WOW! We sure have come a long way since Origins Game Fair. We’ve created and completed all new stretch goals, got over 3000% funded, and added whole new products to enjoy!
Make sure you get your upgrades and add-ons put into your order before we close up. Some of the items like the metal cards WON’T be available after this campaign so don’t miss out!
Let your friends know about the game and see if they want to try it out with you on Tabletop Simulator.
Thank you all so much for your support of Necromansters. It’s been an amazing dream come true for Caleb and I.
Hot off the presses! Caleb here with some brand new NecroMansters news! Lemme break it down for ya in a few bite sized chunks. Lots of fun pictures to gawk at!
Almost to 15k!
In anticipation of that quickly-approaching 15k stretch goal, I’ve cooked up something fresh for all of you! Here’s a teaser of what’s to come:

nightmare eyes, anyone?
Spare Parts & Team Mythic Teasers!
If you know me, you know I’m bad with keeping secrets, especially if those secrets are some absolutely sick looking new cards. Feast ya eyes, creeps!
a fearsome face from Mythic, the homemade “dragon” named ‘Gax Machina.Eight Bears, a Spare Parts newcomer. Yes, literally eight bears stitched together. Things could get messy fast.Djent, one of the strongest cards in Mythic, not to mention the most 80s B-Movie Horror Flick coded. Oozing with charm, literally and figuratively.
Less than half the Make-A-Manster slots remaining in Spare Parts, too! Vibrating with excitement in anticipation of starting those in the next months.
Some Lil Adverts + Incentive!
Just because I can: Here are some lil funny advertisement images I whipped up for myself! Feel free to spread these around like the plague–and, as a little incentive for spreading the glorious news of all things ‘Mansters, I’m gonna include a lil link to a NecroMansters Moby Crypt Wallpaper at the veeery bottom of all this for those of you who scroll that far (and, maybe, just maybe, recruit your buddies to the cause). Go killem dead out there, creeps!
Hello again, all! Caleb Nelson here, designer and illustrator of NecroMansters.
We’re crushing it, and I do mean “we” because none of this would be possible without the help of each and every one of you backers! Expectations? Exceeded. The mood? Ecstatic. Our Stretch Goals? 2/3 met!
But now our page looks a little silly, to be honest. No new stretch goals until 50k? Feels wrong. Feels… incomplete. So let’s change that!
At $15,000…
As a thank you to our backers for helping us surpass our wildest dreams, we’ll include a new Manster card in the core set, with a kooky green Kickstarter-flavored border! Hot dog!
maybe even… like this?? :0
This new Manster will not be locked to any team, so you could use it with Custom Cadaver OR Funeral Party Mode.
…any excuse to make a new card and I’ll take it, really. I love making art for this game!
At $20,000…
Speaking of art. Digital wallpapers! I’ll make a handful of artworks meant for putting onto your phones ‘n’ laptops and what have you. People will see the art over your shoulder and say things like “Woah, sick background! Where’s that from?” And you’ll say things like “Stop looking over my shoulder,” and “how did you get into my house,” and “It’s from NecroMansters,” etc, etc.
this horrifying new sketch of the Manster Card Gnatsuki is just one of many possibilities. I drew this as a joke earlier but now I’m realizing it might not get to be a joke anymore. Help.
I’ll also try to get together some art of some fan-favorite cards, as well… for both these wallpapers and maybe some alt-art rare cards that might show up somewhere down the line. Anything’s possible! Let me know what critters you like the most in the comments and I’ll take note.
At $25,000…
So far, there are 2 NecroMansters comics: One with Team Crafty, and one with both Team Creepy AND Team Spooky. There’s another in the works right now. Expect that one to feature Team Gloomy! …But that’s it. That’s all I really intended to make, and those 3 comics will cover most of the mechanics I wanted to feature (the three types, active and inactive slabs, and scavenging). All that being said, at 25k, I’ll be able to start work on another issue of the comic, as another little thank-you for all the support we’ve gotten! If it’s finished in time, we might even be able to squeeze it into the comics and stickers reward, but it’ll be available digitally to all the backers who helped make it possible in the first place.
And, just maybe, this new comic will prominently feature one of the new terrifying Mansters from Team Mythic! Only time will tell.
And Beyond…
That’s all we’ve got for now, but who knows? Once we reach 30k and beyond, there might be some new stretch goals that unlock!
Hello fellow Islanders. I will now go over the results from the survey. This will tell you what will be happening with the products for Atonement moving forward.
I will respect your decision to have no color on attack and defense. Here’s the card border.
Based on your feedback, the variants and pull rates are now decided! Rainbow Foil (1 in 1 pack) Borderless (1 in 1 pack) Kryptik Text (1 in 30 packs) 1 of 1 (1 in 300 packs)
Ok! Here’s how Wave 0 sales are going to go down. We will sell them here on Speedrobogames.com. We will just limit them to one per order. If people REALLY want more, I guess they can cheat. Please don’t. We will not be doing pre-orders for Wave 0 either. I know that this is going against the majority wishes, but it’s so close that I’m going to weigh myself as the extra deciding vote. I just feel a lot more comfortable only selling Wave 0 when it is in hand. A day or so notice will be given before sales begin. Our retail partners will have a selection of boxes set aside just for them. Stores will be contacted for orders when they are available.
While I do not personally agree with this choice, I will respect it. You guys want #100 white core, that’s what you’ll be getting.
