📦 It Has Begun: Shipping Is Underway & Digital Rewards Are Here!!!
8 months ago – Wed, Dec 10, 2025 at 08:59:11 AM

GREETINGS, YOU GLORIOUS MINIONS OF MAYHEM!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, minion of updates, logistics goblin, and recent recipient of a shipping label to the forehead (don’t worry, I was marked as “Fragile”).

Great news, my glorious co-conspirators — the cauldrons have boiled, the wagons have rolled, and the first crates have officially left the Dark Citadel.

A wholesome minion moment. Even villainy is a family business.

That’s right…

📦 SHIPPING HAS BEGUN

The wagons have rolled, the boxes have been blessed with extra tape, and the first wave of shipping is officially underway!

  • 🗽US backers: Your rewards are being packed and shipped right now from our humble villain lair.
  • 🌍International shipping: Coming very soon after. Keep watch on the comment section where we’ll pin updates as regions roll out. GamesQuest is sending out its own address verification emails. Look for those.

📬 You’ll receive an email with tracking when your package is ready.
📣 Please be patient while we move through this mountain of villainous loot. We’re small but scrappy.

📜 NOTICE FROM THE PACKING DUNGEON ‼️

We know you’re eager to receive your villainous loot. So are we!
Our tiny evil team is deep in the shipping trenches, and we won’t be answering questions about shipping times or tracking numbers until the mountain of boxes is no longer actively trying to kill us.
📨You'll get an email with tracking once your reward is packed and ready! 
👁️Keep watch on the comment section where we’ll pin updates

❄️ COLD WEATHER WARNING 

If your reward includes a Fate Finder, keep an eye on your mailbox! The mystical liquid core does not like freezing temperatures. Don’t let it sit outside in the cold — or it may freeze, crack, and curse your next three rolls.

So, check your tracking, check your porch, and maybe set a goblin scout by the mailbox.

📚Reminder: This is Wave 1

Wave 1 includes the Quest Calendar and all accessories.
The Quest Planner will ship in Wave 2, which is still in production and coming later.

💻 DIGITAL REWARDS HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED!

You should have gotten an email with your unique link to download the 2026 Quest Calendar PDF from our distribution lair over at itch.io.

  • 🗃️These are the core digital files — more printable versions will come soon.
  • 🖨️ Printable sheets and formats will roll out after we’ve gotten more of the physical boxes out the door.
  • 🆘 Contact https://itch.io/support if you are having trouble with your account.
  • ✉️ Didn’t get your email? Check your inbox (and spam folder, and possibly your neighbor’s dog if he’s been acting suspicious).

🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS

Wave 1 Shipping: UNDERWAY
International Orders: UP NEXT
Quest Planner: Wave 2 (not yet shipping)
Digital Rewards: ROLLING OUT NOW
Fate Finders: FEAR THE FREEZE
Scribblegut: Tired but triumphant

Once again, thank you for your patience, support, and good humor.
Together we made this madness possible — and now the real magic begins.

Until next time…

🦃 Thanks, Locked Orders, a Witchy Glow-Up & Full Rules Inside!

HAIL, O STUFFED AND SAVAGE BACKERS!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, update whisperer, turkey thief, and officially trampled once again during Black Friday. (More on that in a moment.)

Let’s begin with an important reminder wrapped in stuffing and gratitude.

🦃 A VILLAINOUS THANKSGIVING!

While most heroes were eating politely with family, we villains gave thanks with curses, cackling, and a roasted mimic that kept biting back.

But in all seriousness... from our lair to yours:

Thank you for being a part of this strange and glorious journey.
Your support lets us keep creating these little worlds, and we’re so grateful you’re along for the ride.

Even if you’re the kind of person who puts gravy on everything. (We see you.)

🛒 BLACK FRIDAY IS UPON US (AGAINST OUR WILL)

Once again, the ancient ritual has begun:  a time when brave mortals stampede through stores to secure 12% off sock bundles. We at the Dark Citadel don’t understand it.

We tried offering a Buy One, Get One Cursed deal, but no one made it out of the store.

So instead, we’ll keep doing what we do best:
Making games, telling stories, and boxing loot for your villainous hands.

💳 CARDS CHARGED & ADDRESSES LOCKED!

As of today, Friday Nov 28th, we have officially:

  • Charged cards
  • Locked addresses

If there was an issue with your payment, you should have received a notification from BackerKit. Please take care of it promptly so there’s no delay in shipping your rewards!

🧭 Need to update your address?
📡Contact Backer Kit  or  ✉️Email us at: [email protected]

Don’t delay! The freight demons are already circling the crates.

Ahhh yes... the final villain in our level-up showcase: The Covenborn.
This one gave us creative freedom, and we ran with it on a broomstick.

