4th Identity Set & Sean Wright Added
over 5 years ago – Thu, Aug 09, 2018 at 10:57:36 PM

The horde marches on, consuming all who fall before it. But our band of survivors moves on ahead, looking for Refuge and unlocking a whole bunch more cards!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will get a fourth set of identity cards:

Each card will introduce brand new moves and options, and slots easily into the existing decks. Meek lets you clear stress by following other’s orders, but it also gives you a new way to calm someone down; Coordinator makes you better at planning actions for the group; Radio Host allows you to help folks over the airwaves without exposing yourself to danger.

And since you all have already pushed us past $32,500 as well, we’re also adding a new Population card—Sean Wright!

Sean is a cubicle drone who has found a new level of heroism since Z-Day. She’s a better leader than she might look, and she’s a whole lot braver than anyone would have expected. She’s a great ally to have on your side, especially if you need someone to lead a group in your absence.

More Stretch Goals: Fireworks & Sanders Creek

We’re getting close to Refuge, but we’re not there yet. Next up: the survivors raid the fireworks stand at the amusement park for some new firepower.

 But that’s not all. It turns out that Jaya has been hiding something...

All backers at the Full Enclave ($50) level will get all the cards in the stretch goal pack!

So far, we have unlocked:

• The Caravan enclave (2 cards) 
• The Heavy Vehicle advantage (1 card) 
• Alex Procyon population (1 card) 
• Celebrity, Instigator, and Radical Identity cards (3 cards) 
• The Comms advantage (1 card) 
• PI, Inquisitor, and Paranoid Identity cards (3 cards) 
• Daryl Kirkman population (1 card) 
• Fugitive, Hunter, and Liar Identity cards (3 cards) 
• The Amusement Park enclave (2 cards) 
• Radio Host, Coordinator, and Meek Identity cards (3 cards) 
• Sean Wright population (1 card)

All of these cards are Kickstarter Exclusives. We may have a few left over and available at conventions or on our webstore, but they won’t last long. Let folks know that the Kickstarter is their best chance to pick them up!

Last Four Days!

On that note... it's almost the end of the campaign! We've got four days left to make it to Refuge. Please spread the word! We'd love to have more folks join the caravan, but it's up to you to let them know we're headed for Refuge. Please post the project on Twitter, Facebook, and G+ to let people know that the campaign ends on Sunday! Thank you!

Third Set of New Identity Cards Added

Still more options unlocked, still more zombies marching onward!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving three new Identity cards—the Fugitive Past card, the Hunter Present, and the Liar Trauma!

Each card will introduce brand new moves and options, and slots easily into the existing decks. The Fugitive card reveals that you were charged with a crime, but escaped custody, while the Hunter card sets you up as an expert hunter for the enclave, and the Liar card emphasizes how you cannot stop lying, even when it doesn’t matter.

We still have FunWorld coming up next, and then after that, our course will take us to a pirate radio station trailer!

If we reach this stretch goal, we’ll add another set of identity cards to the stretch goal pack!

The Amusement Park is a whole new enclave, usable right alongside the Prison, Hospital, Caravan, Farm, or Mall enclaves from the other Zombie World materials. The Amusement Park comes with its own unique two moves, as well as its own unique checklist for use in creating the enclave.

We still have the pirate radio trailer coming up next on our path to Refuge, and then after that…

New Reward Tier: Allied Group Pack

After hearing some of your requests for a group pack, we’ve decided to add a new reward tier just for groups! This reward tier is to help alleviate shipping costs, and to give you a special additional bonus.

If you pledge at this level, you not only get all 4 copies of the Full Enclave reward tier, but you get that special opposing enclave write-up for your group! We expect the shipping prices for this pack to be:

• Shipping to USA: $10-15 
• Shipping to EU, AU, CA: $15-20 
• Other international shipping: $30

Let us know if you have any questions about this new reward tier in the comments! 

GenCon!

At the moment, the whole of the Magpie Team is at GenCon, so we may be a bit out of touch or slow to respond these days—we appreciate your patience and continued support, though. And if you're at GenCon, please visit us at our booth, 2459, or check in on our game room to see if there are any open slots at room 245, on the second floor right by the main exhibition hall! We've got tons of great games running and great books at our booth!

And as always, thanks for being our very own horde of amazing, wonderful zombie people!

The zombies march ever onward! Another stretch goal unlocked!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving a new Population card—Daryl Kirkman!

Daryl Kirkman is a useful ally in any enclave...just so long as he’s your ally, and not somebody else’s. After all, would you want your enemy to have a crossbow-wielding badass on their side?

 We’re still aimed at that cabin in the woods for our next stop ($25,000), but we’ve charted our course a bit further on the path to Refuge:

At FunWorld, our caravan will set up for a long stay—unlocking the Amusement Park as a whole new enclave you can use to start any game of Zombie World!

So far, we have unlocked: 

• The Caravan enclave (2 cards) 
• The Heavy Vehicle advantage (1 card) 
• Alex Procyon population (1 card) 
• Celebrity, Instigator, and Radical Identity cards (3 cards) 
• The Comms advantage (1 card)

Thanks again for being such an awesome community! And please keep sharing Zombie World around!

New Identity Cards & OneShot Actual Play
almost 6 years ago – Mon, Jul 23, 2018 at 11:34:40 AM

The zombie apocalypse waits for no weekend—and neither do awesome backers like you! You’ve unlocked yet another stretch goal for the Kickstarter Exclusive pack, and (as of this writing) we're only about $350 away from the next one!

All backers at the $50 Full Enclave level will be receiving three new identity cards—the PI (Past), Inquisitor (Present), and Paranoid (Trauma) cards!

Each card will introduce brand new moves and options, and slots easily into the existing decks. The PI card reveals that you have a history in the hard-boiled camera-wielding investigator department, while the Inquisitor card sets you up as someone who questions the other people in the enclave and makes sure they’re not hiding anything important, and the Paranoid card has you taking your questioning just a bit too far.

And our caravan’s next destination is charted—they’re going to pass through a thick forest on their way to a new route to Refuge!

In this dangerous forest, our caravan will meet up with a new, unlikely ally—a new Population card to add to the deck!

Plus, since we’re so close, our next stop is charted—a cabin in the woods!

At the cabin in the woods, our caravan will find out more about one of its members, giving you new Past, Present, and Identity cards you can mix right into your core decks for character creation!
