Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that the animal artwork is complete and the editor is in full swing on the project now! So things are going great!
Here are some of my favorites from the arthropod section!
We will have a preview very soon for the first dungeon and soon after the other dungeons as well! We hope this will provide you some playable content slowly as we progress through the content!
The book is expected to contain a whopping 400to450pages. The exact number will depend on how many of the stretch goals are met since each will add significant text and imagery to the book. You really will get your money's worth! The Mineralogy Manual is filled to the brim, including sections on fantasy elements, minerals, ores, mines, mining companies, and even a fully developed Dwarven language.
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.
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.
Our next update will include the links to the playtesting content!

Hey everyone, the editor is hard at work grinding through the first dungeon of this project and we hope to have that completed very soon. Until then we have uploaded a ton of content for playtesting at your leisure. You will find some content that is included in this book, content for future projects, and other just amazing stuff!
The majority of you do not know me but I LOVE DWARVES!!!!!!!! I always have and always will... its a bit of a LOTR thing with how Gimli and Legolas had their shenanigans. Yet, even in other books, movies, and writings; I was always drawn to the dwarf-like characters. This book is chock-full of content so useful to anyone running a dwarf campaign, character, or for world-building the dwarven culture!

Hello everyone, I wanted to give everyone a bit of a better update on the progress so far.
Theanimal art is almost complete and only lacks around 20 pieces from being complete in that area.
The dungeons are almost complete as well in both writing and in the art, we are finishing up playtesting, updates, and tweaksnow.
All animal writing is complete and ready to begin editing. The editor has begun going through the content and we should start seeing a lot of progress very soon!
The Temple of the Monkey is my first dungeon to write for one of the books, and so the content is a bit raw at the moment. I would love to get some feedback on the content and the link below you can download it.
PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS BEFORE EDITING AND FINAL EDITING - So, please feel free to message me on kickstarter for any notes or changes you think would make it better!
Other than that everyone, things are going smoothly and full editing will begin soon. We have a preview for you all as well. You can following the link and get notified on the launch of our next project. The Mineralogy Manual is the final book to complete the environmental areas we have been covering. So, let us know what you think and it will be our biggest project thus far!

Progress update and a free game from us!

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is safe and sound! This is a bit of a progress update on the project and I wanted to give everyone a gift from Deep Dungeon Games.
The editing will most likely begin this week, so we should start seeing example pages very soon! That is so very exciting! The art is going well and the artist only has the mammals and arthropods left to complete. So, things are going smoothly on that front, and as soon as I can I will start showing off the progress of the content on the actual pages.
We created this game a couple of years ago and never really got to a point to where it was in a format that I could provide it to people. Well, naturally I have a bit more time on my hands and like some of you, I have kids. This game combines storytelling, fantasy, and a small bit of strategy into this fun game and my son was 7 when he first played the game. So enjoy the game, print and play cards, and please let me know what you think!
