*Taps mic* Never done this before...

Hello there! This is the Eldritch Editor, Courteney, speaking, and I hope this update finds you all well.

I come bearing news that is all good and hopefully makes you shuffle in place with glee. So much of The Dark Carnival is getting done behind the scenes, and I'm going to peel it back juuuust a bit. If you are ready, pull those socks up and hold on to your hat!

As of August 7, the rough soundtrack was dropped into our laps by the amazing "V is for Villains" team! It's coming along amazingly, and it's already sparking ideas amongst those who have listened to them. It has the vibes, the atmosphere, the beats. I've found myself bopping along to the music more times than not while it's been on, and I'm excited to see how it progresses!

I can only imagine how things will feel when the music starts playing during a game session. Will you tense up under the whimsical music, or will it help you relax and enjoy the carnival more? I guess time will tell... And I hope you'll share stories with us when that time comes!

We are so so close to having all the art polished up and completed. There's only a handful of things left, and it's all being brought to life beautifully—or, well, as beautifully as can be given how spooky some bits are. You get what I mean! 

Seeing the art we envisioned being brought to life with such care and skill has been such a trip. Every notification had me leaping to check it all out as soon as I could—zooming in and looking at each detail to see how each artist added their own flair. It gives me chills! I loved it!

The copy edits are officially complete and turned over to us! We're going to be spending the next while going through and making sure the final polish is as good as can be before letting it rest from all our poking and prodding. 

If you haven't already, make sure you join our Discord, https://discord.gg/5WBczsUryc, so that you can tell us your stories of the Carnival once the words are in your hands. We love hearing how your games are going!

And, if you made it this far in the update... Well, thank you! Here's a little reward!

Can you guess what subclass this is?
