We hope you’re all doing awesome! This month, we’re excited to share the Character Creation section with our backers. Be sure to check out the exclusive preview at the bottom of this update! As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts—join us on Discord, where backers get access to a special discussion section.

Adam Schumpert continues bringing Shadow City Mysteries to life with new characters from the Court of Rats. These figures will play a key role in both the TTRPG and our upcoming Visual Novels.

This month’s art preview features The Thug, a Heavy Subclass from the Court of Rats. This enforcer will bring brute strength and street smarts to Shadow City!

We’ve completed the first draft of the Character Creation system, covering player character creation for all 6 classes giving you a glimpse of at least level 1 in our 3 remaining classes. 

With this foundation in place, we’re ready to start playtesting the Character Creation system! If you’d like to participate, let us know on Discord. External playtesting will begin about a month later.
