Hey everyone, I will be sending you a link via KS message to get the updated PDF with the bookmarks and thumbs. This is my first time doing this and really did not about the feature. This changes a lot about how we release PDF in the future! Thank you for being such awesome backers and letting us know that we can make things better for you. The feedback from you all makes everything we do so much better and that comes in good, bad, or ugly!
I hope you are all enjoying the content so far and let us know how you have begun using the content if you have!
From the Wilds - This bad boy is almost done, and I am learning a ton with graphic design and making it easier on myself. This book is going to be very awesome and really help make the three books that focus on the world-building aspect, tie very well together with the more mechanical portions.
In case you did not know, I am a disabled veteran and spent 12 years in the US Army Infantry. I have spent a lot of time in the wilderness and regions around the world. So, this was such a fun book to create, and I really think you all will enjoy the realism of it. I really tried to make sure I hit on every aspect that an adventurer might find themselves in.
Print & Play PDF's - These are uploaded via backerkit, and you should have access to them in this way. They are much higher quality, and I even developed a macro to format text and content automatically from a word document to a graphic design program. So, once I had all that accomplished, it was really just a matter of building the PDF. This whole process with both the book and the print and plays has made me realize how important it is to keep learning and growing with software and hardware. One thing I also learned is the importance of proper naming files in order from the start, I cannot tell you how many times I renamed files to make it fit the programs.
Do not forget The Mineralogy Manual that is live now! The success of this project has been truly amazing and we funded the project in 20 hours! So we are already unlocking stretch goals! This project is huge 400+ pages, we brought in a group of writers, cartographers, and artists that all need the work currently due to the obvious world issues.
I do not think I will need to update again until the test print comes in or the book order has been placed! So enjoy the silence but know we are working on things in the background!
Test Prints Ordered for Decks and Book

Hello everyone,
We have officially ordered the Consumable decks and the hardback book! So, that is pretty exciting, it took a bit to make the printing company that we wanted the art to stretch to the edges of the pages. They kicked it back like 5 times saying the art was in the cut margins and I am like "YES I KNOW IT IS!" Anyways, all the text is well within the margins for printing and the decks were even easier to get the test prints! They should be within 2 weeks or less and then we can order the rest of the large order and begin the shipping!
As most of you know we have launched the final book in our environmental line!
The Mineralogy Manual is a world-building guide to provide Dungeon Masters and Players with the tools to craft their worlds from the ground up (quite literally). The focus of this book by Deep Dungeon Games is the ground on which we stand - the earth itself and all the wonders it contains.
The Mineralogy Manual has been designed to be extremely easy to learn and use for any tabletop role-playing game, or the foundation for any type of fiction. It can be a fun addition to your long-running game or the start of a brand new short adventure. The book will come alive in your mind's eye through its beautiful and professional illustrations.
The Mineralogy Manual also includes a set of five complete adventures (using the 5th Edition ruleset), designed from the ground up to showcase the different aspects of the mineral and elemental resources showcased in the book. This provides an excellent introduction to many different systems and can act as the perfect starting point for a whole earthen or Dwarven campaign. These adventures are ready to run as soon as you get the book, including everything you’ll need to craft your versions of named metal swords, armor, and other earthen devices.
So, please come check it out and support a small company during these interesting times we are in!
Also, we are bringing followers and backers tons of playtesting and free content!
Check it our here!
I Will update soon on the quality of the test prints and card decks!

Hey everyone, the PDF is officially out to everyone.
I have made it clickable and it is also selectable. So, I hope that makes everyone happy, and really it is a very pdf book.
Also, we are officially print ready! That means we have a highly detailed version ready to upload on Monday for the test print, and then we are onto ordering! THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!
Let us know if you are happy with the new version of the pdf and I hope you all know that we appreciate all of you. We hope you love the pdf and the book once it hits the printer!
Also please come follow the pre-launch page for The Mineralogy Manual
We would love for you to come to support this project and if you love this book, then you will love this book as well. This is the last book in our environmental series of RPG supplements and your support will help us get through these crazy times.
The Minerology Manual book is filled to the brim with content and includes sections like fantasy elements, minerals, ores, mines, mining companies, and even a fully developed dwarven language. The Book can be bought as either a Digital or a Physical copy, with some tiers getting both a digital and a physical copy.
Enjoy the PDF and I will update soon with information about the printing order.

PDF Update

Hello everyone,
So, again I want to say thank you for everyone that contributed to the content by providing feedback and corrections. I am not sure how a lot of other companies complete this process, but honestly, I LOVE INCLUDING ALL OF YOU! It makes the book feel more complete when I get feedback and such, and when I hear back from all of you I get a very happy smile.
We paid to have someone go over the entirety of the content and hopefully between you wonderful backers, the editor, and myself, we have caught all the flaws. The only thing that remains is for the final export of the 180 pages into one pdf, conversion into a good printing format, and double-checking that acrobat makes the conversion properly.
For printing, we then have to do a similar process for the book cover then place the order! So we are very close to ordering the large print run and to start shipping.
For those who were curious about the Mineralogy Manual
Check out the KS video
Weavers Writings on the Wilds (AKA - From the Wilds) - Progress on this is going quite fine and for those who supported this supplement should have the first looks at the PDF in the next month or so.
Hopefully, tomorrow we will have a new PDF for everyone. The linking will hopefully be easy to do, I have done some research on this and it seems rather straight forward. I will update again tomorrow or as soon as we have the PDF where we want it! Thank you all again for being so amazing and helpful to a small gaming company like us.
Regards

Finalizing PDF
about 4 years ago

Hey everyone,
First off I would like to say thank you all for your patience thus far. The project has gone rather smoothly with only a few minor hiccups here and there. I know a lot of you love the content thus far even in the low resolution that it is in.
We would ask that if anyone or anybody that is skimming through the content and looking for bugs to have them to us by 4 - 28 - 2020. That way we can (if all goes well) have the final PDF done by the following day. Then I can order a test print of the book and then begin shipping!!!! That is truly exciting!!!!
Everyone, I am really happy with how this book came out and I hope everyone will be able to add a lot of flavor to their homebrew worlds, books, and content. The potential for really making a world POP starts with Harold the Halflings Herbology Handbook, Niwri's Marvelous Menagerie of the multiverse, and the Mineralogy Manual which releases soon. These three books cover the basics of what can exist!
We always strive to remain diligent and answer everyone's questions, I think we are very responsive to comments, questions, and messages. We are rather small and I still think we do a much better job in being responsive to everyone than the majority of companies out there.
I hope everyone is being safe, and hopefully soon this stuff will calm down to allow us to get back to conventions and other work. Until then we are already working on the next book as stated. The next book will be a massive tome of 400+ pages so stay tuned for that!
If you have any questions, please message us, email us, or comment! We will get to you asap! Please, everyone, be safe and sound! I hope everyone got to take a gander at the storytelling card game as well!
Regards
Deep Dungeon Games
