Elemental Clash April Newsletter: Welcome to April
Hey there everyone!
We just got back from Unpub Festival 2025, and we’re feeling more inspired than ever! March was packed with amazing experiences, playtests, and connections with fellow designers and players. This month, we’re excited to reveal the Wind element, share the results of last month’s poll, and give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in May. Let’s get into it!
Convention Updates!
We had an incredible month with not just one—but two fantastic conventions!
Granite Game Summit!
At the start of the month, we attended Granite Game Summit, and it was an amazing experience! We were part of the Designer Ally event and got the chance to show off Elemental Clash to some truly thoughtful and enthusiastic players. The feedback we received was incredibly helpful, and we left feeling inspired and energized. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table!
Unpub Festival 2025!
Later in the month, we traveled to Unpub Festival, one of the largest playtesting events in the tabletop industry—and it did not disappoint! We met tons of amazing people, made awesome connections, and had the opportunity to playtest with a wide variety of passionate gamers and creators.
Thank you to everyone who came by our booth, gave feedback, and helped us continue shaping Elemental Clash. These events truly remind us how special this community is.
New Art Reveal: The Wind Elemental Family!
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been revealing the Wind Cards on social media—and now it’s time to bring them all together!
The Wind element in Elemental Clash features a mix of swift, clever, and sometimes mischievous creatures that embody the speed, unpredictability, and grace of the air. From majestic winged beasts to breezy oddballs, this set offers a unique playstyle full of movement and trickery.
If you missed any of the reveals during the month, now’s your chance to see the full Wind family together. Let us know which one blew you away the most!
Poll Results: Kickstarter Reward
In last month’s poll, we asked what kind of Kickstarter reward you'd prefer—and the results are in! The winning choice was:
A free mini-expansion included with all Kickstarter game orders.
We love this idea and are now officially planning a mini-expansion to include with every backer’s pledge. Thank you to everyone who voted and helped us shape how we’ll launch Elemental Clash!
This Month's Poll:
Should the Creatures Have Names?
Let’s keep it simple this month—we have one big question for you:
Should each elemental creature in Elemental Clash have a name?
If the community says yes, we’ll start giving each creature a unique name and personality during the Kickstarter campaign, revealing new ones every week.
This is your chance to help us decide how much character and lore each creature should have. Cast your vote and let us know if naming the elemental beasts is something you’d love to see!
Coming Soon: Earth Elemental Art Reveal!
Next month, we’ll be unveiling the Earth Cards, featuring sturdy, resilient, and sometimes surprisingly clever creatures that embody the element of stability and strength.
Make sure you’re following us on social media to catch early previews before they land in the next newsletter!

We’re setting up a space where you can engage with other fans, join in on game nights, and get sneak peeks at what’s coming next.

Supporting Small Creators
At DarkDragon Entertainment, our goal is to not only bring our own creations to life but also to support other small creators in the gaming world. That’s why we want to shout out three amazing tabletop games currently running their own Kickstarter campaigns. Check them out and lend your support!
Spread the Word!
We’re building a community of passionate gamers, and we’d love your help in spreading the word. Know someone who would enjoy Elemental Clash? Share our website with them and invite them to join the journey.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Your feedback and support mean the world to us, and we’re excited to see where Elemental Clash goes with your input.
Until next time,
The DarkDragon Entertainment Team
