Greetings, noble knights and esteemed backstabbers!
We have returned from our perilous journey to Game Con Canada! One might say it was a success, even if we encountered a few minor inconveniences on the road. We brought everyone's favorite Roxley games, including Excalibur!
📸 Share Your Game Con Stories!
If you stopped by the Roxley booth, we'd love to hear about your experience and see any photos you might have taken! Tag us on social media and share your tales of triumph (or delightful defeat). And please be sure to comment with your thoughts about the game here on Kickstarter!
⚔️ When Life Imitates Art: A Real Thief Appears!
Speaking of blades and such matters of sharp pointy things, a most unfortunate incident occurred! Someone seemed to take "find Excalibur and cling onto it with all your might" a touch too literally.
Excalibur has a Thief character who's quite good at making things disappear, but we never expected one to show up at our booth! Poof! One of our metal Collector's Edition swords vanished faster than you can say "backstabbery."
While we were disappointed, this did not stop the fun! We borrowed a wooden sword from our Deluxe Edition and continued on our merry way. The irony wasn't lost on us - here we are, teaching people about deception and misdirection, and someone pulled the ultimate sleight of hand on us!
Missed Game Con Canada? Don't worry, next stop is Gen Con! We'll be bringing even more copies... and keeping a closer eye on our metal swords. 👀
🎬 Player Reviews!
Grant and Dani were just 2 (out of 7) people who got to play the game at the Clayshire Castle! But what did they think?! Hear it directly from them:

💬 Listening to Our Round Table
We have read your comments and are bringing your concerns to the round table. We are actively discussing your suggestions and ideas to see what might be viable as we proceed with the campaign. That being said, we want to be clear: Excalibur already has everything it needs to become reality. The funding quests of this campaign are purely about enhancing the already high quality and delivering the most magnificently opulent relic for your collection.
Your feedback helps us make Excalibur the best it can be for everyone, and we love hearing your ideas and excitement in the comments.
🙏 Thank You, Always!
Thank you, always, for your support! Whether you visited us at Game Con, shared the campaign with friends, or simply believed in this project of delightful treachery, you're making the legend of Excalibur come to life.
And remember: If you happen to find a stray Galatine lying around, we know where it belongs! 😉
Keep rollin' sixes!
Team Roxley
Follow us everywhere. Make it weird.
P.S. - To whoever liberated our sword: We hope you're using it for noble purposes... or at least for some amazing mini sword fights.
