Hey everyone!
We have some news that we are still pinching ourselves over. Perhaps you've heard already, but Land of Eem just recently won Roleplaying Game of the Year at the 49th annual Origins Awards, one of the most respected honors in tabletop gaming.
You backed this world and believed in it, and when they read our name, we were thinking about you folks for sure. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for adventuring in the Land of Eem and sharing it with friends and family!
Land of Eem Soundscape Vol. 1 Is Here
More good news! The digital tracks for the Land of Eem Soundscape Vol. 1 are now officially released! If you purchased the soundtrack add-on, physical or digital, you'll find access to the files in BackerKit today! If you'd like to add it to your pledge please contact us at [email protected] and we can help you with that!
Featuring the awesome atmospheric synth music of Bubble Wizard and Lamerak, these tracks are perfect for setting the mood at your table. Some of the tracks really harken back to a Zelda and JRPG vibe, while others are darker and dungeon synth-y. Each track is themed to locations in the Mucklands and Underlands for a total of 21 tracks! Here’s the track list:
The Mucklands by Bubble Wizard
- Horns of Adventure (Intro)
- Jaunt Across the Drippy Downs
- The Marvels of Starwatch
- Fleabag County Rat Race
- Bogtown (Forbidden Melody)
- Witchbreath in the Quagmash
- Fireside at Camp Mudbank
- Meandering Through River Country
- The Nackadonkee Hamlets
- Sailing the Scalawag Strand
- Conch, City of Shells
- Used T’Be Forest (Ain’t What It Used T’Be)
- Welcome to Wally’s
The Underlands by Lamerak
- Under Mucklands by Torchlight
- Hijinks in New Delve City
- Mysteries of the Fungal Jungle
- Into the Darkshroom Tangle
- Reflections of the Shimmering Shar
- The Remnants of Gootonia
- The Unknowable Abyss
- The Fires of Volcanika (by Lamerak and Bubble Wizard)
Production Update
We’ve been going back and forth with the printer for a while now, which has taken much longer than anticipated! But we’re close to moving forward with prepress and assuring everything is ready for print. Between The Underlands and Dungeoneer Adventures, there are a lot of moving parts, so it's taking some extra time to get it all straight. But we’re close!
Thank you for being here and for making this possible. We cannot wait to put both of these games into your hands.
Here's to adventure!

Ahoy adventurers!
First off, a huge thank you to all who gave us proofreading feedback on the Underlands and Dungeoneer Adventures books. It was a tremendous help! After working with our talented proofreader, Ben Sumner, we finished proofreading the main books! Huzzah!
But today, we’ve also got a few more things to share with you: the GM Screen, the Dungeoneer Adventures character sheets, and the Underlands Book of Random Encounters! You will receive an email letting you know you have the files if you have any of these items in your pledge. Here is a link to access your survey as well!
Any proofreading feedback on these in the coming days would be greatly appreciated. The Random Encounters book, however, is not going to print any time soon, so feedback on that is open-ended.
As it stands now, we’re a little bit behind where we wanted to be in the pre-press process, but we factored in delays to the projected timeline and are working hard to stay on schedule!
Thanks again, everyone, for your support! We’ll be back in the coming weeks with more updates on pre-production.
Here’s to adventure!

To everyone who has left proofreading feedback already on our Discord—we can’t thank you enough! You’ve been a huge help in making The Underlands the best it can be. It’s a little short notice, but you’ll have until April 7th to proofread the Dungeoneer Adventures material and give us feedback on the Land of Eem Discord in the #proofreading-feedback channel!
After that, we’ll be implementing all the fixes and moving forward with prepress.
Onward, adventurers and thanks again!

Happy holidays!
It’s been a busy December, and we’ve made great progress on The Underlands Sandbox and the Dungeoneer Adventures RPG books. We’re super close to getting a PDF of The Underlands ready to share with you all for proofreading. While some art is still underway, all of the NPCs and maps are complete, and the text is nearly all laid out.
We’re also excited to announce a FREE Holiday Adventure Knaves in Toyland, now available on the official Land of Eem Patreon, accessible to all members, including free members of course! All you need to do is sign up for the free tier and you can download the adventure.
The adventure is set during the Land of Eem Holiday of Hearthlight–a cheery winter festival celebrated during the coldest months of the year. Except something is amiss
Anyway, it was tons of fun to create and it’s our way of saying thank you, and give something fun to run at the table as the year winds down. If you haven't joined the Patreon yet, this is the perfect time to hop in and grab the new seasonal adventure, it’s free!
Happy Holidays and see you next year!
The Eem Team
Thank You for Your Patience and Support
We’re incredibly grateful for this community. Your enthusiasm keeps us pushing forward to make these books the best they can be. We’re almost there and we can’t wait to put these worlds in your hands!
More updates soon and here’s to the holidays!
Happy Hearthlight Everyone!
Ben and James
