We start off today with great news: Sine Tempore is the 13° most awaited game of 2018 according to BGG. This has been possible thank your support, indeed many of you voted our game in all the categories in which it was nominated, and they were not few! Therefore we can officially announce that Merchant Ksur will have his miniature as a reward for your incredible support! Among the different categories where Sine Tempore has been nominated, it's the winner of the bronze medal in the Solitary category.
General Ranking and...
Solitaire Ranking!!
So, again Bravo! to all of you!
As anticipated in the previous updates, we did desperately need your help to resist the weird abuses of Black Munchkin. Our prayers have been greeted by a group of unfeasible space heroes, certainly not the heroes we needed....but surely they are the heroes we deserve!
Starbus, Burp, Goldie and Hornetta, will come for save you ... maybe...
Let's talk now about a topic that intrigued many of you: Nova Aetas Chronicles! This will be the Brand indicating the involvement of our games, the past and the future ones, in the narrative universe of Nova Aetas. It will involve Sine Tempore itself, which will be inserted as a prequel to the chronology of events within the world of Nova Aetas. Even Black Rose Wars, the new project we are working on, will have the new LMS brand.
New brand revealed!
You have been asking impatiently for the release date of Sine Tempore's Print &Play, so we are working on it these days to release it as soon as possible! In fact, by the end of February, we will upload the first campaign mission on our website. Everything you will need to play this adventure will be printable thanks to some easy preset files.
The adventure begins, Spriggan ... Spriggan everywhere!
We conclude by getting you involved in a new project that might set off shortly, but its realization is strongly influenced by your enthusiasm. Creating some wiki about our games is our new idea, in order to supply useful material to explore the playful and technical aspect of our titles. Such us the analysis of the various classes, the walk-through of the missions, the combinations of the different skills and the best strategies to deal with the campaigns. To do this, however, we'd need volunteers to help us moderate the wiki, creating with us something useful for all the players. A guide for enthusiasts for enthusiasts.
Stay tuned! LMS

Thanks to your support by voting for the 50 most anticipated games in the preliminary phase of the contest, Sine Tempore passed the first round with flying colours (with more than 800 votes) and now awaits its most difficult challenge!
At the moment Sine Tempore is in 20th place and the finish line is really close! We just have to spread the word and make more friends and fans vote (yes, even your cat!) by January 28th, the day when the voting will close!
Follow these simple steps:

3) Vote for Sine Tempore in the following categories: Overall; Original/Innovative; Crowd-Funded; Cooperative; Solitaire; Strategy; Thematic; Sci-Fi; Fantasy and above all in this year’s new category, Under Your Radar.

Ksur the Merchant
To give you the right incentives we remind you that entering the first 50 classifieds you have already unlocked the rules and the Ksur the merchant token, which will be inserted together with the other SGs in the Black Hole Box!
But if ST enters the first 20 classifieds, then Ksur will take its true form in a new and fantastic miniature!!
But who is Ksur???
He's a wanderer merchant that you can meet during your missions on any planet!
it will be positioned on a game board as if it were a terrain card, and will randomly move at certain times of the mission. If a hero manages to catch it, they can buy a treasure item, chosen from one of 3 random cards, drawn from the deck of special objects.
The objects held by the merchant are unique and add play material that can be used in all classes. Sometimes, in the case of more powerful objects, in exchange, he may ask for some raw materials to be subtracted from your loot at the end of the mission.
So what are you waiting for? We want it! You want it!
Let's get Ksur on our tables!!!

Hi everyone!
We wish you all the best for 2018 and hope you ate like Bull-y and rested like Spriggan over the holiday period. Because we certainly did! We have recharged our batteries and accumulated as much energy as possible because this year is full of projects, initiatives and work that will see the whole LMS family contributing 110%.
In this fast update, we return to talk about a competition that’s very close to our hearts and many of you Backers... yes, we’re talking about the “Most Anticipated Board Games of 2018”.
Thanks to your support by voting for the 50 most anticipated games in the preliminary phase of the contest, Sine Tempore passed the first round with flying colours (with more than 800 votes) and now awaits its most difficult challenge!
The competition is very tough, but we have high hopes in receiving your support during this next round. Voting is open until 28th January and to participate all you need to do is follow these simple steps:
1) Log on to BGG (if you don't already have an account you can easily create one in just a few minutes)

What’s more, we have continued to work on Sine Tempore’s development and would like to show you the restyled status tokens.
New tokens!
As you can see, we have inserted red and blue borders to indicate negative and positive statuses respectively. We also thought this would make the tokens more attractive. Tell us your thoughts about the changes and whether or not you think we’ve managed to improve their overall look.
We conclude this brief update with the presentation of a much-awaited character: the terrible Black Munchkin!
Black Munchkiiiin!
But it seems that for every respected antagonist, bold heroes are needed to oppose their power. Trust us when we tell you they’re on the way!
Stay tuned!

