I was dealt a *dramatic blow* because my "Marketing Expert" had decided to no longer offer marketing resources. Specifically I was hoping to have a group of over 5,000+ gamers (that was the resource) I could pitch my game to.

On the *positive* side of things, making some changes to the game, I was able to drop the Funding Goal from $25,000 to $15,000! Wow! That is a lot!

This was partially because I did not need to pay the Marketing Expert (10%) and I made some concessions with the artwork (and created stretch goals if gamers want all unique artwork, it will cost +$5,000 funding).

So much more to do, so little time and money

Introduction

In the beginning the ancient mysticism came from the Pharaohs. Osiris the God of the Afterlife, the Underworld and the Dead would guarantee the transition from this life to the next. The Greek heretics, zealots in their beliefs, sought a place where they could expand and explore further in detail the Egyptian mysticism... The city of Alexandria was chosen, because it was the capital of Hellenistic Egypt. There Greek Masters would table six (6) different schools of Greek Magic, each with one with its special rituals and incantations.

When you typically think of a minis game - you don't think about a "game within a game"... This is a *fresh* and exciting IDEA about how to use minis as an Expansion for "Tradewars - Homeworld".

The early concept includes 1" hexagonal tiles with various types of space occurrences like "asteroids", "homeworlds", and at the heart of the map, the only planet rich in quickSilver (Name to be determined).

I finally got around to prototyping the tiled version of Order of the Wand this weekend to find out I didn’t have enough cardboard for all 76 tiles. Picking up the cardboard today, should have it ready to test by mid-week at latest. I will make sure there is plenty of extra cardboard as I have a feeling the 3-1/2 inch tiles are a wee bit big but I’ll leave making a 3 inch set until I have done a few rounds of testing.

Must remember to take pictures this time!
