Loyal Retainers of Halloway,

seeing you gather around our Queen one by one fills our hearts with joy. 

One of the best things about working on a game written by someone else is that you can just pile on the compliments without feeling self-conscious: the NessunDove team fell in love at first sight with the strange mix between weird fantasy and human melancholy of Jason's work, and it's particularly satisfying to help bring a new version of it into the world, with creative input as well as the more practical matters of adaptation.

Like any good Italian, we're very superstitious and do not want to celebrate before time is due... But your constant stream of support just makes us want to announce our first achievement a little bit early. This will be the next step after we reach the base campaign goal of 3000€.

When we started working on this new edition, the first thing we pledged to do was give every Retainer a new portrait. Al Lukehart is an amazing artist and their illustrations of the original 4 Retainers-- the Knight of Whispers, the Gravity Witch, the Hangman Golem and the Bloody Historian-- were so full of character that we couldn't help but want more.

So there we go! At 3500€, 4 more Retainers will get the full art treatment:
