”Madness - sublimity of the intelligence, or so it has been said.”
The Upuaut by AlienAtSystem, 54NBB, Uncanny Gemstar
Overflowing with the magic of a dead people, the Upuaut has many facets. He is the embalmer, the psychopomp, but also the scout and the vanguard. He is found at the edges, between the fields and the desert, between life and death, and from those thresholds he gains power.
Hail, O you who opens up the way, who acts as guide to the roads to perfect souls in the House of Osiris, open you up for him the way, and act you as guide to the roads to the soul of the Osiris, the scribe, the registrar of all the offerings made to the gods, him whose word is true with you.
The Veiled by MetalGy, Shay, Cat, 54NBB, verywhale
"Tired of its senseless and endless life, it came here to seek its own demise."
A figure hidden behind veils. He keeps his secret as protection against the superstitious common men. The Veiled is kept alive forever by powerful necromancy, but against his own will. His body might be fragile, but it is an indestructible vessel for his own soul. Over time he learned to control the same power which cursed him. Perhaps it can bring his end, but it also keeps others from their end. He came to the very end of the world to find his long-awaited death, which time or simple methods cannot give him.

This weeks and last weeks mods:
The Janissary by Snorlaxxo, Shay, Cat, terkmc, 54NBB
The Janissary is a weathered soldier who made the long trek from the southeast to aid the Hamlet. He claims he was sent by his Sultan as an act of goodwill, but is there more to his story than he lets on to? However inscrutable, we know that we will not turn down help from someone who so readily masters and shares the art of war.
Janissary can help any party from either the back- or frontline. In either position, he can play his instrument to cure stress partywide, growing stronger the more he uses it. Put in the backline, his arquebus delivers devastating attacks to the enemy back rank. His braced gun will shred through enemy armor with great accuracy, and bombs will thin the herd by debuffing and damaging their middle ranks.
In the frontline, he is a supportive tank who can deliver partywide buffs. The buffs are enhanced on guarded allies, and he can guard many allies at once while delivering a sharp counterattack.
The Mutants are heroes from a different universe, pulled to the Hamlet through Eldritch means. It's unknown how it happened; however there are rumors the Occultist left a certain totem in the Reliquary and the Caretaker unknowingly activated it when praying.
The Mutants are formidable heroes, having mastered the skills of ninjas past. They are able to maneuver the battlefield, and turn the tide in their favor. They attack from the shadows, are adept in precise attacks, and occasionally break the tension with some boisterous celebration.
"Born of an unnatural incident, raised by a talking rat, and often nicknamed after famous painters, the Mutants delivered vigilante justice to the streets of a vast, bustling city. In their universe they fought gangs, aliens, and monsters, but their greatest foe was the "Shredder," an evil warrior who led a ninja gang called the Foot Clan. It's rumored these Foot Clan have followed the Mutants, but their whereabouts are unknown."
"An unfortunately fortunate remnant of my celestial endeavors."
The unfortunately fortunate survivor of the comet. Having been on the edge of the farmstead, she was spared the full brunt of the comet's blast, but was not entirely unchanged. Her body is twisted, but her now-petrified heart stays true to the caretaking of others. Today, she is steadfast in her goal of helping our heroes now that she has no home or family to return to, and is desperate to escape the harsh memories she is sometimes trapped within.
"Too many young men go to die. I will handle this."
The Babička may be an old woman who has not seen war firsthand, but she has been hardened by a long life of loss and strife. She offers both a motherly supporting hand, and the scorn of a mother's wrath in the field. She will stand in the way of attacks, willing to endure pain herself to spare her younger allies, carries medicines and a gentle touch to soothe their pain, and can bark out battle strategies to keep the team in order thanks to her experience. On the other side, enemies are mowed down with gunfire, her outdated firearm packing both an impressive punch against armored foes and having decades of practice to hit dead on the mark. She can clear out enemies hiding in the dark with a flash of powder to suddenly reveal them, the shock of which may be quite potent. Or, if the foe be particularly unruly, she can physically reprimand them herself, delivering a smack that many a young soldier has been forced to endure.

This mod works on adding many hero barks to the game for all heroes in the game, in many scenarios. While it is a work in progress, there is a link in the mod description for anyone to submit ideas for lines of their own, allowing people to work together to work on the mod.
The Anointed by Retrograded, Falco, Shay, Kenthril
"Feathered, fanatical, but most of all faithful, the Anointed utilises powerful miracles and buffs to enliven and inspire his allies. However, he is not loathe to go on the offensive, striking with holy fervour and flinging zealous accusations."
The Anointed is a brand new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. A wildly fanatical bird man, he is religious hero who channels his devotion into respectable heals, damage, and debuffs, and has arrived at the Hamlet with the simple purpose of purging it of evil.
The Anointed comes with original artwork, sounds, and animations, and fully custom barks for reactions to the many things in and outside the dungeon!

