DreamForge-Games is now open for Bidnez
www.dreamforge-games.com just got a major face lift... and product. Yeah that's right for the first time in a few years... things you can buy ;P I know, strange right?
It has been a very long time since I had a workable storefront. I have relied on the freeware shopping carts to get things done but sadly I am no HTML expert and it was sorely neglected.
This time around I went with a much more user friendly back end and a snazzy theme with all the bells and whistles. You should be able to view and use this site on your phone or PDA, which is a huge improvement over the old website.
I hope you enjoy the look and feel as much as I do, so stop in, pick up some plastic crack and have a look around.
First shipment heading to WFG Utah!
Just a heads up, the shipment left China last week (Dec 29th) to start its sea voyage, so we are still on track for it landing in Utah the last week of January.
We filled a 40 foot container just for the KS backs ;) there was another shipment that left shortly after for the retailers stock.
Fingers crossed, this will be a common occurrence :-P

Not the end of the world.... BUT....
I woke up this morning and the world is still here but the forum and shopping cart databases seemed to have come to an Apocalypse of their own :)
We are working on getting that fixed.

Pre-Orders available on March 12th! 10% off sale!!
It has been a week of html and CSS joy, as I pull together a new store front and fill it with products.
I still have a few products to add and some testing to do… I will push the site live and allow pre-orders on March 12th, the sale and pre-orders will run through St. Patrick’s Day March 17.
I have about 200 Sturmtruppen and 100 Kriegsmarine on hand, so I will begin shipping some or all of the pre-orders on March 20th with the rest to be shipped (hopefully) within ten to fifteen days depending on the volume of orders.
So much still to do, so it’s back to work for me.
All the best!
Mark-DreamForge-Games is pleased to announce the release of the Leviathan Crusader!
Within the next few days, we will open up both the Leviathan Mortis and the Leviathan Crusader for Pre- Orders. Pre-Orders will be given at a reduced price for a limited quantity of models. I will update the website and announce the opening for pre-orders on the DreamForge-Games Blog. I expect to open pre-orders on Thursday the 28th or Friday the 29th of April and will make an announcement here on the DreamForge-Games Blog.
The Leviathan Crusader is armed with a right hand Vulkan Cannon and left hand Executioners Blade. The main weapon arms are hot swappable allowing for quick change out to any of the optional weapons available separately. Suitable for a display model or tabletop gaming.
*Not recommended for the novice model builder.
*Instructions for assembly are a web published PDF format.
What you need to know about the pre-orders: 1) There will be a limited number of pre-order slots available. (50)
2) I will give 30 days before closing the pre-orders, this may happen much sooner if the volume of orders is high and we reach our maximum 50 slots. (Limit of two kits per household)
3) Pre-orders must be paid in full with Paypal.
6) You will be sent a tracking number when your order ships.
Additional (optional) weapon arms and armor upgrade kits are also available at a reduced price.
Delivery to Canada or Mexico $32.15
Delivery to the rest of the world $48.83
This highly poseable model contains 143 plastic resin components and stands 8.5” tall to the shoulders. 9.5” tall including the reactor stacks. The assembled kit weighs nearly two pounds. The kit comes with all components required to build one Leviathan Crusader. (1) Main body legs and upper arms. (1) Right hand Vulkan Cannon (1) Left hand Executioners Blade (1) Armor Upgrade for listed components.
*Instructions for assembly are a web published PDF format.
Background Fluff:
The Crusader was developed to fill a need for a more heavily armored Leviathan. What was produced is widely regarded as the most balanced and finest design possible. Possessing remarkable speed and survivability while not sacrificing offensive capability, it is often compared to its 20th century counterpart the Panzerkampfwagen V (Panther tank).It holds the distinction of being the most widely produced VR5 Leviathan in existence. The Crusader can be found in every faction’s arsenal. At 160 years old, the design is still innovative. Independent households often barter away vast planetary resources to acquire a Crusader as these Leviathans lend credibility and prestige to the households standing within its parent faction. A faction ruler knows that when the household is called upon to fight they will answer with a very capable force.
Eisenkern uses this Leviathan as a powerful bartering chit with The Brotherhood. Tithing ten per year to the order they have managed to make themselves indispensable. The Brotherhood, by its charter, cannot maintain Leviathan manufacturing capability. This often gains Eisenkern an unfair advantage in dispute resolution with other factions.
Armed with the Executioners Blade and the massive Vulkan Cannon the Crusader can own its corner of the battlefield. The supplementary armor adds considerable weight to the design but the twin Maybach reactors are still able to handle the extra load. Equipped with oil stacks the Crusader can overcharge its reactor and deliver a withering close combat attack as it channels power to the plasma blade. There has been some recent debate about replacing the oil stacks with capacitor coolers but most pilots are unwilling to give up the combat edge.
2) I will give 30 days before closing the pre-orders, this may happen much sooner if the volume of orders is high and we reach our maximum 50 slots. (Limit of two kits per household)
3) Pre-orders must be paid in full with Paypal.
4) What can you expect for wait time before a package arrives at your door? (30 days (or less) to take all pre- orders, 45 to 60 days to receive the casts from the supplier, 3 to 5 days in transit to you if you live in the US or Canada, overseas shipping will take a bit longer).
5) Orders will be filled in the order that they were received.6) You will be sent a tracking number when your order ships.
Pre-Order Price for kits:
Leviathan Mortis ($296.75 pre-order price) Retail $350.00
Leviathan Crusader ($306.75 pre-order price) Retail $375.00
Shipping costs: USPS, Priority Mail, Insured.
Delivery within the US $15.25Delivery to Canada or Mexico $32.15
Delivery to the rest of the world $48.83
Ever want to be immortalized in a game system? Here is your chance….
Here is your chance to have a character, a major settlement, a military unit, a planet or planetary system, and yes…even a model named after you or given a name of your choosing. (Pending Approval).
I could lock myself away and develop Iron-Core in a vacuum, but I prefer to hear other viewpoints and receive input from the community that will be using this system. I will post rules sections on the forum for review, any input that ultimately ends up in the game will earn the poster -Contribution Points-. When the game goes to beta testing the contributors will be notified as to what level they have earned and will be given the choice to use either their name or a fictional name of their making.
The contributors may then submit three names (I will choose one of the three) that will be used to name a character, a major settlement, a military unit, a planet or planetary system and even a model, created or yet to be created. Naming a model will be reserved for those who have made many or major contributions to the Iron-Core universe or game system. Contributions can be as small as catching typos or as large as sweeping changes to the game system.
Play testers: When the game goes beta, I will open the Contribution Point system one last time. Any changes to the game system or astute observations about rule sections in your play test reports will earn you points towards immortality and one last shot at naming game assets.
As with all contributions, they must be given freely without expectation of financial or other reward. The goal is to make a game system that can be enjoyed by all; your reward will be the satisfaction of knowing you contributed to something that brings enjoyment to the gaming community, and perhaps bragging rights to the name of a game asset.
I look forward to your participation and hope that the completed game is one that you find enjoyable.
All the best,
Mark Mondragon

