Hello there,
All the games and artbooks have finished printing, yay! :D So here's a...
...Freight Shipping Report By Hub
Asia - Games are already on the way, if not at the warehouse already. Shipping to backers will commence once the hub has cleared down their current projects.
Australia & EU - Games are all ready for collection from the printers, we're just waiting to hear from both of these hubs, but the games should still be on the boats in August.
UK + RoW - The UK shipment is booked aboard a ship leaving China this week. ETA into UK soil is 7th September. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by Gamesquest for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where Gamesquest is up to with their other projects at that time.
US - The US shipment is booked aboard a ship leaving China this week. ETA into US soil is 12th September. It takes a couple of weeks to clear customs and to be sorted by QML for fulfilment, so hopefully packages will be shipping out by the end of September and into early October, but this will depend where QML is up to with their other projects at that time.
Canada - As per US above, but the Canadian shipment will have to ship up from the US QML hub first, so will likely take a couple of weeks longer.
As always, I implore your continuing patience as we move through fulfilment. My personal feeling is that we ship out games from their respective hubs as soon as is possible for each hub rather than artificially holding up the process so everyone gets their games at a similar time. Over all of our 100% successfully delivered campaigns so far, each hub has had a go at being the first to arrive, so if one hub gets it before the others, no biggie – it just means the rest of us get to watch unboxing videos and read session reports whilst we eagerly wait. :)
Last Chance for Add-Ons!
Please note: thefollowing is no longer an option for ordersfrom the Asia hub sincefulfilment is imminent...
As freight shipping is commencing, this is now your very last chance to add on anything you might have missed – like the miniatures or artbook/promo cards – to your order in the same shipment. Any future orders will have to have shipping paid for separately. So have a last peek at what's available at our shop link below, and if you see something you like, please email [email protected] and we'll see about adding it to your order (as long as it's still available at your hub):

Art of Kilforth Update 6 - Call of Kilforth MPC Unboxing + Videos + Kreel Manor!

– Thu, Jul 06, 2023 at 06:11:49 AM
Hello there,
Before we begin, for the avoidance of doubt I'll just clarify once again that the Art of Kilforth Artbook is printing alongside Call of Kilforth and its various expansions, so they'll all be shipping out together – basically, the Art of Kilforth Artbook is an add-on to the Call of Kilforth campaign. Just in case you wondered why these updates feature Call of Kilforth so heavily. ;)
Call of Kilforth Unboxing Video!
We're dead excited to unbox the very first Call of Kilforth Mass Production Copy! This is the copy you will be receiving if you backed or pre-ordered the game. And if you didn't, there's still time – just click the link in the description. With the delivery of this MPC, completion of the games and artbooks is going to happen in the next few weeks. Then we just have freight shipping from China, and then it's fulfilment to you guys – I hope you're as excited as I am! :D
It's really cool noseying at all the awesome upcoming games following UK Games Expo, and even lovelier to see our games getting shout-outs from lovely content providers, such as Not Bored Gaming and NinjaGeek Games...
'Wonderful, wonderful card-based games... Always a pleasure to speak with Tristan, he's one of the nicest guys in the industry' – Mark Dainty is one of the nicest guys on YouTube, so this must be true! :D
They just keep on coming – peeps cannot get enough of Kilforth! :D Let us know if we missed any, we're always happy to share quality Kilforth-related content.

Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game
Finally, we're gearing up for the imminent launch of our next game Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game. It delivers an exciting new game system based on Veilwraith but introducing all new loot elements and plot twists. Kreel Manor is highly focussed on sending you through epic card-based dungeon crawls into the shadiest parts of Kilforth. We hope you'll join us on our next exciting journey, and as always, if you'd rather wait until Call of Kilforth delivers first, that's cool too.
Have a ruddy brilliant week – I'm off to check about a million game components, and then sit down and play some beautiful Call of Kilforth! :D
Cheer-oh!

