Hey everyone,

You probably already got pinged, but I just wanted to make sure you knw that the Librum Monstrorum, Vol. 1: Negative Energy Plane Appendix is out and ready for you to download. Just make sure that your order is locked and charged in the Pledge Manager.

If you have any issues, or if you see any glaring typos, let us know at [email protected]

The rest of the stuff will be coming out over the next couple weeks. Sorry for the hold-up, but it's a lookin' sooooo good!

Talk to you soon!

Monster book drops first, early next week... after that the main book, then the others!
7 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

Sorry for the delay, working on the release now!

Hey all,

I was just letting you know that I was getting caught up with some marketing stuff on the Just Passing Through Backerkit and finalizing a couple of other projects. Either way, you should expect the first pass of the main book within the next couple of days, with the others following shortly. 

If you are backing Just Passing Through Extended, we may be able to work something out with combined shipping to save you a few bucks, as they'll be pretty close together in production. I'll let you know once that campaign ends.

Thanks!

PDFs dropping soon, Just Passing Through Backerkit, and Aubrey is out having a baby!

Hey friends!

I hope you're all doing well.

Project Status

The shipping charges have gone through, and soon, I'll be dropping PDFs. I'm sorry I didn't drop them sooner, as we've also been working through the Can You See Them fulfillment and a couple of commissions. I've got a few details to wrap up on the main book, but I should have proofing passes soon. Either way, they're all mostly finished, I just need some fresh eyes (ie, your eyes) to see if I made any boo-boos I didn't catch in my proofing pass before I send them off to the printer. Since the printer is domestic, it's a pretty quick turnaround.
 

Just Passing Through Remastered

Plus, we're launching revised and remastered editions of our two most popular books, Just Passing Through, which will go live next week.  Sign up and you'll get two books free!

Aubrey's Having a Baby!

In other awesome news, our customer service manager, Aubrey, will be out for a couple of weeks as she gives birth to her first child. If we're slow to respond, that's the reason why. Feel free to keep sending us emails to [email protected], and I'll be checking in periodically. Likely, I'll set up a Discord where you can talk to me directly.

Thanks again, folks! Talk to you soon!

Orders Locked and Cards Charging! Content Hits Next Week
8 months ago – Fri, Sep 26, 2025 at 06:49:40 AM

Hey friends!

Just letting you know that the orders are locked and we're now charging. We'll start releasing the content next week using our typical method. It'll come out bit by bit giving a chance to review, digest, and help us catch any last minute mistakes that we didn't find during our own proofing pass. Then, once all that's out, we'll send it off to our printers.

Thanks for the support and we look forward to sharing the fun stuff with you!

Oh, and if you didn't already see, now that we've got this on the way, we're kicking off our next campaign, Just Passing Through Extended Edition.
