Latest Updates from Our Project:
🎉 Victory! The Campaign Is Complete — Here’s What’s Next!
9 months ago
– Tue, Jun 24, 2025 at 05:02:28 PM
Greetings, Glorious Horde of Villains!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, professional minion, celebratory confetti tosser, and newly crowned Supreme Organizer of What Happens Next.
The campaign is complete. Successful. Triumphant! You did it. You brought this wicked adventure to life and (let’s be honest) made the Overlord’s dark little heart flutter. He even smiled. Twice. (The walls are still recovering.)
But while the campaign is over, but as all great villains know: There is always more to do.
1️⃣First, Kickstarter is going to charge your cards for your pledge. Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to two weeks).
2️⃣Our next step: The Pledge Manager! This is where the real post-campaign sorcery begins.
📬 THE PLEDGE MANAGER: WHERE THE REAL EVIL HAPPENS
If you’re new to crowdfunding, here’s how it works: The Pledge Manager (a mysterious realm known as BackerKit) is where we’ll collect all the details we need to deliver your loot straight to your lair.
It’s also where you can grab extra treasures! Accessories, additional games, wooden minis, villainous upgrades. Yes, you can still add them after the campaign!
We’ll send a warning screech (and a proper update) before we unleash the surveys.
🎯 You don’t need a BackerKit account! Your survey link will come by email. Just click it and answer. Easy. Like stepping over a sleeping goblin.
If you want to update your answers, buy more loot, or change your shipping address later, you can use that same survey link or request a new one using “Lost your survey?” on the BackerKit page (this will activate after we send the surveys).
⚠️ IF YOU USED FACEBOOK OR APPLE PAY:
Facebook Backers: If you logged into Kickstarter with Facebook, your survey will go to the email tied to your Facebook account. If you want to change it, message us on Kickstarter.
Apple Pay Backers: If your Apple Pay account has no email (it happens), message us on Kickstarter so we can change it or send your invite manually.
If you don’t receive your survey invite, this is likely why!
💌 A FINAL THANK YOU
Seriously.. Thank you from the bottom of our dungeon hearts!
Your support is what keeps this scrappy, villainous team moving forward, writing stories, building games, and keeping the minions busy in the castle.
We’ll update you as things progress, though updates will come a bit less frequently now that we’re shifting into production mode. I, for one, will be taking a short break to roll around in packing peanuts. It’s the little things.
Yours in villainy, Scribblegut the Third Minion of the Overlord, Keeper of Surveys, Champion of Pledge Management
🧌 THE TOLLKEEPER'S TALE CONCLUDES...
Trollin' ain't easy. Where did this army come from? Where are they going? Can you survive the final day? It is a tough final day... You are likely to die.

Subject Line: 🎉 You Did It! More Hero Art Unlocked + Meet the Villains Behind the Curtain
9 months ago
– Mon, Jun 23, 2025 at 07:32:41 PM
Greetings, Magnificent Minions of Mayhem!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, campaign chronicler, tower gossip, and unpaid HR representative.
Today, we celebrate three glorious events: + The campaign is almost complete. † YOU unlocked the Hero Art stretch goal through sheer social sorcery! † I’ve been ordered to break the fourth wall and show you the secret force behind this entire villainous operation...
🏰 MEET THE TEAM (AKA THE SHADOWY CIRCLE BEHIND THE THRONE)
Now, allow me to peel back the veil and show you the secret council that powers this entire villainous enterprise...
Yes, I Scribblegut often claim credit for everything, but the truth is: This campaign exists thanks to a small but mighty crew of creative conspirators.
🖋️ Most of the writing, story crafting, planning, design, and day-to-day villainy? That’s me, Thomas Bedran. One tired Overlord with a keyboard and a dream. (Pic below) But I’m not alone.
🎨 Our art? Summoned by a global alliance of ridiculously talented artists. Including Purple Llama Creatives, Ellen, and Jay French to name a few. From detailed maps to character designs, their pens are mighty and (probably) cursed.
📱 The Companion App and test balancing tools? That magic comes from our software sorcerer, Anthony Pietz of Win Button Games, who helps keep your rolls smooth and your interface haunted.
📚 Additional Writing Support? I’ve got a few fellow scribes lending part-time help, inventing encounters, sharpening dialogue, editing, and occasionally reining me in. Including Logan, Garnet Lamb, Shield Generator VII, Emily Gould.
🎧 And behind the curtain? A couple of community champions keep the Discord realm lively and supportive while I wrangle deadlines and boxes.
And finally...
📦 Shipping? The U.S. orders are packed right from my home garage with the help of my family, a barcode printer, and an ancient rite of tape dispensing.
Not Pictured but also part of the team: Grandpa Grump, Nana of No-Yelling, Papa of Tunes
So while this is still a small, family-run company, it wouldn’t be possible without this wonderful little fellowship of collaborators.
Backing this campaign supports all of us. And gives me the chance to keep writing these stories for another year.
Thank you, truly, for being a part of it.
🎨 SOCIAL GOAL UNLOCKED. HERO ART AT EVERY LEVEL!
Thanks to your tireless sharing, tagging, and digital hollering, we’ve unlocked the Level-Based Hero Art stretch goal!
It’s dramatic. It’s inspiring. It’s slightly unsettling how good some of them look in armor.
That means each hero will get 6 unique illustrations, featured in both the Villain Codex and the Companion App.
1 Days Left. In the final stretch (bring those yoga skills!) Hero Art = Unlocked! Team = Just a family of humble overlords
That’s all for now, my share-happy scoundrels. Keep the chaos rolling. Keep the shares flying. And remember, behind every great evil empire… is someone making shipping labels on a folding table.
With genuine thanks and slightly teary villain eyeliner, Scribblegut the Third Minion of the Overlord, Loader of Boxes, Storyteller of Shadows
🧌 THE TOLLKEEPER'S TALE CONTINUES...
Time to take care of that pesky knight. Will you be merciful?

