Another stretch goal surpassed as we start to approach the eleventh hour. Will the final 48 hours be enough to get us across the finish line to our $15,000 stretch goal and bring our total number of dark domains up to the suitably sinister number of... (Read More)
Meet the Team
July 26th - via: kickstarter.com
My name is Chamomile and I'm the developer - I worked out the mechanics, wrote the dark domains and the light realms, and have been in charge of staring pensively at the Kickstarter project and willing the numbers to go higher. I also narrated and... (Read More)

Ice Queen Fiction: Summer's End
July 23rd - via: kickstarter.com
So You've Died And Been Conscripted Into An Undead Army's comedic tone is probably going to be more broadly popular, but I the tragic inevitability of Summer's End is my favorite of all the fiction I commissioned for Dark Lord. (Read More)
The Great Transcriptening
July 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Someone pointed out to me that my videos don't have transcripts. It occurred to me this was a dumb oversight, because I read these things off of scripts in the first place. They existed as written documents before they were videos. So here is the... (Read More)

Another stretch goal come and gone. This project's middle-slump has been way less slump-y than most Kickstarters, so I think we just might make it to $10,000, and the other three light realms mentioned in the video back on the 8th: The elves of... (Read More)

Combat and Conversion
July 14th - via: kickstarter.com

Lich King Fiction: So You've Died And Been Conscripted Into An Undead Army
July 10th - via: kickstarter.com

The Lich King's short fiction is probably my favorite. We'll be seeing some more of him, including a sample chapter showing for his dark domain, starting tomorrow. (Read More)
Light Realms
July 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Our $1,000 backer just dropped down to a regular $45, which means the $5,000 light realm goal is going to have to be our first stretch goal. $6,000 is just too far out of reach now to make it our immediate goal, but there's plenty of time left in the... (Read More)

Stretch Goal Straw Poll
July 6th - via: kickstarter.com

Domains

Let's Talk About Minions
July 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