How does a witch grow stronger over time?
We envisioned her evolving from a twisted forest hag to a formidable coven queen, her power drawn from rituals, relics, and the collective will of her sisters.

Would we attend one of her tea parties? Absolutely not. But we’d RSVP out of fear.

💾 DIGITAL FILES COMING SOON

We’re working on the digital files now, including the full PDF version of the Quest Calendar and more (including Character Creation Guide and Story + Card Game).

Our goal is to begin sending them out next week, so you can start plotting, reading, and possibly cheating your way through decisions in advance.
(Just kidding. Maybe.)

📘 FULL RULES PUBLISHED!

Yes, the complete rulebook is ready and available for your villainous review.

It’s a bit long intentionally!
We’ve included examples to make it easier to reference and understand in real-time. You don’t need to memorize it. You don’t even need to read it before playing (especially if you're the "roll first, regret later" type).

Returning players... Make sure to check out the new mechanics around:

  • 🛠️ Crafting
  • 🧨 Notoriety
  • 🧙‍♂️ Henchmen

Full Color Version  or  Printer-Friendly Version

🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS

Cards: Charged
Addresses: Locked
Digital Files: Next week
Witch: Ascended
Scribblegut: Slightly burnt from the mimic oven

Thanks again for being here ... for the feedback, the energy, the patience, and the endless enthusiasm. We’re so close now.
The shipping shadows stir. The scrolls are nearly sealed. And we’re just getting started.

🔒 Orders Lock Today! Vampire Wings, Pickup Date, and Villain Options
9 months ago – Sat, Nov 15, 2025 at 07:13:00 AM

Backers of Darkness, Deadlines, and Dramatic Growth,

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, lock-wielder, logistics lackey, and reluctant vampire snack.
The countdown has begun, the scrolls have been sealed, and the blood magic is bubbling.

Let’s get right into this gloriously important update!

🔒 ORDERS LOCK TODAY!

That’s right, fiends. We are officially locking orders today!

An email has flown from the ether (or BackerKit’s servers) letting you know your time is up.
After this, you can no longer make changes to your order. No switching tiers, no adding items, no removing that second dice bag you panic-added at midnight.
It’s all sealed. Well... after the 48 hour window.

Forever.
(Dramatic echo.)

💳 WHAT’S NEXT: NOVEMBER 28th

Here’s what happens two weeks from now on November 28th:

🧾 Cards will be charged
📦 Addresses will be locked

Make sure your gold is in the correct pouch and your lair location is up to date. After that, your info is sealed tighter than the Overlord’s vault of unpaid invoices.

🏪 LOCAL PICKUP EVENT ANNOUNCED!

📍Date: December 20th
🕐 Time: 1–3 PM
🏰 Location: Petrie’s Family Games (Colorado Springs)
🔗 https://www.facebook.com/share/1NBcTubFkF/

Come meet the creator, the team, and yours truly (if I’m allowed out of the crate), pick up your loot, and chat about villainy, games, and which dice are most likely cursed.

Already selected local pickup but can’t make it?
No problem! We can switch you to regular shipping. Or we’ll leave your items at the store for you to claim at your leisure (within reason. No hoarding until next Halloween).

🧛‍♂️ HERO ART SPOTLIGHT

Today’s level-up showcase features one of our most sinister subjects: The Blooddrinker.

We took a little creative liberty with this one... watching them evolve from a stealthy assassin cloaked in shadow to a terrifying, winged blood-mage, commanding life and death like a maestro of mayhem.

Personally, I can’t look at them directly. They’re too cool. I get emotional.

🎭 63 CUSTOM HERO ART OPTIONS IN THE APP

Want to create your own villainous hero?

We now have 63 unique character portraits from the wonderfully wicked Ellen available in the Companion App for use in your custom hero!

Whether you’re building a sneaky goblin, a dramatic warlock, or a four-armed winged horned.... you get the idea...

🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS

Orders: Locked
Late Pledges: Moving
Cards & Addresses: Locking Nov 28
Vampire: Glorious
Scribblegut: Slightly intimidated and extremely proud

Thanks again for your patience, your passion, and your suspiciously high dice budgets.
We’re getting close now. The dungeon walls are vibrating with excitement.

Until next time...

With sealing wax and winged assassins,

🎃 A Very Villainous Halloween Update
10 months ago – Wed, Oct 29, 2025 at 05:17:40 PM

BOO!

Or as we say in the breakroom: “Accounting error!”

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, long-lost minion of the update scrolls, creeping back into your inbox like an unpaid ghost invoice.

Yes, it’s been a little while.
The Overlord has kept us chained to our workbenches (literally), but we’re alive, we’re crafting, and the dungeon is humming with dark energy and the smell of chocolate-covered torture devices.

