As much as I love this hobby, like a lot of people I struggle to find time to dedicate to painting. I’m a little bit obsessive however when it comes to all the trimmings that are required to play our beloved game. Especially tokens and markers.

What I’m really saying is I like everything to match and be themed to the race that I’m using. This urge to have everything I need to play that race, to have it all look amazing and match the theme, has inspired me to produce this new campaign.

The aim of this campaign is to produce stunning and unique items for human teams found in the fantasy football universe. The purpose of this campaign is to design and produce all you will need for your human team. Below is a breakdown of what is included and I’m sure you will agree this is an impressive list of items that you will receive should you wish to back the campaign. Alongside this will be stretch goals that build upon the main items in the campaign. If all that was not enough, and if you missed out on my previous campaigns, you can also get hold of those items in the form of the nine add-ons perks; just add them to basket at checkout with no extra cost to shipping.

I’ve always aimed to make my items special and long-lasting. These tokens will be produced in zinc-alloy (as per my previous Coins of Corruption project), only this time I will be utilising a 3D mould technology. This gives an increased level of detail and enables designs to come to life. It’s an impressive upgrade from previous works and a worthwhile one. I've been blown away by people's responses to my previous projects; revealing that fantasy football fans and collectors love premium products and feel that they truly enhance their gaming experience.

This will be the third campaign I have produced for the community I love being a part of, and I hope you can be a part of helping me produce these truly unique items, now, and in the future.

Cheers,
Duncan

"Since the dawn of time many have tried to profiteer from the popularity of the beautiful game; none more so than the taverns, inns and watering holes that coalesce wherever blood is spilled to appease the one, true, malevolent sporting god.

In the lands of men, the most infamous of these is The Spread Eagle. Situated in a wide but shallow hollow besides a cross-roads at the mid-point between the great cities of men, "The Spread" (as it is affectionately known), has never been short on custom. For centuries, swathes of thirsty revellers have made a point to stop by on their way to-and-from games contested by roaming teams throughout the realm.

Nobody is certain exactly when the tavern was built, or why it would have been built out in the middle of nowhere, but locals relate it to the legend of the great eagles of old. During a mass migration millennia ago, a great convocation of eagles is said to have flown over the lands now occupied by men and, exhausted by such a long journey, collapsed out of the sky. As the giant avian specimens crashed into the ground, the sheer force of impact dispersed soil and stone, forging craters under their exhausted bodies. Once recuperated, the eagles chose to remain and nest in the very hollows where they had crashed. It is these eagles that have ignited the minds of men and inspired the emblems of teams forged out of these areas. It is in one of these hollows that The Spread Eagle is rumoured to have been built as a place for people to honour their legacy..."

Any self-respecting fantasy football team needs a mascot. Humans are no exception and, in honour of the Spread Eagle's notorious fantasy football team the "Beakbreakers" (home turf: "the Guano Garden"), the eagle has inspired this campaign in many ways as you will soon see.

The Team Icon Token, unlike all the others in the project, does not have a specific use. So, feel free to use it in whatever creative way you wish. Be sure to let me know if you come up with something interesting!

Produced in a zinc-alloy with antique silver and gold plating finished with coloured enamel.

As many of my league friends in the Leicester Blood Bowl League (LBBL) will attest, I’m pretty forgetful. Over the years I’ve got much better at remembering to move the turn marker, but sometimes we all lapse and forget to move it, and sometimes it becomes a confusing mess working out who kicked and received.

To alleviate this issue, I’ve designed not just one turn marker token, but two.

Depending on who chooses to kick or receive, this will dictate which of the two tokens you select to use first.

For example, let’s say you chose to receive the ball in turn 1. In this case, you use the Received token. Now you will always know that your opponent should always be following you on the turn track. If you are feeling generous you can even hand them your Kicked token to use on their track (just make sure they give it you back at the end of the game!).

Like all the tokens in this campaign, they are highly detailed and use 3D mould technology to bring them to life. They are designed to fit the recent release of our favourite fantasy football game's dugouts, but can pretty much be used with any variant.

