My name is Joshua from Silly Kid Games, I wanted to share with you some exciting news. April 21, 2015 marks the start of the Kickstarter campaign for our new action anime card game called Golem Academy. Imagine a training arena where players face off in battle, wielding the power of their ancient Golems to protect the world from evil!
Golem Academy includes more than 200 cards featuring killer full-color illustrations by our resident artist. I have attached the first promo artwork for your viewing pleasure. We plan to release a new piece of artwork every day leading up to the launch of Kickstarter ;)
If you have any questions you can email me at Joshua@sillykidgames.com

GAVIN MONSTROM
KNOWN FACTS:
Name: Gavin Monstrom
Nickname: Gav
Species: Human
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Sign: Pisces
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 175 pounds
Eyes: Blue
Hair: White
Dislikes: Overachievers, seeing other people suffer
Golem: Gorm – Gravity Lion
I often wonder what drives people to fight. Is it love? Hatred? A sense of honor? I feel none of these. Over and over I hear the stories of my father, my grandfather, and every Monstrom before them. How they fought for what they believed in. What does that even mean? What is it that I believe in? Maybe I will find those answers here, at the Academy.
Make no mistake—my skills in battle are unrivaled. Fighting has always come naturally to me, like… gravity. No wonder my Golem and I are so perfectly matched. I watch the others train like puppies, doing what the masters tell them from sunup to sunset, but Gorm and I would rather just kick back and have fun. What’s so wrong about that? I see how the others look at me and laugh, the lazy kid who cares about nothing. But the headmaster does not laugh. He insists on my training alongside the others day after day, thinking he can change me. I just smile and take it in stride. The old man has his work cut out for him.

Here's the next character, Finn:
I come from a long line of water Golem creators, natural healers who carry out the grueling—and often thankless—task of caring for those in need. When they learned of my acceptance to the Academy, my father, mother and sisters were pleased to know I would be continuing the tradition, but my family and I have very different visions of my future. Though I am eager to immerse myself in my training, even greater is my desire to prove to the world that water Golems are far from weak.
My hunger for knowledge began as a child, and there are some today who would call me a genius. But without that hunger I could not have given life to such a remarkable Golem. You see, all water Golems are powerful healers, but they are useless in battle… until now. Cheeks is the first of his kind—not a typical water bubble Golem but a fierce puffer fish with an arsenal of offensive attacks. With Cheeks by my side, people will soon realize that water Golem creators wield tremendous power. Maybe then we will be given the respect we deserve.
-Finn Simius, JR.
