Top 10 on KickTraq Again, Revealed Stretch Goals

Top 10 On KickTraq
Nice job! I know you are out there helping to make this happen. We made top 10 on KickTraq! This has unlocked another social stretch goal and we will be adding an alternate Character Card to the game. This brings us to a total now of 17 character cards in the game!
Link Click Challenge
On the 1000 click challenge: 628/1000.
Over 600! Here is the link: https://bit.ly/cult-welcome. Remember, we now have less than a week to do this. If you know of any new places to share this, now is the time!
For those new to the updates, once we reach 1000 clicks on this link, we will unlock an alternate version of a Character Card in the game. This means we will add a new Character Card to the game that will have the same art and concept as the original, but a new ability based on the character. This will provide more options for when you play the game and provide more replayability.
Current State of Stretch Goals
So far, we have unlocked the following for Cult of the Deep:
All tokens in base game (Life Tokens, Chant Coins, Siren Coins, Necromancer Coins) increased in thickness from 1.5mm to 2mm.
Life Tokens and Altar Boards gain UV spotting.
Clear Acrylic Life Tokens Add-on upgraded in thickness from 2mm to 4mm.
Embossing, UV Spotting, and colored lining added to game box.
UV Spotting on backs of cards.
As well as:
1 New Character Card
7 New Alternate Character Cards
2 New Sigil Cards
1 New Ritual Card
All Stretch Goals Revealed Except $50,000

Individually embroidered bags that add a deluxe feel and provide help organizing and setting up your game faster.

New Character Update - The Faceless
Liam Peters and I have been hard at work on the new character and we are ready to show our first rough draft and a litte about the character.
The Faceless
"Creating masks empowered with ancient magic and the essence of his victims, he is able to transform himself into that person. Being a perfect copy with a collection of their strongest memories, skills, and mannerisms makes the Faceless a truly dangerous member of the cult."
What do you think? Please share in the comments below or in the main comments on the KS page. Note, this is a first rough draft. There will be changes and modifications to this as the artwork and rules are developed.
Poll Launching Friday for New Sigil
We will be adding a poll Friday to vote for the newest Sigil for Cult of the Deep. Watch for that on Friday.
We'll talk to you soon!

Social Stretch Goal Tomorrow!
Tuesday, February 23rd, we are trying for Top 10 on Kicktraq again. How do we do that? This is how you can help:
1) Check out our Kicktraq project page and then visit our Kickstarter page through their link,
2) Please post a comment, a question, recent game shenanigans on Cult of the Deep's main KS page main comment section. Don't think Kicktraq picks up on the update comments section.
3) Spread the word and get other people to check out the Kickstarter, even to just take a look at it. Feel free to have them use the Kicktraq link above or our other social stretch goal link: https://bit.ly/cult-welcome
If we can get in the Top 10 again, we'll add another alternate character to the game!
For those new to the updates, once we reach 1000 clicks on this link, we will unlock an alternate version of a Character Card in the game. This means we will add a new Character Card to the game that will have the same art and concept as the original, but a new ability based on the character. This will provide more options for when you play the game and provide more replayability.
More Voting Coming Soon
We will be having more voting coming soon for the sigils. More information this week.
Coins and Tokens
Someone asked for some pictures of the coins and tokens. Here are a few that show some different angles and a closer look at some of them. The coins are from our manufacturer and what is seen are the coins you will be getting. The cardboard tokens you see were produced by a prototype maker. The final tokens will be thicker and we are working on the tinting as well. Also, the dice in the pictures below are not final but are early prototypes. Enjoy!

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm and we'll see you tomorrow!

Top 3 On Kicktraq
You all did some excellent work yesterday with the clicks, the comments, and bringing the traffic to our Kickstarter page. We made it all the way to Top 3! Excellent work! We have unlocked another alternate Character Card for use in the game. That actually brings us to 16 Character Cards in the game! 6 of which are alternate versions of existing cards. (5 from social goals and 1 from unlocking the Faceless)
Over 500 Backers
This is awesome. Getting to Top 3 on Kicktraq and then also having over 500 backers is a dream come true. You are the reason why creators come to Kickstarter, so that with your help, we can bring something to life. Thank you.
Results from Sigil Voting
Thanks to your voting we now have a winner for the Sigil that was unlocked at $25,000. The winner is...Sigil of Vengeance!
For those new to the updates, once we reach 1000 clicks on this link, we will unlock an alternate version of a Character Card in the game. This means we will add a new Character Card to the game that will have the same art and concept as the original, but a new ability based on the character. This will provide more options for when you play the game and provide more replayability.
Join Us For Game Night(s)
Every Thursday on Discord and Tabletop Simulator, we have a board game night. We play a variety of games ranging from: Cthulhu Wars to Quacks of Quedlinberg. It varies week to week and we would love to have people join us. We do it every Thursday (including tomorrow) starting at 7pm Central (UTC-6). If anyone is interested, you can join us on our server: https://discord.gg/ysXdSbayTy.
Also, we will be having a number of nights next week to play Cult of the Deep. We will be testing some of the new cards and would love for people to join us. We'll be posting a schedule in this Friday's update.
