Tonight’s battle royale saw the Greek Gods bring their all to this whirlwind battle of the bands tour, its first sortie being held at the Artemis Temple (photo). Word of the battle had spread far and wide, ensuring that the Gods would play to a completely packed temple.
While the other pantheons put up a valiant effort, the ultra-high speed shredding performance put on by Hermes (photo) helped him live up to his name as Messenger of the Gods, as the other gods were delivered a message of “Go home, we own this place!”
His hands, ever a blur with the notes coming closer and closer together, tore his guitar to within an inch of its magical life. The other band members rocked on with Hephaestus hammering out the beats, Poseidon bringing the bass and Hera providing the melodic vocals. Hermes, though, stole the show and DELIVERED.
The pillars trembled, the people screamed, and at the end of the night, the Greeks ruled the venue and the hearts (not to mention the souls) of the adoring crowd.
This is the first show in the long road to the final showdown August 1st being held at #Kickstarter. This reporter is a fan and is looking forward to what this Soulbound Tour has ahead. Rock on!

The Lords of Rock is launching August 1 on Kickstarter. One of the great stretch goals is to add the Cthulhu Mythos to the game. We believe in the game that we have already started the art for Cthulhu.
Cthulhu will be rocking the bass guitar to ensure his mythos pantheon will rule the universe in the ultimate battle of the bands!
If you missed the Kickstarter and still would like to order, now is your chance. We are happy to announce that Nightmare Forest: Dead Run is now available for pre-order!
But hurry, this will only be available for a short period of time.
So grab your friends and run for your life to escape a forest overrun with the furry undead in this classic side-scroller board game mashup.
Things are progressing nicely here at SolarFlare Games and wanted to update everyone on the Nightmare Forest: Dead Run Kickstarter progress. We now have all of the zombie art complete and being configured for printing. The box (as noted last time) is ready. The manual should be completed this week. We plan to let you see that as soon as we have it ready for consumption.
We expect to see the funds released from Kickstarter Monday or Tuesday. We have not heard of any new delays in the new system and so we are expecting things to be on time.
Surveys
Please expect to see your surveys come this week. Since we have been working to be prepared to enter manufacturing as quickly as possible – the surveys have not been the highest priority. Expect to see them and please fill them out as quickly as possible and completely. We are very excited to be rolling along and looking forward to delivering the game on time.
ART – The Circus Has Returned
Here are the five Circus Zombies you have not seen yet (in an update). Terrifying AND Entertaining they are. Just glad we did not have to make zombie clowns as I am not sure I could have gone through with it.
The only art left to complete are the custom people art cards and they are actively being worked on by Natalie one of the artists on Nightmare Forest.
T-Shirts
We have had several of you ask about the Nightmare Forest “splatter shirt” and if there will be some way to get one with your game. We are working on a way to allow for a companion order of the shirts – so more to follow. For those that have forgotten, here is the image of the shirt.

Check out this new review of Thrash-Car by The News Wheel
Thrash-Car Board Game Review: A Riotous, Reckless Racing Game!
When can you win a racing board game without crossing the finish line? When you’re playing Thrash-Car!
For those who thought that tabletop versions of racetrack competitions were too tame, uncompetitive, or commercialized, this wild game pits players against each other in aggressive automotive attacks. Whether you side with the hippies, rednecks, old folks, or soccer moms, your team will be prepared to send others crashing into the wall.
As the title suggests, Thrash-Car is more about attacking other cars than racing. However, it’s not entirely a destruction derby game, as players can still win by completing the race. Originally funded as Kickstarter project in 2013, Thrash-Caris a riotous, reckless ride. Read more…..
We do not know a better way to says that. As a team you Foresters blew through every goal, hacked your way through the brush and geared up and fought your way to the end with the whole forest chasing you.

The faster we fully fund the quicker we can get all the balls rolling. Thanks!
The Schedule (Planned)
Below is the timeline we are planning on:
Feb29 to March 18 – Collect Funds and most of what is above
Approx: March 19 to May 6 – Proofing and Manufacturing
Approx: May 7 to June 18 – International and Continental Freight
Approx: June 19 to June 30 – Prepare to Ship/Some Margin for Issues
Approx July 1-30 Shipping
This is the timeline barring any issues. We all know there can be unknown issues or challenges that can arise but I will make sure that you are kept update to date on all steps of the process.
THE BOX!
We had many of you ask about the box and now is the time we will share the look of the top of the box. The projected box size is 8.250″ H x 5″W x 1.45″ Deep (approximately the size of a Boss Monster box.
So here is what 60+ layers of various pieces of art looks like as a box. Sorry for the writing you might see – when the die layer is pulled up (to show design to you) the dimension notes are visible. So TAH DAH!
Spiffy right? We want the box to be as cool and as fun as the game. Hope you like it. I will post the back as soon as I finish it up. Suggestions welcome of what you think would make friends buy the game if they found it on as shelf.

Some Questions Y’all Had:
1) No wife didn’t find the Frank is Da Devil update as hilarious as me 2) We already have 75% of the rules ready for NMF2: Alien Invasion (KS Jan2018) 3) Yes there is a NMF3 noodling around 4) We will be at BGG Spring, AKON, WACON (if it happens), BGG (Nov) and PAX South 5) We will make a Pre-Order option for NMF available soon (but will not be comparable to having backed the project) and any Pre-Order will ship AFTER backers copies 6) T-Shirt Orders can still be made for the shirt if interested – just message me.
Thank you all for an amazing project and a wonderful run through the woods! Back soon with more info, art and news.
WOW! We can’t believe that there are only less then 4 1/2 hours to go on the Nightmare Forest Kickstarter. All stretch goals have been unlocked and the game is now Over 200% FUNDED. We can’t say enough about our foresters that have help unlocked the amazing Circus and Holiday/Famous Zombie Animals.
With time winding down on the Kickstarter, please share with your friends so more people can get lost in the forest filled with creepy zombie animals. You are ALL awesome!
Well Foresters after running and running for the last month we have accomplished many goals and created a lot of great success. We are in the final 24 hours of the campaign and as of this writing we are just a little over $400 from the final stretch goal.
As stated in the last update, we will be adding the over-sized autographed cards to all Kickstarter deliveries. After the last update, some of you sent in some suggestions and we work hard to listen. If we break the last stretch goal, we will be able to unveil the mystery in the shadows below …and barring any issue with including it into manufacturing of the game, we will add it to all copies.
If, for some reason, we just cannot include it into the game – we will make sure it is one of the voting choices for over-sized cards. We will make the art that is under the boxes on the play mat a voting choice as well.
We cannot promise 100%, but we promise that we will do everything we can, without causing an delays with the game, to get it included if we break that last stretch goal.
FRANK!!!!!
Those of you who have met us have heard the story about “Frank – Da Devil!” I (Dave) thought I would share a fun little story here near the end of the campaign. When I met my wife she had this pug/beagle mix named Frank. Frank does not really like men and would just give me regular stink-eye.
So, I started referring to him as “Frank da Devil” and his cat friend Kitten as “Da Minion.” This has been an ongoing joke in the house and even lead to turning Frank into one of the zombies.
The more people who know (wait that’s not quite right)
Knowing is half funded (no that’s not quite it either)
Share and share for stretch goals (hmmmmmm)
Well you get what we mean! Thank you all so much for your continued support and belief in this project. Dare we call you fans? If you think of yourself as one, please visit BoardGameGeek.com and click the heart on the Nightmare Forest page and show that you are a fan.
Frank thanks you too, but he thinks you have food.
Have an amazing Monday and I look forward to seeing you all (most of you intact) at the car!
