Forged Realms is a simultaneous tactical dueling card game that plays in about 10 minutes Players build an army from a large pool of spells and creatures including the Border Knight, Necromancer, Siege Troll, Crypt Wolf, Goblin King and more. You then have only 5 turns to try and drive your opponent from the battle field using tactics, scouting, speed, flanking, and combat

Last 12 Hours, another Knight and a King
almost 7 years ago – Sun, May 21, 2017 at 03:03:01 AM

Final 12 hours with the stretch goal in sight! Busy day for us, we will be posting in a few more websites, Facebook groups, on twitter, etc for this final push. One last round of sharing!

Each faction has many creatures with common abilities. For instance Honor has a lot of knights and armored creatures. But there are armored creatures in other factions too. Not only that, some armored abilities are enhanced with magic. Basically when the armor breaks, it does something. Here, when the Goblin Knight's armor breaks, everyone takes 1 damage. This includes the player that controls the knight. Fits right in with the destructive manner the goblins play by:

Goblin Knight from the Core Set

And another armored creature that is from the Crypt Faction:

Undead King from the Core Set
Undead King from the Core Set

This Legendary is one of the hardest hitting 2-speed creatures in the game, has Armored ability and gives all of your other creatures +1 Attack. Legendary indeed!

12K Stretch Goal Achieved! Last 24 hours left! The Crow Knight
almost 7 years ago – Sat, May 20, 2017 at 01:13:52 PM

This is it, the final day of the campaign!  With the 12k Stretch Goal achieved, this will add another 8 cards to each Core Set for free! The total Core Set deck size will be 135 cards!

If the 14k Stretch Goal is met and 16 new cards are added, the total number of cards in the collection will have almost doubled since the start of this campaign (including add-on packs, exclusives and extra stretch goals). This will give players a lot more deck building options when dueling

Last, here is a quick look at one of my favorite creatures when I play Honor: the Crow Knight. He's a decent tank with good speed and a direct damage/self buffing ability. Keep his armor repaired and he can do a lot of damage:

Art Vote Results, New crazy Stretch Goal, Last 48!
almost 7 years ago – Fri, May 19, 2017 at 01:56:03 PM

This is it! Last 48 hours! We are close the the next Stretch Goal so I wanted to add one last Stretch Goal for this 2-day push:

$14,000 : Add-On Pack #3 (FREE!) 

This will be all new art for 16 new cards! (2 of each unique card for a 16 card pack). Each Core Set will get one pack (IE: The EPIC Tier that has 2xCore Set Decks will also get 2xAdd-On Pack #3 (32 additional cards - 4 of each unique card)

These will be sold later, if the goal is made, at their normal $5 msrp. But as a HUGE thanks, we hope we can get these added to everyone's pledge for free!

This pack will include even more Creatures and Spells for ALL 4 factions

ELF QUEEN VOTING:

No surprise here but Sketch #1 is the new art base that Ramon will start with. I also agree with a few people that mentioned they would like to see the magic side of this queen. We will look at adding some magic to her open hand to get that effect

I really appreciate all of the support, messages and feedback during the campaign! It's been a blast!

Thanks,

Calvin - A very excited game developer

Final Vote: Help decide the new Elf Queen Art!
almost 7 years ago – Thu, May 18, 2017 at 03:35:38 PM

Hi everyone. As I said before I really enjoyed the last art vote (as did the lead artist Ramon) and we wanted to do this one last time

The Legendary Elf Queen is a very fast fighter and has a unique power called Nature's Wrath. Before she engages in combat, she uses this ability to do damage to your opponent and heal you at the same time. With that in mind, here are the 3 concept sketches:

Just like last time, which sketch should I choose? Post a reply with a 1, 2 or 3 (and anything else you want to add)  

This decision will be voted on by you and the votes will be counted tomorrow night  (8PM CST - US)

Finished art from earlier sketches
almost 7 years ago – Tue, May 16, 2017 at 05:07:53 PM

Over $10,000 and still 5 days to go! For me this campaign has went pretty fast. I've really enjoyed the response to the game so far. Most people that tried the demo at Con of the North or Fantasy Flight Games Center wanted to play a few extra games. We even had some people stick around and show other new players how to play. Was a blast. With 10 minutes games, most could squeeze a game in before their next event :)

Back to art, here are the final cards from the Update #9 sketches:

Goblin Sorcerer from Add-On pack #1

Skeleton Archer from the Core Set

The next update will have another vote on a new set of sketches
