Technically this is a re-post and not sure on the digital items made physical and therefore I hope it's okay,
I wanted a physical memento of these cards that stuck out to me as a kid when I played BF originally.

I did extend the side walls for the upgrade level to fit the card size.

My contribution: An e-paper display that shows (among other things) the Map Of The Day. I’m still working on the programming and tweaking a few minor details, but the features are finished. Once it’s finished, it will sit on my desk at the office. (I still need to design the enclosure in CAD and 3D-print it.)
The main idea is that it displays the rain radar for my city every 30 minutes. Since I always walk home, I might occasionally leave work a little earlier or later depending on the weather.
And now, once a day, it also updates the Map of the Day. 🙂
Ult was kind enough to post the API on Discord earlier this year after I asked about it.
I drew the small panel at the bottom myself, pixel by pixel. The four orbs are meant to represent the four classic factions. The panel does not support purple particles, so it uses a mix of red and blue instead. The sword is meant to represent the Skylords desktop icon.

PS: I changed the map view specifically for the photo to keep my hometown a secret. 🙂

I have two submissions!
First is a playmat. Since I play Magic the Gathering, I thought it would be a nice way of promoting BattleForge at tournaments, while also just being an awesome artwork in general 😄  

 
Second is a 3D printed model of the promo Harvester!

Story Time
This one has actually been in the works for quite a while. I have worked on Skylords Reborn for over 5 years, and I really wanted something physical to honor and remind me of such an important part of my life. There are a couple of units I considered. Juggernaut is obviously the most classic BattleForge mascot. The issue is that I never had a personal connection to it. I mostly just remember playing against it. I also considered Parasite Swarm, which was the first Ultra Rare that caught my eye when I started out during the EA days, However, its card design is more interesting than its actual model, plus flying models result in weird constructions. Lastly, I considered Shadow Mage, one of my favourite units of all time. I think its a super interesting card, and after years of playing I still feel I'm not using it to its full potential. In the end, I decided on promo Harvester, which triggers quite a lot of fond PvP memories for me. 
Next, I needed a proper model to print, but this proved to be quite hard, since every model ends up in a T-pose in the editor. After the team made some model breakthroughs over the years, our tech-artist Titan was able to get me a custom pose. Ultralord was also kind enough to help me out with information regarding 3D printing, and even offered to print it for me. In the end, a coworker at my job had a 3d printer that was perfect for the job, so she printed it for me. After that, my girlfriend was kind enough to paint it. Big thanks to all of them, I think it turned out awesome!
Here are some more pictures:



 
Lastly, I made a little ''shrine'' of the playmat, boxart and harvester model. I still plan to print out the card itself as well to finish it up. 

this is my thing for the forge of creation

Here my thing for event 
Red thing say "Super Cool Guys Club"
The arrow pointing to him says Spearman
The thing point at the rocks says Cool rock for cool People
The thing pointing that Mumbo7 say's that's me
 

First came the Fire Season,
where the Strikers charged.
The Fire force was way too OP,
but honestly that was part of the fun.
Then came the Nature Season,
with the greatest of them all.
Promo Forest Elder stood so proud
what a beautiful card.
In the Shadow Season,
we finally found a challenge.
We struggled, we adapted,
and somehow had even more fun.
Now the Frost Season is coming.
Please, no Battleground missions.
Give us real PvE gameplay,
where freezing the time is what counts.
But what will the promo be?
Everyone keeps on guessing.
Soon enough we'll all find out.
After all,
Skylords Reborn is great.

Holy shit, I never expected one of those to actually still be around!
Also, it wouldn't be the first time around of skylords helping each other out with physical copies. I once bought a used copy of the game and mailed it all the way to Dutchy 🙂
 

Ah shit I absolutely need this, and the demo paper decks. If anyone has them for sale reach out to me please. (After Metagross has his copy ofcourse, don't want to snipe it away from him). 
 
 

BEHOLD -> im a proud owner of this exquisite item 🙂
Im 100% sure i got it from a giveaway. But i m can't recall if it was from EA, Phenomic, or a Magazine like GameStar. (but i think it was the official BattleForge website)
Have also no mails from back in the days to check. 
In the end there are 21 Songs in WAV format on the disk.
The inner side of the booklet is just an artwork.
 

Great greetings, people of the sky!
It is happening again !!!

Let me kick things of.
In 2023 a friend of mine said: Would it be funny to make a song on the melody from "We Didn't Start The Fire" sung by the Burning Spears.
We realised - writing a song is not as easy as you think 😅. Especial if you want it to base on SR and the Cards.
BUT TODAY I PRESENT TO YOU THE BURNING SPEARS - WHO STARTED THE FIRE
(Im not a writer or singer)
 

It's still work in progress, but we will consider this feedback. 

Makes you wonder where the Amii's were hiding that Orbital canon when you got to defend their butt in UV

Damn, Sunbridge Shrine got hands! 

Greetings Skylords!
A new month; a new Community Update! It's time to bring you up to speed with everything going on in Skylords Reborn!

Our team has been cooking and you don't want to miss it!
Our third season, Whispers of the Void, is coming to a close, but you can still complete challenges as we reopen progression for all seasons for the duration of July. Additionally, we have prepared and released a video encompassing all the feats we managed to achieve in the five years Skylords Reborn had been running now! Also, we have been hard at work to give Amii some more much-needed love with a defensive building card. And lastly, some more love for our recently added deck tag system. Read it, or our team will curse you with bad booster luck!
 
• Seasonal break - previous season challenges reactivated

Whispers of the Void is officially over, but that doesn't mean there won't be challenges left to do. For the whole month of July, you can complete challenges and catch up with progress of all seasons. Be it Whispers of the Void, Natural Selection or Primordial Fire.
You can progress challenges from 2.x to 6.x. Ranking-based challenges and repeatable challenges (1.x) are excluded. Use that time to progress any track you want; any progress you make counts! Even if you don't manage to unlock everything from a specific season, don't fret because an increasing discount is applied to all the items you can get from the season shop afterwards the further you progress.
 

 

The next season is slated for release on August 1st. With all the hints the next season should be obvious.
 
• 5 Year anniversary video

It's hard to believe, but the official rerelease of Battleforge through Skylords Reborn in December 2020 was over five years ago. Community members came and went, started new jobs, adventures, even families or overcame other hardships during that period. Community members who grew tight-knit over the course of the project and experienced everything we went through. A lot has changed during this time, and we are far from finished. So it would only be appropriate to commemorate this milestone by going through all these changes and additions in a dedicated video.
Watch it! Perhaps there is also something in store for you if you know what we mean. *winkwink*
 
• Card reveal: Amii Sunbridge Shrine

 
The original Battleforge concluded with only a single Amii card, namely Amii Phantom. Over time, we explored and expanded the identity of Amii with various card additions. However, what Amii is still missing to this day is a building dedicated to defense.
Without further ado, let's introduce: Amii Sunbridge Shrine!
Please note: The card is still in development and subject to change. The information shown here can change until its release.

 
Sun Beam: Every 4.5 seconds, the shrine calls down a ray of light that deals 963 damage to all enemies it strikes.
 
 
Fusion: The tower slowly gathers energy, which can be unleashed as a burst of radiation. 100 charges are gathered per second. For every friendly Monument within 75m, gather an additional 50 charges per second, up to a maximum of 250 charges per second with 3 nearby Monuments. A maximum of 5000 charges can be stored at once.
 
Solar Flare: Activate to emit a cone-shaped radiation wave that deals 1600 / 1750 / 2000 / 2400 damage to enemies in an arc of 50m, up to 9000 / 9750 / 10000 / 12000 in total. Knocks back small, medium, and large units. Needs to have gathered 5000 charges first. Reusable every 20 seconds.


Amii Sunbridge Shrine is a T4 Fortress with fairly restrictive orb requirements. Its regular attack, Sun Beam, deals damage in a line similar to Spikeroot. Its active ability, Solar Flare, serves as a nuke in a big arc, which has a flexible cooldown ranging from 20 to 50 seconds depending on how many Monuments are within a 75m radius around it. You can expect it to be similar in size to Volcano or Worldbreaker Gun.

Design Notes:

"The Amii are the creators of the Sunbridge Shrine, so we felt like it would make the perfect T4 Amii Fortress. Sunbridge Shrine is a new model building which casts a sunbeam that damages all enemies it touches. This means it has weak single-target damage, but potentially infinite multi-target damage, similar to Phantom Stampede. It also has the power to tap into nearby Monuments to increase its charge speed, allowing Skylords to unleash its ultimate ability, Solar Flare, more rapidly. If there is no Monument nearby, it recasts in 50 seconds, but if there are at least 3 Monuments nearby, it recharges every 20 seconds. We think these abilities are well-suited for Amii's ultimate defense building, and we hope that it will be as fun to play as it has been to design it. For all those players clamoring for more defense options, no need to fear, other factions will also be receiving new faction-specific towers and fortresses in the future."

Sunbridge Shrine will be released in a future content update.
 
• Art spotlight: Amii Sunbridge Shrine

"Perhaps his rays may shine light onto something very fitting soon."
-Community Update June 2026
As alluded to in last month's Community Update, we may have something fitting to show off soon from Ray. And here it is: his work on Sunbridge Shrine in all its shining glory!
 
Exploration and conceptualization:

"I created a 3D render of the tower in Marmoset Toolbag. I wanted an angle that has a clear silhouette and can clearly show its light beam attack."
-Ray Dezoir


Every artist has their own way and workflow on how to create an artwork from start to finish. Compared to our other artists, Ray starts with the 3D model we have at hand. While it is barren to say the least, the point of view and the model already deliver enough of a foundation to conclude the exploration stage.

Iterating on the concept:

"In Clip Studio Paint, I sketched a rough idea of the environment on top of the 3D render. I imagined trees in the background and green smoke or grass on the ground. "
-Ray Dezoir

The simple shapes and colours used already give off the usual vibes Amii's artworks and atmosphere have and show where the journey is headed. The iconic sun beam attack is already showcased front and center.
 
Applying basic shading:

"I blocked out the basic shapes of the tower on top of the 3D render."
-Ray Dezoir

The intended colour palette is at full display here. Notable differences from the original 3D model can be seen, and the sun beam is much fuller.

Fleshing out the background

"I painted the environment to make everything come together."
-Ray Dezoir

The added background was already beautiful to look at, and we wanted to keep it initially. However, it made the actual building look small in comparison, similar in size to a regular human.

Fixing the background:

"I forgot to consider the tower's size, so I made the environment smaller to make the tower look bigger."
-Ray Dezoir

Now the shrine is much more imposing in terms of size. Both the grass and the smoke made the cut. The only thing left is detailing the landscape and polishing it up.
 
Detailing and finishing touches:

"I polished the grass, the tower's details and shading, then added clouds to fill the space in the sky and adjusted the colors."
-Ray Dezoir

Final piece with final polish and final details showing off the building in great detail and the usual Amii atmosphere. You will notice that the sharpness of the artwork is particularly fitting to the game's original art design.
 
"During my process, I received and implemented feedback from the SR team, which was really helpful as it gave me better directions. This was my 2nd time creating a card illustration for SR, so I learned a lot especially about adapting to the art style. After the things I learned, the current SR illustrative work I do is going smoother."
-Ray Dezoir
 
A huge thanks to not only Ray for providing the artwork, but also to our members in the team delivering feedback to turn this piece into what it is today. No need to thank me.
 
• Updated deck tags

The recent changes to the deck menu and the addition of deck tags have been well received by you, but we also knew that it could be improved. So we decided to implement a few more changes to it to make it even more comfortable to use. Now tags are divided into specific categories; categories you can create yourself as well! By default, deck tags are divided into game modes and maps. You can expand or collapse the categories to show or hide the tags within them. The grid view remains unchanged.

Great greetings, People of the Sky
Last year's unusual PvP Event was EggBall. This year we have;



What is Battle Arena?
Its a 2v2 PvP Map where players get a random unit to fight. When your unit dies, the enemy gets one point, and you get a new unit.
The goal is to get 75 Points by using the full potential of your and your teammate's unit.
All players also have access to a spell operator that can support their unit with a variety of spells.
After a fixed time, the power level of units and spells will be increased.
The units and spells are random! So winning this event is based 50:50 on skill and luck.

The Rules:
The game mode is called Americano. In short:
Everyone teams up with every other player once. The matchmaking is not skill-based.
We will play for around 3h. Normally, you play 8 rounds, but if necessary, we can end the event early.
If there's only a few matchs remaining, we may play a bit longer.
Since I don't want everyone to register on a website just for one event, I will do the organisation. (Maybe I will get a co-admin)
The pairings will be shared on stream and here in the forum as soon as the events starts.
 

All you need to know:

As always - here is the recording if you want to have a look. (I really loved the base rush games)

Keep your eye out in the future as we are getting fairly close to doing an official release for dPvE.
