Greetings everyone. Thanks for coming on the journey. We're getting closer to finishing and the PDF should be ready in October. The only art left is some coloring and the back cover.
We've mailed out all the older PDFs, including the NPC collection. Our editor went through all the older NPC books and updated them.
Next Kickstarter!
We're looking at launching our World of Myrr Kickstarter in November. Now that we've made you 676 monsters, it's time to make a world for you! We'll update our previous Myrr lore and include all 9 continents. Right now the book is over 200 pages with over 100,000 words! History, settlements, geographic features, deities, factions, et. We'll also include player subclasses, magic items, new maps, adventure hooks, and more!
More Previews!

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!
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.

Well of Lost Souls

Add-on PDFs
Most of the other PDFs have been sent out. We've just finished the Dungeon NPC book. We'll do a final edit of that, as well as update the old NPC books, next week. Then we'll send those out.

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.
Still WIP, for instance some of the magic item inserts and quest inserts aren't correct.

Backerkit Surveys
We sent out a test group of surveys on Friday, the rest went out this morning. Backerkit gathers all the valuable information we need and provides you an opportunity to add more rewards. Our other books, notebooks, stickers, and t-shirts are available.
All five of the other Monsters series books are available. PDF, softcover, or hardcover
There are several notebooks in the Backerkit, all with art by Travis Hanson
Many different stickers are included in the Backerkit
The first comic book we published is also available
Three different t-shirts are available
Pledge Questions
We included two questions in the surveys as well. We'll be publishing a World of Myrr book and several adventures next. We wanted to hear your opinion about which one you'd like first. The other question is specifically about adventures, as we wanted to know what level adventure was your favorite (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20).
Progress on the Book
The manuscript is finished and has been turned over to layout and art. This is the fastest we've ever finished the text, it would usually take 2-3 months after the Kickstarter. The Castle Dungeons chapter is laid out and ready for Travis to do the art, with the Arcane Dungeons completed already.