I’m not going to lie to you, I’m not great at this game. If, like me, you hardly score any touchdowns, you will now have an extra incentive to visit the end-zone just to handle this beautifully crafted, highly detailed, score marker!

The ball token! This new and improved token is a must for any coach who actually cares about the ball and bothers to carry it - there’s always one! The concept remains similar to the previous campaign, compatible with both 25mm and 32mm bases, doubled-sided and with built in scatter template. This updated edition has larger text for easier reading, tighter fitting to help secure the miniature, nail indent to aid picking up and some nice human team details with the 3D claws of an eagle holding it tight!

Produced in a zinc-alloy with antique silver plating and coloured enamel.

Re-rolls... who needs them? Am I right? Well, there is some debate about re-roll use for sure. I’m not particularly competitive by nature, so in tournaments tend to go without them.

Seriously though, they are an essential part of the game we love.

(Top Tip! Placing them onto the re-roll track in your corresponding turn when you use them helps show that the re-roll is spent and can be no longer used this turn.)

Having more fans turn up to support your team gives you certain advantages in life. That is assuming you remember that you have +1/+2 FAME in the first place!

Designed to hang around in your dugout you won’t miss this fantastic token with its doubled-sided goodness to show either +1 or +2 FAME for the match.

Produced in a zinc-alloy with antique silver plating and coloured enamel.

Just like the Coins of Corruption campaign, this new campaign (and all future campaigns) will also feature a limited edition token. Limited to only 100 numbered tokens, you can be a part of this unique club. Each limited edition token will come in its own velvet presentation case. Each backer of the limited edition will also receive the standard FAME Token, giving you both versions.

Got a favourite number? Backed the limited edition Kick-Off Coin and want to match what you already have? As a limited edition backer you will also be able to request which engraved number (001-100) token you get. It’s up to you!

Once you’ve backed the limited edition perk, just get in touch via email to secure your number and you will receive a link to a webpage to make your selection. This is on a strictly first come first served basis.

I love ogres! But sometimes they just will not go and thump that opposition player, damnit! To show that your teams ogre is not responding to your clear instructions, I’ve developed this soft silicone ring so it can be placed over the ogre to show its current state of mind – Bonehead.

It’s been designed with the miniature in mind; a soft, durable ring that will not damage your paint job (assuming you have one!). Let’s just hope you don’t have to use it that much.

Fancy yourself as an Ogre Team Coach? Well, you can pickup extra Bonehead bands at checkout!

Ogres are big people and, as a pretty big guy myself, I understand fully the annoyance of fitting into small places; forever bumping my head and being asked by little old ladies at the supermarket to reach the high shelves for them.

This token aims to solve the problem of trying to lay your big guy down into a small space and/or not wanting to lay down a fantastic paint job. Designed as a double-sided token, you can simply use the two sides to show your ogre as either stunned or prone. Beautifully illustrated and rendered fantastically into 3D, this makes an awesome addition to this project line-up.

"What fresh hell is this?!" I hear you ask. Well, as much as I love producing awesome tokens, I also love miniatures. I’ve always wanted to produce a miniature because I’m attracted to the creative process that goes into producing them. I’m in awe of sculptors, I just don’t know how they do it!

This coach miniature is something special. As I’m sure you will agree, the miniature looks incredible and it really captures the style of fantasy football, with tonnes of details.

Produced at 32mm scale and cast in either your choice of white metal or resin, it’s an awesome addition to the campaign and I’m super excited to confirm that each one of my campaigns will always have a coach miniature included.

As you may or may not know, I’m a big fan of casualties in fantasy football. My previous casualty dice project was a celebration of this (the project was well received, and you can buy the casualty dice as an add-on perk to this campaign if you missed it).

This time round I’ve produced a beautifully designed apothecary token to show when you’ve used up your only chance to save one of your players. We all know that feeling of having had to use the apothecary in turn 1 and play the rest of the match with no chance of saving your star team member. The fear is tangible, and your opponent is no doubt freaking loving it! This awesome double-sided token is a fantastic addition to this project and your team’s dugout.

Produced in a zinc-alloy with antique silver and gold plating finished with coloured enamel.

The wizard! It can be expensive, and that makes it bloody annoying when you forget to use it in a match. Not anymore!

With this beautiful token sat in your dugout, never again will you forget to zap that opposing player or vaporise that cage*.

Double-sided to help track its use, this really will light up not only your dugout, but also your opponent’s players!

"Eyrie Beers... for when you're spitting feathers."

Eyrie Beers is a brewery attached to the legendary Spread Eagle tavern. Primarily fuelling violence and quenching the thirst of the dedicated clientele of The Spread, Eyrie Beers' murky brown ales are poured throughout taverns and dive bars across the land.

Kegs of ale! Wonderful! This fantastic double-sided token serves to provide you with a choice of ale to aid in the recovery of your knocked-out players:

Side 1: " Fouler's Fist - Silencer of wagging tongues"

Fouler's Fist is Eyrie's second-best known brew, although not one of its biggest sellers. Brewed to satisfy the snobbery of the more elite calibre of customer from the noble halls of elvish kingdoms, Fouler's Fist is a deep purple and sour beer brewed using forest fruits and a secret blend of botanicals. Often drunk in half measures, amongst common-folk it once was perceived as a "soft" drink and was the centre of much mockery. It's very name was derived to make more "lightweight" drinkers feel a bit better about themselves while drinking it. Tales abound, however, of the slaughter of a whole section of The Spread Eagle's locals when a dashing elven prince is said to have ordered a measure of Fouler's Fist and demanded it be served in a wine flute. The locals delighted in what they perceived to be a weedy and pathetic drink and began to mock the regal pointy-ear. Unfortunately for the locals, the prince had an attaché of the royal guard outside and a massacre ensued. Ever since, Fouler's Fist's reputation has somewhat changed.

Fouler's Fist, being a relatively light ale, gives only a +1 to your knockout rolls.

Side 2: "Captain's Head - For the hero in your team... give Head!"

In honour of Guillaume Guildglove, the legendary leaping captain of The Spread's short-lived Sunday league side, the Beakbreakers, The Captain's Head is Eyries' biggest selling brew. Guildglove's reputation for physics defying intercepts and diving catches is only surpassed by lunacy of his demise. In the dying moments of the Inter-Boozer Cup Final against The Armistice Arms, Guildglove rose from his surround of tackle-zones to try to intercept a long-bomb into the Spread's endzone only to have his head permanently detached from his highly sprung body by the clumsily pawing hand of The Arms' resident ogre (and chef) Bunty Pillowpalm. As The Spread were 3-0 up at the time, Guildglove's leap of faith was reported as "ill-advised", but received the biggest cheer of the night as the ball pinged off his decapitated head!

Captain's Head is a cloudy, chestnut brown, lukewarm best bitter with a perfume of ditch water and victory, tasting notes of dandelion and ditch-weed, and a gritty mouth-feel. It's popularity stems from its cheek warming strength rather than the sophistication of its flavour. Just about palatable to all races, it has become the associated beer of choice for the discerning fan of the beautiful game.

Captain's Head, a much stronger and more effective way of persuading your players to get back onto the pitch, adds a thirst quenching +2 to your KO rolls to get them moving.

Simply use the side showing the brand of ale you've bought for the team and stick it in your KO Box.

The usefulness of the token does not end here; it has a built-in bottle opener which allows the coach, staff and/or opponent to enjoy a bottle or two of the beverage of their choice. Simply use the token to crack open your favourite bottle.

I hope you’ll agree that’s quite an impressive collection of items. To help backers understand what is included at a glance, here is a quick summary.

Team Icon Token
Kicked Token
Received Token
Score Token
x3 Re-Roll Tokens (x3 unique designs if stretch goals reached)
Ogre Bonehead Band
Ogre Stunned/Prone Token
FAME Token
Limited Edition FAME Token (if backing the limited edition perk)
Team Apothecary Token
Ball Carrier Token
32mm Coach Miniature (in Resin or Metal)
Wizard Token
Kegs Token (with built in bottle opener)

That’s a total of 15 incredibly unique items coming your way, 16 if you back the limited edition! Both perks will also come with any additional stretch goals that become unlocked during the campaign.

I’d like to think this campaign provides incredibly good value considering how many items are included, the quality and the durability of the items, and the fact that none of the items (aside from the coach miniature) needs to be built or painted. They come ready to go straight out of the box and can be enjoyed for years.

Talking of boxes, I do plan to produce some packaging for this campaign, just like I did for Coins of Corruption. Just like the CoC I will design and produce the box once I know the campaign has funded, and more importantly, what stretch goals have unlocked. There is no point me trying to produce packaging until I know precisely what I need to package.

I’m a huge fan of patches, and what sort of fantasy football team would not have a patch to represent their team? Each patch will be suited to each race I produce going forward, always high quality with 100% embroidered finish. Iron-on material on the back as standard.

Dice! Love them. Collect them. Want them! Here we have x2 D6 16mm transparent red gem Dice. The Team Icon adorns the number six side and produced to a very high quality.

Block Dice are a pretty important part of Fantasy football; how else are we going to induce the urge to flip a table if we are not rolling them? Produced to match the Team D6 pictured above in a transparent red gem with custom, unique and very clear symbols I think you will find these dice a fantastic part of your collection.

There are two types of people in this world, people think dice cups are the best way to roll dice and people who are wrong (jokes!). This fantastic dice cup will ensure your beautiful dice will stay controlled, avoiding the embarrassment of them smashing into your opponent’s fantastically painted miniatures. Finished in a PU leather, metallic gold icon and soft velvet interior, this cup has it all!

This dice cup mat is designed to go hand in hand with the dice cup above. Finished in the same way, it’s a winning combination. It will not only keep your shiny dice from getting scuffed from the table you are using but will also mean you don’t give anyone a headache from slamming your cup into the table. Come on guys, let’s not slam too hard. Save that for when you really need that special roll to succeed; it works!

With 15+ awesome tokens and dice to look after you are going to need something to keep them all in. This awesome bag is designed to do just that. Finished in the same black leather but with red accents, this bag will really help keep all your treasured items together.

As standard the campaign perks come with three re-rolls. However, should £14,000 be raised in the campaign then I will produce another re-roll token design, increasing the items uniqueness.

Image is concept level Work In Progress and does not represent final artwork or product.

Should £16,000 be raised in the campaign then I will produce another re-roll token design, increasing the items uniqueness even further. If this stretch goal is unlocked it will mean both of the campaigns main perks will come with three unique re-rolls as standard.

Image is concept level Work In Progress and does not represent final artwork or product.

The Early Bird Reward for this campaign, like the campaign itself, is unique.

It works like this: the first 48 backers will get a free set of x2D6 with their pledge. The set will be picked at random and placed into your shipment. There are only 6 sets of each type pictured above, making them highly collectable. So, what are you waiting for? Better get on it before they all fly!

The tokens in this campaign go through many phases to become a reality, from initial sketches through to a finished artwork piece. From the initial sketches it is processed into the production concept: a view or target for the finished token. From there it is converted into a 3D CNC view for production. Once produced it goes through more processes, such as plating and enamel colouring. Finally, it is packed up into a PVC sleeve and delivered.

Add-on perks can be purchased at the checkout when you complete your order. They do not require any additional shipping costs and are highly discounted, a perfect time to make savings and pickup items you may have missed out on previously.

Every game of fantasy football starts with a kick-off. The referee flips the coin after a coach has picked a side. Heads or Tentacles? There are even myths about coaches rolling dice to see who kicks and receives.

Well, no more! I’m very proud of this coin, confident that it is at least the equal of any fantasy football community produced coin in existence. A quality item for a momentous choice - kick or receive?

Produced in antique silver plating.

Being the coach of a fantasy football team is a difficult and frequently violently curtailed career choice. Some are better than others at dealing with the stresses of coaching a team, prowling the sidelines, barking orders and questioning the calls and parentage of the referee. Sometimes they go a little too far…

Assuming all is well, this coach coin shows your head coach where they belong; in the dugout. Should they go too far and have to be removed from the game just for politely suggesting at knifepoint that the ref lets their poor little chainsaw back on the pitch then simply turn this coin over to show your coach has left the dugout.

With any luck, they'll recover from their 'security escort' in time for the next match…

Produced in antique silver plating and coloured enamel.

A High-Quality Embroidered Patch for the 'FAS' - the Foul Appreciation Society! This patch is produced to its usual high standard and comes with an iron-on material on the reverse. I plan to slap mine onto my favorite shirt and show the world just how foul I am.

Two dice, one 6-sided engraved 16mm opaque white die and the other an 8-sided engraved red die. You will in all likelihood be familiar with this mechanic for your favourite fantasy football game.

These dice design shows clearly what the result is. No fumbling about getting the two numbers mixed up etc. In an instant you can see what’s happened because the sides of the dice are specifically designed this way. Should you require more information detailing the seriousness of the injury, you will be able to reference the handy, high quality reference card included with each set of dice.

Bribery! Such a wonderful thing. If you have deep enough pockets you can really gain an advantage with these. Foul to your heart's content safe in the knowledge that you can just pay off the referee should they have the temerity to try to enforce the rules.

Be careful though as referees can be greedy, and you may need more than one to convince them to look the other way. So spend these valuable coins wisely.

You can track your spending by turning each one over after use. The bloody tears on the reverse side of each coin will be a dead giveaway as to its status.

Try not to roll too many ones…

Produced in antique gold plating and coloured enamel.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, bribes as hard as goblins do. They are masters at it. Which is just as well as they're terrible at everything else! They work hard to subvert the rules, so much so that the little buggers stole the original bribe coin die stamps and produced their own versions, with some very dubious amendments! They have even tried to dodge showing if they have used them at all - very sneaky stuff - the gits!

Never fear though, because the bloody tears reverse side always gives away the status of the bribe.

Produced in antique bronze plating and coloured enamel.

This add-on is perfect for those of you who want to pickup both sets of bribe coins for your collection. This add-on offers the best value for money and comes with x2 FAS Patches and Wizard Card Decks. 

The Indiegogo platform now enables you to buy add on perks (3) when you purchase your chosen main perk (1). Simply add whichever add on perks (3) take your fancy at the time of the checkout process and Indiegogo will do the rest (2). There is no extra shipping costs for add on perks, which means this is a fantastic opportunity to pick up previous items you may have missed out on, because they have discounted prices compared to previously. There are nine add on perks to choose from, so look out for the scroll bar on the right hand side to reveal them all. (4)

Coach Coin
Kick-Off Coin
Casualty Dice
Extra Re-Rolls (x3)
Ogre Bonehead Bands (x6)
Bribe Coins + FAS Patch (x3)
Goblin Bribe Coins + FAS Patch (x3)

My name is Duncan; I’m a 39-year-old self-employed designer with 22+ years of design industry experience, living in Leicester, UK with my wife and two children. I’m also the founder and retired Commissioner of the Leicester Blood Bowl League.

One of my duties as Commissioner of the Leicester Blood Bowl League was to attract and retain Blood Bowl Coaches from all over the county of Leicestershire and beyond. To achieve this, each coach that takes part in and completes a league season with us is presented with a loot item. Previously we’ve had unique dog tags, poker chips, dice bags and, in Season III, a set of high-quality bribe coins. These went down very well and the spare sets that the LBBL did have (due to a minimum order amount) sold very quickly to overseas collectors and are incredibly rare.

As a design fanatic I like to think I have a good feel for what good design should look like and how it should perform. This led me to launch my first Indiegogo campaign for my Casualty Dice which successfully funded in under 24hrs and went on to raise 946% of the original goal. Click the image to see the full details on its project page:

My last crowdfunded project was the highly successful Coins of Corruption. This project celebrated the darker side of the game of fantasy football, funding was achieved in under just 2hrs and went on to raise £8,965.00 - 326% of its original goal. To say I was pleased with how the community responded to this untested concept would be a huge understatement and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who backed the project, and also those who purchased the limited remaining items after the project had been delivered to backers. Click the image to see the full details on its project page:

I just love to design cool stuff, no matter how small or large the idea. I get a real kick out of seeing people using products I have created, and this is where I hope you, the community can come in and help my vision for these human tokens to become a reality. The plan for my campaigns going forward is quite a simple one. I would like to produce a set of beautiful items and accessories for each race that resides in the fantasy football universe. These will be highly collectable and have limited edition elements to them. Eventually producing all the races is going to take some time, but it’s an objective I’m passionate about. I’m very attracted to the idea of having a custom set for each race you can just pickup and use out of the box, along with all the accessories that comes with it that are required for the game we all love to play.

If you have backed any of my projects previously you will know that I’m fanatical about only producing premium quality items – this is reflected in what you received as a backer, you know the quality of these items and that quality WILL be provided again in this project, and into the future.

This project does not aim to break any technological bounds, nor does it pretend to be anything other than an opportunity for me to bring my design ideas to life, and for you in the community to have fun with them. It’s in my nature to share and I very much want to share this with you.

I’m deliberately using 3D die casting and enamels because, despite it being more expensive, it’s by far the best quality finish and has an increased longevity over any other type of production process. The bonus being that they arrive ready to use out of the box!

Backers can choose from two different perks, the standard perk or the limited edition perk. Each limited edition item has a unique number laser engraved into it and only 100 will ever be produced. If you wish to select a specific number, or perhaps to match the number from your Coins of Corruption limited edition, please email me after purchasing your limited edition perk and I will get back in touch. This will be a first come first served basis.

After my previous Coins of Corruption campaign had finished, I made a couple of tweaks to the artwork of one of the coins. The response was mostly positive, and I think most people understood the reasons why I made them. In a nutshell I wanted to improve the design and increase the size of the coin so that more detail would come through on the finished item.

I would like to state clearly here before the campaign ends that I would also potentially do the same for this project. The visuals you see are the target for what I want to deliver, and as you can see from the tokens that I have produced (team icon, limited edition FAME) as a sample, I can achieve what the concept shows. I’d just like to be honest and upfront that there ‘may’ be changes to items in the campaign after it’s finished. This will ONLY ever be for improving the design and atheistic, never to make anything cheaper or easier for me. If you know me well enough you will know I’m a bit of a fanatic and I’m only interested in making the items the best they can be. I hope you can put your trust in me to deliver the very best items and come aboard and back the campaign and make it a reality.

Please also refer to the FAQ for this campaign, I have filled it with typical questions and answers, some of which may answer your queries, if it does not, please do feel free to get in touch, I'm happy to help you.

I like to think I’m a trusted member of the fantasy football community and I value that trust immensely. I responsibly managed the finances of the previous campaigns I produced and delivered to hundreds of backers around the world. I have produced these types of products in the past, so I’m very confident in completing this campaign to the high standard you’ve come to expect from me and my Charlie Victor brand. I think the point I’m trying to make is you can trust in me to deliver this project to you; my reputation depends on it.

There is not really much in terms of challenges that haven’t already been overcome. I have the design concepts completed and I’m using a trusted supplier that can produce the quantities I need. I’ve completed these projects previously and understand the challenges of shipping products across the world. I’m 100% confident that I’m equipped to deliver this project. 

I aim to start shipping to backers around July 2020 or earlier if possible.

Please consider backing this campaign and if you do choose to do so, please also consider spreading the word to as many people as you can – this is critical to a successful campaign. After the Coins of Corruption campaign closed, I had many people message me wanting to purchase the campaign's perks. It’s great to have these people come forward, but even better if they back the campaign in the first instance, this helps unlock more stretch goals. If, however you choose not to back this campaign then please feel free to let me know why. Feedback, good or bad, is important to me. This support would be very much appreciated and could make all the difference in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to read my campaign, and I hope you choose to help me succeed on this passion project of mine. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask; I'll be ready and waiting to answer them.

Cheers!
Duncan
