Welcome to the Secret War

Inner Kingdom Games presents to the Shadowfist Community two new documents!

First up, the new, official Shadowfist Rulebook!
Michael Stadermann and his team worked tirelessly to produce the most comprehensive and complete rulebook to date! This document is so thorough that, when used with the errata list, replaces the FAQ!

Next, the official Tournament Rules!
This document will tell you everything you could ever need or want to know about how to run a tournament, Proving Ground League, or draft event!

Also included:
The updated tournament report form, complete with all official tournament types and formats. I've provided this in both pdf and doc formats.

Shadowfist Customers,

As we transition from Z-Man Games/Shadowfist Games to Inner Kingdom Games, a few items on the website will undergo several changes. The big one right now is the store. For the time being, if you are interested in purchasing products listed on the store page, please contact Zev at zman@zmangames.com. Once we fix the bugs in the store, we'll link Zev's products to his Z-Man site and we'll post our own Inner Kingdom Games merchandise. Please be patient until the transition is complete. Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement and the good wishes as we attempt to do new and wonderful things with and for the game.

The weekend started off with the obligatory demo event on Thursday morning. I prefer to start my conventions with the demo so that any participants have the option to compete in any of the later tournaments. More time to play, practice and decide that the game is right for them!
For Origins 2009, we started up three new players from Beverly Hills, Florida, two brothers and their friend. Our fledgling secret warriors are Jesse Joseph Lambert, Devan Landry and Matt Cruickshank.
Anyone in the Beverly Hill, FL area who would like a few new players should contact me so I can give you their e-mail addresses for contact.

Today kicks off Columbus, Ohio's Origins Game Fair!

To the Shadowfist Community:

We are excited to share the news that we, Braz King and Daniel Griego, have founded a new company, Inner Kingdom Games Ltd., to carry on the Shadowfist tradition.

Inner Kingdom Games will be looking for every opportunity to support the Shadowfist community and to expand and enhance the game. We want to walk that fine line between satisfying the (often competing) needs and priorities of diehard players and making the game as easy to get into as possible. We have no illusions that we will be able to make everyone completely happy all of the time, but we look forward to bringing the fun and camaraderie of Shadowfist to as many people as we can!

As the first quarter of the new year comes to a close, it's time to present the current standings for the 2009 Secret War Leaders.

Congratulations to all players so far. Keep playing and earn those points!

Cheers,

~Daniel
