Hello Friends,
We have recently heard a call for greater communication from The Maestro Team outside of our Kickstarter campaigns. Given how large MaestroMedia.com has grown (and will continue to grow!) we believe that now is the best time to start to release a monthly newsletter to keep everyone in the loop! We look forward to this being the first of many steps we implement on our path to becoming the best board game publisher we can be for all of you. We would like to take this time to thank you all for your support: We likely sound like a broken record at this point if you follow all of our projects, but without you all, none of this would be possible and this fact does not go unnoticed. Now without further adieu, please enjoy the March 2024 Maestro Media Newsletter!
Valentine's Day Promotion Fulfillment
We are pleased to announce that many orders put on hold by the warehouse consolidation have been shipped out. While we were hoping to get them all done before the end of the month, your overwhelming support led to many more orders than anticipated! For the remaining orders, we estimate that fulfillment will be completed around mid-March. Thank you for your continued patience as we chug away behind the scenes to get the rest of the orders shipped!
If you have any questions about your order(s), please feel free to reach out to us on our Contact Us page and we will be happy to offer you our personalized assistance!
Sally Face: Strange Nightmares Pre-orders launch
After a successful Kickstarter campaign featuring over 3,000 backers, we have been hard at work bringing Sally Face: Strange Nightmares to life! For those unfamiliar, Sally Face: Strange Nightmares is a thrilling cooperative tabletop game based on Steve Gabry's award-winning video game, Sally Face. In it, you will be tasked with unraveling the mysteries with your friends as you explore the Addison Apartments before the corruption takes over! Will you be able to uncover the secrets and unveil the truth in this strange alternate retelling of the events of the hit video game?
After a year’s worth of hard work, we are pleased to announce that Strange Nightmares has begun printing! With this, we are excitedly launching pre-orders on Maestromedia.com on March 15th. Be on the lookout for future announcements detailing what comes with this spooky pre-order!
Strange Boxes: Box 9
On that note, Strange Boxes: Box 9 has launched on our site and features art from a fan hand-picked by Steve Gabry, Nessie Bessie. This awesome T-shirt will come alongside a whole host of other goodies, including an art print featuring their design, a goat head pin, and the 9th installment of the Strange Boxes Mystery titled, “Chapter 9: Phelps Ministry". To check it out, visit Maestromedia.com!
For those subscribed monthly to Strange Boxes, box 7 (and Quarterly box 2 for our KS subscribers) will ship next week. Box 8 will ship by the end of the month!
Streamer Standoff Launch
In collaboration with top YouTuber/Streamer DrLupo, we are excited to announce that as part of DrLupo’s birthday stream, we will be launching pre-orders for our new card game Streamer Standoff! On March 20th, 500 copies of the game will be available for purchase via Youtube Shopping. Once these 500 copies are sold out, pre-orders will begin on Maestromedia.com. The 500 copies will ship right away while the pre-ordered games will ship in June!
