Fulfillment Update

Our US-based Fulfillment house has informed us that all North American orders will be shipped by Friday, Sept. 6th.  If you haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, expect to see one soon. 

Project Development

A.R.M. SUMMER CATALOG

We've been hard at work on Uncle Ernie's A.R.M. Summer Catalog, which is filled with the living killing machines Ernie is known for.  The book is in active development, with layout templates being designed by Paul Vincent of TableCat Games and art being commissioned.  We expect to kickstart that project in late 2023.   It will be compatible with both classic Battlelords (CBL) and Savage Battlelords (SBL), as well as any Savage Worlds game where you might need a monster to fight. 

ROLL20

We are also in the process of developing Savage Battlelords for the Roll20 platform.

Good News. Shipping Soon!

All of the Add-Ons have been completed by the manufacturer (more than 50kg/110lbs worth!), have been shipped, and are expected to reach our fulfillment house next week. Shipping should start shortly after that.  It will take a bit longer for the shipments to reach our UK warehouse and than the US warehouse. We’d like to thank everyone for their continued patience, but the wait is over!

Gen Con 2023

Gen Con Indy was a great success! Our best Gen Con ever, both in terms of sales and the number of games we ran for Classic Battlelords (CBL) and Savage Battlelords (SBL). We had so much interest we were commandeering open tables and drafting off-duty GMs to run games. Thanks to all our helpers and GMs.

Dog Tag Bennies

If you ordered the dog tag bennies (20 per set), we have a final product image for you! Check it out!

Sneak Preview (Next SBL Book!)

We have a sneak preview of our next book, the A.R.M. Summer Catalog. A collection of Uncle Ernie’s finest killing machines, with stats for both Classic Battlelords (CBL) and Savage Battlelords (SBL). We will likely be kickstarting this late 2023 or early 2024.  We're really trying to knock this one out of the park in terms of art and production quality. We’ve have a low-res, rough draft of a page below. 

ROLL 20 Development

We are currently exploring development of Savage Battlelords for the Roll20 platform with Sigil, the same company that developed Pinnacle's Roll20 materials for Savage Worlds.  We will likely be kickstarting this late 2023 or early 2024.

JUNE UPDATE - GOOD NEWS
11 months ago – Wed, Jun 21, 2023 at 12:37:08 PM

THE BOOKS

Books have completed printing and are on a slow boat somewhere between Eastern Europe and Boston. Once they arrive in the U.S. they will be freighted to our fulfillment house in Tennessee. Books destined for EU, UK, and Australasia have already been sent to our UK fulfillment house.

THE CARDS

The Battlelords-themed poker cards have completed printing and have arrived here! The box is designed to look like a Balshrom Science Corp. energy magazine (E-Mag) for an energy weapon.

THE CHIPS

The Battlelords-themed Benny Counters have been manufactured and are set to arrive tomorrow!

T-SHIRTS, DOG TAGS, TOE TAGS, & COASTERS

These are being manufactured in-house and are currently in production.

GEN CON INDY 2023

We will be exhibitors and event runners at Gen Con 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana on August 3-6th, 2023. We will have the Battlelords-themed playing cards, poker chips, and other goodies that you can’t get outside of our Kickstarters available at the con. Our booth number is 3040 and the exhibit hall map is here: https://files.gencon.com/2023.ExhibitHallMap.pdf

You can find Battlelords events at GenCon here: https://www.gencon.com/events?search=battlelords

Event attendees will get custom Battlelords swag!

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

The new Savage Battlelords project will likely be Uncle Ernie’s A.R.M. Summer Catalog. A collection of Hostile Alien Lifeforms (HALS) for your characters to wrestle with and be eaten by!

DELIVERY

We are still shooting for getting all of the books, accessories, and add-ons to our fulfillment houses by the end of August.  Gen Con takes a big bite out of schedule every year, and we hope to have all the pieces in place (no pun intended) before we leave for the con. Shipping times from the fulfilment house will vary depending on your location.

Thanks for your continued patience.
