So, since the topic is being weird today, I figured a replacement would be useful. So, until its fixed, just post anything relevant into this topic!
(and once its fixed, could a mod merge the topics?)

Last news by Buttery Commissar, from the second playtest day:

Replies to this topic seem to be invisible today? I'm confused. Last one I see was last week, despite knowing there's a couple made today.

We did indeed play the expansions today! There were only 8 of us doing that, and each pair has a different expansion. My friends played the Tyrant (dragon) expansion and I played the sequel to the main game, the continuation of the Necromancer story.
The scenarios and stories are very varied, with clever situations like boss monsters that are lurking around each "chapter" but don't fight you fully until the end scene. The conditions for winning each chapter vary, with some requiring an escape, some requiring you to survive in a room until the end, and some hunting down the exit.
The rules become more advanced without becoming crunchy - the necromancer gains more tricks, some monsters have AoE attacks, or can affect terrain.

I also asked, and I can tell you what the surprise is! There hasn't been an official announcement, but I double checked in person with Luke @ Mantic if it was okay to tell anyone. He said yes. I will remove this info if anyone objects, because I was previously told it was super secret squirrel.

Spoiler:

The box for the Kickstarter release of game is going to be in the shape of a giant book/tome. It will be packed to sit upright on a bookcase! We were told the expansions from the KS will also be "hopefully", and there will be a third "book" release that is empty, to store your painted figures.

Also: the Pledge manager is officially closed, but unofficially still functioning.
So if you missed the deadline, for now you may still adjust it.
