Hello everyone,
I hope this finds you all decently well.
I’ve recently had a few people reaching out for an update on the books, so here we are. I also have a kickstarter running and will shamelessly self-promote it, as successful campaigns allow me the time to work on stuff like this!
The art update is coming along. I always find when I’ve launched a kickstarter that its hard to focus on writing or nitty-gritty stuff, so design work is a nice break. I’m about 1/4 of the way through the book, and if the current rate continues, it should be ready within a fortnight or so. This will probably be Terrific Terrains in its final form and should hopefully include:
I’ll have more details on all of this when I share the files, alongside a bit of a spiel on the P.O.D situation, which I’m hoping I can alleviate a little for those in need.
Unfortunately, I have no news on Marvelous Mounts. And I’m starting to think this is a case of no news is bad news. I haven’t heard from Hobie in a while, so have recently reached out again (see below). But I’m starting to suspect that that book isn’t anywhere near the same state as Terrains, if written at all, and it may be kaput. I could be wrong, and I do hope so, but I want to keep expectations real, and I think that the book won’t be happening.
I've got a new kickstarter running. Feel free to check it out if you have some spare time! I'm also pretty sure that there are early birds still available!
This handy little book is jam-packed with Fifty exciting new encounters ready to be place before your intrepid party. Over 100 pages you’ll discover everything from dubious seers to trap-lined catacombs to corrupted monstrosities. A quirky merchant or two thrown in on top. A great addition for any busy GM that wants to spice up their random encounters.
I recently reached out to Hobie and asked about Mineralogy. I’ve come across a copy of the Print files, and I want to be able organize P.O.D codes for everyone that backed that project. But unfortunately, due to wanting to cover my ass legally, I can’t do that unless i get his blessing. I’m fairly hopeful he’ll let me, but I can’t guarantee anything. Any info I get I’ll pass on, and of course update the Mineralogy Kickstarter as well. Something I’m hesitant to do until I know more. There has been enough people let down, I don’t want to add to it.
Cheers everyone, hopefully i have the final PDF in a few weeks!
- Daniel.

I know that many have been wanting an update, and we do understand, but for now, we have not been able to make much progress on our current projects. The last thing we want to do is an update for no reason or with only bad news. Yet, we are still slowly building and recovering from the last 2 years.
See the last update for a detailed account of the impact and the sudden pause. That update covers:
As many know the DDG team has become one, and all the writing, editing, design, and everything else has slowed to a trickle. In addition to being the only person doing everything, Hobie also started a full-time job, which soaks up most of his time. We are getting things done, but it’s slow going at best. Regarding printing and fulfillment, we are still at a pause, and we will be focusing on finishing content for digital fulfillment. We are still between shop locations after moving from Texas to Colorado, and hope to change that soon.
We have a few ideas to help the projects:
No great option, but that is where we find ourselves, and we are really hoping that we can recoup some funds to begin fulfilling, but until we do, we are not projecting any progress to fulfillment until Fall/Winter 2022. That is if we can not sell equipment, or raise funds in another manner. I know this will upset quite a few people, but we are still here and while we are only one, we still want to create and world build for you.
Our Current Work
While our time to create, write, and format it all together for you has been cut in ½ or ¾, we have made slow progress.
Our current workings and content creation that we are working on/plan on working on next is as follows:
It is a decent plan, and work that makes progress towards a future final fulfillment date. To all of you that have been involved with Deep Dungeon Games and our projects, we truly thank you! I know progress and information have been slow, and we apologize. It is so defeating to write an update that makes little progress, and it truly is hard to feel like a failure doing something that you absolutely love. You all have been so incredible and supportive throughout the last 7 to 8 years, and we are not giving up!
As we outlined above, we plan on focusing on completing edits, reviews, designing, and other work for the files for our current projects. This will be done, of course, starting with the oldest, then chronologically addressing each one, with a general plan as above. We are going to work on combing through the plethora of comments/messages. I know that response is limited, but we will get to them one at a time, and with some luck, we will have some good luck soon!
