Good morning, Monsters,

Two bands have made it to the final finals and will be facing off on Fruit Soup, streamed right from Level 2. Cubic Harmony versus Deadboy and the Squiggles. A hot top tier boy band up against the rocking surfer blues that hum cthulhu to sleep. It’s TOUGH YO. Tune in this friday at 9pm EST for Fruit Soup on Twitch if you’d like to see the battle of the bands and cast your vote.

Update on the orb that has lit the Dark sea on Level 6. It’s chill. Like for real. More news if anything develops beyond great conversation. (We chat.)

Copies of the Viva La Dungeon “Promotional Tournament Edition.” have been ordered.

I’m very proud of this new version that we’ll be using to introduce Viva.

I did a lot of work on the Random Encounters, I’m digging the square card format.

Now you can see Greedmaw’s awesome art a lot better, I’m looking forward to seeing how these print. And of course I’ve added stuff no one has every seen until today (that’s so fun to do.)

Like this guy:

We’re going to try Geoff out lol.

There are 12 Encounters total. When you take the Move action and fail to pay enough attention as you wander through the Crypts, you may find yourself having fun times like these:

I made more decisions than I had expected, like which 4 Patrons would debut in the “core” game.

The Hobo King, The Mother of Wood, and 2 new ones. And I’ll say that one of them “rose” to the position.

More on that next week.

Same headline as last week, because I tried out some new ways for the mushroom’s to come out and I wasn’t super happy with them.

I’m going to see if I can cook up a new way to look at this mushroom dispersal.

Oh and Greedmaw has been working on a big surprise in regards to the Level 5 Map.

It’s going to debut tonight! (It’s not minor, that’s all i gotta say)

See you for some Viva! 9pm EST on twitch.tv/thelichinghour

Cheers, Lich
