Land of Eem

Surprised Skeletons! Backers! Gasping Gnomes!

Great magical burritos, that was quick! We’ve unlocked the 230k milestone, The Loyal Chum meeple! Soon they will be placed in the physical box sets and await grand adventures across the Land of Eem with their other meeple friends. 

With the loyal chum unlocked It feels like the set of meeples is nearly complete. Could that be because we only have one left? Indeed, friend. But first, we have another milestone to unlock. Is it possible that we could dive into the darkness with Luke Gearing in another adventure? Luke is a prolific master of the creepy TTRPG arts and will bring to life our very first Doom and Gloom adventure PDF for this campaign, but only if we hit the next milestone at 240k.

What spooky and evil things await your table in Luke’s adventure? Well, let me give you a hint: dastardly serpents searching for a lost relic and an order of welkin guardians who stand in their way!

I can feel an evil laugh brewing in my chest, adventurer. Before I go off to cackle about my imaginary misdeeds, we want to thank you for your pledges in these final hours of the campaign. It fills us with joy to bring you this world and we simply cannot wait until you can play this game with your friends. As we said many times in these updates, we simply could not do that without you.

Until the next update, we’re off to go have an evil chuckle about some Eem-ish mayhem.

BIG NEWS! We are opening up the Bard Supreme Set Tier once again in the final hours of the campaign! If you missed your chance earlier to get the Bard Supreme Set or would now like to upgrade your pledge, the floodgates are now open!

The Bard Supreme Set includes the Land of Eem Box Set, plus all 3 of our Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo graphic novels, and the first book in our brand new series Dungeoneer Adventures. Each book will come with a signed bookplate by Ben and James!

This is the series where the Land of Eem got its start! Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo is about a walking, talking, singing skeleton bard. He’s the one skeleton in the dungeon who seems to have retained his soul, and he has no idea why.

 

Rickety's only clue to his former identity is a song that he hears snippets of in his dreams, an epic bard’s tale about the Road to Epoli and the Land of Eem. His sidekick and sole friend is the Gelatinous Goo, who Rickety alone can understand. Together they set out in search of Rickety’s past, with abundant humor and danger galore!

Dungeoneer Adventures is a highly illustrated fantasy middle-grade series about a boy named Coop Cooperson. Coop lives in the Land of Eem and attends Dungeoneer Academy, a school that trains future explorers and adventurers with classes like Dungeons and Mazes, Creatures and Critters, and Swords and Sorcery.

Coop believes in the academy’s mission and the Dungeoneer’s Code, but being the only human student can make it difficult to fit in—sometimes he wonders if he really belongs. Lucky for Coop, his best friend Oggie the bugbear has his back, as do the two other members of their exploring team, Daz the boggart and Mindy the imp. They have to rely on each other more than ever as the test for their Junior Dungeoneer Badges looms closer.

There are only a few hours left, so let's unlock as many stretch goals as we can! We can't thank you enough for your support!

Bashful Boggles! Backers! Shrewd Shrym!

We made it to the 220k milestone! This means we’ve unlocked the amazing derring-do adventure PDF from designer, writer, and streamer Kienna Shaw! As big fans of their work we cannot wait to see where the adventure, filled with romance and peril, takes us. I hear there might even be a dragon!

Alright, friends, we are down to the last few hours. The next milestone is a big one, at 230k we will unlock the fifth meeple, The Loyal Chum! This brave tiny Bogril has a backpack filled with dreams and they are ready to hike their way across your map of the Mucklands stalwartly beside all the rest of the meeples that will be in your physical box set.

Seriously though, we only have until tonight to push this over the mark, so share this campaign with all your friends and family so we can get even more of the stretch goals available.

Thanks for coming along with us this far.

See you in the next update!

Wonderful Whalens! Backers! Welcoming Wugs!

We just crossed the $210k threshold, and the Knight-Errant Meeple has been unlocked! Huzzah! For those of you who pledged to get the Box Set, this tiny, honorable goblin warrior will now grace your play surface. Isn’t that purple plume atop their head just majestic?

Onward to the next milestone, which just happens to unlock at $220k! An adventure PDF written by tabletop roleplaying game designer, writer, and streamer Kienna Shaw! Kienna has written for Candlekeep Mysteries, Sea of Legends, Jiangshi, Starforged, and tons of other cool stuff.

Their derring-do adventure is going to be packed to the brim with romance and peril, and maybe even a dragon? 

That just sounds amazing. Let’s make it a reality! Because, honestly, we can’t wait to run it in our own games. 

Alright, adventurers! We are nearing the end of the campaign. It has been a complete pleasure to go this far with all of you. But there’s more yet to accomplish! If you can, please share the project with your friends. And stay tuned for more updates. Things usually get spicy right at the end.

See you soon!

Glorious Goos! Backers! Humorous Humans!

Together we have achieved another milestone! At $200k we have unlocked a Derring-Do adventure PDF penned by the Studio Director of Supergiant Games, Amir Rao!

Amir is one of our best friends and also happens to be the co-founder of Supergiant Games, the makers of beloved video games such as Hades, Bastion, and Transistor. Yeah! That Supergiant Games! We couldn't be more excited to have him on board.

What does "Derring-Do" mean exactly? Well, Derring-Do adventures raise the stakes and require PCs to be heroic and brave formidable challenges in order to accomplish their goals. Set in the swampy region of the Quagmash, your heroes will be tasked with escorting the famed sludge metal band The Dredgelords on the first ever music tour through the swamp. A dangerous prospect indeed! The swamp is no place for the unprepared. 

The next milestone is at $210k and it will be the fourth meeple to be added to the Box Set: a very armored goblin Knight-Errant Meeple!

Wow. It's really coming down to the wire, isn't it? Only 3 more days left in the campaign! Thanks so much for taking this journey with us. We can’t wait to unlock the remaining 3 adventure PDFs, 3 meeples, gelatinous goo dice, and the GM screen! But we'll still need your help to make it happen. Please share the project with as many folks as you can! 

See you in the next update, adventurers!
