How-To Graphic / Upcoming Q&A
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 15, 2019 at 08:16:45 AM

Happy Friday Slashers,

How To Graphic:

We've added a quick overview / How-To graphic to the story of the campaign to explain mechanics and gameplay for those who are new. For OG Slashers, some of this will seem repetitive, but keep reading as there are definitely a lot of new layers to the game with supplies, Final Scenes, and the Slasher Meter as well as considering you're now in the shoes of a survivor being stalked by Tall Oaks' Slashers.

Upcoming Q&A:

The Team will be having a live Q&A on our Facebook this coming Wednesday, March 20th, at 5PM EST. We'll have a demo board on hand to answer questions and walk folks through the game as well as just take any general questions like, "pasta or pizza..." which is easy... "BOTH... TOGETHER." :)

Just visit our Facebook page at the time of the Q&A and you'll be able to find the live session.

If you won't be able to make the Q&A or are not on Facebook, don't worry. We'll be recording the whole session and will be putting it on our YouTube afterward as well as posting it in an update right here on Kickstarter and in the story of our campaign.

We're closer then ever to unlocking our next stretch goal, so let's keep pushing through the weekend.

We also have some new press and reveals dropping next week to help stir up some more momentum.

For now, enjoy your weekend.

Have questions? Leave them in the comments area and we'll be right on top of it.

Meet the Survivors!

Hey Slashers,

We're getting close to unlocking our first stretch goal character JOHNNY, and with that we thought we'd let you learn a little more about the main characters of the game. And what better way than to show off their profile cards:

We currently have some new press going out over the next few days. We'll also have some new content and videos up on the campaign page later this week. We're also working on scheduling a Q&A session with the team within the week, so be on the look out for that announcement.

Until then, we should be looking at unlocking JOHNNY within the next few days (fingers crossed) and then we start pushing towards the next character... plus... some possible reveals of new add-ons :)

Talk soon, Slashers!

New Character Reveal!
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 08, 2019 at 07:58:08 PM

Hey Slashers,

Now that we've crossed the $35K mark, we're unveiling the first of our stretch goal characters, Johnny. He's a bit of a loner... no wait... a rebel. And he's ready to let out his rebel yell and get the hell out of town.

We're starting to pick up again and making our way towards our next stretch goal.

And after some nice write ups from Bloody Disgusting and Daily Dead, we also just got a nice shout out from Ghastly Grinning...

"While we’ve seen a ton of licensed product head our way, the real winners are the creators of original IP and Mixtape Massacre is one of the best of the best. Using traditional slasher tropes and mixing it with the idea of popular music from the era, it’s proven to be one of the best and most fun of all of the relatively new horror titles. Even luckier for us, Mixtape Massacre has officially announced a sequel and we can be part of the genesis." Full article here

We're currently at MonsterMania in New Jersey, but as always we'll be checking in with updates and new reveals. We're also working on our first Q&A and should have that scheduled sometime next week.

Have a great night slashers (or morning) and talk soon.

First Stretch Goal Unlocked!
about 5 years ago – Thu, Mar 07, 2019 at 05:10:04 AM

We're just about to finish out the first 24 hours of our campaign and already we've hit our funding goal and just passed our first stretch goal.

This first stretch goal is purely for vanity reasons ;).

Anyone who remembers from the last campaign for our expansion knows that this stretch goal gave an awesome spot printing finish to the reds on our box, making them raised and shiny. As horror fans and board game collectors, stuff like this goes a long way when wanting to make the product LOOK as cool as it plays.

We're currently sitting around the $32,000 mark, and when we hit $35,000 we will be showing off the first of our new characters for the game. Looking forward to starting to crush these stretch goals.

Thank you all for an amazing first 24 hours. Let's keep the momentum going and welcome so more folks to Tall Oaks.

 Slashers we can't say how awesome it is to see all the excitement and support brought to this campaign in it's first 9 hours.
 

We just hit our goal for the project and are already headed into unlocking stretch goals. Let's keep up the excitement and start unlocking some of the cool additions we have planned for the game!

We've had questions about adding base games and other products not available during the campaign to your pledge. These will be available as add-ons for International Backers post Kickstarter in our pledge manager, Backerkit. (US backers, just head to our website mixtapemassacre.com for any of our current products).
