INVICTA CHALLENGE: A kickstarter with a goal of leadership, and 4 horseman figures on the path to it.

blueboardN

Tom and I (Sam) Got a chance to talk with Jim Murphy about his ongoing kickstarter: INVICTA challenge.  Jim was happy to share a wealth of information with us. The kickstarter itself is already detailed well, and the passion is obvious, but getting behind the ideas even further sold us on the product.   You can listen via Itunes or Stitcher (using our drop down menu above) or directly below for your convenience.

The Key item is a package that gets you into the game, designed to be a multigeneratioal game, able to suck in even relectunt readers, by combining interactive story telling via graphic novel and a free app based game, along with a tangible figure of the Hero. Fans not interested in the game for themselves, might be for their kids, but if you want to go after the figure only, Jim has added that option for you! So you can have the first ever millitary figure sculpted by the 4 horseman starting at only 20$  Jay from Moderately Geeky pitched that Idea, and Jim has shown to be response to fan feedback!
