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.
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!

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!

Survey Clarification and Preview Pages!

Greetings Heroes of Eem!
We’re back with a new update to cover some housekeeping as well as show some progress on the books! We’ve been toiling away in our wizard towers on everything Eem and have been champing at the bit to share some progress. But first, the aforementioned housekeeping...
Meeples Clarification
All physical reward tiers will get one pack of Dungeoneer Adventures Meeples because they were unlocked as a stretch goal. If you don’t see a line item for the Dungeoneer Adventures Meeples in your order, don’t worry. The meeples will be included inside every physical Dungeoneer Adventures Beginners RPG Box Set. If you backed another physical tier for the Underlands Sandbox, the meeples will appear as a line item in your order, and it will be packaged separately.
Didn’t grab a physical reward tier? You can still add a meeple set as an add-on, no problem!
Survey Gremlins
There were some unexpected errors when the surveys were sent out that we would also like to clarify. The Adventures in the Mucklands PDF and The Mucklands Random Encounters PDFs were accidentally listed in everyone’s rewards, but this has since been corrected. The digital files were sent out in error, but that has been fixed, and all mistakenly distributed files have been removed from backers' downloads. We apologize for any confusion–there were some gremlins in the system! You will now see listed the Adventures in the Underlands PDF and The Underlands Random Encounters PDF (both of which are not complete yet).
Land of Eem Album
You may have also briefly seen the Land of Eem Dungeon Synth digital album listed in your rewards, but that was not a reached stretch goal. However, it is available as an add-on! You can now check out a fantastic sample from Lamerak, one of the the talented artists working on the project. The music is fun and inspiring, and we’re excited for more!
DriveThruRPG
For those who got the core Land of Eem game PDFs, we'll also be sending those out via drivethrurpg.com in the next few days, so keep an eye out for that if you use that platform.
Layout Progress
The Dungeoneer Adventures Beginners RPG and The Underlands Sandbox are deep in layout, and we’ve made great progress. New art is underway, and we’ve also gone through the book and added a bunch more quests and NPCs to even out the layout. These are going to be beautiful books!
Preview Pages
Feast your eyes on these brand-new spreads from The Underlands Sandbox, and the Dungeoneer Adventures Beginners RPG books.

Next Steps
We’ll be taking the rest of 2025 to finish the remaining art and layout of the new books! That means PDFs for the Dungeoneer Adventures Beginners Game and The Underlands Sandbox Setting should be on the horizon in early 2026 if all goes according to plan. And when you get your hands on them, we’ll definitely be calling on your support to pore through the books and terminate all the typos you can!
Thanks again for all your support, and apologies for any confusion from the back end. It's all cleared up, and we’re full steam ahead with finalizing the layout and making some great additions to the books.
