First off, thank you!
We are very excited about this project and we're grateful for all your support.
What's Next
Backerkit Survey
We are in the process of finalizing our Backerkit pledge manager and we will be sending out the Backerkit survey smoke test within the next few days. If everything comes back correctly, we'll be sending out the rest of the surveys by next weekend. We'll post our next update when we send the surveys out.
Our Backerkit pledge manager will close on Feb. 10.
Production Progress
The writing is complete and we're into final editing. We also have two of three art pieces completed from our artist. This means the next major step is layout and design.
Once again, we're blown away by your support and we can't wait to get this adventure into your hands.
Happy gaming!

We're down to the last few hours of this Kickstarter campaign, and we're really happy about how it turned out. The large backing is allowing us to commission more artwork and we're really excited about the way everything is looking!
The previous update showed where we were heading the zombie horde, it's almost done, and this is where we are:
We have one last project we'd like to give a shout out to, it's Dungeonmania, and they're doing some amazing stuff with maps, and all for 1 Euro!
Update #4: Artistic Flair

BEHOLD!
Within the bowels of the Temple Catacombs are many answers... though you may need to fight your way through the hateful dead in order to claim them.
Action at its finest: You and your friends vs. the world.
This original art by Eugenio Forsali is under development for the adventure, and we think you'll be as hyped as we are to see it take shape. You can check out more of Eugenio's fantastic work on his Artstation page.
Featured in this line art is a scene from the adventure, merely one of the many challenges your party may face as it pieces events (and themselves) back together. This isn't even the climax of the module!
The ravenous dead present an obstacle, but one your party may relish in conquering. Clearly their violent hatred is no match for your... violent... hey, wait a minute; is your party part of the solution, or part of the problem?
As we enter our final few days for the Kickstarter, we hope you share in our anticipation of the adventure and the good times you will share around your table.

Update #3: Fatal Wounds!

You Wake Up Dead. Without Any Bubble-Gum.
Death Defiant begins with player characters waking up and getting back to their feet, only to find that they have done battle. And lost. Badly.
Their flesh is grey and dead, yet they are still alive... sort of. The power coursing through the Temple has run amok, and the player-characters are animated and in control of themselves. They will begin by taking stock of their physical (and spiritual) condition: a table of fatal wounds is included in the adventure for characters to roll on. Read on for a preview of things to come...
GM:Youreyes open and you stagger to your feet, pulling yourselves bodily off the floor. And the pile of corpses you were laying among.
Demetria:Oh, dark gods - did Haroldcles go drinking again and sweep us up in the debauchery?
Haroldcles:Hey! That would be awesome. But I didn't do that. This time.
GM:Correct! (this time). As you turn to look at Haroldcles, you see a ruin of the man you once knew. Haroldcles, roll a d6.
Haroldcles:Uh, 4.And for the record, weare all just shattered husks, wandering aimlessly in this wide world, until the eternity of empty void takes us all into its inevitable embrace. [Drinks deeply from a wine-skin and the wine leaks out of holes in his abdomen].
GM:Sections of your skin have melted away, and the area surrounding these terrible gaps iscovered with crimson boils. Moving feels like your skin is pulling, tearing, even creaking with each small adjustment.And now wine is leaking out of your abdomen along with congealed blood in a grim spray.
Hippocrates:I do say old chum! You like like death warmed over. [Sees GM motion for him to roll too]. Yes, yes - 1.
GM: Your chest has been caved in on the left side by a mighty blow, and broken ribs poke out from behind your clothing and armor. Your jaw is cracked and askew. Any attempts to talk produce a grinding sound from your broken jawbone.
Hippocrates:Ga-hhhh-gruk--ufff-ugghhh-ur-nall...
GM:Oddly, your voice still emanates clearly for the others to hear.
Haroldcles:Hey! We were messed up long before this misadventure got started.Also, your mom is like death warmed over. She says "hi" by the way.
Demetria:[Massaging her temples in a vain attempt to remain calm. Flips a d6 when the GM points at her next]. 3.
GM:Demetria, your open wounds ooze dark, clotted blood and you feel a click in your elbow everytime you move it. The bones are definitely broken, but somehow your grip and movement are not effected.
Harodcles:Fine, let's get out of here. This place is dead anyways.
We have a d6 table in the adventure of fatal wounds, and we are prepared to expand it. Reply to this update in Comments to make suggestions. We will incorporate the best ideas to expand the table!