Here are this weeks mods:
The Stargazer by Shay, Arcapepper, JolBalrok, Adon, Cat
"The space between worlds is no place for mortal men..."
The Stargazer is an all new class mod for Darkest Dungeon. He is a frail but powerful damage dealer, an astronomer who has been touched by an unfathomable astral force, granting him abilities that can only be described as magic. By tapping into this force, he opens himself to phenomenal cosmic power, which can possess him, body and soul, tearing away at his psyche. As a result, one is never fully in control of the Stargazer's actions, and if pushed too far, he may lose control. He has fully original assets, including sprites, animations, and sounds.
"Imbued with cosmic forces beyond his comprehension, the Stargazer bends space and time to his will, flinging his enemies across the battlefield with volatile energy some would call magic. His true strength is beyond his understanding, however, and he is never fully in control of his own actions."
“Inadequacy gives birth to aspiration- and desperate longing.”
The Duelist is a high dodge low hp frontliner. She specializes in movement skills, debuffs, and consistent damage- and has riposte and guard to back her up. She is weak to dots and her resistances are fairly low- especially her deathblow resist. Keep her hp high or you could lose her in an instant!

A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.
Here are this weeks mods:
The Herald by Badger
The Herald is based on applying debuffs and status effects, alongside supporting their party from the front. Alongside 10 new class trinkets, not suffering from death’s door, and a unique affliction, the Herald should be a welcome addition to a party.
With wine running as freely as blood and daggers gleaming bright in the darkness the courtier is sure to spread madness around any confrontation. With his assortment of ales and trickery the Courtier is motivated to drive out the fiends and take back what was his all too long ago, even if it means his own demise.
The courtier is a fragile back line stress healer and support hero who is also capable of dealing significant damage to most enemy ranks. Much like his hostile counterparts the Courtier thrives in the darkness, and uses this power to help his allies sustain themselves when the torch runs low.
The Bone Courtier Class Mod includes all new artwork, animations, and sound.
Ignorance of your enemy and of yourself will invariably lead to defeat.
Here are this weeks mods:
Here Be Monsters: The Fungal Satyr by Shay, Adon, Uncanny Gemstar
Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This instalment introduces the Fungal Satyr, a corrupted fungal zombie like the legions of others in the Weald. Unlike most, though, these monstrosities are nimble and deceptive, skittering madly about the battlefield and ambushing unwitting adventurers with their blighted claws. Appearing in Veteran dungeons and higher, the dreaded Satyrs will pose a new, troubling challenge for those foolish enough to wander into the Weald…
"The slithering eels of the cove have grown fat on the bodies of drowned sailors..."
This mod adds the Drowned Consumer monster to the cove, a robust foe who may prove more deadly than they first appear. With large deadly teeth and powerful jaws, and a collection of bones picked clean and gnawed viciously among its knotted coils, they may assault the tender bodies of scaleless humans and their tender minds with the horror of their grave stockpile. However, while surprisingly large-bodied, their scales are small and weak compared to the other fish-folk, making them somewhat more susceptible to the bleeding they so readily inflict on others. If one is lucky, they may leave behind their malformed fang, which is well suited to cutting into waterlogged bodies to draw blood.

Happy New Year! Here are this weeks and last weeks mods:
Shadow of the White Vvulf by ooh ah, TerkMC, Woona, BattedMH(NS) , BEAN CONSUMER
"Though the pack is dispersed, mourn not for it's leader. For the spirit of the hunt never stays dead for long."
The White Vvulf is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Farmstead. This boss fight will test your mettle, you will most likely not succeed on your first attempt. There is no punishment for retreating during this fight. It is highly recommend to bring a hero with a stun ability.
A professional in disease control and prevention, the Exterminator was summoned to the Hamlet to take care of a seemingly mundane rat infestation, only to find that the corruption in the sewer reaches far beyond the material plane. Bounded by contract and his own code of duty, the Exterminator is here to stay until the root of the infestation has been removed and the ground cleansed of its remains.
The Exterminator is a mid rank offensive support with a niche of anti DoT and disease, being able to ward his entire team with great resistance while disrupting the enemy with a variety of debuff, disruption and stun. Though his direct damage isn’t great, over time, the accumulated blight damage of his fumigator can wear down an entire team at once, and the weakened can be finished off with a stomp of gun stock.
As it turns out, while you and your loyal band of doomed adventurers were toiling for the sake of the Hamlet, an infinitesimal evil was brewing under your feet. Pestilence and malaise have always been a perilous aspect of this hard-knock life we live, so it was only a matter of time before unfamiliar plagues from forgotten corners of the land swept through our beleaguered community.
This gameplay mod adds 1 new quirk, as well as 20 new diseases for your unfortunate heroes to catch sick with. It also enables Sky Taint to be contracted by random means. The diseases I added are intended to mesh elegantly with the ones already present, while also spicing up both the variety and the danger of encountering illness.
Vinny’s Blackest Enemy Overhaul by vinnyp316, Cryptix, Chassé, 54NBB, Woona
After countless cycles of bloodshed and death, the heart of the world has been corrupted beyond any sane human’s wildest imaginations. The types of these creatures have morphed, planting and harvesting core components of their being. The brains of these creatures have been lobotomized and refashioned, giving them intelligence far beyond what was once had. And of most import, the flesh and soul of many of the strongest creatures on this plane have been shifted, giving them powers beyond compare, and taking away just as much. It is time for the true test of mettle, the final cycle. Welcome... to the Blackest Overhaul.
Every boss in the game has been tweaked, every enemy slid in a more interesting direction, and moves of these foul creatures have been given a tune up. The changes are so numerous it would be impossible for them to go over everything, so make sure to check the full mod page!

