Printing Begins!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 22, 2020 at 04:18:25 PM

Start the presses!

Our printing partner has cautiously resumed their operations as of 5/18/2020. For the safety of their employees they are working at reduced capacity. Thankfully they were just about to start printing AGON before the shutdown, so we're early in their queue. 

Based on their estimate for printing and our fulfillment company, we're hoping to get physical copies out to you by September, and have them released in retail in October. 

In the meantime, if your part of the 5% who haven't completed your BackerKit survey, we suggest you do it now. Also, if you backed at the Patron of the Arts level, you still have the opportunity to upgrade to Path of Glory or Hero of Legend to get the final PDF and all of the stretch goals!

You can fill out your survey at https://agon.backerkit.com/

Zoom Virtual Backgrounds

Inspired by our friends running Battle of the Boybands, John created virtual backgrounds to use in your Zoom games of AGON...or really any time you want to be in front of a giant masked boar!

Safe voyages to all of you. 

AGON appearing on distant shores!

Greetings heroes, we have news from afar today!

AGON Translations

We've signed contracts with translators to publish versions of AGON in German, Russian, Spanish, Polish, and French. We're currently in discussion with folks to translate it into Italian, Korean and Chinese as well.

We're excited to see these translations in development!

Roll20 News

Thanks to the wonderful work of Jakob Oesinghaus, the AGON Roll20 sheets now include a sheet for the Strife Player as well. 

Stretch Goal Island from James Mendez Hodes

Last update we had islands from Allison Arth, Ben Scerri, Whitney Delaglio, and Kira Magrann. This time we want to introduce you to Khryse, home of the rhap battles and dance offs!

Khryse is a half-sunk ancient city’s acropolis, its pale towers piercing upward out of briny canals or hilltop streets. Braided vines wind around them, fruit trees and flowers growing through windows or upon rooftop earth-mounds. The ruins form echoing theaters which amplify duelists’ scathing voices as they battle with verse or dance in the gods’ names.

You can find Mendez' stretch goal island in a new Digital Download on BackerKit. Mendez, like a few other of our contributors (John and Jeeyon) are working on even more aquatic adventures right now. If you haven't already, check out the narrative-driven board game Sea of Legends Kickstarter by Guildhall Studios.

Thank you as always for your support and understanding. Our printer is scheduled to resume manufacturing next week. Once they get start we should have an estimate on how long it will take for the books to print. We'll be updating you as our final stretch goals are available and as we learn more about the physical book status from our printer and fulfillment company.

Set sails for digital shores!
