Next Stretch Goal Unlocked: Community Expansion!

Incredibly pumped to check in on the project after the holiday weekend and find that the Community Expansion has been unlocked! 🎉

I'm sure you are all wondering what that means, though? Here's the low down: On our Discord server we have a channel dedicated to deck ideas for Dreadquarters, and so far, we've seen some really interesting and fun suggestions. We thought, since you are all so awesome and blowing through our stretch goals in this campaign, that we might let you have a hand in choosing the next goal.

The Next Villain is Your Choice!

So, since you got us to $56k, we'll let you decide! The next unlock will be a Villain Deck. Drop your idea (limit one idea per person, please! We will not consider ideas from those who submit more than one) in the comments of this update for what you'd like the next Villain deck to be. 

Paul will choose a handful of his favorite ideas from those comments, and we'll run a poll for you all to vote on which one becomes a reality. Once the deck is chosen, we will commission original illustrations and a unique card frame for the winning Villain deck, as well as iterate on the mechanics and do playtesting in our Discord server!

Drop your idea below and then check back in here for the poll! We'll close submissions and open the poll once we reach that next stretch goal!

New Stretch Goal Unlocked

Dreadquarters passed $52k last night. You guys are insanely awesome. Though, admittedly, your thirst for villainy is making these milestones seem more like warning signs...should we be concerned? Blink once if you are okay. Blink twice if you've pledged your soul to the darkness.

Either way, you've unlocked the next stretch goal:

The Failsafe Villain Deck

The Failsafe Villain Deck is a living facility able to adapt to new threats, The Failsafe is able to continuously reconfigure its layout and lay unexpected and deadly traps for invaders. This villain's unique play style bends the rules of the game by allowing you to rapidly reshape the placement of rooms, traps, and minions throughout the Dreadquarters.

The TTS Is Giving Players All The Feels

In case you missed it, we updated the Tabletop Simulator to include the Necromancer Deck. This gives you the chance to step into Dreadquarters and try the game before the campaign even ends. We've already seen some incredible feedback from players jumping in. Here's just one review:

After reading that, it gave us all the feels, too 🥹🥹🥹 which is honestly unacceptable. We are villains. There's no crying allowed here. Even the happy kind. 

In all seriousness, if you've been on the fence, this is the perfect way to experience the game firsthand. 

What's Next...

The next stretch goal ($56k) is a little, well, let's just say less defined. And for a reason. Basically, because it's going to be awesome. Let's just say maybe now is the time to start plotting your own brand of villainy.

More details soon!
