Hi Everyone!

The Pledge Manager for The Carnivorous Cauldron is ready and should be open in a day or two. I've sent out the smoke test and we've already had a few people respond, so the sooner we get those in, the faster I can get the Pledge Manager and Preorder Store open for you all. Stay tuned, we're almost there.

Additional updates, if you're interested...

Busy time of year!

KINLESS 1.2 (with the limited edition silver foil vegvisir cover) is at the warehouse (along with Kinless 8-die sets) and shipping to distribution in early June. Stores should be getting them in mid-late June.

EDZ #4 (plus more) is still waiting on a few survey stragglers. EDZ #4 is done, EDZ #5 is in layout, TftT #2 is awaiting an article, but is in layout otherwise, sMåB #2 is in early layout, and DZ is almost ready for layout.

All writing, art, and layout for The Carnivorous Cauldron is done. Waiting on the Triglin minis to arrive, but what I've seen looks great.

The Eye of God just got the 'ready for launch' approval and that kicks off on Monday, June 1st. All writing and layout are done aside from a couple pieces of filler art. This is the first adventure in our new Apocalyptic Adventure! line. You can find it here.

In addition, the 5e version of Evil Never Dies had an edit pass, and is waiting on my to review. The 5e version of Vault of the Murderworm and The Wormfather's Apprentice will be a single volume and are awaiting an editor.

Heroic Adventure! #4 - Veins of the Fallen is still in progress, but *may* miss the Q3/Q4 window.

I've also got a Weird Frontiers book in progress, and some other stuff bubbling away, and probably 3 more things I've forgotten to mention here.

I think that's all for now.

That was quite a ride.

Hi Everyone,

The runaway Backer Train finally came to a stop. Thank you everyone that came along for the ride. We literally could not do any of this without you.

Now we beging the process of waiting for BackerKit to collect funds. That takes a couple weeks, and tthen a couple more to send them to us.

Talk soon!

Chris

Ummm...this thing is still on.

Hi everyone,

So we've been in Overtime Mode for 26 hours at this point, which mneans the campaign is still active. 

If anyone wants to add anything or if you somehow missed the entire campaign up to this point, you still have time. I honestly have no clue when it's going to end. If any project on MegaDungeon Month gets backed, everyone gets extended another 10 minutes. The backer train look pretty long, so we might be here a while or it may end any minute.

Thanks for hanging out. It's been a wild ride.

Final Stretch...

Hey Everyone!

MegaDungeon Month is almost over... < 20 hours to go at this point.

To say this project has exceeded my expectations is a gross understatement. 

I owe a huge thank you to the authors Julian Bernick and Scott Moore, the artists Dan SMith and Raven Evermoor, the cartographers Brett Hess and Raven Evermoor, and the 3D Sculptor Raven Evermoor, and Layout Magician Raven Evermoor (the amount of amazing stuff she does... I can't say thank you enough). 

I also owe ALL OF YOU a huge thank you, so... THANK YOU!

If you're on the fence, you have a little less than a day left.

Thanks!
Chris

What's this? More cool stuff?

Hi Everyone!

We decided we didn't want to do any stretch gials, BUT... we broke $10K today, so to celebrate that massive milestone, we've added a new Add-On to the project.

Let me tell you about Triglins...

Triglins (three-eyed goblins) are a key part of the Carnivorous Cauldron adventure. They live in the caves and they need your help. They can be a tiny ally or a giant pain in the butt, depending on how you treat them. 

Since we already have a Carnivorous Cauldron mini, we decided to commission Raven to produce a set of Triglin minis as well.



Triglin Minis Set 1 includes 4 unpainted Triglins (2 with spears, 1 with swords, and 1 unarmed).
There's no assembly required, but you may want to paint them. These minis are supplied unpainted.

You can find them in the Add-Ons section now. They're waiting for you. Go on... they don't bite (well, usually not).

Thanks everyone, for a great campaign so far.  We have more fun stuff in store as we go along.

Chris
