We’ve been hard at work bringing A Decade of Plunder to life, and we want to keep you in the loop on where everything stands. We've made massive headway on manufacturing, finalized our print files, and navigated a tricky production issue. Be sure to scroll down for some images of the WIP including some pages for the book!
Miniatures & Ships are Stacking Up!
Manufacturing has been moving right along. We have already printed thousands of miniatures and cast hundreds of Corbeta ships.
The Book is Finished
Throughout the year, our team has been paying careful attention to the state of the game overall when it comes to balance and force building. We took some extra time recently to finalize a few important changes to commanders and units, making absolutely sure those updates will make it into the final text. With that all finalized, all of the print product is completely finished and is currently being prepped to head to the printers this week.
A Summer Roadblock
As some of you may already know, we did hit a bit of a squall earlier this summer. All of our 3D printers mysteriously stopped working at once. After some deep troubleshooting, we discovered it was an environmental issue caused by the intense Florida heat and humidity interacting with our materials. We worked closely with our resin manufacturer and have been able to retool our resin formula to solve the issue. Thankfully, it worked, and our minis are coming out better than ever too!
Shipping Timeline
Dealing with the resin and humidity issues did freeze most of our physical production for about a month. Thankfully, the issue is entirely resolved. Production is back online and chugging right along. Despite the month long delay, we are still on track to begin shipping this year.
Thank you all for your continued patience, support, and enthusiasm for this project. We can't wait to get these ships and crews onto your tables. We'll be back with another update as soon as we have more news to share!

Hello Backers!
We are pleased to report that we are well into the manufacturing process and production is moving along very well across the board.
Here is a quick look at our current progress:
English Models: We are producing the models one faction at a time. We have already produced the majority of the English models.
Corbeta: We have currently produced over 200 corbetas.
Ship Cards: We have officially received the completed ship cards from the printer.
The Book: The book has just gone into the final proofreading stage. Once this review is complete, it will be heading straight to print.
We will continue to inform you as manufacturing moves forward and we move closer to fulfillment. Thank you for your continued support!
Fair winds, and following seas

We are stunned! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORT! We funded quickly, smashed every stretch goal, and now, thanks to all of you, the Blood & Plunder world has nearly doubled in size!
We are already working to get this in your hands as fast as possible. As we will have our noses to the grindstone, please be sure to send any future questions or customer service issues to [email protected].
Bonus Content
Since we blew past our last stretch goal in a big way, we have decided to throw in a last minute bonus!
We will produce a new mini-expansion covering Oliver Cromwell’s Western Design! This expansion will feature new units, factions, historic commanders, and scenarios to expand your game even further!
Shipping & Final Thanks!
We haven’t forgotten that we owe you shipping quotes! The European friendly option we added made that a bit trickier to figure out and we want to be sure to give you accurate information. We are still working toward that and will have it in a future update very soon.
We really can’t thank you all enough for all of your amazing support! We have the best gaming community on the planet!! Thanks again :)

Even though we don't have any more stretch goals planned just yet...if we keep blasting forward we may just have a little extra reward for you all at the end! ;)
