One Deck Dungeon: Relics of the Forge

Created by Asmadi Games

One Deck Dungeon returns with a brand new full expansion! The Forge hungers for fuel, and it will reward your efforts with great power if you satisfy it.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Pledge Manager Next Week, and introducing The Spinner
16 days ago – Mon, Dec 02, 2024 at 04:45:04 PM

The pledge manager has been cleared by BackerKit - but since I will be traveling this week to PAX Unplugged, we've been advised not to open it up wide until I'm home and able to answer questions/deal with any issues. So we will be opening it on Tuesday, December 10. I'll be doing a test of a small number of backers probably Monday, but you should receive a welcome email to the pledge manager either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Meanwhile, I'm finally ready to show off our test version of the newest hero, the Spinner. She's a meteor-shotput mage, which I am confident is a phrase not used before! Our illustrious artist Crowbar was inspired by the Olympics this summer, and this concept was born:



The Spinner accumulates dice (meteors!) spinning around her, until its time to launch them at unsuspecting foes. To use her effectively, you'll need to manage the ebb and flow of her armada of meteor-dice. Still some balancing to be had, but she's a lot of fun! 

If you're at PAX Unplugged this weekend, we're in Booth #3133, and we'll be showing off Relics along with Good Puppers Too, Innovation Ultimate, 1001 Odysseys, and our brand new concept - Mystic Curling Club (Magical Curling, with Witches!). Hope to see some of you there, and excited to finally have the pledge manager set to open! 

Progress, PAX Unplugged, Surveys
22 days ago – Tue, Nov 26, 2024 at 09:22:06 AM

I wanted to share a quick update with you all on where things are at in the World of Dungeon. I hope all of you are having a good Fall - it's been pretty rough here but we're pushing through. 

Surveys / Pledge Manager

First off, apologies that the surveys + pre-orders haven't gone up yet. I just completed the backend work and submitted it to BackerKit for review, so those will start happening as soon as we get approval. We will not be using the Charge Shipping Later option, it's a logistical nightmare.

The Pledge Manager should be pretty simple, but if anything's weird or you have questions, just post a comment and we'll sort it out :)

PAX Unplugged: Booth 3133

Next week we will be at PAX Unplugged, showing off many cool things! We will of course have a prototype copy of Relics of the Forge, and also Good Puppers Too (the new expansion), Innovation Deluxe, 1001 Odysseys, and the sneak preview of Mystic Curling Club (dice-curling, with magic!).

Come say hi if you're there!

Game Progress

Our plan when we started the campaign was to wrap artwork and design in December, that was probably too ambitious, but also things have moved slower due to a lot of non-game factors. I'm very sorry for that, but things are back on track and more work is happening. Art's taking a bit longer than expected, but it is coming out very good.

Let me introduce you to one of Relics' bosses, the Arm Horror:



Why have one weapon when you can have six? And don't forget about that shadowy mandible. It's here to bring you bad times all around. Better roll well! 

On the gameplay side, we've been scheming up the other relics (especially the ones from the Relic Riddles!) and will be testing them out at PAX next week. We also hope to get back to some gameplay/dev streams in December. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are feasting this week, Happy Random Week in November to the rest of the world!

Working on Stuff, Pledge Manager Dates, Plushies, and PAX U!
about 2 months ago – Tue, Oct 22, 2024 at 07:30:32 AM

Hello friends! We have been catching up on a lot of stuff since the campaign completed, but I wanted to check in with you all about our timelines and progress.

Pledge Manager: Will be opening the first week in November. I need to do some backend things with regard to shipping, we will be trying out BackerKit's "charge shipping later" feature which will allow us to set shipping prices when we get them at the completion of production (in the Spring). Freight/etc prices are wild right now but should come down after the holidays. The quotes I have right now are not what anyone wants to be paying!

Work, Streams, Adventures: Took a couple weeks off of thinking about Dungeon to re-clear the brainspace after the campaign ended, but I'm back to scheming and development this week. We will do a couple streams in November to show off things as they're built. In particular, we'll have cool art to show :)

PAX Unplugged: We have a large booth at PAX U in December, and will have a prototype of Relics on hand to show off to people! If you're attending, you can come see it. Their Expo Map hasn't been released yet, but we're right in the middle of the hall. Frankly, it seems like they built the whole thing around us, the center of the gaming universe. Very kind of them!

Plushies: The campaign for Floral Frolic's cool plushies ends TODAY - if you backed our project and back theirs before it ends, you'll get the free Foxfire pin! Also, they're cool people and plushies are fun. 

Thank you all again for your support! We can't make games without people to play them, as it turns out, so you all are a very important part of the process. Happy random warm-wave in October week, if you're up in the Northeast like we are. 

Stretch Goal Unlocked: Bonus Promo Hero! And Overtime Mode
3 months ago – Tue, Oct 01, 2024 at 01:58:21 PM

\o/ We did it! 3600 backers just now, thank you all very much for the last day push.

With this...we have unlocked an additional promo hero for the Abyssal Trove (and of course, every Vault that contains the Trove). But who is she? We...can't tell you yet! It's a secret. There is still some contractual business to be done before we can reveal her, but we are pretty excited about it :)

We'll be revealing more about her and various other things (and of course more playtesting!) during the months following the campaign, so stay tuned.

Overtime Mode

A new feature on BackerKit is overtime mode! You may have noticed Backer Trains during the campaign when many people joined at once. Well - as long as there's a train going, the campaign will not end. Starting at 6:00PM, any new backer or any backer increasing their pledge will extend the campaign to ten minutes from their moment of pledginess. Pledginess is indeed a real word. 

Happy End Day, everyone! 

Last Days! Last Riddle! Curling?
3 months ago – Sat, Sep 28, 2024 at 02:12:48 PM

Hello friends! We are in the home stretch, the last floor of the dungeon, but there is still adventuring to do.

Friday we had our last in-campaign Dev Stream:




where we took the Foxfire for another spin with the Luminous Chime. Both a little too good? Perhaps! This is why we playtest.

We'll do some dev streams in the coming months, we haven't quite worked out a schedule yet but it's a lot of fun testing with friends in chat.

Riddle #10 Answer

This was another tough one! Three of the four books had Green words, and one had a Red word. Green means go, Red means stop! The final riddle, the boss riddle, is up now. It's linked at the end of this post.



Stretch Goals and Post-Campaign Pre-orders

We're still cruising through stretch goals, and there's more we'd love to do with more support. The reality is, this is not like most campaigns where all the stretch goals are sitting in a folder somewhere and instantly discovered fully ready-for-print when reached. We do stretch goals for things we'd like to do, with proper funding. So we will definitely commit to the stretch goals we reach during the campaign, and anything beyond that we'd *like* to do, but it'll depend on how pre-orders go in the pledge manager phase.

A reminder: Any pledge (even $1!) counts towards stretch goals. So tell your friends :)

Stream Schedule

Tuesday afternoon will be our last in-campaign stream, it'll be at 3PM Eastern. The campaign ends at 6PM Eastern! 

Also on twitch.tv/asmadigames, on Monday afternoon at 2:30 Eastern we'll be doing an Innovation Ultimate unboxing to show off the insert, the cards, and such. 

And on Sunday at 4PM, another Curling game! It's the first weekend of our Sunday league, and I'll be streaming it again to our Twitch channel. Who knows, maybe there's even a curling tabletop game on the horizon. 👀
