Happy New Year to all of you who’ve been following this game
and I hope 2015 is going to be awesome for you!
And to any of you who have stumbled upon this at a later date, well… Hi
there, how’s tricks?
Anywho.
Let’s get this out of the way then:
After over 2 years
with no game produced my contract with Indie has now ended.
Fantasy Quest will NOT
be produced by Indie Boards and Cards.
To remain philosophical I’ll not go into detail on the
reasons for this suffice to say it’s disappointing, predictable, and also a
relief to regain the game rights actually.
And the last 2+ years haven’t been entirely wasted as I’ve been able to
continue development of the system.
So where does this leave the game?
Well, I could continue trying to hawk Fantasy Quest to
different publishers, but it’s a very niche game, and publishers of this type
of game tend to already produce their games in-house. And of course it could all end in another years-long
wait with no game at the end.
As for crowd-funding, I could try something like indiegogo,
but I’d need a prolific and dedicated artist, a printing partner like Printer
Studio, and oodles of time away from my full time job, family, etc. to run the
campaign.
And there’s always the third option: leave it as PnP and
call it a day.
Whatever happens, I’m staying positive. We still have 160+ Fans and 30,000+ hits on
boardgamegeek, and another few hundred thousand hits on my blog.
So, happy gaming all and please have a brilliant 2015! :)

PS. How cool was Battle
of Five Armies??
