about 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 24, 2023 at 09:48:18 AM

Thanks to all our backers for helping make a great book. The team worked hard and completed Monsters of the Dungeon ahead of schedule! Thank you to Travis Hanson and Gordon McAlpin for all their hard work. A special thanks to Rico Gilbert for the Ear Wyrm monster idea! 

We've started to send out the PDFs this morning. The process to get the printed books made is also underway. 

Next Kickstarter in November

The wraparound cover for the upcoming World of Myrr book

Our World of Myrr book is coming to Kickstarter very soon! This will be a 200-page book with one of the most detailed campaign settings you've ever seen. All nine continents will be included with settlements, geographical features, factions, NPCs, etc. You can use the lore presented or use the world to fill in details for your homebrew campaign. Travis Hanson will be doing the art and we'll have Philip Stephen return to make all nine continent maps. Every one of the 676 monsters from the Monsters series will also be in the book. More details to come! Next year we plan to make multiple adventure books.

Late Summer Update
about 1 year ago – Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 02:03:12 PM

Greetings backers! It's time to update you on our progress. Monsters of the Dungeon is still ahead of schedule. There are only ten more illustrations to be completed in the ink phase. The final edit was finished this week as we had some changes after the art came in. At this point, we're looking at 123 monsters in a 150-page book!

We have regular updates on our new Discord server:  Cawood Publishing Discord You can also hear about our projects on the Two Wizards and a Mic podcast:  Two Wizards and a Mic on YouTube  or  Two Wizards and a Mic podcast version 

More art! 

Travis has been working very hard. He has quite a few monsters to color, but most of the illustrations are now done. We still have to decide what we'll do for the back cover.

July Update. More art!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 11:27:22 AM

Hey there, I hope everyone is doing well. Progress on the project continues and we'll be mailing out the older PDFs shortly. PDFs that are part of different backer levels will arrive first, then the add-ons will follow. The Dungeon NPC book is still being written, so that will come later.

Regarding the main book, Monsters of the Dungeon, the layout is done and Travis is working on the rest of the art. He's now finished most of the Arcane and Castle Dungeons illustrations.  

Good news! We should have 124 monsters, so you get a nice bonus.