🛠️ PRODUCTION & FULFILLMENT UPDATE

We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and we’ve got dark tidings of progress to share!

  • The Cards and Wooden Minis have arrived at our warehouse and are waiting patiently to be joined by their villainous brethren.
  • Many other items are on the way (Plushes, Coins, Fate Finders, and more), making their journey across the treacherous shipping lanes (and customs offices).
  • And yes... the dice are real — mountains of them, rolling endlessly, forming tides of probability and plastic.
It reminds us of Scrooge McDuck diving through coins… but, y’know, pointier.

We’re organizing everything carefully to prepare for fulfillment.

🚚 SHIPPING IN TWO WAVES (IMPORTANT!)

The Overlord has decreed the calendar must arrive on time... even if it means holding back the rest of the loot for a second wave.

That’s right: we’re now splitting fulfillment into two waves. We made these pictures for those of you who scroll through these too fast to read.

We’re taking extra care with the production of the first Quest Planner to make sure the experience is as polished as possible. And splitting shipments ensures you’ll be ready to begin your quest right on time.

📅 PLEDGE TIMELINE (Mark your scrolls!)

  • Order Locking: November 14
  • Card Charging: November 28
  • Address Locking: November 28
  • Shipping Begins: As soon as product arrives from manufacturing

You can update your address from your pledge survey link. 
Lost yours? Go here: https://2026-quest-calendar.backerkit.com/

💾 DIGITAL REWARDS BEGIN IN NOVEMBER

Starting in November, we’ll begin posting more frequent updates and releasing:

  • Digital PDF versions of the Quest Calendar
  • Create-Your-Own Villain story & builder (in progress)
  • Solo Card Game (still being tested and designed with the help of the Overlord’s 9-year-old heir)

We’ll also ramp up previews and media to keep the momentum strong and to give you something to cackle over while you wait.

🖼️ NEW ART REVEAL: RATTY GLOWS UP

We’re continuing to showcase the level-up progression of our heroes, and this time, it’s the rat’s time to shine (and spread spores).

Behold his transformation from sneaky street-scuttler to fully-formed bringer of doom!

🔮 WHAT’S NEXT? (Summary)

Here’s what you can look forward to in the coming weeks:

  • 🔓 Lock your pledges by Nov 14
  • 💳 Cards charged on Nov 28
  • 📦 Shipping begins as product arrives
  • 📁 Digital rewards start dropping throughout November
  • 🖼️ More frequent updates + possibly more gifs of goblin mischief

🙏 THANK YOU

We know we’ve been quiet lately, but your support, patience, and excitement keep this dark little dream alive.
Running a campaign like this is a huge undertaking, and while we’re a small team (plus a goblin or two), we’re working hard to make it worth your wait. We can’t wait to get this into your hands.

🏭 Production Progress + New Villain Art Unveiled!
11 months ago – Tue, Sep 23, 2025 at 08:55:11 AM

Greetings, My Loyal Legion of Late-Stage Villainy!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Master of Manufacturing, Captain of Crate Logistics

While the campaign may be over, the work never ends, and we’ve got plenty of evil updates for you today. Let’s lift the dungeon curtain and take a peek...

🛠️ THINGS ARE BEING BUILT! 

That's right, components are officially in production and the factories are forging forth.

📸 Here are some sneak peeks. Some accessories are already on ships, sailing toward our waiting claws. We’ll share more pics soon.

Random collage made by the new orc intern because the head design goblin is busy putting out a fire in the kitchen. He tried to microwave eggs. It didn't work. Lessons were learned.

📖 CHARACTER CREATION STORY — IN THE WORKS

Our other major stretch goal, the Character Creation Story, is also coming along nicely.
You’ll get to forge your character’s dark origin before the calendar begins, choosing how they rose to power (or crawled their way up from the shadows).

I can’t say too much yet, but one of the story branches involves a near-death experience with the Overlord himself. You’ve been warned.

🎨 VILLAIN ART REVEAL – ROUND TWO

You asked for more art, and our scribes have delivered!
Behold: another batch of villain illustrations fresh from the shadows. Each one is more menacing, majestic, and dramatically lit than the last. Let me tell you, Level 6 glow-ups are real.

These aren’t just characters… they’re statements. Big. Bold. Bad.

From fanged enchantresses to brooding warlords, this crew is ready to ruin someone’s day.

🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS

Components: In production and on the move
Accessories: Some in freight already
Warehouse: Coming soon
Stretch Goals: Actively brewing
Scribblegut: Slightly overwhelmed but deeply caffeinated

That’s all for now, my shipment-summoning scoundrels!
Thank you again for your support and patience. We’ll keep bringing you updates as things get packed, shipped, and summoned into your hands.

I, for one, have already lost two minis down a vent. It’s fine. They’ll build a society.

With glittering coins and villainous ink stains,
