[h2]Holiday Creations Contest ends on Saturday![/h2]
You have just a couple more days to show off your talent and be part of our Barony Holiday Creations contest. Join the Barony Community Discord now and check out the current submissions (everything from drawings, to music videos, even fan-fic!), and submit your own! IT'S FUN and you might win a prize!
Check out what Discord user The Captain put together for the contest:


[h3]Get your Barony Holiday Avatar Frame![/h3]
Did you know there's like less than 70 animated avatar frames on all of Steam? Now you can flex your Barony pride by snagging the holiday-themed Barony avatar frame from the Steam Points shop. That is, if you got 2000 Steam Points layin' around!



[h2]Know anyone who wants Barony?[/h2]Check out who you know that has Barony on their wishlist and blow their mind with the best Christmas gift on the planet. Get Barony for 50% off for yourself, and/or gift it to all of your friends, acquaintances and strangers who friended you!

[h3]A FOUR PACK? For this FOUR PLAYER GAME??![/h3]
Did you know that Steam doesn't let developers make 4 Packs anymore? Right now you can get a discounted Barony 4 Pack for less than the price of two copies of the game. (Get the Barony 4 Pack on the store page, right here)

Or maybe somebody you know owns the game but not the DLC.
[h3]Check out all this sweet DLC.[/h3]
Barony DLC literally never goes on sale so like, a trusted friend told us that it's finally time to just make peace with that and grab that sweet, sweet DLC you've had your eye on! Go dungeoneering as a Goatman or Automaton or whatever it is you're into, the DLC is awesome. The Mechanist class from Legends & Pariahs is basically making toys so, you know. It's Christmassy.


Now is a great time to throw on the Merry Barony Christmas mod and take part in some dungeon celebrations in Santa's Steam Workshop. Happy Holidays from Turning Wheel LLC!

[h3]To celebrate the holidays, we're inviting you all to participate in our Barony Holiday celebration challenge![/h3]
Starting today, submit your festive holiday-themed Barony work. Our favorite will win a Barony Switch case, made from leather, and personalized with text you get to pick! We'll also be offering some prizes to other submissions that really impress us.

Our partner at Spring Heeled Studios provided these cases for Kickstarter backers, and this is your chance to get this unique, one-of-a-kind treasure you won't find anywhere else.


We're looking for submissions of your original work in the medium of your choice that celebrates the holidays with Barony.

This could include:

• Illustration or Painting
  
• A Steam Workshop Mod of Barony
  
• Machinima video using Barony
  
• Song or Music Video
  
• Animated GIFs or epic Screenshots
  
• Photos of Sculpture or Cosplay
  
• Cleverly edited gameplay videos
  

Get creative, have fun, and show off your talent!
The winner(s) will show off what makes Barony special while also including a prominent holiday theme.


Share your work, or links to your work, on the Barony Community Discord in the #holiday-contest submissions channel. You can submit multiple entries, but we will only award one prize per entrant.

We've updated the Merry Barony Christmas mod we introduced in 2019, now with more candy canes, festive foes, and more thoroughly decked halls!

Merry Barony Christmas provides you with the vanilla Barony gameplay experience that won't invalidate your achievements. And of course, you can play with others who are also using the mod. Enjoy a holiday gathering within the dungeons!

This cosmetic modification is entirely optional, and you can find it here:

We're so thankful to dungeon-delvers like you choosing to spend your holidays with Barony!
We've been working on Barony after its release for over five years now. We'd be honored if you selected us for the Labor of Love award. Thank you!

It's the last day of the Barony Kickstarter. There is a ton of value there, both as Steam users and for Barony fans who want to make a mark on the dungeons! We are very very close to funding and your pledge could make all the difference!

We recently added the Dungeon Veteran tier with our Steam users specifically in mind.

[h2]The Dungeon Veteran Tier[/h2]
This new backer reward tier assumes you already own Barony, and entitles you to a key for the upcoming 3rd DLC that will be funded by this campaign. Further it grants you access to exclusive development channels and private Betas. If you want to add on a Switch copy of the game, you can do that too by selecting this tier and adjusting your pledge.
Don't own Barony yet, or want to give the gift that keeps on giving? A pledge at the Master Key tier grants you a key to Barony, all its DLC, plus the next DLC when it comes out!

[h2]Campaign Recap[/h2]
The 5 week campaign has gone on for a while and we expect not all of you have been following it closely. Take a moment to peruse all the great things that are going to happen when this Kickstarter succeeds:

• NEW DLC adding alternate paths, new monsters, spells, items, plus new playable races and classes
  
• UI design overhaul that improves flow and tech-rework to add split-screen play
  
• New UI art direction featuring all new carefully crafted pixel art
  
• Superior gamepad support to make Barony great to control on any platform
  
• The port of Barony to consoles for the first time on the Nintendo Switch
• Crossplay for the Switch, allowing online / cross-platform co-op on the console with Steam users
• Coop Ghosts & in-world callouts, improving teamwork with easy communication
  
• Dungeon Seeds! Pick your dungeon to re-play or compete!
  
• The Compendium, an arcane source of knowledge and lore that fills as you play!
  
• ~150 backer adventurer names added to the random names list

• 25+ backer-designed items & spells added to the game
  
• 10+ backer-designed champion NPCs added to the dungeons as minibosses or allies

Ever dreamed up your own spell or magic weapon ideas? Maybe an achievement that highlights a skill you're particularly good at? Or maybe you want your finest hero to be memorialized in-game forever? We have Backer Rewards that can let you do all of those things!

There are also 6 developer videos that deepdive behind-the-scenes into Barony development topics on the Barony Kickstarter page. They're great viewing for any Barony fan!

Before it's over!
