Wildendrem Volume Two: The Saintly Hollows

February Update
18 days ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 10:56:10 AM

Last week we finished distributing PDFs of The Valley of Flowers and Dethroners to those who backed for them or chose them as add-ons. If your pledge included either of those books, you should have received a link from DriveThruRPG. If you haven’t, please message us directly, thanks!

(Edited to add: Please note that the PDFs for The Wildendrem Codex and The Saintly Hollows have not been distributed. Those books are still very much in progress—see below!)

Codex Progress

We’ve been focusing most of our attention on completing The Wildendrem Codex, and it’s coming along nicely.

The character backgrounds are fully drafted. Some need more testing and editing, but in the meantime Amanda Lee Franck has inked illustrations for all twenty, and she’ll be coloring them soon.

Here are black and white versions of two of the backgrounds: the Unsavory Sort and the Wandering Scholar.

We’re deep into the generative tables now, with about half of them drafted. The introductory adventure, The Moaning Midden of Cudwick, is edited and layout is underway, with maps and more art also in the works.

Our hope remains to get the PDFs of the Codex out to everyone a month or two early, and so far we’re on track to do so. Of course we haven’t been completely ignoring The Saintly Hollows itself—but more on that in a future update.

Thanks as always for your support!

Backerkit Surveys Incoming
about 2 months ago – Thu, Jan 15, 2026 at 04:48:16 PM

After working out a few kinks, we've begun the process of sending out surveys via Backerkit. Right now we're in the midst of the "smoke test," which dispatches surveys to 5% of our backers, just to make sure everything's running smoothly. If all goes well (so far so good!), we'll send out the rest tomorrow.

So please keep your eyes out for those surveys. Once we have your email addresses collected via Backerkit, we can start distributing PDFs of existing publications (The Valley of Flowers, Dethroners, Psychographia, etc.) to those who backed for them or selected them as add-ons.

And if you run into any problems, please let us know!

A Peek into the Scrying Bowl

We’ve been hard at work on all things Wildendrem, and today we’re writing with an update on our planned schedule for the weeks ahead. We may need to make adjustments as we go, but we want to answer the most common questions we’ve received so far.

Pledge Manager & PDFs

We’ll be using Backerkit for our pledge manager. We want to get already completed digital rewards (including PDFs of The Valley of Flowers) to backers as soon as possible, and that means collecting info through the pledge manager. PDFs will be distributed through DriveThruRPG when possible (everything except some third party add-ons).

We plan to have surveys ready in the next two weeks. We’ll update again when those are about to go out.

The Wildendrem Codex

We’re focusing most our work on this book right now, as it’s the nearest to completion. If all goes as planned, we’ll distribute PDFs of the Codex to all backers in March. Print copies will ship with the other physical rewards.

Going Forward

You can expect progress updates from us about once per month, and of course we’ll keep you apprised of any major developments. Thank you again for being part of this—we’re really excited about what we’ve been cooking up, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Thank you—and now onward!

It's been an amazing campaign, and we're grateful to all of you for being part of it. With over 1000 backers (!) and every stretch goal unlocked, we'll be able to create the best possible versions of these books.

In the weeks ahead, we'll be in touch about the pledge manager, timelines, etc. But for the moment we just want to express our gratitude for your support. Sincerely, THANK YOU for making this possible.

Here's another project we're excited about: Loin du feu is a fantasy grimoire using the Fate system to explore the rugged paths of a dark, magical France. It's a project made entirely by women, and the art and design look absolutely gorgeous. Check it out!
