Hi all,

We just come back form World Cup III and we have to say that has been great! Over 900 players of all over the world having fun and playing our favorite game... What else can you ask for?
It's been amazing to meet so many people, backers, people from other brands and players in general and receive all your visits in our small stand. We want to thank specially the organizers of the event that have managed to handle 1000 people solving all problems and left the players only worry about enjoying the games.
We are looking forward to see all of you again at next World Cup... if not sooner.

We are still recovering forces but we are already preparing some pictures to show you the surprise we announced in the World Cup, our new product, the Pro Box. A portable case containing everything you need to play Fantasy Football, two teams, a wonderful stadium with its field and bleachers, magnetic scoreboards and markers, foam trays to transport your miniatures and transforming into benches when in play, dice ... and all of this so easily folded and placed to fit in a box!
We plan out to bring this product to life with a crowdfunding campaign very soon (middle of december) and we would like to hear as maximum Fantasy Football fans feedback as possible to make the best product for the community so every comment will be apreciated.

Regarding production of the dwarf team, everything is going well. The caster has already finished master molds of the latest minis and we aproved them to start production. We hope we receive them next week and then begin packing and shipping of your rewards. We would like to remind all backers that have not yet done so to send us the Pledge Manager.

The pro Box looks interesting but I'd like to see some more detail shots first.

And, just out of curiosity, why are you switching from indiegogo to kickstarter?

Hi Regash,
We plan to make a demonstration video and some descriptive photos so that you can see details better. We want you to know also that this is our second prototype and is still not the final product. The illustrator is working on it to improve the final art and provider just send us the white model to work with.
We'll be showing you more pictures soon :D

Regarding the crowdfunding platform, we think Kickstarter may have more reach than Indiegogo and it could be good for all, but we are still not 100% sure it will be the final choice.

How can we carry the mini in these boxes without damaging the paint? What did you plan for it?

Will this box contain two teams (if yes, which)? Or is it build to allow transportation of two teams?

good catch! in my mind I read "ROOM for two teams" not that it CONTAINED two teams. I hope this means that we can expect to see more new minis from Iron Golems soon! :)

I would love for it to be the case, but I am thinking probably not. i'm thinking it might be awfully ambitious for a new company to release so much at once.

Crowd funding over the xmas period doesn't seem like a good idea. I like the idea, but won't have any chance to back, even if it ends mid-Jan.

The Pro Box looks great! Will a passing diagram and Kick off table reference be included somewhere? That would be really great. I am curious about the price, I've been wanting to get the Vortice Ultrabox for a long time now but the price is out of my league now. Hope that this is more affordable. Anyway, good luck!

Hi all,
Jonnykanone, Mikey and Kaiowas, although we are at an early stage, the product is already developed, we created commitments with suppliers to ensure they become a reality if the campaign is successful and we are working right now on improving the overall graphic aspect but we are still considering the possibility of both ways: Pro Box as a separate accessory or as a complete package, ie, with two teams inside.
We don't want to deceive ourselves, it is very difficult to develop two teams from scratch in the short term and maintain the level reached by our dwarven team. We are still shuffling all possibilities but always bearing in mind that quality must be maintained and we will not want to lower it for trying to cover too much. Among this week and next week we will know if there is a real possibility for Pro Box to have two teams included or not.

Shuran, we also hope to show you next week a video demonstration so you can see all the details of the Pro Box and you fall in love with it, even more... just as are we.

The release date for the campaign is not final and, as some of you suggest (thanks Darkson), it may be more convenient to delay it after Christmas. We have been developing Pro Box's idea over a year (in fact going to be our first product) and did not want to delay it much cause we think time has come for it but leave it to January is a real possibility.

Regarding your questions of new teams, we still want to make new teams, of course. When everything on the Pro Box is aimed, we will start preproduction next team ... now we just need to know which one ;)

i second the thought of waiting until after the holidays to release the Pro Box. it's a really nice looking setup, but i am out of gaming funds until after my son gets all of his presents purchased.
is Pedro Ramos going to be sculpting the new teams as well?
thanks!
