Default The "missing" Character Deck cards!

If you're like me, and looove the pre-gen character cards, I have some excellent news!

As you may recall, the Character Deck included in TFT Legacy Edition was created by Backerkit participation stretch goals. Not all of those goals were achieved. As a result, the deck contained only 16 fighters of a possible 20.

Good news! I was reading back through the project updates, and I discovered that three of the four missing cards were actually shown in pictures included in the updates, in enough detail that their stats can be completely reconstructed!

Because the updates may only be available to backers, and because the material was never released publicly, I won't quote the statlines here. Their names are Khadrash, Blaise, and Anneke, and images of their cards with their stats can be found in https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/2255504 and https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/2287017

In other obscure-character-card news, in a publicly released Youtube play-example video [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMmCHVO41MM ] released right before the Kickstarter campaign started, a prototype card is shown depicting a fighter named Glorpo. He's only 28 points, and was only ever intended as an art and layout demo, but his statline is as follows:

Glorpo
ST 12, DX 8, IQ 8, MA 6
Broadsword 2d
Chainmail, Large Shield (Stops 5 hits)

The other two somewhat obscure character cards floating around in the wild are Dronf, found in Update 125 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/2453511 and Ak Kaz, found in the Decks of Destiny preview article in Hexagram 1.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Stats for Ak Kaz, and partial stats for 2 other Orcs can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...&theater&ifg=1

Dronf's full card has been posted to the Facebook group but I'm not linking to it because it wasn't an SJG public release.

No. A stretch goal in the Kickstarter campaign offered even more cards than what we received, but wasn't met. HeatDeath managed to track down what some of those cards could've been, allowing us to use them after all.
