Welcome, Returning Heroes and New Adventurers!

Glorious celebration and feasting have filled the King's Palace! In just over 18 hours, Tay the Summoner accomplished all that the King had asked of her. She had swiftly gathered the adventurers who had become scattered throughout the realm and beckoned them home. And arriving with the veteran heroes were many new adventurers as well, hardy and eager to prove themselves.

The King was beaming with pride as he overlooked the mighty assembly. But something wasn't quite right. He knew someone important was missing.

And then the realization struck him like a thunderbolt. Tay herself had not returned with those she had summoned! What cruel fate could have befallen her?

The Lost Alliance

Word quickly spread throughout the chamber of the missing summoner. Soon it was apparent that Tay's closest companions, Mitra the Trickster, Vrahk the Hunter, and Shoktor the Transmuter, were missing as well. 

This stalwart alliance was last seen entering the infamous Slayer's Dungeon. What strange adventure could have diverted them there? Were they imprisoned, slain, or worse? 

The heroes of the realm knew at once that they must set out on a new adventure: to find the Lost Alliance!

In the midst of the chaos and confusion that followed the realization of the missing adventurers, another crisis arose. Runyon Zay the Gnome Scholar suddenly realized that two of his figurines, the ones depicting his favorite heroes, Bull the Human Warrior and Lorna the Half-Orc Priest, had gone missing!

Then there was much swearing, spitting, and kicking of random objects on the part of the temperamental scholar, and no one could console him or assuage his temper. At that moment, Runyon felt something inside the left pocket of his robe.

"Wait, everyone! It's okay! They were in my pocket the whole time!" announced Runyon. He then drew them out for all to see.

With a sigh of relief, everyone returned to their duties. The crisis was over!

Issue Summary

• We reached our funding goal in just over 18 hours. Congratulations to one and all, and thank you so much for your support! Now it's time to unlock some Stretch Goals!
• Our first two Adventure Packs have been unlocked: The Lost Alliance and War in the Deep. Prepare for more details about these stories throughout the days ahead.
• Adventure Pack Add-Ons: Some of you have requested that we make the Adventure Packs an Add-On so that backers with high shipping charges can work together to mix and match their packages. After some consultation with the printer, we have made this change to the Add-Ons section of the main page. Now you can essentially design your own package filled with Add-Ons, and we will only charge you the base shipping fee for your country. Thanks to everyone for your feedback!
• Please spread the word: Please like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and if you have played the game, please rate it on Boardgamegeek.com. Please share and retweet our posts, and please discuss the game with your friends on your favorite game websites.

The Gilded Prison has been unlocked!

Centuries ago, a gold dragon named Mryth awoke from a dream that he had reformed all the wicked creatures in the universe, thereby abolishing evil for all time. Determined to see his dream come true, Mryth constructed a majestic fortress where he trapped thousands of monsters with the hope of rehabilitating them. This fortress is called the Gilded Prison.

But now word has reached the court that the magnificent stronghold has been breached by an unknown power. Within this place of seeming serenity now wages a conflict of tremendous scale as thousands of monstrous beings burst their bonds in revolt. The chaos might even spread from the gates of the prison and into the adventuring lands beyond.

"To arms!" shouted Sir Holgar the Paladin as he rose to his feet. "We must not allow the dragon's vision to perish!"

But there were other in the court who had different thoughts, those who had long hoped to seize the riches of the legendary prison. McFarlin the Dwarf Assassin immediately signaled his companions. This crisis was ripe for opportunity...

Next Stretch Goal: The Titan Awakens

How was it possible for an entity as mighty as the Titan to rise to power?

If we reach our next Stretch Goal, you will witness his ascendancy first hand. The next Adventure Pack to be unlocked will allow you to behold his surge to glory as you prepare to face the Realm of the Titan. This Adventure Pack allows you to seamlessly incorporate the Titan Quest from the Dungeon Alliance: Champions expansion into your campaign. Now you will learn the backstory of this monumental foe before facing him in epic battle!

The Next Mystery

What lies beyond the next Stretch Goal? If we unlock The Titan Awakens, we will reveal the next mystery, which will have two parts. 

The first part will be an enhancement to the four Adventure Packs that we will have released so far. Some of you have been requesting more of a certain card type, and we've been listening. We'll be adding this card type to each Adventure Pack that we release in the campaign if we reach this goal.

The second part will be a downloadable component that will take us many weeks to complete, a way to open up the fictional world of Dungeon Alliance in a whole new way.

And if the momentum of the campaign continues, we have more in store for you too, including new Adventure Packs and even more enhancements to the game! Much adventure awaits us, stalwart heroes!

Issue Summary

• We've unlocked Adventure Pack III: "The Gilded Prison." Will you be able to restore the dream of Mryth the Gold Dragon, or will you profit from his vision's destruction?

• Our next goal is Adventure Pack IV: "The Titan Awakens." If we unlock this Stretch Goal, you'll be able to witness the Titan's rise to power before facing him yourself!

• The next Stretch Goal beyond that will include an oft requested card type added to each Adventure Pack, as well as a downloadable component that opens up our fictional world in a whole new way.

• Beyond that: more Adventure Packs! More enhancements to the game!
