Hi Settlers!
As promised, here we are at the weekly appointment to closely follow the last stages of production.
But let's not lose ourselves in chatter and let's read the news of this quick but rich update!
(In) Boxing
Yes, I know you can not wait to do your unboxing of ST, but for now, we show you pictures and videos of the canning process. As I announced last week, this production phase has started, and all the expansions are about to be finished. The Core Box and the giant Black Hole Box will be made last.
Finally, we managed to find the best solution for our models, and as you can see in the video now ST has its Rings! The problem that occurred was due in large part to our beautiful scenic bases, which in their beauty have proved to be tough to fit in the standard ring and we had to create an "ad hoc" type for ST. A procedure that has proved to be not simple, but in the end everything has been solved, and now this element is also in production. How do you say? "If you want to look beautiful you have to suffer a bit " Well, in our case it was really like that!
All of you much appreciated the first video made by Ken Cunningham, shown in the last update and me and Ken are very happy with it! Unfortunately, the video with the mission played is not ready yet.
The game was played and recorded, but Ken still needs a few days to finish editing and to do some finishing, so do not worry, it will be ready for the next week's update!
For this week it's all! See you, as always, on board and next week with a new production Update!

Hi Settlers!
We left behind the Chinese New Year, and the final phase of Sine Tempore production is fully resumed!
In the last update, I gave you a detailed report on the state of work before the stop for the Chinese holidays, so we start from where we were left!
Cards
As already mentioned, the production of cards has been completed for a long time and now the cards are waiting to be assembled in the various boxes!
Punchboard & Boxes
Yesterday the printing of all punchboards and all the boxes was completely finished! We show you a photo gallery to show you the end of this fundamental phase of production!
Core Boxes printed!
Black Hole Box Printed
Aracne Printed!
Punchboard Printed!
Miniatures & Plastic Tray
As also mentioned in the update 63, the plastic trays are already entirely produced as well as the miniatures.
At this moment only the colored ring for miniatures are missing. As I had anticipated these elements of the base box are having a somewhat troubled gestation. Our sculptors together with the engineers of Eastar games have finally found a quadrature and now we are waiting for the arrival of some samples to give the ok to mass production.
Let's make the sum!
As you may have guessed we are (finally) really very close to the finish line! In the next few days, the assembly of the boxes will start, giving priority to the expansion packs, leaving last the Core boxes to allow the production of the rings (which will take only a few days).
We asked Eastar Games to push to complete the whole production and put the boxes on ships by the end of March, and they honestly replied that the deadline is realistic and that they will work to respect it.
At this point, we just have to follow these last steps together and from now on I will work to update every week to keep you up to date on these last meters before the finish!
Rulebooks uploaded!
As some of you have already discovered, I've finished uploading rulebooks from all ST boxes to our support site, both the Core box and the expansions as well as the huge Black Hole Box. For the Core box, you will also find the Italian and French versions, run to read them!
Ken Cunningham shared the first part of the video gameplay he is making with the help of TableTop Simulator (TTS).
In this first episode, he explains in detail how the Heroes and Enemies work, an excellent appetizer waiting for the full video gameplay with an entire mission played, which will arrive next week! Enjoy!
And for this week it's all! See you on board as usual and next week for a new update!
Meanwhile, I leave you a spoiler on what we are working now...

Hi Settlers!
Here we are at the first update of 2019, obviously, all dedicated to the state of the work of the Sine Tempore production! But let's not lose ourselves in chatter and see how far we have arrived.
Card Production
As you can see from the photos that follow the production of the cards has been wholly completed, and the cards are ready for assembly! We received the final physical samples from the factory today, and we were able to confirm the very high quality of the prints and materials, all the papers are linen, and the final result is truly spectacular. The hard work of revision carried out in tandem with the Easter Games guys has given us back a product of the highest quality and has valued all the time more spent to get it... I'm sure that when you receive your boxes, you will agree with us.
