A Correction and a Question
8 months ago – Mon, Jan 26, 2026 at 09:09:10 AM

Hello!

First, I need to apologize, because I messed up. The last update stated printing would be done by the end of January. But that was information for another campaign. I am SO SORRY and feel awful.

Let me tell you what's up as far as I know. The first draft of the NEP PDF is targeted to drop by the end of the month, but the book has been growing to close to 300 pages as Dave continues to write. Some of the content includes a few micro-adventures! Which leads to a question:

Would everyone like the micro-adventures to be dropped while you wait for the full PDF, or would you rather wait for the full pass to be done? Drop your preference in the comments!

I apologize again for the misleading information. I'll be meeting with Dave again this week and will update with any other info as soon as I get it!

Thanks you guys!

Quick update from Dave!

Hey all!

Just popping in for a brief update per Dave: Proofing and printing should be finishing in January! Then we'll ship everything out.

If you're missing PDFs or having other account issues, email me at [email protected]. Use your full name and the email you used to pledge. I'll get you fixed up!

Thanks everyone, and Happy New Year!

Been out because of medical issues... should have more updates soon

Hey friends,

Sorry for the delays. I've had some blood pressure problems which has been causing some intense headaches, so I've been taking it easy these last few weeks. Once I'm back in the saddle, I should have some releases coming to you, likely the spell book and the main book. 

If you didn't already grab it, make sure to check in on Backerkit and get the monster book which I posted a couple weeks ago.

Any other inquiries, send to Aubrey at [email protected]

Monster book drops first, early next week... after that the main book, then the others!
11 months ago – Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 09:11:45 AM

Hey friends,

Yes, yes, late late late. But, good news! I just finished completing one major project (Steel Psalm), a commission (a small booklet for our friends at Kickstarter), and another adventure book from a previous campaign (Overclock). Now that is all mostly out of the way, this is my primary focus for the next couple of weeks.

Finishing up the review of Negative Energy Plane, I need a couple more details. Sometimes, when I review something, I wrinkle my nose at a few parts and decide it needs a bit more work. Such is the case with this. But I absolutely love this. Even if you never run it for a party, you should have fun reading it.

Fortunately, the monster book is nearly complete. I have a few details left to finalize (Table of Contents, back page, and other minor items), and then I should submit it on Monday or Tuesday, depending on how the weekend goes. The monster book is close to 300 pages, so that should give you lots of fun stuff to work with. The Negative Energy Plane will follow closely, and then likely the spellbook after that.  If anything changes, I'll post an update here. 

Anyway, thanks for being patient. 

As always, you can reach us at [email protected], and Aubrey will respond as soon as possible.

Take care!

Dave
