The Cursed Library Rough Art

In addition to four heroes, four villains, and four mid-level villains, The Cursed Library has nearly a hundred characters from classic literature. We have gotten Leah Smith on board to do sketch art for every single one of these characters!
She has provided us with the first batch of roughs. How many of these can you name? Some of them are pretty tough!
Pledge Manager Active

The Stygian Society pledge manager has gone active. You might complete it now, while you're thinking of it, but it will remain active for 3-4 months.
We've been developing and testing hard. Here's an updated development chart.
The mid-boss is actually two characters - Rita and Delores. They are sisters raised from the dead by the new bonus wizard, Eigenstein the Illusionist. Now they are spirits accompanied by poltergeist enemies who do large amounts of damage. Rita and Delores are actually the names of two of my aunts!
We also played another two-player game of The Stygian Society with one hero each. In addition to the random level 1 hero skill, we selected another level 1 skill and took two random lower level treasures. We did very well on the lower levels and boss that we played. We used the Doctor and Spellsling heroes.

Hello! It's been a few busy weeks preparing for, going to, and recovering from Essen Spiel. We're not ready to hit the ground and sprint toward the goal of getting you games by next August.
There are a lot of pieces in development, so I built this little chart to help track them all.
This table only includes components that we need to develop. It doesn't include art.
All of these bars needs to be green by the end of February or early March at the very latest!
Pledge Manager Smoke Test

5% of you have received an invite to the Backerkit pledge manager for The Stygian Society. This is a smoke test, and we use it to ensure we don't have problems when we open up to the other 95%!
Assuming we do not have problems that cannot be easily solved in the next few days, I anticipate the main pledge manager will be opened before Monday!

Thank you for making The Stygian Society a reality! A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment.
Here's a quick rundown:
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this will take them about a month).
Second, we have to find out where we need to ship your pledges. We’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses, but there's not a huge hurry since games won't ship until next August.
If you didn't add them during the project, the survey will also let you add the expansions and hunter hero. We are not charging any extra shipping for these!
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information before next August, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
We can’t wait to send you The Stygian Society!
