Mage Wars Academy / Re: How do I order the new expansions for Academy?
« on: January 02, 2019, 02:43:09 PM »
They are out-of-stock on the retail side (retailers didn't stock enough of them). They will be back in-stock in a couple of weeks everywhere, and we will be launching a bundle on our web shop by the end of the week.

I know that Dice Tower Con has sold out in the past (and may be already, I’m not sure), so I would recommend getting a badge in advance to attend.
Concerning the Academy expansions, I just received word last week that they have gone into manufacturing. The first two have been solicited to distribution for launch in October this year. Based on timing, the second two expansions will likely be held for launch in Spring 2019.
I’ll be reaching out to the Arcane Duels team to begin work on previews and videos after I return from Origins Game Fair, so we’ll start seeing cards and information posting starting in August. It’s later than I anticipated earlier in the year, but I have a number of items I’ve been working on (including the ambassador program). I still need to get approval on a number of things, but I hope to have more to share soon.
Anticipate a stream of updates coming on the Mage Wars FB page and we’ll be “leaking” some items as soon as the next few weeks.

Robin,
If you're attending Dice Tower Con in Orlando the week of July 4th, we'll be there and I can hook you up with some Mage Wars promos. If not, we're getting a new promo pack around that will be available on the website after convention season (probably October timeframe).

Due to past struggles with delivering when we say we're going to deliver, I'm not starting any spoilers --nor am I announcing anything until the print files are actually at the printer and I have an estimated date of arrival of the final product.
We have plans to have 4 Mage Wars Academy mages released this year. Dates for these mages are still unknown as final development is still in process.
Current plans are to work with Arcane Duels for spoiler videos of different cards in addition to showing them off via social media. We also plan to send all card art files to Grga for inclusion with his spellbook builder as each set is released.

General Discussion / Re: The future of Mage Wars
« on: January 16, 2018, 12:02:26 PM »you're right isel, I'm afraid the first thing we'll hear about the new academy extension´s will be a picture on a merchant page on the internet, like last year.
Our policy at this time is that we don't announce a new product until the files have been sent to our manufacturer. That equates to approximately 3-4 months before the retail launch.
This is due to times in the past where we said "XYZ is coming in Spring" and then Spring comes and goes.

Well this thread has certainly been a doozy! I’m going to start off with a few quick facts, so everyone can see things from a bit different perspective:
1. More Mage Wars branded product has released from Nov 2016 to Nov 2017 than ANY previous year.
2. Arcane Wonders as a company is 3 official employees (soon to announce a 4th)
3. There are absolutely no plans to sell the Mage Wars license
4. Here is the convention schedule we’ve done the past few months:
Essen Spiele (Germany): October 26th - 29th
Unrivaled Tournament Finale (Las Vegas): October 27th - 29th
Southern Hobby Retail Expo (Tennessee): November 5th - 7th
BGG Con (Texas): November 15th - 19th
PAX Unplugged (Pennsylvania): November 17th - 19th
Dice Tower Cruise (Florida): December 2nd - 7th
To put things bluntly, I've personally been averaging about a week in-office between each show, so there hasn't been a lot of time to work on side-projects. The focus has been getting product made, making sure we're advertising games & expansions as they launch, and then moving onto the next game in the lineup.
The Dice Tower Cruise is the last show of 2017, and I will be in-office until the New York Toy Fair in February, and GAMA Trade Show in March. During the next few months I plan on getting things up-to-speed and moving forward with plans for 2018.
CONCERNING THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
This year we suspended the ambassador program while we updated the website, and have taken this opportunity to set up the framework to improve the program to better support our active ambassadors moving forward. During this time period, however, we have continued supporting our ambassador events; recent examples are the recent MACE event, and the events being hosted in the UK.
The new program will support ambassadors of Arcane Wonders products that are going out into their community or hosting events at conventions. We will have more information after the convention season is over, and we are in the offices, updates coming by the end of January.
CONCERNING THE SPELLBOOK BUILDER / APP
We’ve begun conversation with Grga and it is our current plan to use the SpellbookBuilder.com fan-supported platform moving forward. The goal is to provide all the image assets for all future sets to Grga for implementation. We will not be updating the other spellbook builder that has been hosted, it has already been removed from our current website. There has been lapse in communication here, that I apologize for, and I'll be re-initiating contact and making sure that Grga gets everything that is needed.
Unfortunately, the App has always been a major issue for us (outside the earliest parts of its implementation). We have learned a lot about how we are not an app company, we are a board game publishing company. The Mage Wars app will be removed from iOs and Android app stores in January, if not sooner.
CONCERNING UPCOMING SETS, MARKETING, ETC.
We have four (4) new Mage Wars Academy mage expansions planned for release in 2018. I'm not going to share what they are, or really anything else... but as soon as I have manufacturing confirmation, I'll be sharing a full-release schedule for 2018 (with dates for each upcoming product).
I don't have a ton more to share here, but I wanted to touch on a couple of items:
1. We approached the Arcane Duels team to do the previews and spoilers for Forcemaster and Warlord Academy expansions --we feel they did a tremendous job, and current plans are to have them do the previews and spoilers for the 2018 Academy releases (assuming they're up for it again).
2. We have a lot of passion for Mage Wars. It it the product line that got Arcane Wonders started as a board game publisher, and it will always have a special status for us. There are big plans and changes in the works for the future and we'll be having a lot more discussion about Mage Wars in 2018.
Now, I've got to pack for the Dice Tower Cruise because I fly out tomorrow! I'll keep an eye on here tomorrow, but after that, it's unlikely I'll be able to respond until I return on the 11th.
