Remember our last blog post? Great. (Seriously, if you can’t remember it: Read here) From the great footage we created a few weeks ago and a horde of acolytes we locked up in the basement for video editing, we produced A PRELIMINARY TRAILER!

It contains flames, dragons, priests, chainsaws, and a flowerpot* and it is available to all of our newsletter subscribers**.

And now, without further ado, enjoy our preliminary trailer.

* It does not contain any of the following: flames, dragons, priests, chainsaws, flowerpots
** It is available to anyone, but I’d really appreciate you to subscribe to our newsletter, so we can reach you, as soon as our awesome, magical Kickstarter campaign starts

Sola Scriptura

As mentioned earlier we are aiming for a kickstarter campaign to fund our production costs. And what would a kickstarter campaign be without an awesome video? Exactly, not much. So we are in the process of writing a script.

Note of shame: Guess who managed to write a blog post over a month ago AND forgot to publish it. Yes, it was me. The good news is, there will be another blogpost shortly

It is astonishingly difficult to plan a video trailer for a board game. First there was the logistic challenge of finding all the actors and the equipment. Then, someone needed to write a script. We needed props, to build a mood. Finally, we had to find a location.

And as always we are ever so thankful for our network. Within the last 2 weeks…

we found an actual church, that allows us to film there.
we had 6 people agree to help us out as actors and helping hands on set
we can borrow clothing from a friendly LARP association. Big thanks to Engonien e.V.. Check them out for (German) mid-/high-fantasy, mid-power LARP conventions.

So everything is ready, right? Wait, someone still has to write the script …. and this is how I decided to procrastinate writing the script with writing this blogpost.

An epic relaunch

Habeamus has gone a long way from the initial concept stage in October 2015 to the very polished prototype print run that you see all over this website. Perseverance certainly was our biggest challenge

It is written:

11 They had much more work than they could handle, 12 And for their ignorance or lack of wisdom, 13 They started creating the Game of money and cards. 14 And the people saw it as a stupid idea. 15 And they themselves saw it was a stupid idea. 16 And still, they did it. 17 And they were lead to success. 18 They stood before the people on a marketplace, 19 and they made millions of talents on this marketplace known as Kickstarter.

– Book of the Creators of Habeamus, Chapter 27, 11 – 19

All smirky comments aside, we thought about it more than once to just abandon the project, to save time, to save money, to save effort. But we never really could accept that, so we started meeting weekly in mid-2018 to go one baby step at a time.

And here we are. With a brand new website, with an extremely polished prototype print run and plans to start a kickstarter campaign for production costs in the 3rd quarter of 2019.
