REDLINE OCT UPDATE
Happy fall to y’all!
We have some big updates to share this month with all of you concerning REDLINE with the final results of our efreet design contest name below as well as a big shipping and production update to share!
Efreet Design Contest Naming Results!
Thanks to everyone who helped not only to design but submitted names for our new community designed efreet. The results are in and the result is below!
Ladies and gentlemen, efreet pilots of all ages, we are proud to introduce you to the Scorpion!
Wait…. wut? lol
Per the rules of our naming contest, we asked our fans to submit names for the four legged efreet up above on our social media and across all platforms, Scorpion was the most popular name submitted by multiple REDLINE fans.
However, there was one 78 ton problem. We already had an efreet named the Scorpion waaaaay back in our REDLINE: Siege expansion, lol. Opps!
As that name was already taken we went with the 2nd place nomination, (which was our personal fav) so let’s try this again.
REDLINE players and fans, say hello to the WOLF SPIDER!
Love the name as the two large cannons are very reminiscent of the fangs of the actual wolf spider species which is robust and agile hunter.
The Wolf Spider will be featured in an upcoming REDLINE expansion so stay tuned!
Production And Shipping Update
Good news everyone!
REDLINE: Payday production is complete and factory shipping is imminent!
So what does this mean? Two things.
First, with production complete, we are now looking to bring our product home from our factory in China and we are currently working to make arrangements for that. Our goal is to bring REDLINE to our distributor as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
However, we live in tumultuous times as I am sure you know. With recent threats to close docks, Houthi rebels targeting shipping routes, and the holidays fast approaching, shipping costs and timetables are messy. We are still working to navigate these factors to find the best course of action for REDLINE: Payday and will be updating again when we have a more concrete schedule for you. The important thing is we are still on pace to meet our proposed Dec/Jan ship date to players.
Secondly, with shipping imminent we will be collecting shipping payments through our BackerKit pledge manager this week.
We are currently at about 82% of all pledges completed so if you haven’t yet, do make sure to login to manage your pledge, lock in your shipping and nab any sweet REDLINE add-ons like one of our awesomely detailed efreet miniatures! You can even get a Scorpion mini right now since it was so surprisingly popular! lol
Or, if you haven’t yet, and missed out on our Kickstarter campaign, now is the time to pre-order REDLINE: Payday through our BackerKit Pre-Order store!
THANK YOU!
As always, we want to thank our players again for all your support and patience!
We appreciate all of you and your support as we work to make REDLINE: Tactical Card Combat the best mech based card game out there!
September Update

We hope everyone is doing well as the summer slowly winds down.We know you’ve been patiently waiting for the results of our REDLINE: Payday efreet design contest and we are excited to share our new efreet that the community helped to design today!
Not too bad right? ;)
The efreet above was designed taking into account the results of our community efreet design 4 contest. We asked our fans to vote for their dream efreet and then we designed a new machine based on their input.
You can view the final results of the polling by clicking on the image below.
When the final polling finished our players wanted a neutral medium quad design that can go into all decks. An armored cockpit and armored components were popular along with a a cannon and missile weapons package and the ever popular sharpshooter ability.
The final design is a sleek looking efreet that still appears designed to absorb a great deal of punishment and is our 2nd ever quad efreet in REDLINE! The first one, the AXL-2 Axolotl also happened to be fan designed as well. (you all sure do love medium quads!)
Now we need your help one last time to name our new toy!
The rules are simple, we will be posting and uploading our new efreet onto our social media channels and taking name suggestions in the comments! Leave a comment with a name you would like to suggest for the new efreet and like or love the entries that you want to vote for. At the end of the day on Friday September 13th we will take a final tally of the most popular name across our social media and proudly christen our new efreet with the winning entry.
Don’t hesitate! Share your suggestions and vote now on our Facebook page, Twitter feed, Instagram and subreddit accounts!
REDLINE: Payday Production
Production is still going strong for our REDLINE: Payday Kickstarter and we hope to be able to share a bigger update next month as production wraps up.
In the meantime, don’t forget that pre-orders for REDLINE: Payday are still live for any players who missed out on our campaign but still want to get their hands on the latest REDLINE experience! Our 3rd expansion, REDLINE: Payday adds two new factions to the game with a slew of new mechanics and tactics for players to explore and build around!
Chase down bountes for huge rewards as the new mercenary faction or mine for rare earth ores and punch your way to victory with the new industrial corporations! REDLINE: Payday is awesome!
PRE-ORDER NOW!
We'll be back soon with the results of our naming contest! Have fun and don't forget to cast your vote! We can't name our new efreet without you!

