A hard-hitting addition for the fast paced, bare-knuckles, easy-to-learn, fun for all ages, RPG that is Castles & Crusades!

Greetings from the Dens!
Lots of news here, so let's just dive right in. (Though don't miss the free book offer at the end of the update).
The backpacks are laid out and in the book. The cards are laid out as well, though Steve has not gone over them and checked them off. We are going to redo the cover image for the card deck.
The classes are finished. Several had to be re-written. The Arcane Thief, Magic User and Demiclast. Some name changes were made as well, the Harbinger was moved to a different class (as we discovered that the class "harbinged" nothing), but a new name for that class, the one "previously known as harbinger", has not been chosen.
Spells are largely done, except for a few stragglers. The whole spell section goes to editing in the next week or so. Those spells that trickle in will be added during layout as it has no real effect on the arrangement on page.
Magic items need reviewed but are largely complete.
Sections that need written are the Introduction, unarmed combat (loving this new rule), and the pole arms section.
In all, we have a little ways to go but the heavy lifting is finished. Peter Bradley is hard at work on the art for the classes and the new cover is finished but Steve needs to approve (the goal here is to make sure it achieves the same energy as the Players Handbook.)

We have only hours remaining on the Tome of the Unclean Kickstarter! The book has grown far beyond what was originally intended, and has become a massive resource on the creatures and the planes themselves. And we are within a hair's breadth of reaching our next stretch goal: Gehenna!
Join before it's too late!
Greetings from the Dens!
We have broken through a backpack wall! 28 of the 34 backpacks are fleshed out and ready for review. These have equipment, cost and EV attached to them. These will of course appear both in the hardcover book and the cards that come with the Kickstarter.
Next week I'll begin assembling these parts into one book and we'll place the order for the dice pouches.
We are moving toward the end!
And as we wrap this one up, we've assaulted the Gates of the Infernal Planes with the Tome of the Unclean Kickstarter! It's live now, funded and well on its way to its first stretch goal! Check it out, pledge, and spread the word!
The Troll Lords!
