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!

3 months ago – Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 03:57:29 PM

Another big update! PDFs of the Dungeoneer Adventures Beginners RPG are here and READY for you to check out!

All of the writing and layout is in place (minus a few art pieces), and everything is fully playable. But, it’s not completely finished. Just like with The Underlands, we’re calling on you to help us proofread!  Speaking of the Underlands, we're also sharing the Underlands hex map!

The Files

  • The Dungeoneer Adventures Rulebook
  • The Dungeoneer Academy Sandbox
  • The Adversary Cards
  • The Item Cards
  • 4 Dungeoneer Adventures Maps
  • The Underlands Hex Map

You should have received an email with a link, so check your BackerKit Pledge Manager survey where you can download the files. 

  • You can also access your survey here
  • Go to this project and click on the blue "Get Your Digital Downloads" button. 

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!

New Free Holiday Adventure on Patreon
6 months ago – Tue, Dec 23, 2025 at 03:51:29 PM

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!
