Eight years ago I walked through the doors of a converted warehouse on the edge of Saint Paul and made my way through a back staircase to the still unfinished second floor. I wandered around a bit before I got to a set of doors with a single sheet of paper taped to the door with the words “Leder Games” printed on it. Inside the bare office, there were four desks facing each other. I hauled in my home computer and a few books and set up camp on Patrick’s right side. Though the office didn’t inspire much confidence, I couldn’t believe my luck. I had somehow found my way into a position at one of the most exciting studios in tabletop.

Take's designer, Ted, has decided to move on from the studio and onto his next grand adventure. He will be bringing Take with him. Due to this, we are canceling this crowdfunding campaign. We wish him the very best!

Hey everyone! Josh here, designer of the Homeland Expansion. We’re getting close to the end of development, so I wanted to release another Print and Play. This will be the last one before release. This one is content-complete—it includes everything in the Homeland Expansion, the Squires & Disciples Deck, and the Homeland Hirelings Pack.

Compared to the previous Print and Play, it now includes The Gorge Map, Marsh Map, new Landmarks, and new Vagabonds. That said, it’s still missing some art, and there’s a touch of development left to do, which I’ll talk about later in this diary. Notably, even though the art on the Gorge Map looks done, it’s not—it’s still the original placeholder art from when Sam was developing it. Kyle is working on it right now.

So with that, let’s dig into the state of the factions!