Art of Kilforth Update 5 - UKGE + Printing + Videos + Kreel Manor!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Jun 09, 2023 at 03:00:27 PM
Hello there,
I hope this missive finds you safe, well, and about to embark on a weekend of epic board games – this update is gonna be image heavy, so buckle in...
Printing Is Well Underway!
The mass production copies are rolling! We have some cool photos from the factory to share with you below. The first mass production copy – this is the same as the version that you will receive – will be sent to me in the next few weeks for a final check-over as one last layer of quality assurance. We've already lined up all of our fulfilment hubs in preparation, so freight shipping should proceed smoothly once manufacturing is complete.
UK Games Expo!
What a lovely, lovely weekend! Thanks so much to everyone who came to visit our stand, it was an honour and a delight to speak to so many witty, friendly, and brilliant people, and be able to chat about my games and show off Call of Kilforth and the Art of Kilforth Artbook. My voice still hasn't quite recovered, much to the relief to my family, and though conventions like this can really take it out of you, it was worth every blooming second. We had a good chunk of our Hall or Nothing catalogue available for sale (catalogue! it doesn't seem like two minutes since we first launched Gloom of Kilforth!) – though most of that stock has gone now – and it was a terrific opportunity to greet so many gamers we know and love, and so many more who had never heard of us before. So this is yet another reminder for you to please spread the word about lil' ole Hall or Nothing and rate our games on boardgamegeek if you have the opportunity. :D Check out this wicked vid Francesca made of the stand coming together (to the sublime Gunship's Ghost):
The mighty lifeform that is Mark Chaplin paid us a visit too!
Gloom of Kilforth Top 10!
Always lovely to see Gloom Of Kilforth feature in Top 10 lists – this one is from the mighty and mighty lovely Adam Smith of Rolling Solo Board Game Community:
And here is the charming Canje Studios AKA Derrick Daniel giving us an epic play-through of Gloom of Kilforth, this time against the tragic Abbess of Penance – and as Dan Roberts says 'Derrick and Kilforth go together like peanut butter and jelly'! :D
And that's all for now – all that remains is to say have a lovely, lovely weekend, and to strap in and stay tuned for our next launch for Kreel Manor: The Dungeon Crawl Card Game...
Art of Kilforth Update 4 - Printing, Surveys + Videos from Ricky Royal and One Stop!
over 1 year ago
– Mon, May 15, 2023 at 06:07:55 AM
Hello there,
I hope you're having a brilliant start to the week!
Progress!
Here are the TLDR bullet points on our current progress:
Printing is underway and the factory will send me the first Mass Production Copy for inspection next month (this is identical to what you will be receiving)
Manufacturing is estimated to complete in July, so we can expect the games and artbooks to start landing at fulfilment hubs worldwide in August
Surveys are locked and loaded so we're all set and hurtling towards that summer shipping. If you're one of the few who still haven't completed your survey: I urge you to do so asap as it would be such a shame to miss out on the amazing world of Kilforth, and as our returning backers will attest, our products tend to sell through very quickly once they've landed. If you're having any payment issues or anything, as always, please contact us directly: [email protected]
Photos!
Whilst you're waiting for this beautiful beast to arrive, here are some photos of the pre-production copy of Call of Kilforth to salivate over in the meantime:
Videos!
We also have brilliant video content for you today – since the pre-production copy has already arrived, the legendary Ricky Royal has delivered an awesome play-through series for Call of Kilforth for us all...
Call of Kilforth - Part 1 - Overview and Gameplay
The legend that is Ricky Royal gets his teeth into the very first copy of Call of Kilforth in this exclusive play-through video:

And the mighty One Stop Co-op Shop dives back into Shadows of Kilforth in this play-through... 'Can't believe how much fun I had with this one! Why don't I play this more often??' – Colin
UK Games Expo!
Fri, 2 Jun 2023 – Sun, 4 Jun 2023 sees the UK's answer to GenCon take place, and we will be there in our usual spot at Stand 1-1016 offering a welcoming smile and fist bump to any and all-comers. We might have have some special UKGE offers, so be sure to pop by the stand and say hello if you're coming.
And that's all for now, have a bloomin' fantastic week – and let our very own Francesca L Hall play you out with yet another sumptuous suite of music from the world of Kilforth, along with a visual reminder of the gorgeous images you'll be seeing if you opted for the exclusive Art of Kilforth Artbook...
Cheers!

Art of Kilforth Update 3 - Surveys are out! Files are submitted!
almost 2 years ago
– Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at 06:42:41 AM
Hello there,
I hope this missive finds you safe and well and that you've had a nice, busy week, heading on into a super relaxing weekend, hopefully filled with some tasty gaming too...
Files are submitted! Surveys are out!
We've been beavering away behind the scenes to make this campaign delivery coincide with our Call of Kilforth campaign and, as Frodo once said, it's done! The pre-production copy of the Artbook has arrived, corrections have been made, typos hopefully nuked, images attributed, and final files submitted. So the files for the Artbook (and Dark Call expansion) are off to print already. We're waiting for a more concrete completion date and we will keep you posted, naturally, but for now we are still on track for delivery to you guys this summer.
Everyone should have received their BackerKit survey link now, so please double-check your junk mail if you haven't received yours yet. If it's not there, please email us and we'll resend your link: [email protected]
It's dead easy to fill in, but please email us if you have any issues at all. This is also a great opportunity to pick up any games or expansions you might have missed from most of our other campaigns too. And if you already pledged for Call of Kilforth in our previous Kickstarter campaign, please email us ([email protected]) for a shipping discount – simply pop "Artbook Shipping Discount" in the Subject Header for your email. And whilst we work very long hours to design, publish, and deliver these beautiful games, and to respond to all of your comments, messages, and emails as soon as we are able to – please bear in mind that there are only two of us, so kindly be patient whilst awaiting responses from us. :)
Please try to complete your BackerKit pledge manager in the next two weeks, so that we can get this campaign all wrapped up in a nice, neat bow before May. This way we can combine all of your details with the Call of Kilforth campaign freight shipping and fulfilment info, and it will massively cut down on the admin side and allow everything to proceed much more smoothly.
The lovely @SoloPlaythrus solo plays-through #GloomOfKilforth 'I've played this a dozen times already' – check it out:
And that's all for now, have a fantastic weekend! And to play you out on the way, here's our resident composer and piano virtuoso, Francesca Hall, with one of our favourite compositions, Waves:
