Day 21 Stretch Goal
Awaken Realms has revealed the Day 21 Stretch Goal: Alternative Minion Sculpts. Originally, Grimcoven provided 16 Minion miniatures/standees (8 Convicts & 8 Undead Warriors). With this new stretch goal, 4 Convict & 4 Undead Warriors miniatures/standees will be swapped out for new, unique designs.
This addition offers greater variety & enhanced table presence, with two designs per Minion type. Each Minion type now has six different versions represented by unique Stat cards, providing twelve different Minion opponents with distinct stats & attack/defense abilities. This variety adds extra layers of tactical diversity & replayability to the game.
Community Engagement
One of the standout features of the Grimcoven campaign has been the active engagement & participation of the backer community. Awaken Realms has introduced polls & encouraged feedback, allowing backers to shape the development of the game. This collaborative approach has fostered a strong sense of community & ownership among backers, who have played an integral role in the campaign’s success.

Awaken Realms has emphasized their commitment to delivering a high-quality game without overpromising. They have a track record of delivering their games on time & without asking for additional funds, even during crises.