The majority want lore, so we will do lore. The one caveat to this is that we MAY not be able to get the lore cards done in time for wave 0. We will do our best to get them in, but it is a possibility. I will let you know what comes of it, but I can promise that you will get Lore cards in Wave 1.
We will shoot for $100. We may have to do $110 due to the lore cards. I will let you know what happens. Keep in mind, this is for the online price of boxes. I want, expect, and encourage our retail partners to charge less. I want people to purchase product from the stores that support us, so we will be charge higher than them on our direct sales avenue.
A survey for the gameplay in Atonement is in the works and will be posted soon. Thank you very much.
We are thrilled to be working with the Kryptik company to get Atonement out to players. We will be updating all websites and social with more information about the upcoming product during the next few weeks!
I have a lot to update everyone on now that the World Tournament 2024 AND Season 2 have officially wrapped up.
To get started, I would like to congratulate the Top 4 of System Gate Worlds 2024~!
Brandon Whittington
Chris Palacios
Ava Vassay
Kenton Banyai (2024 World Champion!)
After the tournament ended, we released a survey to get everyone’s thoughts on the event. It was super helpful and all of your feedback was really appreciated. It helped us direct the ban list, know what cards needed errata, and guide the design direction for Season 3. Some players were very happy with the Meta of the tournament and others were very not happy. That shows that we have room to improve and intent to do just that. The first step is rolling out a heavy list of bans and a sprinkle of Errata.
We will now discuss the ban list!
Lightning Shinobi, Hattori requires a ban due to how he interacts with a card in FS02. In addition, players have listed this card as an annoyance in the past. Therefore, this card will be receiving a temporary placement on the ban list. I do expect him to be taken off in the future.
Mobius is receiving his ban for identical reasons to Hattori. He’s been listed as an annoyance before and becomes far too consistent with the release of FS02. Welcome to the no-play list!
Goblin Slingshot I expect to be the most controversial pick on this list. However, I do feel it is appropriate given the feedback from the survey. The only real answer to this card is to play Bulk Up! and Bulk Up! specifically. That’s a problem. Feedback from the survey indicated that players are wanting less cards in the game that require specific counter play. Therefore we are removing the problem from the game for now.
Cold Stegosaurus was the most requested card to be banned in the survey. In addition, it played a vital role in 2 of the top 4 decks this year. That alone would be justification to ban the card, however it is also part of a bigger problem. [Steadfast] was a keyword that was meant for aggressive cards, not defensive cards. Giving it to Cold Stego was a mistake and I apologize. It is now banned from play.
Let’s move on to the Erratas!
“Radiation Blaze” from here on will only be able to be triggered twice per turn. This was another request from the survey by multiple people.
This one was pretty easy to see coming. Excalibur was the core card of the Champion deck. This is a card that’s been flexing her power over the game for quite some time. To bring her in line, she has lost her [Counter] timing.
Aurora’s Betrayal gaining a cost was another survey request and another totally legit one. This card was totally busted. Whoops! Now it’s fixed.
There will be an errata pack rolling out to game stores that request it with Excalibur and Aurora’s Betrayal in it. If you’re wanting some, please let us know by email ([email protected]). Thank you!
And with the end of the world tournament, it is also the end of the online season! The top 16 players will be contacted about their prizing via email in the near future. So stay tuned for that this summer!
There’s many more exciting announcements for System Gate and Speedrobo games coming VERY VERY soon!!!
To summarize, congrats to our top 2 players Ava Vassay and Kenton Banyai. Both previous world champions fought it out for the crown, with Kenton Banyai managing to defend his title this year!
We will be releasing the deck he used (possibly with some erratas to certain cards) in July of this year.
Speaking of erratas, we will be doing our normal post-worlds ban list and errata updates. Expect to see this list go live at the end of June 2024 at the latest. Our team is still going over the data and making sure that our adjustments will have the desired effect.
It will be the end of the digital season on our Play Network soon as well. Rhydon is currently getting in contact with the software provider to co-ordinate rewards with everyone. We will be getting the prizes in your hands and start the new season by the end of the summer.
Thank you all again for your continued support of System Gate. This year will be even bigger and better than the last!
This product features something pretty exciting too, OUR NEW CARD BORDER! We’ve been hard at work updating the look for System Gate and this is a massive upgrade across the board. The goal with this border was to solve some of the frequent problems and complaints with the previous one.
In addition, this product is part of the previous fan card submissions. The creators of these cards are Emil L. and Devon Harman. The rest of the fan card submissions will be released in FS02.
Now for a bit of the sad news, at this time I am not sure when FS02 will be properly released. We are experiencing some production delays on that product specifically and in the company as a whole. Speedrobo Games is currently going through some expansion and working with other creators and companies. This has resulted in some growing pains. These issues have impacted FS02 the most, and I apologize for the wait on that product.
Regardless, 2024 is going to be a very exciting year for System Gate! The overhaul of the card borders is just the start.
There was a cross over fighting game that I used to really enjoy in my youth. One thing that game did was that it added in characters from upcoming games for that platform. It was dumb, but in a cool way. I always wanted to do something like that, so I did.
Releasing with BT08 is the FUTURE FLASH PROMO PACK! This will be the promo pack sent out to participating store locations to use as prizes during this sets release window.
This pack will be featuring 6 all new cards that all feature characters form UPCOMING SPEEDROBO GAMES!!!
As always, please check play.speedrobogames.com to see upcoming events from our amazing store partners to learn when you can get your hands on this promo pack. Ask your local game store if they are participating and registered at play.speedrobogames.com!
