Post-campaign update #1!

– Thu, Feb 04, 2021 at 11:49:11 PM
Hello backers;
We hope 2021 has been good for you so far.
Since the campaign closed we've been hard at work delivering on everything we promised during our stellar campaign! The rules are locked, the components are finalized, and we're working with our printer to get the files correctly laid out and into production!
Speaking of finalized, Lamplighter is officially finished and ready for gameplay!
For those of you who have tried the game digitally, we will be adjusting the TTS mod with the new rules and we'll let you know when you can test them out for yourselves!
On to the pledge manager! We're currently finalizing everything with Backerkit. The first step to opening the pledge management process is a smoke test:
What is a Smoke Test?
A smoke test sends surveys to 5% of backers from each pledge level in your campaign.
It’s a simple way to catch any errors and make sure everything runs smoothly.
So look for that soon, and if you see backers in the comment section talking about the survey, do not worry, yours is coming soon!
Thank you all for your support. We're happy to report that the game has only gotten stronger post-campaign and we'll be back soon to give you an opportunity to see that for yourselves!

Hello backers!
It's done! The campaign has come to a finish and we could not be more excited! Thanks to some outside funding we have raised more than $100,000 for the campaign and are officially adding the paintable Terror and Lamplighter miniatures to all deluxe tier and above pledges. What an amazing way to kick off the Christmas weekend!
Thanks to all of your support, we couldn’t have done this with you!
Before we celebrate the holiday, let's celebrate this game!
During this campaign we've unlocked:
18 additional cards
5 additional miniatures
1 new way to play the game - SOLO MODE
10 asymmetric player powers
AND
1 EXCLUSIVE variant cover comic book!
All of that is thanks to your continued support. We're so grateful to have you on board and we hope you all have a wonderful holiday.
What comes next?
Well, now that the party's over, it's time to get to work.
We're currently finalizing testing for the modes and abilities added during this campaign, if you'd like to join us on Tabletop Simulator and add your input, we'd love to schedule a time for you to play with us!
Once that's done the files will go to the printer and we'll move to sample and prep as fast as possible!
The pledge manager will be up soon, so expect updates from us on when you can access your pledge and load up your shopping cart!
Now that all the miniatures from the campaign are unlocked you can reserve an additional set of all 10 for $25.

Hello backers! We’ve got a trio of update-worthy announcements for you!
STRETCH GOALS UPDATE
Up first - the stretch goals! The new graphic on the page shows off a host of awesome stretch goals we’re closer than ever to unlocking, including our team’s favorite at 100k, Terror! We've made the miniatures even more accessible, with Starlight now being unlocked at the $80,000 mark. We’re looking forward to unleashing Terror on the game as soon as we join the six figure club. If you're eyeing our stretch goals you can help us get there even faster by investing in an extra set of minis*.
(*Note every stretch goal mini unlocked during the campaign will be included in the miniatures add-on)
