It's official - the adventure's PDF and Foundry VTT versions are out! I am sitting with a smile on my face, and Geezer is flying happily around the room... while you should get emails with redeem codes in your inbox! So go, claim the adventure, delve deep into the secrets of Blackrock mine and stop the evil from rising again! 

Some time has passed since the last update... so it's time for another one! A lot has happened in that month so here is the most important news!

As I sent the playtest version some time ago and managed to sit down and get feedback - and think about the adventure some more - it became clear to me that the beginning of the adventure is lacking. Because of that, I sat down and added a whole new chapter - a Prologue - that will better introduce players to the story! The prologue comes with new maps; a little bit of new art and expanded story bits - and side quests that are connected to the main story areas!

VTT Coming Soon
Because of the expanded text, new maps, and additional content, the VTT versions are still not ready - but we are on the final stretch - busily walling, making macros, and interactive puzzles so the VTT experiences are the best they can be on each respective platform! We hope to have the first VTT modules ready by the end of the month!

As the book is finished, expanded, cleaned up, and full of art and maps, we have sent it to printers... and hope to have it back soon! The pre-printing process took some time and back-and-forth communication, but everything is cleared up and ready!

As the book is being printed and will soon land in our small office, we are locking the addresses on Friday - so we can send it as soon as we get our hands on it!

Another week has passed and here is a short update! We have finished setting up the book, and are only waiting for some minor corrections from the artists so we can finalize and export the PDF!

The surveys were sent out last week - and most of you have already responded! Thanks! For those of you who did not, please do it as soon as possible, as we are getting close to the release date - and I may need your address to ship you your rewards!

We are planning to charge cards and lock orders (at least for those of you who responded to the survey on Friday, 9th February! After that, we plan to send digital rewards early next week - and the printed ones as soon as they land in our hands!

This update is long overdue (Geezer has been pestering me to write it for some time), but I wanted to have a substantial one for you - and here it is!

Surveys are out - and a lot of you have already responded! Thanks! If you did not, please do because we are getting closer to release, completing the survey will allow me to send your rewards!

I am proud to announce that we have gotten all the art and have received the text back from the editor after the third pass, so the only thing left is setting everything up so the PDF is ready, which should happen soon! After that is done, we send the PDF to print so we can send physical versions your way, and we will work on the VTT modules!

Thank you. We made it - and we even managed to unlock the final stretch goal - the Adventure Soundtrack! We could not do it without your support! 

We - me and Ayatee at Dragonshorn Studios and you, dear backers -  first have to wait a bit. While Backerkit processes your pledges, we will be setting up the surveys - but we can't send them before money lands on our account! We are also working on updating the adventure already so you can get your hands on the digital versions soon - and physical versions not long after!

We hope to have updated text, art, and digital versions ready by the end of January (which, of course, is subject to change if unexpected things happen). We are then going to send the book to print - and then to you!

We will keep you updated as we work on the Dead Mines: Reforged! And keep an eye out for the BackerKit survey in your mailbox relatively soon!

A small note: if the bank's fraud control kicks in with a transaction from Poland and the amount you pledged, it's most likely us! 

The update is a little late again (we were celebrating Christmas), but I am happy to announce we have hit another stretch goal! That means we will make sure the adventure is compatible not only with the 5th edition, 3rd edition, and Pathfinder Second Edition but also Black Flag Roleplaying!

Our next stretch goal is one you may have guessed before - soundtrack! We love having music add-ons for our adventures, so we want to make sure the Dead Mines come with pieces that will make players feel even more in the adventure!

Half of the campaign has already passed, and we are on a good pace to hit our second stretch goal, for which we here at Dragonshorn Studios are super excited! We also wanted to show you a little something - a sneak peek of one of the maps in the adventure!

As you may know, the maps for the adventure will be done by no other than Meditating Munky! These are shaping up to be fantastic - and we want to show you a preview of one!

Last but not least, as Christmas is approaching, we wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday (and a happy new year in case we don't see each other before that)

The update is a little late (we were preparing for a local convention yesterday and went there today - and we can tell you that it is really fun!), but we hit the first stretch goal - which means we will be working with an artist to make sure the book has even more art inside!

If you know how we build our adventures - ready to support multiple systems - we looked at Black Flag Roleplaying and thought that The Dead Mines might be a very good first foray into that... And so, if we hit the next stretch goal, we will make sure that The Dead Mines for BFR will be ready to play on release time - and ready for Black Flag in any VTT that will support it.

Well, that went fast! I have gone to grab some food, returned, and we are already funded... and in less than 30 minutes (and when I am writing this we are nearly at 200%)! So, first of all, we here at Dragonshorn Studios - me, Ayatee, and, of course, Geezer, want to thank you!

Fantasy books need art - and we love art - but getting beautiful illustrations is pricy! While the Dead Mines will be beautifully illustrated, we want to add even more art pieces to the book - so you and your players can feel like you're in the Blackrock Mines in person! Reaching the goal will help us hiring more artists to get even more art!

Remember that if you missed getting our earlier adventures in print - it's one of the only chances to get one! We have added add-ons that will allow you to grab our earlier printed books easily!
