Here is the recording of the Winners Stream:
 

Interesting i personally had the feeling that there was more PvE Events this year then PvP.
Thats why i choose after 4x PvE-Battle of Tactics and PvP based idea 
But no worries im sure there will be more PvE Events in the upcoming months 👍

I know you are waiting for the next promo card.
But after Rogan and Vivi have a Promo Party, Moon was so sad - i have to make a Promo Moon.
Normal version is in first post.
But here you find the Gif 🙂
 

Great greetings, people of the Sky
Battle of Tactics is trying something new: Time for a Tactical-Tome-Tournament!

Different to a normal Tome-Tournament?
1. Public visible boosters
The content of all Boosters of each player will be visible publicly
2. Booster Types
Players have multiple general booster but also Wild-Boosters.
With these they can open all types of boosters, like a Pure-Fire-Booster to increase the chance of a key fire card for their planed deck.
3. Boosters per Player
The number of boosters is linked to their ELO. A higher experienced player has to work with a lower amount then a beginner:
S-Tier 139k-999k ELO  -->  9 General Boosters + 1 Wild-Booster
A-Tier 124k-139k ELO  -->10 General Boosters + 2 Wild-Booster
B-Tier 112k-123k ELO  --> 11 General Boosters + 3 Wild-Booster
C-Tier 100k-112k ELO  --> 12 General Boosters + 4 Wild-Booster
D-Tier 000k-100k ELO  --> 13 General Boosters + 5 Wild-Booster

Managed via Website
To support this event and future Tome games ,I have made a new website:
https://tome.t1421.de
On this website, players can open their boosters and have a public view on all opened ones.
There is also a filter code which can be added to your "custom_filter_extensions.json" for easier deckbuilding in game.
I have made a video about the features of the page, as well on how to use it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMLBZydTQPE

Rules
The tournament will be on the testserver, so all players have all cards.
To start the testserver, use the "LauncherTest.exe" in your BattleForge folder. The match format is Best Of 3 with no looser bracket. There is a group phase with a max of 8 players per group.
Only the best of each group will go into the final rounds. Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree, it is possible to have a remake. Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins. After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats.
The brackets will be updated automatically. The Map Pool is: Haladur, Simai, Elyon, Lajesh, Uro and Yrmia. The map of round one will be Haladur, after that its losers choose.
Against the second opponent, you start with Simai. third Elyon, etc.
(I will make notes in Challonge) First deck lock is done by a coin flip. (/roll 1) 
After that, the winner has to lock in first.
How to join and schedule
The event starts on                            10.12.2023 12:00
You can join till                                  10.12.2023 11:00

Player can start opening boosters at 10.12.2023 11:30
You can join the tournament by messaging me directly over
Discord
Forum  

There is a maximum of 32 players for this tournament.

I will have a discord server of easier communication. You still need to have a Challonge account!

To start the testserver, use the "LauncherTest.exe" in your BattleForge folder. The match format is Best Of 3 with no looser bracket. There is a group phase with a max of 8 players per group.
Only the best of each group will go into the final rounds. Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree, it is possible to have a remake. Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins. After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats.
The brackets will be updated automatically. The Map Pool is: Haladur, Simai, Elyon, Lajesh, Uro and Yrmia. The map of round one will be Haladur, after that its losers choose.
Against the second opponent, you start with Simai. third Elyon, etc.
(I will make notes in Challonge) First deck lock is done by a coin flip. (/roll 1) 
After that, the winner has to lock in first.

Great greetings, people of the Sky
Battle of Tactics is trying something new: Time for a Tactical-Tome-Tournament!

Different to a normal Tome-Tournament?
1. Public visible boosters
The content of all Boosters of each player will be visible publicly
2. Booster Types
Players have multiple general booster but also Wild-Boosters.
With these they can open all types of boosters, like a Pure-Fire-Booster to increase the chance of a key fire card for their planed deck.
3. Boosters per Player
The number of boosters is linked to their ELO. A higher experienced player has to work with a lower amount then a beginner:
S-Tier 139k-999k ELO  -->  9 General Boosters + 1 Wild-Booster
A-Tier 124k-139k ELO  -->10 General Boosters + 2 Wild-Booster
B-Tier 112k-123k ELO  --> 11 General Boosters + 3 Wild-Booster
C-Tier 100k-112k ELO  --> 12 General Boosters + 4 Wild-Booster
D-Tier 000k-100k ELO  --> 13 General Boosters + 5 Wild-Booster

To support this event and future Tome games ,I have made a new website:

There is also a filter code which can be added to your "custom_filter_extensions.json" for easier deckbuilding in game.