🪙🪙The Ratling Has a Name! + The Coin Loophole Is Real (and Closing Soon)
9 months ago
– Sun, Jun 22, 2025 at 05:49:58 PM
Greetings, My Cunning Horde of Coin-Hoarders and Rodent-Namers!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, assistant to the assistant tormentor, part-time loophole plugger, and full-time whistleblower (on accident).
Today’s update brings two shocking developments: † A name has been chosen. † A scheme has been uncovered. Let’s dive in before the Overlord notices I’m typing this.
🐀 THE RATLING SHALL BE KNOWN AS...
Yes! After squeaking, scheming, and a very tight poll, the votes have been cast and the ratling has been crowned. Our plaguey little friend is now fully part of the villainous roster, complete with title, fleas, and festering fanfare.
Thank you to all who voted. The rodent bites less now. Slightly.
🪙 THE CHALLENGE COIN LOOPHOLE EXPOSED
So... funny story. Someone found a weakness in the Overlord’s system. Apparently, if you visit the 2024 Store, you can still purchase the previous Quest Calendars (many available as PDFs)...
And by doing so... You qualify for the Returning Backer Challenge Coins from previous years. Yes. Even now. Even still.
This is a loophole. A terrible, glorious loophole.
The Overlord is furious. I am impressed. But alas... this exploit will only remain open until the campaign ends on June 24th.
👉 Link to 2024 Store Use it wisely. Or recklessly. I’m not your supervisor.
🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS
The ratling has a name. Coins are slipping through bureaucratic cracks. And I’ve barricaded myself in the storage closet until further notice.
That’s the news, my treacherous treasure-seekers. Name claimed. Scheme revealed. Now go. Loot with intent. We are a few shares away from that delicious Social Stretch Goal. Blast Away.
I, for one, ordered last year’s calendar just to spite the system. And I regret nothing.
With panicked scribbles and a makeshift shield of coin bags, Scribblegut the Third Minion of the Overlord, Exploiter of Fine Print, Closet-Dweller
🧌 THE TOLLKEEPER'S TALE CONTINUES...
We will catch you puny knight!

