Quotes (from this video)
- The Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit goes live September 29th.
- The limited edition is truly limited to the Kickstarter. That's all we're doing.
- It's my favorite game of ours that we make. Although King's Gambit might take that over.
- You bought the game. You play it however you want.
- My favorite Steven story about this project is uh we were trying to get prototypes ready for Gen Con. And we wanted them to look, you know, good. And so, we were going to 3D print all the miniatures cuz we had again done all that legwork ahead of time. They'd been approved for the prototype for Gen Con and all this. But we had to get them done. So, we were looking at like an outside service and Steven says, 'For the money that it would cost us to get this printed by an outside service for like we were getting like six prototype copies, we can buy three sort of top-end Bamboo Home 3D printers and I'll just do it.' So, that's what we did. And he had he converted his like half of his office into this 3D server farm and he took some video and it's like it was they were running like 24/7 spitting out these miniatures. It was crazy.