Equipment cards
Mini cards
Scenic Element cards
Punchboard & Boxes
Even the mass production of these elements is almost complete, we had some delays in the starting phase as the samples arrived at us to confirm the beginning of mass production were still too dark and we lost a few days to make corrections on the machinery. The problem did not concern the files sent by us to the factory, but some non-optimal settings had been made. The problem was solved in a few days, and now the colors are as they should have been.
Miniatures & Plastic Tray
The production of the Miniatures is over, but here too there have been some problems that if not wholly resolved would not have allowed us to keep the quality of all our miniatures high. Now, as you can see from the photos, the miniatures are only waiting to be boxed and sent ;).
White Bully
Pandora!
In these days, we are working with the technicians of the factory to revise the colored ring for miniatures, we want to improve the quality of these components to meet the standards that we have set ourselves, and we took a few days to help the factory to improve them. We are counting on being on the right path.
Finally, the Plastic Trays have been entirely produced. As you can see from the photos, in the end, we opted for the transparent plastic instead of the black, it seemed more elegant, and more in line with the sci-fi setting of ST, I hope you like this choice :).
Pet's Plastic Tray
One of the many plastic tray from Black Hole box ^^
Let's make the sum!
As you may have guessed, we could not avoid the CNY, which this year will also be celebrated earlier than usual. The production is proceeding well, some problems that inevitably arise in this phase, have been dealt with giving priority to keeping the quality of our game high rather than aiming to solve them hurriedly. We know that the patience we are asking you is not a small thing, but we want the product that will arrive at your homes to be of a high standard, and our choices are always taken to achieve this result.
After the CNY some members of our technical staff will travel to China to view the last stages of production. If all goes well, and there will be no other hitches, by the end of February production should be finished, but we will have more information after the holiday period.
As always, I thank you for all the support, patience and affection that you are showing us, as you, we can't wait for ST to come to you and you can touch your investment with your hand but now we are at the final stages and this moment is getting closer!
I greet you by leaving you some images of the TTS Mod of Sine Tempore created by the great Ken Cunningham! As you can see everything is ready for the video gameplay that will be filmed in the next few days and will probably be prepared for the next update, moreover I am pleased to inform you that after the video this mod will be available to anyone so you can try the "Temple Raid" Mission with your hands!
That's all for today, see you on the board for your questions!
The Temple Raid is ready!
A Bull-y is waiting for you!

Hi, Settlers!
Here we are at the long-awaited Christmas update!
Santa Claus-Ksur is coming for you oh oh oh!
In addition to greetings and hugs (virtual sure, but not for this less warm!) We will take advantage of this update to inform you about the Sine Tempore mass production progress.
Excellent news comes to us from Eastar Games and as you can see scrolling through the photos of the production of miniatures is finished, and this is undoubtedly good news that leaves us hoping that mass production should not suffer further delays!
A lot of Kids!
Pandora's servant!
Mass-Faina!
On the front of the paper material, the latest report provided by our Production Manager Emily, told us that the production of the cards and the manuals began and that the printing of the boxes and punchboards will start in concise time, this last step will then lead to the assembly of the various packs before shipping.
Eastar Games is pushing on the accelerator to complete the entire production process before the Chinese New Year (which this year will be celebrated early during the first days of February) to close down their work before the holidays and not stop the shipping starts. Probably already from the first days of January, we will have more precise elements to give you a more accurate date for the beginning of the shipments.
Another good news is that we received the drafts of all the ST manuals and we are delighted with the quality of the print and the paper quality, and I am sure you will be satisfied with the final result too, and guys the Artbook and the dice blisters are amazing!
Rules, Rules, Rules!
Some cool dice blisters
To conclude, all the staff at LMS wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year ... (finally) the year of Sine Tempore!
Our artists, Giovanni and Simone, checking the Artbook!
Introducing Pandora!

Hi, Settlers!
Here we are at the first of a series of updates that will illustrate the materials that you will receive with your pledge. To start with the big, we decided to talk about the most complex and ambitious expansion created for our games. A box that will change the way you play Sine Tempore with a dynamic storytelling system that will make each game a real interactive story! But let's not lose ourselves in chatter and let's start the exploration of Pandora!
A friend in danger!
