November Update
11 days ago
– Mon, Nov 11, 2024 at 11:15:48 AM
Hello folks!
Here's where things stand so far.
Editing is finished but we found out some scaling issues in the final 4 chapters, so we'll be fixing them this week.
Layout is 60% with chapters 1 to 6 finished. Once the scaling is fixed, layout should take a few days to complete the whole book.
Next will be the proofreading, then you get access to a draft version for feedback. After that, we'll begin the print proof with DrivethruRPG. This usually takes a few weeks and hopefully the proof will reach us without issues so we don't have to resubmit.
Final estimations are for you to get the PDF close to the end of November and the print book about the end of December/early January.
Below are some page spreads of the new chapters.
See below the art pieces so far. Bear in mind that the last one is a draft, not the final version. There are still some art pieces to commission, like creature art for some specific new creatures. Due to the quantity of maps and room maps, we are trying not to clutter the content with too much artwork, aiming for the right balance.

October Update

Hi folks, sorry for the silence.
We're still trying to get the funds but we're nearly there. The smoke/test survey from BackerKit will be sent today and the official survey will be sent next week.
Then, starting October 14th we'll be distributing the previous/existing content via the BackerKit Library. You'll be notified via BackerKit about this.
As for the current project, editing is nearly done while layout is slightly delayed. All maps have been concluded already. We still aim to have a first draft of the PDF by the end of October/beginning of November.
The first 2-page spread art piece has the draft ready (below), which is the representation of the Elemental Vault entrance, with each Element belonging to one of the heads.

Hello!
We've reached the final 2 days of this campaign, thanks for your support so far!
The plan is to start layout from September 16 onwards, while we get the art pieces done. For now, we'll be going for all 3 landscape pieces for the 2-page spreads, and for the necessary chapter covers too whenever needed.
The post-campaign actions will be managed within BackerKit Pledge Manager, so the survey and rewards will be handle by that platform. Once the funds are in, we'll run a smoke/test survey, then the full survey to everyone.
From there, we can deliver the existing rewards, leaving the new ones (from this KS) for the mentioned estimated dates.
If you have any questions, you can always reach out trough [email protected].

Our friends from Grim Press are running their Kickstarter! Let's help them out.
Players love acquiring magic items! But are the dreaded Shopping Sessions actually enjoyable for Game Masters like they are for the players? With the Armorsmith's Handbook, we're trying to make sure purchasing magic items is engaging for everyone! Included in this this 175+ page sourcebook, we've created 20 drop-in merchants, each complete with:
- A fully-illustrated portrait
- A unique inventory full of magical wares (with art for every magic item!)
- A detailed background and roleplaying guideline
- A top-down map of their shop

Hello hello!
With one week in, we're nearing 300% funding, so thank you so much for your support!
Let's keep going, help promote the project if you can :)
Below is a peek at one of the dungeon rooms from the Emberheart Abyss, the last level of The Elemental Vault, based on the Elemental Plane of Fire. This is not laid out yet, so the screenshot from when the content wasn't scalable yet.
