Gloom of Kilforth: A Fantasy Quest Game Expansions
Created by Tristan Hall
Gloom of Kilforth is a game of high fantasy with a gothic edge, where 1-4 players, working individually or together, assume the roles of heroes on a journey through a dark world of magic and peril. Each player follows their hero’s tale, an epic saga from modest beginnings through to a climactic battle that will decide the fate of the world...

What happens when the gloom descends??

Fellow Kilforthians!
When the Ancients rise, the gloom prevails, and the land is doomed... Or is it? Our latest game Veilwraith asks this very question. Launched and funded - in one hour! - at the beginning of April we are steadily closing in on the finish line. Veilwraith is a solo fantasy card game (with multiplayer option), set after Kilforth has been destroyed, featuring deck building elements and campaign play.
We are live on Kickstarter right now with just 11 days left to go and you can back us here:
When the world ends, life and colour fade and decay from the Vana lands, but from beyond the Veil, memories abide. The world ends, yet hope endures. And the Veilwraith rises…
In the seared Vana lands left behind after the end of all things, fragmented memories of trapped souls continue to try to break through the shattered Veil. Some spirits remain because of an intractable bond with the life they left behind, and some remain because of strong magicks, or curses, or the tragedy of their fate – these souls are the Deja. Other more malicious entities patrol the Vana too, clinging to a shadowy vestige of wraithlike half life. They are the twisted Anima – creatures and spirits driven by madness and evil: demons, monsters, damned souls, and puppets of the Overlord Himself.
As a Veilwraith you are a remnant of what once was – an unearthly being sent back through the Veil by an impossible twist of fate. You must traverse the corrupted Vana, searching for and weaving together a series of disparate memories called Keys that can restore light, colour, and life to this broken, blackened world.But you are not helpless. Gifted with unusual talents you can use powerful memories from the stories that came before; memories which are all that remain to lend hope to this ravaged land.
We understand that these are strange times, and that some of you may not be able to join us on this journey, and we wish you all safety, happiness, and happy gaming wherever you are!

Final Day for 1565, St. Elmo's Pay + Kilforth promo cards!!
over 4 years ago

Hello to Those Who Have Seen The Gloom!
£40,056 pledged 400% funded 926 backers 26 hours to go!!!
Here's just a friendly reminder that we're down to the last day of our Kickstarter campaign for our latest game 1565, St. Elmo's Pay! It's funded successfully, unlocking plenty of stretch goals, and is as beautifully illustrated as Gloom of Kilforth, but with a metric tonne of real life history thrown in to boot. We've also just unlocked three Kilforth Shadows of Pay promo cards, which are included in every copy of 1565, St. Elmo's Pay.
The Shadows of Pay promo cards are three thematic people or places from the world of the Siege of Malta that have somehow travelled through the weave of time and the Veil to end up in the land of Kilforth. These Shadows of Pay promo cards can be used in either Gloom of Kilforth or its sequel Shadows of Kilforth, simply shuffle them into their respective decks.
Come and check it out and see what you think, maybe even throw in a pound to get access to the pledge manager if you're not sure:
We'd dearly love to have you join us if you haven't already, but Happy Halloween either way!! :D

Gloom of Kilforth at GenCon!!

Hi guys,
I've managed to book two GenCon events, details below, each of which is an excuse for me to say hello and thank you to US backers, sign games, and chat about geek stuff. I requested that there be no charge for either event as it's just a meet and greet but GenCon has slapped a $2 fee on for tickets anyway for use of their table space. It would be great to see some of you at the show if you're going and this just gives us an organised way to do it, but if you do see me at the show anyway be sure to say hello as I will be an English fish out of water in any case!
That's all, have a fantastic week whether you GenCan or GenCan't and we'll see you in the Shadows of Kilforth soon...
Cheers!

US/NA Backers Only - shipping this week
about 5 years ago
– Tue, Apr 02, 2019 at 02:26:45 AM
Hi guys,
QML is due to commence shipping this week - they said:
“We have a couple of existing projects that were in house and ready to roll first that we're working diligently to get through... I know this is a bit disappointing, but I will keep you updated as we progress through these other projects in case we can get this commenced a bit sooner.”
So, not quite as soon as I was originally assured, and most annoyingly not before the Shadows of Kilforth campaign finished, but still only days away and it means parcels should be going out this week. Apologies for the delay, I ask for your continuing patience whilst US/NA fulfilment commences in full!
