Hello there,
Greetings, everyone!
It has been fantastic to see Sublime Dark finally arriving on tables after such a long journey. Thank you to everyone who has shared their excitement, first impressions and photographs with us. Seeing the game out in the world and being played makes all the work worthwhile!
UK, Asia, and Australia fulfilment is now complete!
Fulfilment to the US/Canada, EU, and Rest of the World will continue throughout October, so please do not worry if your rewards have not yet arrived. Games will be landing with more and more backers over the coming weeks.
Thank you again for your patience and support throughout fulfilment. After all the work that has gone into Sublime Dark, it is genuinely wonderful to see it finally reaching you and being played.
I hope you enjoy exploring the darkness!
Cheers,
Tristan
Wyvern Moor has passed £100,000 — Final hours!

Hello there,
Just a quick one from me as our latest game Wyvern Moor has now passed £100,000 on Kickstarter! :O
More than 870 adventurers have joined us so far, and with just over a day remaining, we're into the final hours of the campaign. Wyvern Moor is a standalone dungeon crawl card game for 1–3 players, set in the world of Kilforth and built on the system first introduced in Kreel Manor. You don't need to own any of our previous games to play.
If you've been following the campaign but haven't taken the plunge yet, this is your chance to join us before the Kickstarter ends, tomorrow:
Thank you as always for your incredible support of our games over the years. Seeing Wyvern Moor pass £100,000 has been a pretty amazing way to finish the campaign. :)
And of course, if you'd rather wait until your current Hall or Nothing rewards arrive before jumping into another campaign, that's completely understandable. No pressure from us. :)
Have a splendid week!
Cheers,
Tristan & Francesca Hall or Nothing
Sublime Dark Update 24 — Fulfilment is Underway
about 1 month ago

Hello there,
Fulfilment is Underway
Slow boats are moving slowly, and the games are still scheduled to be landing in September/October, but don't be surprised if you see a handful of backers receive their copies early. I like games to ship out as soon as they're ready, rather than holding orders back until every region is ready to fulfil simultaneously. So if you see someone else receive their game before yours, don't panic, yours is still on the way! :)
Digital Kilforth
Thanks to everyone who joined me on Sunday for our live playthrough of Jarrett Dunn's brilliant fan-made digital version of Gloom of Kilforth. And if you missed the stream, you can now watch the full playthrough on our YouTube channel, link below.
Huge thanks to Jarrett for the ridiculous amount of work that's gone into bringing Kilforth to life digitally, and to everyone who joined us on Discord and YouTube for the evening. ❤️
I had a lot of fun, so if there's enough interest I might do another. In any case, here's to more Kilforth Digital adventures to come...
Sublime Dark Update 23 — Early Fulfilment Begins! + Official Errata
about 2 months ago
– Fri, Jul 31, 2026 at 06:55:39 AM
Hello there,
Fulfilment Begins!
The very first copies of Sublime Dark have started arriving on doorsteps!
Please do manage expectations though. These are just the earliest parcels, and most fulfilment hubs, particularly in Europe and North America, still have a long way to go before deliveries begin. For now, let's just be happy (and perhaps a little jealous!) of the lucky few already getting to explore Blackfell. :D
As your copies arrive, we'd love to see your photos, first impressions and unboxing pictures, so please do share them with us. :)
And please remember to use spoiler tags where appropriate so everyone can enjoy discovering Blackfell for themselves!
Sublime Dark Errata
No game of this size and scale ever reaches print completely untouched by human error. Despite extensive playtesting, editing and proofreading, a handful of corrections became necessary after the games had already shipped.
Delves:
The Doom value for each Delve should be 10 minus that Delve's Tier:
Tier 0 = Doom 10
Tier 1 = Doom 9
Tier 2 = Doom 8
Tier 3 = Doom 7
Tier 4 = Doom 6
You can still play using the printed Doom values if you prefer, but doing so will make the game slightly easier.
Relics:
Harpy's Claw: "Concerned" should instead read "Disturbed".
Eye of Umbra: should read "Exhaust: Play 2 extra Soul cards this Caro Phase."
Anyone who's ever named a file "FINAL_Version5_SuperFinal_THISONE" will understand my pain! :D Unfortunately, I only caught these after the games had already left the factory, so we weren't able to include a printed errata sheet.
I've attached a PDF containing the complete errata and notes for easy reference:
The errata PDF also includes a few optional gameplay variants that we've been enjoying, if you'd like to make your adventures in Blackfell even more challenging... :D
Now We Wait...
For everyone still waiting for their parcel, thank you once again for your patience. Many more copies will be landing over the coming weeks, and I can't wait to hear what you think once you've had the chance to dive in.
Cheers!
Tristan

Sublime Dark Update 22 — Freight Shipping Underway!
2 months ago

Hello there,
The Dark is coming — printing is complete! :D
Shipping Timelines
US & Canada: The US/Canada shipment has already been collected and is now making its steady way across the ocean, due to arrive in the US on 11th August.
It will then take a few weeks to clear customs before our US fulfilment team collects, sorts, picks and ships the games. We expect parcels to start arriving in backers' hands in early September, or hopefully even sooner. Canadian backers' parcels should begin arriving shortly afterwards.
UK, EU & Rest of World: The games are already on their way to their regional fulfilment hubs, and we're aiming for deliveries to begin in early September, or potentially even late August, depending on where you're based.
We'll post another update once fulfilment is underway, so you'll know when to keep an eye on your tracking emails.
Wyvern Moor launches on Kickstarter this August
As always, if you'd rather wait until your games have arrived before looking at our next project, that's completely understandable! As a two-person company, though, we have to keep the momentum going, so while these games are making their way around the world we'll be cracking on with the next adventure.
Wyvern Moor is the next stand-alone game using the same fantasy dungeon-crawling system as Kreel Manor, and launches on Kickstarter this August. If you'd like to follow along, you can do so here:
