Ahoy mateys!
The headline be true as the north star—Land of Eem has officially set sail! The games have left the manufacturer’s docks and are en route to their respective ports around the world. After overcoming delays at every turn, the journey has begun and we couldn’t be more excited!
The shipment is scheduled to arrive at the US Port in the first week of December. From there, it can take a week or so to clear customs and another week to deliver to the Exalted Funeral warehouse!
As for the EU and UK shipments, we’re expecting those in their respective warehouses in the third week of December!
If all goes well, we just might be fulfilling orders in the last two weeks of December.
We’re grateful for your patience and support as we navigated these choppy waters together! It has been a giant undertaking, one that we couldn’t have ever endeavored to accomplish without your support.
Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to fulfilling your orders. Until then, prepare your adventuring parties and keep your spirits high—Land of Eem ho!
With gratitude and grog,
The Land of Eem Crew
October Shipping Update, Addresses Locking, Final Product Pictures!
about 1 month ago
– Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 12:27:41 PM
Greetings, adventurers! We’ve got an update for you, and while it’s not exactly the news we were hoping for, we’re still excited about what’s on the horizon!
Shipping Timeline
Unfortunately, we won’t hit our target of receiving the Land of Eem shipment by the end of October. Due to multiple production delays, the printer now estimates that the games will be on a boat by mid to late October. Once they set sail, it typically takes 6 to 8 weeks for ocean freight to make its way through shipping and customs. If all goes smoothly (fingers crossed!), the shipment should be in Exalted Funeral’s warehouses by early December.
As soon as we have confirmation from the manufacturer that the shipment is on it's way we will post an update with an anticipated start date for fulfillment.
Addresses Locking in Pledge Manager Next Week
In anticipation of orders shipping soon,
we will be locking addresses next week on Friday October 18th. You can make necessary address changes or updates in BackerKit from now until then. On Wednesday, October 16th, you will receive a 48-hour alert email from BackerKit, which means you've only got two days left to make changes yourself before the addresses lock.
You can access your survey by logging into your BackerKit Pledge Manager
here.
After addresses lock, it's possible to make last-second changes by emailing us at
[email protected], but that window is only open briefly. To be sure your stuff goes to the right place, your best bet is to make any necessary changes before next Friday.
Pictures of Final Products
Now for the good news—we’re hopeful that this means we’ll start fulfilling your orders in December, just in time for the holidays! We’ll keep you posted with more updates once everything is officially on the boat and as we get more concrete info.
We know this has taken longer than anyone expected, and trust us, we’re just as eager as you are to have the books in hand. Your patience and support mean the world to us, and we’re almost there. We’re so close, we can practically smell the fresh ink on those pages!
Speaking of fresh ink, take a look at Ben and James signing the bookplates and the final product prototypes of all the books and components.
We’ll be back with more news soon—thank you so much for sticking with us!

We’ve got News! Production Timeline Update for Land of Eem TTRPG!
4 months ago
– Wed, Jul 17, 2024 at 02:07:11 PM
We are thrilled to share some long-awaited news about our production timeline…finally! Your patience and unwavering support have driven us forward, and we couldn't be more grateful for your patience.
Land of Eem Delivery Timelines are Firming Up!
We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes and have some exciting updates to share.
First, the BIG NEWS! We've been communicating with the printer, and we're targeting delivery to the Exalted Funeral Warehouses at the end of October. The printer is confident this is achievable, although they've cautioned that freight times can vary, so we can’t make any promises on this. But we’ll be keeping an eye on this as we get firmer delivery timelines..
Also, in the spirit of transparency and keeping everyone in the loop, we had a couple issues crop up with the slipcase and GM screen that needed to be ironed out. So we've requested additional factory photos of the production's progress. We don’t have them yet, but we’ll post them the moment they come in!
And speaking of pictures…
Rickety Stitch Returns from the Dead (...again)!
We’ve just approved these shiny proofs of the NEW Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo EXALTED EDITIONS! Many of you ordered our graphic novel series as part of the Land of Eem Campaign. And now we're thrilled to say Exalted Funeral will be the publisher of Rickety Stitch moving forward!
This shiny, new edition of Rickety Stitch is also being bundled into a gloriously Exalted Edition Box Set with a beautiful slipcase containing the entire trilogy. We’re stoked about this because the series fell out of print for a hot minute after we successfully got the rights back from Knopf / Random House. It also gave us a chance to update something that’s been bothering Ben for a while…the character of Epoli’s face was a little off model in Book 1, but now it’s fixed!
As many of you might know, Exalted Funeral is taking prices to the mat during their giant Exalted Funeral Mania Sale. And so, to celebrate our favorite skeleton bard’s amazing return, we’re adding
Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo, Book 1: The Road to Epoli PDF to the Exalted Funeral FREE RPG Bundle for Charity.
Cream of the Crop Dungeoneer Adventures Discount, OH YEAH!
Thank you again for your incredible support and patience. We’re on this journey together, and we can’t wait to get the Land of Eem into your hands. We promise to update you with more firm details as they come in and let everyone know of any changes or hiccups.
Until next time!
Your Pals,
The Land of Eem Team

The Mucklands Explorer’s Guide
This is a stripped-down version of the sandbox that acts as a kind of gazetteer for players. Full of locations, rumors, and NPCs, but all the secrets and mysteries are omitted for the GM to keep in their back pocket. Armed with the Explorer’s Guide, players will have ample tools to drive the action of your campaign.
The Mucklands Adventure Module Collection
All of the Mucklands adventure modules are anthologized in one book! We’ve already released 5 of the stretch goal adventures, and now the last one (Stormy Weather Friends by Rae Nedjadi) is included in the final collection.
Each adventure has character Level recommendations and is categorized by three different tones, so you have a sense of what to expect: Hijinks (think The Muppets or Labyrinth), Derring-Do (think The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit), Doom & Gloom (think Conan the Barbarian or Mad Max).
The Mucklands Adventure Module Collection contains:
-
Temple of the Sarpathi by Land of Eem creators Ben Costa and James Parks. Plus both adventures from the Core Rulebook and Quickstart Guide: Wally’s Waffles and Rats! and Curse of the Chicken-Foot Witch.

Following the events of Book 2, Coop and the Green team face off against their greatest challenges while searching for the mythical wishing stone!

Prototype Pictures and Two New Adventures!

Well met, Adventurers of Eem!
We’ve got a big update for you today. Not only are two new adventures ready to go, we’ve also got pictures of the physical prototypes to share!
DOWNLOADS!
To get the new downloads, go to your BackerKit survey, and they are under the "Get Your Digital Downloads" button. Here is a link that should take you to your survey
https://land-of-eem.backerkit.com/ . You also should have received an email with a link.
Two Slithery, Scaly Adventures
If there’s a major, unifying conflict in the Mucklands sandbox, it’s the rise of the sarpathi snake cult. Numerous quests are centered around this mysterious threat, and most of them are Doom & Gloom—darker and more perilous than your average, wacky escapade. The two adventures ready for download today definitely fall into that category.
Temple of the Sarpathi
Funny story, this is actually the first adventure that we ever wrote for Land of Eem when we released the Beta rules. But we realized that it probably wasn’t the best example of the game’s overall whimsical tone, so we instead released Curse of the Chicken-Foot Witch (which is now in the Quickstart Guide). What you’ll have now is an updated version of Temple of the Sarpathi, and it’s a great way to introduce your group to the sarpathi conflict.
Eye of the Serpent God
Written by Luke Gearing (Wolves Upon the Coast, Acid Death Fantasy), this is a 30+ room dungeon crawl filled with danger and deadly adversaries. Definitely not suitable for your average boggart fresh out of Dungeoneer Academy! The adventure serves as a perfect funnel into the final conflict of the sarpathi.
Prototype Pictures!
We’re super excited to share the physical prototypes that we just received in the mail. Overall, everything looks absolutely gorgeous. And we’re making sure everything looks exactly the way we want it to.
Thanks so much for your continued patience and support as things really start coming together with printing in the next month.
–The Land of Eem Team!
