Sigil Winner
In a landslide victory, Sigil of Transfusion will be the next Sigil to be added to the game!
Sigil of Transfusion - Everyone gives a player of your choice 1 life. If there is at least 1 wraith, they roll 1 extra die next turn.
Note*: Yes, you can choose yourself as the target. However, how selfish of you! You must not be the Faithful then.
Another Poll Next Week - Monday, March 15th
Next Monday, we'll again have a poll for another Sigil that will stay open until Thursday March 18th @ 1am Central (UTC-6).
Note, some of you posted on the update itself in order to vote and that is definitely okay. We'll just tally your votes from here and add it to the results.
Pledge Manager Progress
We have been working on getting the Pledge Manager finalized. We are not there yet but we are still on track to get the Pledge Manager open before the end of the month.
Join Us For Game Night
Every Thursday we host an open board game night on Tabletop Simulator. We start every Thursday @ 7pm Central (UTC-6). You are more than welcome to join us! Tonight we are looking at Raiders of the North Sea and Canvas.
We will also be doing playtesting of Cult of the Deep over the next few weeks, so please drop in there for a chance to join a game. You will need Tabletop Simulator.
Character Update
Progress on the Faceless Character Concept.
Faceless Character Rough
Until later this week, let us know what you think of the artwork for the Faceless or any Sigil idea you may have.

Where We Go From Here

Next Steps
Going over a few things today to let everyone know what the plan is and what to expect.
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds to B.A. Games and this process can take a few weeks. We'll use this money to help finalize the production plan and get the manufacturing ready.
Second, we’ll send out a BackerKit survey towards the end of March to collect your shipping information and to have you finalize the pledges and any add-ons you may want for Cult of the Deep. We’ll give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email will contain a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards for manufacturing.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.
Third, if you have any questions, feel free to contact us. You can do it through Kickstarter and the messaging system, an email, Facebook, and even Discord.
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.
Embroidered bags for tokens and coins.
As well as:
1 New Character Card
9 New Alternate Character Cards
5 New Sigil Cards
2 New Ritual Cards
Sigils Poll - Monday, March 8th
We will have a poll for another Sigil on Monday on our Facebook group page. This will go until 1 am Central (UTC-6) on Thursday, March 11th. Come let us know which once per game abilities you would like to see in the game.
Communication
Over the next month we will likely be posting an update on a weekly basis but once we are through March we will slow down updates to twice a month. We will keep you updated on new cards, artwork, production, as well as be announcing some playtest nights if anyone is interested in joining us. They are open to anyone, even if it is just to watch or ask a few questions.
Thank you again and we'll talk to you next week!

Votes Are In - Sigils
In a turn of events, the Sigil of Accumulation came in from behind and swooped the nomination for the next Sigil to enter the game.
Sigil of Accumulation- Increase 1 ritual track by 3. Gain the altar effects 3x. If no effect, gain 4 life.
If you are curious as to the other Sigils, check out our Facebook Group post for more details: Cult of the Deep.
We will be having another vote starting later today for another Sigil. Stay tuned!
Link Click Challenge
On the 1000 click challenge: 901/1000.
Over 900! Here is the link: https://bit.ly/cult-welcome. Remember, we now have less than 48 hours to do this. Go out and share it with the world!
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.
Update On The Faceless
After working on some initial concepts, here is an updated rough draft of the Faceless, a character card that was unlocked due to your extraordinary support! What do you think?
