Knight-Errant Meeple UNLOCKED! Next up, an adventure by Kienna Shaw at 220k!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 10, 2022 at 08:39:50 AM

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!

Adventure by Amir Rao UNLOCKED!! Knight-Errant Meeple #4 up next at 210k!!
almost 2 years ago – Mon, Aug 08, 2022 at 06:04:54 PM

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!

190k Gnome Meeple UNLOCKED!! Up next, an amazing adventure from Amir Rao!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 03, 2022 at 11:52:30 PM

Daring Dungeoneers! Backers! Boasting Bards!

We’ve unlocked the next stretch goal! With this milestone, every box set will have a tiny magical Gnome Meeple! Behold their immaculate beard and amazing pointy hat!

That is three meeples down, with three more to go! Yay!

Up next at 200k, Amir Rao, the Studio Director of Supergiant Games, (behind video games like Hades, Bastion, and Transistor) will craft a Derring-Do adventure 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. This adventure will be available as a PDF for all pledge tiers.

Are you excited? We're excited. 

That’s it for now, friends. See you in the next update!

Questing Quortles! Backers! Ingenious Imps!

The 180k milestone has been achieved! Huzzah!

With this unlocked we will have another Hijinks Adventure PDF ready for you by Nebula award-winning writer Rae Nedjadi! Rae is a contributing writer to Thirsty Sword Lesbians and the designer of Cozy Town and Balikbayan, among other awesome games. While we can’t tell you everything Rae has in store for your heroes, expect a bunch of gnomes and some cozy hijinks happening.

Speaking of gnomes, the next goal unlocks at 190k and it is a tiny wooden Gnome Meeple!
This bearded tiny friend will be added to the Box Set for all backers of those tiers.

Thanks again for all your support, friends. We can’t wait for Land of Eem to land upon your gaming tables and bring laughter and fun to anyone you share it with.

We will see you in the next update!

Campaign Halfway Point!
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 27, 2022 at 05:50:33 PM

Friends of Eem,

The last two weeks have been an exciting blur for us. Your support, pledges, and comments have really meant the world to us. We can’t believe we’re about to type this but… We are already halfway through the Land of Eem Backerkit Crowdfunding Campaign!

So much time and effort has gone into bringing this game to life, and we aren’t done yet!

As of right now, we are less than $4,000 away from our next stretch goal, and there are many more delights we have planned for all backers, digital and physical alike.

If you have been waiting to see if you should upgrade your pledge, there is no time like right now. (Don't worry about loosing Day One exclusives as they are always tied to your email!) Every single pledge enriches the content we will be able to provide to everyone. Here is just a glimpse of what is up next:

  • An adventure written by Nebula award-winning writer, Rae Nedjadi filled with cozy gnomes and hilarious hijinks
  • A derring-do adventure written by Amir Rao of award-winning video game studio Supergiant Games
  • More adventures by Kienna Shaw, Luke Gearing, and JP Coovert!
  • For physical backers of the box set, we have 4 more wooden meeples for your gaming tables and blue “Gelatinous Goo” dice with little tiny skulls inside
  • And the highly requested GM Screen with art from John Loren


We really could not have brought this world to your table without your help. Thank you so much for your support. It fills us with joy even just to imagine you turning the pages and bringing Eem to life with your friends.

Humbly,

The Land of Eem Team