FAQ:
 

Skylords and Skyladies;
Masters of the Forge will shine a light on all those people working so tirelessly on Skylords Reborn - for the average Skylord, [Game Masters] are elite, mythical creatures too many know nothing about, and we will hopefully change that. So, in this dev-talk-like podcast series we will meet several Masters of the Forge in person, and hopefully I will be able to ask them questions that are interesting to you. And, you will also get the chance to ask them some questions! The series will be streamed on Twitch and afterwards uploaded on YouTube.
Please note that while the content created is supported by the SR Team and will be all about Skylords Reborn, this is no official dev-talk. The focus will be around the guest, what their duties are, how they feel about the game and its development - we will not elaborate future changes in depth or announce anything fancy. But hopefully we will know more about the guest and how It's like to be part of the SR Team.
In the seventh episode, I will present you a duo: [GM] @Ladadoos and [GM] @Zyna, both Project Lead; who are both steering the project through all ups and downs for a very long time now.
Quick Overview:
Guest                         [GM] Ladadoos and [GM] Zyna Date                           19. 11. 2023 Time                          19:30 CEST Link                            www.twitch.tv/kapostream
If you got any questions you would want to see asked, you are very welcome to drop me a DM here on the forums (@Kapo) or on Discord (#kapojones).

FAQ:
 

Great greetings, people of the Sky
Battle of Tactics is trying something new: Time for a Tactical-Tome-Tournament!

Different to a normal Tome-Tournament?
1. Public visible boosters
The content of all Boosters of each player will be visible publicly
2. Booster Types
Players have multiple general booster but also Wild-Boosters.
With these they can open all types of boosters, like a Pure-Fire-Booster to increase the chance of a key fire card for their planed deck.
3. Boosters per Player
The number of boosters is linked to their ELO. A higher experienced player has to work with a lower amount then a beginner:
S-Tier 139k-999k ELO  -->  9 General Boosters + 1 Wild-Booster
A-Tier 124k-139k ELO  -->10 General Boosters + 2 Wild-Booster
B-Tier 112k-123k ELO  --> 11 General Boosters + 3 Wild-Booster
C-Tier 100k-112k ELO  --> 12 General Boosters + 4 Wild-Booster
D-Tier 000k-100k ELO  --> 13 General Boosters + 5 Wild-Booster

Managed via Website
To support this event and future Tome games ,I have made a new website:
https://tome.t1421.de
On this website, players can open their boosters and have a public view on all opened ones.
There is also a filter code which can be added to your "custom_filter_extensions.json" for easier deckbuilding in game.
I have made a video about the features of the page, as well on how to use it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMLBZydTQPE

Rules
The tournament will be on the testserver, so all players have all cards.
To start the testserver, use the "LauncherTest.exe" in your BattleForge folder. The match format is Best Of 3 with no looser bracket. There is a group phase with a max of 8 players per group.
Only the best of each group will go into the final rounds. Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree, it is possible to have a remake. Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins. After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats.
The brackets will be updated automatically. The Map Pool is: Haladur, Simai, Elyon, Lajesh, Uro and Yrmia. The map of round one will be Haladur, after that its losers choose.
Against the second opponent, you start with Simai. third Elyon, etc.
(I will make notes in Challonge) First deck lock is done by a coin flip. (/roll 1) 
After that, the winner has to lock in first.

• Halloween Patch

Happy Halloween Skylords! Last weekend, we released a surprise Halloween patch. This patch contains various bugfixes and quality of life changes. Additionally, we have implemented some balance changes, including the previously announced Stronghold changes. 
We have also added the Fire-themed Forge. Keep yourself warm this month with this special themed Forge (active as a featured Forge till the end of November), or complete the achievement ''Never Thought of Him'' to permanently unlock the Forge in addition to 100.000 gold. This reward is retroactive, meaning those who already completed the achievement in the past automatically have the Fire-forge. 
Skylords might remember our Spooky Encounters Halloween Event from last year. We have now implemented a returning achievement, where you can earn a Lost Souls booster and a special Pumpkin-avatar for beating the map during the Halloween season. 
For those looking for a more classic event, we also have a Halloween event that went live earlier today. 
We hope you enjoy this special Halloween patch. You can find the full patch notes here. 
 
• New Card Reveal - Soulstone

This patch also contained the surprise reveal and release of Soulstone!
Today we would like to dive a bit deeper into its design, and how the release is both sudden and overdue.  
 

 
Soulstone is the very first building card we have introduced in the Rebirth Edition (if you don't count our Promo Worldbreaker Gun). It is a Frost card requiring only a single Frost orb, but with a unique twist: Skylords are able to upgrade the card to tier 2 once they have a second orb available. This allows the card to transition throughout the game, powering up alongside the other tools at your disposal. 
Upgrading the card reduces the cost for its memorial ability, and increase its lifepoints. Soulstone is a rare card and can drop from boosters or be reforged into. We also have a special Halloween event where you have a chance to earn it, more about that later in this Community Update.
 
 
 

Let's break down the card: 

Frozen Ward
Activate to trigger a global shielding spell that enchants every friendly structure to grant friendly units within a 20m radius an Ice Shield that absorbs up to 120 damage for 10 seconds. Units that already have an Ice Shield are unaffected. Each unit can only be affected once every 10 seconds. Lasts for 30 seconds. Also affects structures that are still under construction. Has a 60 seconds cool-down after the building was built. Reusable every 60 seconds.  
 
Memorial (mode change)
Activate to regenerate the full power of the Soulstone. After 2 seconds, the building gains Soul Armor and loses Frozen Ward. Requires 2 orbs to activate. Has a 60 seconds cool-down after the building was build. 
 

Soul Armor
Activate to trigger a global shielding spell that enchants every friendly structure to grant friendly units within a 20m radius an Ice Shield that absorbs up to 180 damage for 10 seconds. Units that already have an Ice Shield are unaffected. Each unit can only be affected once every 10 seconds. Lasts for 30 seconds. Also affects structures that are still under construction. Reusable every 60 seconds.
 
Soulstone has been in the making for quite a while now, and we would like to share some behind the scenes' information about its road to release. To do so, Lead Designer Windhunter will take you all the way back to 2021.
 
• Soulstone Design Notes

The release of Soulstone is a testament to how far the Skylords Reborn team has come in its development capacities. The original design concept for Soulstone dates back to June 2021, where it was one of the first cards ever designed by the faction design department. Soulstone's initial design pattern was very closely on the Soulstone players encounter in Defense of Hope, similar to how Banzai Lord is patterned closely on its eponymous mini-boss in Mo. The idea was that the player Soulstone would achieve its full its strength upon reaching T2 just as the Soulstone in Defense of Hope regenerates its strength partway through the mission, summoning Skyelfs to defend itself. We did not think that Frost needed a Skyelf spawner, but we did believe that Frost needed early game sustain and that providing shields would fit well with Soulstone's existing identity. In terms of initial vision and final design, the Soulstone we released a few days ago and the Soulstone we originally designed 28 months ago are highly similar. So why did it take so long?
The challenge of creating a card like Soulstone that could transform into a stronger version of itself upon reaching a higher tier was riddled with technical hurdles. Despite how much we have achieved, it is important to remember that we do not have the source code for BattleForge. Much of what we do is a slow process of reverse engineering and subsequent tool development to allow ourselves to make use of that reverse engineering. Many of our new cards and major redesigns to existing cards have required at least one new mechanic to be successfully reverse engineered before they could proceed. It is a frequent occurrence for our team's faction designers to put forward an idea, have it be accepted as worthwhile to pursue, only for development to hit a wall while we wait for our developers to play Marco Polo with the game engine until they can isolate the correct variable that then allows our card implementers to make the card a reality.
For Soulstone, the primary challenge was the description length. Embedding the functionalities of two cards would result in an exceedingly lengthy description, unprecedented in the game. When we run into major issues like this, we ask ourselves, can we design around it? The best idea we had was to make the Memorial ability self-destruct the existing Soulstone and summon a new, better Soulstone in its place. Altar of Chaos and Portal Nexus both summon new buildings, so this was clearly possible. A little janky, but a promising workaround nonetheless, except that both Altar of Chaos and Portal Nexus' summon abilities are hardcoded, meaning that if we add the ability to a different building, it will always and only summon the building from the original ability. Additionally, even the ability icons were hardcoded, so even if we got it to work, Soulstone would have had an Altar of Chaos icon on it. For regular followers of our Community Updates, you may have pieced together that this same issue would seem to be true for our upcoming card Bedrock, which summons its own Stone Launcher, and if so, you would now have a better understanding of one reason for why said card is not yet released. Anyway, the workaround also proved impossible, so we decided to adjust the design so both the T1 and T2 version could reasonably fit into a single card.
While lacking its originally intended evolution mechanic, Soulstone would have still made a good addition to the game. We implemented the global shields and found that it worked fine. Then we started designing a slightly frostier texture for the building, the original is quite gray, only to find that when we tried to construct the Soulstone in-game that the building got stuck under the ground. It was there, but completely buried. With no knowledge of how to fix this issue, we had to abandon the possibility of using the Soulstone building itself. What we knew we could do was retexture existing buildings with functioning build animations, so we decided to change the name and use a different building instead. Our most promising attempt was trying to retexture Fountain of Rebirth, turning its roots into icicles in the process.
After a half dozen aborted tries leading to more and more frustration from the art team, and in light of the ongoing implementation struggles, we made the decision to shelve the development of Soulstone for the time being. This, while the right decision, became very awkward for us as a team because we justified several changes to Frost T1 cards with the reasoning that a new "Frost T1 sustain option" would be releasing next patch. Obviously, this was no longer true, so we scrambled to make changes to Northern Keep as compensation. Instances like this one are one reason we are careful not to announce things until we are sure they are possible.
For nearly two years, Soulstone sat untouched and largely forgotten until early this summer one of the team members pointed out that the original Soulstone design was now fully possible. We did a few preliminary tests and discovered that the team member was correct. In the course of two years, we had advanced our understanding of the game to the point that what was previously impossible was now relatively simple. Once the various card and ability artworks were finished, the building retextured, and the 3D FX crafted, the card implementation took a little under a week. At long last, on Oct. 28th 2023, Soulstone made its way into the Forge.
