Dr Feelgood Roaming Miniboss by Cryptix
Beware when the Good Doctor comes to town. Peddling his wares exotic and proud. He brings nothing but death and misery in his wake. For every gift he grants, another soul he takes." Dr Feelgood will begin to roam the hamlet much like the Thing after the first expedition to the Farmstead. Fear the good Doctor!
Farmstead+ by Hunting Slime, Anonymous Koala, Shay
Farmstead+ is designed to be an overhaul of the Color of madness DLC. It's main focus is to add onto the DLC, while trying to keep the base feel and flow of the DLC there. This adds new types of quests to the Farmstead, including Explore, Slay, Gather, and Boss missions. Farmstead+ even has two Darkest level bosses, if you’re feeling brave…
New Extra Abilities for Heroes: by verywhale, MetalGy, 54NBB
This mod adds two new joke skills to Leper, Jester, Plague Doctor, Highwayman, and Antiquarian, all with their very own art and animations with more coming in later updates. Alongside this, it modifies the guild and character panels to make sure that everything can fit these new abilities.
The Practitioner by Seal, Shay, Anonymous Koala, Jezamine Tan
The Practitioner comes from the distant Sunward Isles. Once a prevalent member of the Sunward aristocracy, he lost his seat in the court in a magical duel with a rival onmyoji. After a failed plot of revenge against his rival, he was cursed with the appearance of a koi.
The Practitioner is a bit of a mix between an Antiquarian and an Occultist, being able to provide support from the mid ranks, while also being able to find artifacts that both bolster his skills and provide gold.

The Rotting King by Seal, S-Purple, MetalGy
The Rotting King is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Ruins (Was formerly in the Darkest Dungeon, but this caused game-overs for certain players in Stygian/Bloodmoon). The fight is designed to be a bit difficult, and retreating from it will require sacrificing one of your heroes. Beware the wrath of the Rotting King!
The Mariner by Shay, VeryWhale, MetalGy, Sketch, Adon, GoblinMan
Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This installment introduces the Mariner, a forgotten seaman driven mad by years of wandering through the labyrinthian tunnels of the Cove. Having long fallen prey to the pelagic plague that twists mortal men into aphotic monstrosities, the Mariner still clings to some scantling of his humanity, but under pressure, will shed it and give in to a hideous parasite that infests him…

The Powder Keg Class by MoonKanin, Cryptix, Uncanny Gemstar, Shay

His class uses a variety of techniques shown by the Hunters of Bloodborne, using high speed and devastating attacks to their advantage.
Wielding his trusty Rifle Spear, the Powder Keg continues his duty of protecting the common folk from the beasts that plague the land around him. Slash and shoot your way through the hordes of monsters that threaten the estate!
Red Hook is excited to announce that the boardgame version of Darkest Dungeon is live now on Kickstarter!
We have partnered with Mythic Games, who have demonstrated an incredible enthusiasm and appetite for table-crushing games constructed of top notch components. Mythic had resident Darkest Dungeon fans on staff in their design team, and their adaptation clearly shows the love they have for the source material. We also are excited to see DD come again to Kickstarter, which is where this whole adventure began in 2014!
Bringing a board game of DD to life has been a dream of ours for some time, as we enjoy tabletop gaming ourselves. We can’t wait to hold this in our hands!

Here are this weeks and last weeks mods:
The Chimera: by Mafe
"Once a Proud Hunter, now a wandering traveler who offers his services to anyone willing to pay them. A shape-shifting warrior, that uses the power of the beasts he used to hunt before to his adventage. The Chimera tries to give a new sense to his life, after all the mistakes of his past, he is ready to dive into the infinite, clutching darkness, in search of his own Redemption..."
The Roaming Raiju by Chapeleiro, Chassé, Mafe, Uncanny Gemstar, alongside the authors of the original mod, Slightly_Seal S-Purple, LegendHookKoala
"First, when the storm reaches this land, It will bring the lightning, and with it, the beast followers that will scout the land, killing any enemy that can challenge It's master with a unnatural speed." "And them, the crumbling thunder will come, bringing the monster we call 'The Raiju'." "A beast made out of pure rage and madness, so powerful that with only one strike it could bring the skies down upon us, destroying everything in it's path. We can only hope and pray for the gods for his defeat" "Oh gods, the wind is howling. The storm is coming closer, heir. Lit the forge! Open the guild! Prepare yourself for the battles, because this beast won't have any mercy towards us..."
Dark Dunge is a shorter, more replayable campaign experience. You only kill each boss once, and hear their storyline through curios. You fight each boss only once, and find out their lore via curio interaction, hero levels and upgrade cost requirements have been cut in half, and many other changes have been made to make a much shorter playthrough possible.
”Let me share with you the terrible wonders I have come to know...”
Here are this weeks mods:
The Devilbird by Bob the Seagull King, LegendHookKoala, Shay
"Without tools of iron, we must rely on flesh and indefatigable purpose..."
"An agent of light, the Devilbird remains meditative in combat, waiting for the enemy to strike before responding with disproportionate zeal. Guided by the singular purpose behind its creation, should the weight of enemy sins grow too strong it can retaliate with the full force of divine intervention and condemn the dark back to their pits."

The Gallows Tree by Shay, GoblinMan Is Cool, Adon, Dragonborn, TrueLolzor
Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This second installment introduces the Gallows Tree, a corrupted tree that can be found in the depths of the Weald. Long reviled by the Hamlet for its gruesome decades-long history, the Tree has taken on new life under the fell magic that has twisted the lands. Twice cursed and bearing hatred for all that is good, its corruption is sure to strangle all forms of life that venture near it...

The Blazing Lord by Snorlaxxo, ✦{Icarus}✦, Anaertailin
"Despite the strange, menacing aura surrounding her, the new traveling visitor explains she means no harm and swears her loyalty to you, her only wish is the conquest of these cursed lands. While her words seem sincere, you can clearly sense she's hiding something - she seems to be the type to cause havoc.
This is a reskin for the Highwayman featuring completely new sprites, animations, and sound effects based off of the Powder Keg Hunter from Bloodborne.

The Salamander by Shay, TerkMC, Adon, Kenthril, PhallseAnghell, Rakked
"A marvel of technology! An engine of destruction!"
The Salamander is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon based on an original design by S-Purple. An accomplished mercenary from a distant land who has specialized in bodily modification, the Salamander is a nimble but fragile damage dealer, featuring powerful attacks, shuffles, and bleeds. Her powerful flame abilities come with a risk of backfiring on her, damaging her frail body beneath her armor. She has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.
"A grim fusion of metal and flesh, the Salamander has become a living war machine. Through use of her flamethrower, she can inflict devastating albeit unstable area attacks on her enemies, or nimbly jump to and fro with her prosthetic claws, wreaking havoc on the enemy's formation!"
"A beast stalks these once-hallowed graves, draped in the flesh of a dead man and hungering for the souls of the long-departed."
The Carnifex is attracted by the stench of the dead, returning from the graveyard as more of your heroes die. Similarly to Vvulf, the Carnifex will wait until you have a full party ready for him once his conditions have been met, with the Apprentice version requiring Lvl 1 Heroes, the Veteran requiring Lvl 3 Heroes, and the Champion requiring Lvl 5 Heroes. Similarly to the Crimson Court introduction event, refusing to fight the Carnifex will lead to the entire Abbey closing its doors until he has been defeated.
