Hello Dearest Delvers,

Well it's here, the version of A Torch in the Dark that over a thousand people helped Kickstart. This new version has all you love from the old version, same inventory, same skills and items, same dungeons to explore, just much prettier and streamlined to fit in a cozy bit of socialist literature RPG zine. 

What's new exactly? Well...

• New layout
• New art
• New character sheet w/ rules reference
• You no longer have multiple lives. Brada cannot resurrect you, you have one shot at this.
• Slightly modified skills and items
• More example characters (all named by special KS backers)
• Modified dungeons and encounters. To get the page count down, numbered cards in each dungeon represent the same sort of encounter. Aces are still mostly demons, Jacks are the same but are usually more in depth and risky
• New dungeon goals. It's not all just killing undead nobility now!
• Downtime rules changes. You can do each downtime action only once per downtime. Spend your coin accordingly! Also stress recovers just like the rest.
• Companions are more resilient
• Consequences no longer includes stress. Felt punitive in a not fun way. Spend that stress to push yourself, y'know?
• And lots of other small things I have forgotten

Thank you all so much for your support and being fans of my game. This one has turned out to be one of my most popular and everyone who has done a review or Let's Play or just said something nice in the comments has helped. 

We save each other.
