

Okay, I was referring to scenario, "judicators" that would enforce "arena style" rules ala tactics advanced.

@onthelambgames wrote:Models that change the way everyone plays? Likely.

Can we expect to see limited Brushfire Crossovers? Like The Black Kiwi on a yellow short beaked kiwi w/a rider in plate armor?

@onthelambgames wrote:Crossovers between Brushfire and EFT is highly unlikely

Assuming the kickstarter succeeds, when can we expect to see an actual release?

@onthelambgames wrote:Retail release for EFT is aimed at GenCon next year, but we plan to have stuff shipping out to backers sooner. Maybe AdeptiCon? The Kickstarter wil list 'August 2013' as the shipping date, but we'll ship out pledge rewards as quickly as we can fill them.

@AspirantRanger wrote: Sounds fun! The summary on the website made it sound like there could be a few 'factions'. How many total?

@onthelambgames wrote:EFT will have an Endless number of factions in a sense. All models will be usable by all players. We'll detail a number of groups/nations in the fluff, but you'll easily be able to make your own as well.

Based on the "nations" in the teaser put up today, can we get a rundown of those nations/factions?

@onthelambgames wrote:As we get closer to the Kickstarter/during it, we'll post more world fluff and info about the groups/nations.

Any faction specific art yet?

@onthelambgames wrote:No faction specific art until we start getting to the Character Stretch goals

So, there is a lot of information being tossed around, lots of cool stuff to make me excited for this kickstarter, but sad that a general release is still a year off... I suspect it will be a fun time though

**Cyporiean**

The Aug Date is mostly to give us a nice buffer. As this is a huge project, and we want it done right, we'd rather not rush things. We also don't want to just trickle out models, but would like to launch with a good number of options available.

We've always shipped preorders out asap, and we will continue this trend with Kickstarter pledges.

**Alfndrate**

I figured as much, and it actually is refreshing to know when you want it released, my biggest complaint with kickstarters is that I never really knew when things would be released.

**Cyporiean**

Additionally, the Kickstarter reward packs are likely to NOT match Retail. We've priced it out so as to cover the costs of everything, and to give you a nice bang for your buck when we hit the stretch goals.

**Alfndrate**

I know that we'll be privy to this in a few weeks, but can you tell us what the goal you hope to achieve is?

**Cyporiean**

Alfndrate wrote:

20k to get the bare minimum done, which will pay for the initial sculpts, art, casting, and printing costs.

We've got stretch goals currently planned to 330k, and are working on more ideas.

Some people may feel the initial pledge reward price is alittle high, but once we start piling on the stretch goals (The majority of which are auto-added to the pledge reward at no extra cost) it should look alot better.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Going back to Brushfire for a moment, Bob Naismith sent along some new WIP pics..

Scyzantium - Gecko Rider

**Zygrot24**

Sea turtle fins with tortoise shell? Hrm...

Only a Floridian would notice that

Its being worked on.

**Zygrot24**

But I'm from CA. Don't have to be a herpetologist to see that. x.x

At any rate, more lizards, imo.

Working on it.

With this release Scyzantium will have 3/4 of its troops and 1/2 Heroes from the core book.

**spaceelf**

I love the gecko rider.

I would not worry about the shell thing. I would assume the turtle would be more concerned with the shotgun wielding gecko on its back.

**Alfndrate**

Well, considering that Scyzantium is far more desert than sea, it's the legs we should be worried about. Most turtles and tortoises have very similar legs except for the finned sea-faring variety. I had a painted turtle and he had similar claws to the local Eastern Box Turtle, and the EBT doesn't go into water as much...

**Cyporiean**

The Geckos are from the coastal regions of Bharat & Scyzantium, and make up the bulk of Scyzantium's naval forces along with the Anoles.

But either way, the turtle will have land-turtle legs in the next update.

sept for the odd choice of fins for feat, it's other wise a great modle, that's prety true to the concept art.
