Good morning everyone!
Wow can you believe its 2025?!!! We cannot, time goes by so fast. But first we hope that everyone had a safe and magical holiday season and a Happy New Years! We have a lot planned for this year and a lot of really cool events coming up! So, let's jump right into this.
First, we need to start with some book keeping. Nobody likes this but we need to address this issue. There are still roughly 80 customers that still need to finalize your pledge manager or your payment got denied.The pledge manager is going to close on January 30th and if you do not fill this out you will not receive your pledge nor a refund at this point. We do not want this to happen to anyonebut by the time the pledge manager closes, you would have had 16 months to finalize the pledge. Please DO NOT MISS THIS DATE, THERE WILL BE NO MORE EXTENTIONS!!! Any questions please send us an email at [email protected]
Ok, now the fun stuff. Lets talk about what is going on with the books.
Book's 1 - 4 Update
As everyone knows, Book 1(Trouble in Havdhir) and Book 4(Innocent in Still Echo) are both fully completed and the PDF copies have been released. Shard Tabletop is also available to play online. You can obtain the PDF versions of the book on the download section in your Backerkit profile.
Book 2(Darklands of Vlaskhell) - is running behind due to the massive size of this book. The book is over 525 pages. Because the owner added roughly over 200 pages to this part of the adventure, this is just taking us longer than expected. But the final product is amazing and we cannot wait to share it with you. The book is in final editing, Voiceover acting and maps are being finalized. Below is where the book stands as of today:
Book written - Completed
Editing - 95% Completed
Formatting - Not Started (We will be turning the Book over to Chris hopefully within the next 10 days)
Voice Over Acting - 90% Completed
Artwork - Completed
Maps - 90% Completed
Necromancer Chamber
Subjects 32-36 Room - Neverdawn Asylum
Book 3(Lost Mines of Shjekhel) - Book 3 is completely written and editing has started with the owner and he is expected to hand the book over to editing to start in early February, 2025. Artwork has started on the final book and Maps are being drawn up. We anticipate the entire team to engage in this final book in Mid February, with a completion March/April 2025. We will keep you updated when changes occur.
The Witches of Broughboro
Miniature Update!!!
For everyone that purchased miniatures in this campaign. Miniature production is well underway and is about 70% completed. If all goes well, we will start fulfilling Miniature orders in Mid February. I have to say the miniatures are amazing and some of the nicest miniatures on the market! We cannot wait to share them with you.
Upcoming News Events!
Starting again next week, on Thursday January 16th, at 7pm EST, we are going to continue with our Curse of Usurper Campaign on Twitch. Come join us and watch and talk to the players as they make their way through the streets of Havdhir.
Miniature Kickstarter Coming during our Spring Bash!
We first announced the miniature Kickstarter in November, and we were a little too optimistic on when we could launch it. Unfortunately, we needed to push back this a few months too late March/early April.
We can tell you, two new factions (Halfling's and Dragonborne) will be introduced, with all miniatures, stretch goals, add on's, there will be over 65+ miniatures being released!
We are so excited to expand our miniature line with 2 new factions, but we are also expanding other lines within our collection, such as the Dwarfs, Vampires, Dark Elfs, Goblins, Cultists, Bugbears, and many more. We hope you come to our "The Burrow & Bloom Bash" and see who is invited. More details to come next month.
Here is a sneak peek on how the stretch goals are going to work. Shhhh! Don't tell anyone I told you. :) But as we make our way around "The Burrow & Bloom Bash Festival", our pledgers will be able to vote on who they would like to invite to the party! You will select from 3 miniatures and the lucky one will get invited. But don't worry, if the miniature you wanted isn't invited, the other 2 miniatures will have additional opportunities later during the campaign.
We are excited to welcome back Jason Wiebe, Christine Van Patten, Chris Lewis, and Glenn Harris as our sculptures for the upcoming miniatures.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please reach out to us at [email protected]
Have a great weekend and see you next month!

Lastly, and this is very important!!! There are still more than 100 pledges that have not filled out your surveys and have declined payments. YOU MUST finalize your address and shipping. You have till October 15th to finalize the survey. If you do not do this, there is no way we can ship you, your products. We will NOT issue any refunds for not filling out your surveys.

Good Afternoon all our gamers!
Wow, I cant believe it is already the end of August! Time is flying by this year, but that also means its getting closer to fulfillment next year. We hope everyone had a safe and fun filled summer. Today, we have a lot to go over so lets just dive into the update.
First, for all those pledges that purchased the STL files, those are being released this afternoon. You will need to go into your Backer Kit profile and under your "Digital Downloads" folder you will see instructions under "STL Dungeon Files". All you have to do is click the link or copy and paste the link to your browser and go and download your files. There are a ton of files to download so it may take you a little bite of time to download.
Second, we announced 2 weeks ago the "Curse of the Usurper VTT Playthrough Lottery!!!" 6 lucky winners will embark on an epic adventure led by Tomb Guardians Owner and DM, Cass Suwinski! Lottery open until Tuesday, 9/10! We will do a live drawing of winners on Discord. We will be doing our first live stream playthrough with the 6 winners on Tuesday, 9/24 @ 9PM EST.
Third, is the Status of the books which we will list below:
Book 1 - "Trouble in Havdhir" Finished and PDF files released (those files are in your Backerkit "Digital Downloads File"
Book 4 - "Innocent in Still Echo" Finished and PDF files released (those files are in your Backerkit "Digital Downloads File"
Book 2 - "Darklands of Vlaskhell" Completely written and currently in editing. Because the owner added nearly 200 pages the editing is going to take longer and expected to finish in Oct/Nov. Then the book will be passed onto Chris for formatting in a book form. Expected release date @Feb. 2025. Artwork is 95% completed and will be finished next month. Music is completed and Voice Acting will start next month with a completion of Oct/Nov.
Book 3 - "Mines of Shjekhel" Book is completely written and now being reviewed and read by the owner. Editing is expected to start November and take until February 2025 to complete. Once completed then Chris will format the book. Artwork is expected to start in October to finish the last book.
Fourth, request for audio files. Tomb Guardians has been asked if we could release the audio files for the first 2 books released. The owner Cass, is working on getting those files assembled to be released digitally to everyone. We will keep you posted on this release in the near future.
Fifth, miniature collection. All the miniatures are completed and you can see the painted miniatures on our website located here: https://www.tombguardians.com/curseoftheusurper. Distribution of the miniatures will be announced later this year in the last quarter of the year, roughly Nov/December time frame.
Sixth, Shard tabletop VTT has also released the first 2 books and everyone should have received an email directly from them. If you do not get an email, lost it or misplaced the link please email us at [email protected] and we will get you another link.
