Roll Saga Baseball
Newsletter
June 16, 2015
Hello everyone, we have a few important updates that we've entitled, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."
The Good. As most of you know, there have been many requests to modify the number of teams that will come with Roll Saga Baseball. So, in the full spirit of listening and taking to heart all that is suggested, we've decided to upgrade the number of teams from 2 to 30. That's right - every single team will be included!

Update: The remaining videos in the 10 part video series (videos #3 through #10) will be combined into one full video that is a descriptive overview of the general game mechanics in Roll Saga. The first two videos (#1 and #2) are also being remade as well and merged into this master video in order to ensure consistent theme and elaboration.
This all-in-one video which will be of video footage and voice narration will be finalized and published on Wednesday, June 24, 2015 - 7 days prior to our Kickstarter release.
Thank you for your continued interest in Roll Saga Baseball. We look forward to this video's release and our imminent Kickstarter campaign.
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!
Thank you!

Great News! Roll Saga Baseball was just featured on Board Game Breakfast (The Dice Tower) by Steven Tower from After Further Review with Steve Tower. And once again, we are greatly appreciative of this coverage and interest. Thank you, Steve, and thank you, Dice Tower.
Please enjoy the video, and if you want to skip ahead to the segment by Steve featuring Roll Saga, please advance the video to 22:46.
The preview of Roll Saga Baseball begins at 1:40
Video Update: The videos (#2 and #3) that we scheduled for today, June 8, 2015, will be delayed until Wednesday, June 10, 2015.
We apologize for this delay but we can tell you that the next two videos will be more explanatory and will feature voice narration with video footage of actual game play: pitching, batting, base running, and fielding.
The reason for the delay is that we changed the entire format and are moving away from the style of the last two videos - we feel that they did not accurately demonstrate game mechanics well and because of excessive animation and text, were slow, harder to follow, and did not translate well across mobile devices.
Our new format will be a standard for all subsequent videos: all videos will have voice narration and actual video footage of entire sequences. Very little animation or text will be used, except as a supplement to voice and video.
We again apologize for this delay, but we assure you that it is not without good cause. Thanks for your patience. And if anyone has any suggestions, please do not hesitate.
Thank you.

Did Jackie Mitchell, the 17 year old girl from Tennessee really strike out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig? Fact or Fiction?
All 30 Team Folio covers designed and ready for the printer. Wish we could have used full team names and logos, but without MLB licensing that's not quite legal. So for the time, until we secure licensing, we're going with the true team colors and city.
We say true colors because these colors on the Team Folios have been matched exactly to that team's asset branding specifications (in HEX and RGB) and were chosen based on the predominant color scheme extant throughout the organization.
Cities that have more than one team are marked as such with the first letter of the team name, e.g New York-Y to distinguish from NY-M.
Of course all teams are arranged by division, but we wanted to post them all here at once.