⚙️New Mechanics Revealed! + Ratling Showdown! 5 Days Left!
10 months ago
– Thu, Jun 19, 2025 at 12:56:22 PM
Greetings, Backers of Darkness and Dilemma! It is I, Scribblegut the Third, update courier, rulebook defacer, and recently demoted “Rodent Relations Coordinator.”
Time is short. The rat is restless. And the campaign? It ends in 5 days! (Cue lightning and distant screaming.)
🐀 RATLINGS AT WAR. FINAL VOTE BEGINS NOW!
The previous name poll ended in an agonizingly close tie. After much squeaking and dramatic flailing, we’ve narrowed it down to the top 5 names.
We need your vote one final time to settle this once and for all. The winning name will be revealed in the next update... assuming the ratling doesn’t reveal it by writing on the walls again. It wasn't ink!
Let’s talk villainy. We’ve made some delicious changes from previous years you should know about:
🧭 Virtue is Dead. Long Live Notoriety.
We’ve replaced Virtue with Notoriety, because let’s face it: you’re no hero. † Scale: 0 to 20 † Some choices raise or lower your Notoriety. † Some choices are boosted (or punished) based on your level. † Reach 20 and you can reset it to 0 to gain a permanent stat increase. (STR, DEX, CON, etc.) A small price for reputation rehab.
🧪 Crafting Begins!
You can still find the occasional potion, but... you’ll now collect ingredients to craft the elixir you need. † The Covenborn excels at crafting. That's not mushroom soup in their cauldrons. † The Plaguebringer is great at finding extra loot. Because nothing says evil like DIY poison kits.
🧙 Henchmen / Party Members Revisited
Now powered by Energy, not random card draws. † Their abilities extend beyond combat and skill boosts † Expect perks like scavenging rations, curing poison, or divining the future. Who knew Carl the torchbearer had visions?
🦴 Minions: Your Disposable Workforce
Minions are separate from party members (henchmen). Use them to: † Aid in rolls † Shake down peasants for gold † Or... sacrifice them to boost your chance of success No emotional attachments recommended. It’s like family. But flammable.
📣 KEEP SHARING — WE’RE SO CLOSE!
We are this close to unlocking the Social Stretch Goal: ✅ New Hero Art at Every Level
This goal is based on shares, not gold. Now is the time to send your favorite post howling into the void.
👉 Share on Facebook | Share on X There’s only 5 days left in the campaign. Give it that final push like a goblin over a parapet!
🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS
Final vote for the ratling is live. The social goal is within arm’s reach. And someone taught the minions how to unionize. It’s fine. It’s fine.
That’s all for now, my beautifully devious backers. Vote. Share. Scheme. Sacrifice. It’s the villainous way.
I, for one, gave my last minion a thank-you card before feeding him to a giant worm. It felt right.
With plague-scented ink and faint rat scratching in the walls, Scribblegut the Third Minion of the Overlord, Mechanic of Mayhem, Slightly Overwhelmed

Were you able to answer the riddle? This will be your first combat. Are you ready?

🧔 A Father’s Day Cackle + Wooden Minis, Rat Voting & Social Chaos
10 months ago
– Mon, Jun 16, 2025 at 05:44:58 PM
A Belated Happy Father’s Day, Dreadlords and Dark Dads!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, professional calendar crawler, bringer of updates, and accidental father to a swarm of gelatinous cubes (long story).
To all the father figures guiding their spawn into villainy... we salute you! Now let’s talk about something you don’t have to raise: wooden minis.
🪵 WOODEN MINIS HAVE APPEARED (AND THEY ARE GLORIOUSLY POINTLESS)
Do they have in-game function? Absolutely not.
Do they look cool, line your desk with menace, and serve as tiny totems of villainy? Yes. Deeply. Profoundly. Unnecessarily.
With exchangable accessories you can swap and customize!!
These icons of evil are an excellent add-on, and they're here thanks to our wonderfully wicked friends at Corvid Arts. We met them in the hallways of Genghis Con as they were conspiring world domination with wood and lasers.
Their work inspired the villainous add-ons, and now... they’re even offering YOU a treat:
Our social-powered stretch goal is still active! When enough of you share this campaign, we’ll unlock More Villain Art for every character (in the App and Villain Codex).
That’s 6 glorious illustrations per hero, one for each level, waiting to be unleashed by your likes, shares, and sinister hashtags.
Yes, we’re using your dark influence. No, you will not be compensated. That’s how evil works.
🐭 LAST CHANCE TO VOTE: NAME THAT RATLING
The rat still wanders the halls. We’ve tried traps. We’ve tried flattery. He simply won’t leave until he has a name.
We’ll reveal the winning name soon... unless he does first.
🗺️ CAMPAIGN STATUS
More Villain Art Unlocked. Better Quest Planner Incomming. Rat name still undecided. And someone carved “Plague 4 Ever” into the breakroom table. Again.
That’s it for now, my collectible-crazed conspirators! Remember to vote, share, and place a tiny villain on your desk if it pleases you. I, for one, glued mine to a paperclip. It now rules my to-do list with an iron paw.
With resin glue and sinus congestion, Scribblegut the Third Minion of the Overlord, Trinket Trafficker, Father of Cubes