The Ringmaster by TheHolyChicken, Anonymous_Koala, Chassé , Shay, Zap
"The Ringmaster demands a challenger!"
Charismatic. Enigmatic. Barbaric. The Ringmaster leads The Butcher's Circus with a gleeful grin and an iron fist, with her unique set of skills able to delight and dismay in equal measure. Many have tried to usurp her, and none have lived long enough to regret it - much to the glee of the bloodthirsty rabble.

Soul of Cinders Crusader by MoonKanin
This mod gives the crusader class additional skins to look like Dark Souls 3's Soul of Cinder in both an embered and unembered state, along with an Alva variation.

Jester Thomas Skin by MetalGy, verywhale, Slightly_Seal
This mod features a full reskin and visual replacement for Darkest Dungeon's Jester (including guild panels and equipment), based on the Dark Souls 2 character "Jester Thomas". Additionally, mod changes the visuals for some skills and their icons.
The Philomath by Rehtaelle, MoonKanin, 54NBB, PhallseAnghell
"This one sees the truth as I did. She merely cannot comprehend it." A woman commanding forces beyond her own comprehension comes to the estate, seeking answers to questions she cannot comprehend. Will she regain control of her life, or does something insidious await this broken soul?
He was a night watchman guarding a lighthouse on the seashore, but overheard of a plot by anchored pirates. To silence him, the captain tied him to the deck and put him to death for questioning about what he had heard. It was on this day that the curse of the ancestors manifested itself with unparalleled power, and the greedy pirates were eternally punished, and he, who was innocent, was also implicated. After the shipwreck, he slept on the cold bottom of the ocean for many years. In the end, he miraculously woke up, only to become unholy like the crew around him. But unlike them, he still retained his humanity, he took what he needed from the sunken pirate ship; his cloak was the original pirate ship's sails, also took the first mate's machete and the bow light, he returned to the bay, and began to enact his own revenge.

”Terrors may indeed stalk these shadows, but yonder – a glint of gold.”
Here are this weeks:
Pet Cemetery Dungeon by Dem, Selafio, Adon, many others in the mod description
Just outside the hamlet, unholy creatures stir in the local Pet Cemetery. This burial ground is home to more than just the remains of the villagers’ beloved animal companions; shadowy creatures, haunted skeletons, and fierce animals claim dominion. But powerful treasures may be discovered at archaeozoological expedition dig sites: search for Pet Keepsakes (rumored to possess wild, unpredictable power), find rare and curious remains from a Bone Collection, or experiment with foul Forbidden Baubles. Gather your party and prepare to explore this twisted, gated place.
Pet Cemetery is a complete dungeon add-on mod with new monsters, gems, quirks, items, provisions, quest maps, secrets, and more. Discover over 50 trinkets from 3 new Collections. Try to defeat 4 new bosses to continue your Darkest Dungeon adventures. Hear diary entries about an ill-fated expedition. The Pet Cemetery dungeon will appear after week 7 as a new map destination to explore + play for the remainder of your game. Includes random Find, Explore, + Cleanse missions, plus new variable-path quest maps.
A figure with a past cloaked in mystery, the Hierophant desires only one thing: justice for the Hamlet. Charged with bringing his former mentor the Fanatic, the newly minted inquisitor set forth into the unexplored regions of the estate, nearly losing his life upon encountering his old master. Realizing that the Fanatic had grown stronger then humanly possible, the Hierophant fled to the Hamlet, seeking to lead a crusade against these cursed lands, bringing to justice all those who fled from the Light's grace.
