Sword & Board’s Kickstarter Begins This December
October 31, 2013 by brennon
We've been covering the Sword & Board renders and miniatures for a while now and it looks like the rules and world of the game will be hitting Kickstarter come December the 1st. Check out their tease...
Twelve Elements of War sounds like it has a lot of potential. Quick Start Rules are coming before the Kickstarter even launches so that you can feed into the development before the pledges even start flowing.
The game will be based at a warband level but as well as battles you will also be visiting the Tavern, the Merchants, going Pit Fighting and also visiting the Temple, building a narrative feeling of growth around your toy soldiers.
It sounds like they are mixing a role-playing game and a miniatures game and that is no bad thing. The miniatures have been looking good as development has progressed and I think this is one to keep an eye on.
Will you be checking out the rules?

That does sound interesting*

Could be a decent replacement for Mordheim…
I like what I hear and see…but what a horrible time to start a KS! Unless they plan on having it go on into at least mid-January their biggest competition is going to be holiday shopping.
Would seem like a better idea to wait until just after the holidays.
We where initially concerned about this as well. However, we looked thought the KS history over the time period for last year. A number of very successful campaigns where run during that time. Including the phenomenal “Kingdom Death” campaign which achieved over 2 million USD between late November and early January. Although we don’t expect to reach that kind of success, it does show that I can be done. It’s just a matter of the gaming community being interested enough in our product.
We do really appreciate your feedback 🙂
Are you planning on running only in Dec. or will you run into, say, the first or second week of Jan.? I’m thinking if you go beyond the holidays you might be able to snag some people who got a bunch of cash for Xmas.
It will run from the 1st of December 2013 to the 14th of January 2014. So 45 days in total. We would like as many people as possible to have the opportunity to take part in our campaign. With Alessio cavatore’s River Horse and Maxmini working with us on the game, we think we have a great product. But we may be a little bias 🙂
