With the Android and Demo versions officially released, we can now finally move forward. We still have iPads to reach, and the holidays are upon us. Here’s this week in Scrolls!

Community kindness

Our biggest observation post-launch has been how welcoming the existing community has been to new players. We really are overwhelmed with the positive environment everyone has created. It’s warming to see beginners ask for help or guidance in the general chat channels and see thoughtful responses and genuine friendliness. Honestly, that can be pretty rare in the crazy jungle that is The Internet. It really speaks to the maturity and supportive nature of the type of players who are attracted to Scrolls. We are proud and honored to have such a crew with us.

We really cannot say “thank you” enough.

Scrolls Survival Guide

If you haven’t seen it, community member and long-time contributor iScrE4m has put together a great beginner’s resource guide to Scrolls. It really is a fine place to start if you have some questions about where to begin. Have a look at the Scrolls Survival Guide in the r/Scrolls subreddit here.

Pre-constructed Deck Competition

Keep an eye out for more on this next week. We’ll be putting together a contest for players to submit their best ideas for a new set of pre-constructed decks that will be made available in the store. Start thinking about ideas for a Waypoints themed deck for each faction. It’ll be coming soon to a Scrolldier.com near you.

Scrolls news site – Roasted Bean Potion

Make sure you check out what may be the best Scrolls news resource yet: Roastedbeanpotion.com. It has had impressive day-to-day coverage on Scrolls events for the past couple of weeks. You can even register and submit an article of your own. Head there to get some help on Daily Trials or to find the latest info on upcoming tournaments or community events.

Wait a minute, isn’t a roasted bean potion just another term for coffee? *mind explodes*

Tournaments

ESL

ESL’s Scrolls Release Xmas Cup Series continues this Sunday (December 21st). Make sure to enter and accumulate your points to qualify for the Grand Finals the following Sunday. Winner of the Grand Finals receives a Sennheiser PC 320 Gaming Headset! The top four will also be awarded with the coveted tournament avatar head piece.

If you missed last weekend’s tournament, you can watch some of the recordings from the stream here.

Scrollsguide Open – Waypoints

The Scrollsguide Open has come and gone. Congratulations to Lahopaa on his well-earned victory! Seeing as there was no weekly post last Friday, I figured it still deserves a mention here on the blog. It really was an outstanding event all around, both in players who participated and the community members who helped run it and stream it.

Here is a list of all of the observed matches during the stream, as well as a highlight video put together of some of the more funny or interesting moments in the tournament.

That’s all for now! Happy holidays, everyone.
