Good morning, allies!
For those of you who have read the rulebook and learned the new terms, you know that I’m saying hello to all of you, as you’re on my team and thus my “allies”. However, that “Good morning” doesn’t apply to me, as I do not count as my own ally — an ally is someone else on my team. Just a bit of a rules note before we dive into the box!
Let’s Get Physical (Components)!
The updates for this campaign were planned out early on, as you can see in the very first update. So, my plan in this update was to show off all of the components… but by this point, you’ve seen all of it! There was so much demand that I ended up doing extra livestreams and updates with more reveals. Which was great! So, if you’ve been following along with everything, a lot of this might not be new. But there will still be SOME new stuff!
The different sizes of cards make the table presence look great, as the Hero character cards stand out as the most important cards in the Hero play area, and the Villain character cards take up a commanding amount of space without being TOO big. Plus, I love the feel of the Environment cards being in landscape orientation, rather than portrait.
(That above picture is one Darrell took right after we got the preproduction copy. You can see some of my scrawl on a post-it note on the table about things we fixed from that version to the final. Progress!)
There are some nifty animated GIFs on the front page of this campaign that show how the spinners work, and how they’re assembled. Additionally, here’s a collection of the tokens found in the box.
I played 3 games of Definitive Edition over the weekend this weekend, and every type of token seen here was used at least once, so that means we made the right tokens! Whew. Also, no effects came up over those games that anyone had the “gosh I’d like a token for this” feeling, so that’s also good!
You’ve seen the Hero complexity, Villain difficulty, and Environment peril ratings in each of those updates. Those charts are from the Lore Book, which you’ve seen very little of, otherwise.
The Lore Book has bios and also helpful rules and interactions primers for each of the heroes, villains, and environments, as well!
I’d mentioned in the livestreams that the insert in the preproduction copy that I have is incorrect. I should have a version of the correct insert in hand for Thursday’s livestream, but it’s en route now. However, I do have some photos from the factory of it!
Looking good! Plenty of space for more cards in that second channel, and the character cards can either fit in the channel, or in the big space with the token box, or even just in the token box itself!
Oh, also, last but not least, here's the front of the box that the foil promo cards will be in:
If there are other components you have questions about or would like to see more of, feel free to ask during this week’s upcoming livestream(s)! More on that in a bit, but first...
Also, an announcement!
Over the course of this campaign, we’ve had several other companies contact us, wanting to be involved in a variety of ways. Now that we have made one such deal, we’re pleased to announce it here! I’m proud to introduce our German language partner for Sentinels of the Multiverse: Definitive Edition: Frosted Games!
First, in German:
FROSTED GAMES freut sich der deutsche Partner für SENTINELS OF THE MULTIVERSE: DEFINITIVE EDITION sein zu dürfen.
Als wir von dieser Definitive Edition erfahren haben, wussten wir, dass wir die Chance ergreifen müssen, dieses absolute Ausnahme-Spiel endlich nach Deutschland bringen zu können!
Unsere deutsche Version erscheint jedoch nicht über den Kickstarter, sondern ihr könnt sie im Laufe dieses Jahres ganz regulär bei uns auf www.frostedgames.de vorbestellen!

This is the Last Week!
I’m going to do a Livestream on Thursday at Noon (Central) that I originally listed as “FAQ Q&A AMA BBQ”, and this caught the attention of our Creative Director Darrell Louder. Darrell is an avid BBQist, and immediately volunteered to actually make those final three letters into a reality. I don’t quite know what all that entails, but I can tell you that I’m looking forward to Thursday’s Livestream! Plus, that means we’ll also have Darrell there to answer any questions about production, graphic design, layout, or even BBQ!
Also, I’m going to do ANOTHER Livestream on Friday! That will be an end of day/end of Kickstarter sort of thing, just ushering out the final hours of the campaign. I’ll do a brief update on Wednesday with video links to both of those events.
Until then, keep up the great work! Save the Multiverse!