Christmas Update! - Important production report!
over 6 years ago
– Fri, Dec 22, 2017 at 11:30:21 PM
Hi all guys!
Here we are with our Christmas update! First and foremost, we’d like to thank you for all the fantastic support we’re receiving to help get ST on the BGG list of the most anticipated games for 2018. So many of you have voted and we are truly excited to be backed by such a passionate community!
For those of you that haven’t yet voted, you can still do so by registering on BGG and following this link:
This past year has been a fantastic ride for us and Sine Tempore, and it’s all thanks to you! So let’s make sure we celebrate this well-deserved Christmas!
But first of all, let’s get down to business!
Production Report (very important!!)
Production of the rules and sculptures (which are now 85% complete) is at full sail, just like the texts we’re writing to solve a few game dynamics (particularly in relation to the campaign system).
Based on the time it’s taking us to conceive and test all the material, we’ve drafted a new work plan for the next few months, and unfortunately we’ve realised that in order to have a high-level final product (which is what we’re aiming for), we’re going to need a few more months than we’d anticipated.
As you know, we’ve never denied the possibility that there might be a small delay with respect to the scheduled delivery date if the alternative means compromising the final quality of the game and materials.
In these past few months, we’ve worked hard to minimise the risk of delay, but the amount of material is truly enormous and we want to maintain a very high level of quality, passing all the written material through an intense Editing phase (also with your help), so we have decided to ask for just a little more patience but rest assured that the wait will be worth it!
We can promise you that the delay is nonetheless very minor and we are confident that you will receive the game by October/November 2018, so basically 5 months after the scheduled date.
Here is a short list of the next steps:
February 2018 - Publication of the core rules for review together with our Backers and professional editor. 1st Sine Tempore print&play mission inside the 6th issue of Ashes.
March 2018 - Re-opening of the Pledge Manager to select your chosen alternative language (French and Italian ATM).
April/May 2018 - Publication of Add-on and Stretch Goal rules for review with Backers and professional editor.
June 2018 - Final review by a professional editor
July 2018 - Start of mass production
September 2018 - Start of fulfilment and shipments
October/November 2018 - Finalisation of shipments
We know it’s never nice to announce a delay in the delivery of a project, but we are also certain it would be even worse to receive a game that doesn’t meet your expectations. Having to choose between the worse of two evils, we decided that a few extra months is a reasonable price to pay to receive the game you love and have supported with so much enthusiasm!
Of course, we will keep you up to date on the progress of works as always!
Boogey family
As we said, production of the sculptures is continuing at a steady rhythm, and for this update, we’d like to introduce the complete group of ST “Undeads”!
Now the terrible Boogeyman can finally rely on his 2 macabre servants, the Revenants and the Dolls.
The Revenants are the Boogeyman’s servants, created using the remains of dead bodies and mechanical scraps from who knows where. These dead minds blindly obey the orders of their master and are unstoppable, unless you destroy them into a million pieces... but don't allow the Boogeyman to use his powers over them or you’ll find yourselves once more surrounded by these unrelenting enemies.
Revenant
The Dolls, on the other hand, are the elite troops of the Boogeyman. Small, agile and ruthless, these mini nightmares will put any hero to the test. Despite their small build, their malice and guile in battle make them dangerous adversaries, especially when their master is lurking around.
Doll
All together, these enemies will be the protagonists of a mini-campaign composed of 3 episodes especially dedicated to them, but if you are “marked” by the Boogeyman, you’ll never truly be free of them!
Boogeyman family
And don't forget that this happy family can also be played in Nova Aetas with a mini-campaign that will put even your renaissance Heroes to the test!
Ashes 5
This month sees the return of the regular Ashes series, with the release of the 5th issue that can be downloaded as always from this link:
Inside, you’ll find a Sine Tempore story that will help you get to know the Primaevi and much more still!
That’s all for this update, except that we’d also like to wish you a truly happy Christmas and New Year, from Andrea, Vincenzo, Fernando, Luca, Giovanni, Marco, Paolo and Tommaso... needless to say the whole LMS team... Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

BGG - 20 Most Anticipated Games of 2018
over 6 years ago
– Thu, Dec 07, 2017 at 12:44:08 AM
Hi everyone,
just a quick update to launch a new initiative that we’re pretty sure you might like.
As many of you know, BGG is holding a vote for the top 20 most anticipated games of 2018 and Sine Tempore is in the running (http://bit.ly/BGGMostAnticipated2018), proudly keeping up with some of the most high-end names.
Voting will end on 6th January to decide on the top 50, and then from 7th to 27th January voting will continue for the top 20.
Sine Tempore is currently sitting in the 52nd spot out of more than 300 registered games.
We have decided to reward all backers (and any other voters that support us with downloadable files) with some special prizes:
If we make the top 50, we will insert the rules for the Spriggan Merchant into the Black Hole Box, with its token and a set of exclusive cards to be purchased during play.
If we have the honour of making the top 20, the token will become a fantastic miniature.
Below you can see the concept of the model we have in mind, Ksur the merchant.
Ksur
How does the merchant work?
It will be positioned on a game board as if it were a terrain card, and will randomly move at certain times of the mission.
If a hero manages to catch it, they can buy a treasure item, chosen from one of 3 random cards, drawn from the deck of special objects.
The objects held by the merchant are unique and add play material that can be used in all classes.
Sometimes, in the case of more powerful objects, in exchange he may ask for some raw materials to be subtracted from your loot at the end of the mission.
So what are you waiting for? Follow the link to vote:
