Trogdor!! The Board Game Website

From Homestar Runner Wiki

view

A website was created to promote Trogdor!! The Board Game. It is located at trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com. It was linked to on the Index Page until the Kickstarter campaign began on July 17, then re-added on June 29, 2019. There are five links at the top: "Buy It Soon!", "Videos", "Rules / FAQs", "Rulebook Songs", and "Soundboard". Each link leads to a different part of the website, except "Buy It Soon!", which links to the board game on the Store.

List of Website Updates

• June 29, 2018 — When the page first went up, there were several changes from the website now.
  • The layout was blander, with a beige background, and there were no other pages.
  • The logo was a red ribbon reading "TROGDOR!!", with "The Board Game" typed underneath.
  • The scrolling plastic miniatures were originally at the top, and they were meeples. They could be clicked to reveal the miniature version.
  • The description read "A cooperative game of burnination, majesty, and consummate V's." with the next line being "For 2-6 Players. Coming to Kickstarter July 17, 2018."
  • There was a "Get Notified" link at the top that led the reader to the mailing list section at the bottom of the page.
  • Originally, if "tothelimit" was typed and the page was clicked, the Trogdor meeple turned into a green Atari Dragon (referencing Everybody to the Limit). This was removed at an unknown date.
• June 30, 2018 — The day after the page went up, links to the board game's Twitter and Facebook pages were added.
• July 17, 2018 — The copyright notice at the bottom was added on the same day the redesigned Index Page was revealed, which included the same notice.
• After December 30, 2018 — The "Get Notified" link was changed to "Pre-Order Now!", linking to a place you could pre-order the game.
• February 21, 2019 —
  • The logo changed from the red ribbon banner to the box art logo, and the "The Board Game" text written underneath was removed.
  • "For 2-6 Players. Coming to Kickstarter July 17th, 2018." was changed to "Shipping June 2019."
  • The Twitter and Facebook links were removed from the header.
  • Four photos of the Wyrmwood boards were added to the gallery.
• June 29, 2019 —
  • On the one-year anniversary of the site, it was redesigned completely, with a brand new layout and a wooden desk aesthetic. Everything was rearranged.
  • The logo was changed to the current logo on the box.
  • The image gallery was moved to the top, and the photos were updated.
  • The description was expanded to what it is today.
  • The "Pre-Order Now!" link was removed.
  • Links to "Buy It Soon!", "Videos", "Rules / FAQs", "Rulebook Songs", and "Soundboard" were added at the top.
  • The "News & Updates:" header was changed to "Shipping News & Updates!".
  • The meeples scrolling across the screen were turned into plastic miniatures and moved to the bottom, above the mailing list section. The ability to click them to change them into plastic miniatures was removed. Additionally, the miniatures were changed to the newer, more detailed ink-washed versions.
  • A second exclamation mark was added after "Trogdor!" in the page title, to match the punctuation of the board game.
• Less than a week after June 29, 2019 — The video descriptions were changed from "Video text here" to actual descriptions.

Trivia

• Between the title and the description, there are images of plastic miniature pieces sliding across the screen, with four visible at a time (Troghammer, archers, Trogdor, unburninated cottage, burninated peasant, burninated cottage, knight, unburninated peasant, in that order). The images wiggle if the mouse pointer is hovered over them.
• The "mailing list" notice at the bottom is nearly identical to the one on the Index Page, even using the same example email address.
• The Atari Dragon uses its design from the Atari 2600 game Adventure, rather than its regular Homestar Runner design.
• This website was designed by Joe Peacock, the same person who is redesigning the Index Page, as indicated by the copyright notice.

Remarks

• "Trogdor!! The Board Game"'s punctuation is inconsistent in many of the updates, written as "Trogdor! The Board Game!", "Trogdor: The Board Game", "Trogdor- The Board Game".
• Until June 29, 2019, the bottom of the page still mentioned that the reader can sign up for the mailing list to find out when the Kickstarter launches, despite the Kickstarter having ended months before.
• The old archer meeple was still used until June 29, 2019, when the meeples were removed from the page.
