I hope you guys are doing great and enjoying your Empire decks!

Your feedback has been overwhelming. It really fills me up and has made this journey well worth taking, and something I can't wait to do again. Speaking of which...

I have some exciting news!

Some of you may already have heard, but I wanted to announce that I will soon be launching a brand new deck on Kickstarter!

The latest edition in the epic, Empire series...

Empire 'Bloodlines' Edition will be live on Kickstarter, Tuesday July 15th.

3pm PDT US
6pm EDT US
11pm UK
7am WST, AU (on the 16th)

If you liked the Empire deck, I think you'll like this too!

I'm so excited, I think it came out looking great and I can't wait to hear what you think.

I'll send you one last message when it's LIVE so feel free to come over check out the project and if you like it, It'd be an honour to have you back on board as a backer as we fight Kickstarter war together again!

Those of you who are already signed up and part of KingsandCrooks.com have had the first sneak peek yesterday. So, for those who haven't, here's a little sneak peek:

"Here I go again on my own...down the only road I've ever known..!"

Have a great weekend!
Lee

Empire 'Bloodlines' edition is the newest deck in the epic, Empire series by Lee McKenzie. Live on Kickstarter, Tuesday July 15th, 3pm PDT.
Hailing from the same bold and powerful story telling design of the originals, 'Bloodlines' stand their ground with a style all of their own while keeping the Empire spirit alive, rushing wildly in it's veins.

Every deck has a story. Empires have a legend. Are you ready ?

Of course we're ready - we already had a topic in place!  (I've merged yours with it.)

We try to keep decks in the PCP to a single topic to make info easier to find later.  Just do a search next time to see if one already exists before making a new one.

Lest we forget, there's also Lee's new Official Company Topic!

The WARRIOR Card Armour is really bad-ass. It would be damn cool to see a "spartan" deck of some sort, with a face for the tuck box....and add that warrior card armour...*BAM*

Thanks for that Rob, I'm amazed. Just hope we make it now! :)

Don't wanna jinx it, but I'm quite sure with that kind of deck, you probably make it with more than enough days to spare.

Thank you Stircrazy76! Yes, I was being sarcastic. Also I do live in Australia. Your powers of observation are admirable.  :)

Your wife is a lucky woman to have a man who can translate the confusing Australian language with such ease.  ;)