Thank you for your patience as we worked to get the pledge manager and pre-order store setup and ready through BackerKit.
Pre-Order Store
Good news! The REDLINE: Payday pre-order store is now LIVE! If you missed out on our campaign you can now pre-order items from our REDLINE: Payday Kickstarter. You can visit the store at the link at the top of our campaign page near the header or through this link here!
This is your chance to grab our new REDLINE: Payday expansion decks, REDLINE efreet miniatures and a slew of awesome REDLINE stuff to add to your collection and your REDLINE battles!
Pledge Manager Soon!
In addition for our backers, links to your pledge manager through BackerKit will be sent out in the coming days.
The pledge manager will allow you to add to your pledges, change your shipping address if need be, and lock in your order with shipping.
When your pledge manager email arrives, please double check to make sure your shipping address is correct.If you have moved since the end of our campaign or you intend to before our estimated shipping date of Dec 2024, please update your pledge manager with the correct address so we can make sure your order arrives where it needs to!
Stretch Goal Unlocked!
If you will remember, we ended our campaign just short of unlocking our Kickstarter exclusive alt art Ore tokens for all backers! Because we were sooooo close, and we really love these cards, we have decided to unlock them for all pledges! Woot!
That's 5 alt art Ore tokens for every pledge!
Don't worry, if you missed out on our Kickstarter campaign, you can still get the ore tokens when you pre-order a pledge bundle through our pre-order store. Don't miss out on these sweet looking exclusive cards!
Endless Summer
Beyond the latest news above, we hope everyone has been enjoying their summer. We only have some small updates in addition to the opening up of BackerKit above.
REDLINE: Payday production is still on track and moving along as we still are on schedule for our December ship date.
We will also be sharing the final design for the latest efreet design contest soon and asking for your help to christen it with a name! Always fun to add a new efreet to the REDLINE family with all of your help!
Thank you for all your support and continued patience as we work to bring our campaign all the way to the finish line. ;)

REDLINE: Payday June Update

Hello wonderful REDLINE: Payday players!
It's been just about a month since our Kickstarter ended and we wanted to give some updates on the state of the project and what we are working on at the moment.
It does take Kickstarter about 2 weeks after a campaign ends for funds to be distributed so that had a small impact on how fast we would have liked to have moved when it comes to progress.
PRODUCTION
We are happy to share that we have submitted final files to our production company in China for printing. In addition to the printing of REDLINE: Payday we will be reprinting the REDLINE: Core Set and REDLINE: Siege as we are out of inventory on each or close to at the moment. This will be the 2nd printing of each and will bring those sets up to the current standard of all REDLINE cards with the 2nd edition of the rules we released back in 2023. Very exciting!
We are hoping to begin printing in July though we are still waiting on final confirmation from our producer and their schedule.
LATE PLEDGES AND PLEDGE MANAGER
With speedy production being our first priority we will soon be getting late pledges and the pledge manager up and running once done. We expect them to open up in July.
As we know many were looking forward to it, we will be honoring our 20k stretch goal during late pledges to unlock a set of 5 alt art ore tokens for each backer. We are less than a $1,000 away from reaching that goal and we hope we can hit it as soon as late pledges begin!
EFREET DESIGN CONTEST
We are also looking forward to sharing the results of our newest efreet design contest with all of you.
Once we open up late pledges we will be sharing the new efreet and opening up the last part of the contest as we ask the community to help us name the new design YOU helped to make!
You all made a wild one is all we can say! ;)
Thank you again for all your help and support that you gave to REDLINE and we will be back again with another update once we are ready to open up pledge support!

Huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped us to make our REDLINE: Payday campaign to the finish line!
At 19k raised, this is our most successful campaign yet and as always, we are extremely humbled and thankful to everyone who helped to make it so.
REDLINE: Payday is awesome and now we will get to work on production as we can't wait for you all to get your hands on it!
We will have more updates in the coming weeks on the progress of production as well as the opening up of the pledge manager and late pledges. As far as stretch goals go, just as we have in the past, we will honor late pledges towards our goals.
There is so much work that goes into making REDLINE and running a Kickstarter campaign. The support and enthusiasm of our backers and REDLINE players makes it all worth it as we continue striving to keep growing the game.
Now if you will excuse us, it's been a long campaign and a long day at the day job, so we're gonna celebrate for a bit tonight to relax and enjoy this moment. ;)
Thank you again!
See you soon!
