Project Update: STRETCH GOAL #5 - Rogue : Detective !
Hey all!
I’m excited to share that we’ve now raised over $100,000 for Keld Fallen! Thank you so much for your incredible support.
As promised, reaching this milestone unlocked a brand-new subclass that we’ll be writing for the book! We rolled for it during Monday’s stream on Twitch, and the result was:
Rogue: Detective!
For those who have watched our show Deadbeats, this subclass will be modeled after JesseCox’s character, Logan Horn. It’s the subclass I would have designed for him had we been playing Deadbeats from the very beginning!
For every additional $20,000 raised above $100,000 through pre-orders, we’ll continue adding new subclasses until all 10 of our original concepts have been selected. We’re already halfway through the list!
Thank you again for all of your support. We’ll be doing another wave of Discord approvals soon, so be sure to fill out the survey if you haven’t already. We’ll also be releasing the Keld Fallen lore document very soon in the Keld Fallen Discord!

Project Update: Keld Fallen Surveys Are Live!
Howdy folks!
Wanted to let you know that we have officially sent out the Keld Fallen surveys!
Over the next week, I’ll be getting our digital downloads ready for folks who picked up WSD: Fishing and Fiendish Forge add-ons. I’ll let everyone know once those digital downloads have been pushed out. Right now, I’m making some final updates to Fiendish Forge so it aligns with our printed version when manufacturing begins.
Please make sure you fill out your survey. You will not receive access to digital downloads until your survey is completed.
We have also opened up the Keld Fallen playtest server, where all of our playtest materials will be shared. The Discord link is included in your survey.
When joining the server, you’ll be given a questionnaire where you can enter the email you used when backing Keld Fallen. Please make sure you use the same email! If we cannot find your email, we won’t be able to approve your access. We’ll be going through approvals sometime this week.
As a friendly reminder, Keld Fallen is still actively being worked on. A few folks have thought this project would be released immediately, so I wanted to clarify that we are still working on the book, including book design, game design, art, and text formatting.
Content-wise, the writing is finished, and most of the maps are done, though some still need updates. Most of our creature art is also done. We are still working on getting everything into a finished, polished state, including stat blocks and new art assets. We do not have an ETA because we believe in an “it’s done when it’s done” philosophy. It won’t be done fast, but it’ll be done right.
Soon after folks start joining the server, we’ll be dropping our first playtest document: the Lore Document. This will give you a chance to learn more about the world and the game before we begin releasing additional playtest materials.
Future playtest documents will include areas, subclasses, stat blocks, and more. Please do not publicly distribute these playtest documents. We’ll be doing our best to keep these files secure, but if we find out the files are being leaked, it means we’ll have to take extra precautions, which hurts everyone. We really want to trust that folks will be responsible with these materials.
With that, go ahead and fill out your surveys, join the playtest server, and expect another update within the next week!
Thank you again for your support,
Brett

Project Update: Keld Fallen Backerkit Surveys coming SOON!
Hey all!
Appreciate your patience here. I’ve been out of town for most of June, but I’ve also been working on getting the surveys and pre-order store fully functional.
Right now, we’re waiting on BackerKit’s approval to make sure everything is good to go. Once the surveys are approved, we’ll make sure the digital downloads that are already finished from previous projects are made immediately available to anyone who picked up the WSD: Fishing and Fiendish Forge digital items.
In the meantime, we’re already hard at work getting art assets together and moving our written content into the digital book itself. We’ll also be releasing playtest packets soon after the surveys go live, and the Keld Fallen Playtest Discord is already open.
Thank you again for your patience and support!

Howdy folks!
We've successfully raised $97k for Keld Fallen!
Thank you so much for your support!! I knew this was going to be an uphill battle as supplement books are more popular, and we were competing with a lot of enormous projects this month - so this number has gone beyond my expectations. Thank you again for your support!