DreamForge-Games Forum Is Now Operational!
With the (hopefully soon) beta testing of Iron-Core it was time to open a forum.

Why a forum when I have a blog? A blog is a great place to post news but when you need feedback or a place to ask and answer more in depth questions, a forum is a far better tool. It also allows me to email all my members with important news such as pre-orders and new product information as well as special offers.
Although the forum is primarily designed for DreamForge products, you are free to discuss any games or minis. As the discussions grow, I will tweak or add boards to allow for easy searches and updates. It has been some time since DreamForge had a forum and I miss the communal exchange of ideas and feedback. The members of the old forum helped to shape Iron-Core and it is my hope that this communal effort will continue and enrich the Iron-Core universe.
Will I still update the Blog? Absolutely! It is still the best place to check for up to the minuet news.
The main DFG website received a face-lift with some new art on the home page and the forum, to give a cohesive design.
Registration is simple and what you are used to. There is one extra step involved after you confirm your email, you will need to log in and review the Terms of Use board and reply to the thread with “Agree” in the reply title if you agree with the terms. Also, take some time to tell everyone about yourself. Once you have Agreed to the Terms of Use you will have full access to all the forums topics and freedoms.
If you do not agree with the terms, you may still visit as a guest but may not post to the forum and you will not be part of the mailing list.
I hope you make yourselves at home…
I just took a dump on your Internets ;)
I just updated a few areas of the DreamForge-Games website. This update centered around the game system, factions, history and tech.
Start your tour here and use the menu bars at the top center of the page to view the new content.
Enjoy! and please let me know what you think about it.

Updated Website
While I was waiting for the re-printed part, I took the time to hack and slash through the website. It is still not completely done, the Game page needs a lot of work and I threw together the pics for the Vulcan Cannon page.
All in all, it loads faster and is far kinder to maneuver through. You still cannot buy anything; I have the PayPal buttons set so it will not complete the transaction without stock on hand.
No rest for the wicked... I start benching the re-print tomorrow and molds to follow.
Stay tuned! I will update the Blog with a final release date when I have it... Just keep in mind there may only be a couple of kits available on the day of release.

A little Photo Shop fun: Star Maps and Political Boundaries
While I'm waiting for the Leviathan print I thought I would start something constructive and define the Political boundaries for the Iron-Core universe.
Very early design stage here... lots of things still need to be worked out and all the systems need names but it's a good start :)
DreamForge-Games new web site is up
I got tired looking at the old site, so I pushed up the new one...incomplete and with issues... there are some load issues I need to resolve and some broken links that need fixing but it's nice to give DFG a face lift.
Working on a new web page and product line
The economy has been rough but this gives me an opportunity to go back to my passion. I have been putting together a new web site and product line... lots of work but very gratifying. Working on three new races and five major factions as well as Households. I'll post a bit more when I am further along.