Pandora's box
"An obscure omen disturbs Jukas peace of mind. He is colliding with the manifestation of his master, Beli'ar".
It is in this way that the series of events that led the Genesis crew to intervene in a real rescue mission is triggered. Utterly unaware of where they have just landed, following the indications of the psionic master, it begins for them a risky and potentially lethal exploration. Last expansion of Sine Tempore, which will explore the domain of a powerful entity named Pandora. As with the famous Greek myth vase, which contained all the ills of the world, this colossal prison holds all those who, according to The Lady of the Chains, have proved too dangerous to be left free to roam the galaxy.
Rooms from the Jail
Helped by tireless servants, called Agents, Pandora pursues her goals of experimentation and study on the unfortunate guests of the prison. The patrolling of these places is complicated and dangerous, for this reason, our heroes will try to find a way to reach Beli'Ar in the fastest and most cautious way possible. To convey this sense of discovery and danger, you will be catapulted into play without the usual world map only with a slight idea of where you are. To represent your journey inside the Prison, each floor of the terrible orbital station has its deck of Exploration Cards.
Once you have discovered the starting room, you will get information on the keywords to be obtained to proceed from one level to the next. Each Exploration Card will contain indications on the type of room that is in front of you, at that precise moment you can decide whether to try your luck elsewhere or face the unknown.
Reading the Exploration Book (in a way very similar to the Game-Books system), you will discover if the rooms could contain rewards, Characteristic tests to be carried out or real Missions to be faced against the treacherous jailers. The most common rewards within rooms can be Elements for crafting, Resources or key objects. The most valuable rewards you can find are Teleport devices. Once the first-floor room is discovered, our Heroes will not be able to automatically return to Genesis after a fight, at least because they do not find these advantageous devices to be able to perform the Colony Phase as usual. Remember also that Teleports are arranged in limited numbers and the most unusual places, be scrupulous in research and use them!
Explore the Jail will be very fun (and horrible)
You have faced impossible missions, you have increased your experience, learned lethal skills and empowered your weapons beyond the wildest imagination. Despite all this, you are not ready to face what awaits you. Pandora's expansion is designed so that it can also be a challenge for players who have taken full advantage of the contents of the base game and other expansions. The primary skill of Pandora's jailers, Inhibition, can seal your skills. By random fishing from a personal pool, you will be told the exact slot, and then the skill associated with it, on which you can not rely for the rest of the mission.
Enemies and Rewards from Pandora
If this does not scare you, know that inside the prison, a myriad of traps, skills or events are scattered that will guarantee you the accumulation of serious injuries. If this does not stop you from saving Beli'ar from a horrible fate, congratulations this is the expansion that is right for you.
Production Report
Obviously, we could not close this update without updating you on the production status. At the moment mass production of models is proceeding with full sails, and probably miniatures will be the first component to be completed.
Some big guys in Black Hole Box
The graphic material has been definitively corrected and approved, and its mass production is started too. In December we will receive the next official report from the factory, we will be able to give you more information and show you photos of the final material.
Other models in the big box!
We leave you with some photos sent from the factory showing the plastic tray of the (big) box "Black Hole" that as you know will contain all the Stretch Goals released during the campaign. Furthermore, listening to your requests, I report the quantities of the cards divided for each box so that you can prepare a lot of sleeves ;). Enjoy!
Core box - standard (63x88mm) - 84 / mini (44x67mm) - 69 / tarot (70x121mm) - 12
Silicio - standard - 12 / mini - 23 / tarot - 9
Black Hole Box - standard - 255 / mini - 151 / tarot - 15
Pandora - standard - 20 / mini - 40 / tarot - 28
Motherfang - standard - 11 / mini - 23 / tarot - 1
Kyrone - standard - 9 / mini - 21 / tarot - 1
Aracne - standard - 7 / mini - 20 / tarot - 2
Pets - mini - 3
ADE - standard - 1 mini - 1
That's all guys! See you on the board for the comments and in December for the Christmas update! And do not forget to vote on BGG for Sine Tempore to place it among the 20 most anticipated games of 2019... yes, this will be the right year !! ;).
