    I will confirm venue and entrance fees and agenda as soon as I get the details. 8-}
  • No I mean, is it Durban? CT? PE? Or in Joburg by a nice swimming pool? :P

    In honour of ICON by the Sea this year, we have decided to create a limited edition run of this special event card. Only 100 of these will be printed and you will have to come to ICON by the Sea to get it.

    The theme is intended to be in line with being near the sea, so it is time to Awaken the Kraken. See you there.

    Edit: We changed the card to be more in line with being at the sea.
  • Hey, what is Aa? Is that the new symbol for "all"?

    Hey, yep it is the new symbol for always ... the infinity symbol was causing too much confusion. 8-}

  • Looks like you'd be able to fit saying "All" on there.
  • We could but we have the following Symbols used to prevent ambiguity or misreading:

    -- Aa for Always
    -- Ee for Even
    -- Oo for Odd
    -- Dd for Doubles

    So far those symbols have worked well and doesn't require to make the font smaller to fit in some of the other words. We are also working on other activation symbols ... but that is Hush-Hush. 8-}
  • The periodic symbol style "icon" is actually quite confusing. It think some other kind of iconography could have tied them all together better. Maybe there's nothing wrong with just be verbose: those aren't very long words.

    I am unaware of any confusion ever in the games that have been played thus far. Even though the words are long, it will break the styling of the cards and I would prefer not to do that.

  • By confusing I meant unintuitive, sorry bad choice of words :) If people could understand it without being told it it would be best. But yeah until I have a better idea I can't really suggest them :)

    I have updated the events and times and costs. Do you think we can get this "stickied" until it is over?

    There will also be a Battle Heritage Event - http://www.battleheritage.co.za/event/fight-a-knight-battle-heritage-sa-at-icon-by-the-sea-2016/

    The demo units have arrived for ICON by the sea. These are still the old logo as they were ordered at the end of February and we are looking at a box re-design ... so in essence these are one of a kind items. 8-}
