Is there a master list of which collab projects provide which rooms? Some of the other projects mention them, some don't. Of those that do mention them, some give explicit room numbers, some don't. From what I can see: Room 1-5 - The Carnivorous Cauldron Room 1-9 - 101 Dungeon Encounters Room 1-12 - Castle Whiterock an Illustrated Journey Room 1-14 - Tyche's Pouch

I noticed that a few people were questioning what all is part of the campaign. There is a Whiterock tab that shows all of them. Posting the link here for ease of reference: https://www.backerkit.com/c/collections/castle-whiterock/projects#nav

In Harp, you’ll have access to a wide range of music compositions, organized into themed albums. Each one helps you craft the perfect atmosphere for your sessions. All of our albums will contain hours of music, thanks to controlled randomness and the ability to change the emotional nuance of the album based on the needs of the story. We plan to have albums for very different types of stories. Which one intrigues you the most? Pick your style below.

Project Update: Books books books! March Update

Greetings Delvers!

Just a short update today to let you know that the books are printed! It's all happening! So I'm get to show off some pretty pictures to share some of the excitement.

Last week we received the advanced copies from the printers. These are essentially the very first books hot off the printing press which are sent out to us to approve. As always, our printer has done some amazing work and we're over beneath the moon with excitement.

The Hive and Echo editions of the Heart corebook came out fantastic as always. Just look at that gorgeous linen! The lux foil finish! The colour matched ribbons! Still photographs hardly do them justice, so you'll have to take my word that they shine bright enough delve by.



Not to be upstaged, Ways and Means also arrived in top shape. It took a lot of double and triple checking to make sure all the funky gimmicks worked in this beautiful odd-duck of a book, but the results are worth it. Let's run down the list:

Inverted front and back cover, plus spine treatment, so the book can be shelved in any orientation? ✅

Inverted content on the GM side? ✅

Twin colour matched ribbons bound on the head and tail bands? ✅


Secret messages that can only be revealed by viewing the book in certain ways? ✅

Ah you know what, we'll leave those as easter eggs for folk to find once the books are in your hands.

Now the books are printed, we enter the logistics dance of moving pallets around the globe. So next time you hear from us we'll have a shipping update for everyone dying to get your grubby hands on these gorgeous books.

Until next time,

- Elaine & The RRD Team

Project Update: Update #7: Adventure Design & New Illustrations

Hey Loonatics,
We’re entering a really exciting phase of Toon Morgue, the book is being more actively designed.

Full Page Design Underway

I’m now fully working on the book’s page design, laying everything out section by section: text, tables, illustrations, and layout finally merging into something tangible.

There are only a few illustrations left to be completed, and once those are in, we’ll be very close to locking in the full visual identity of the book.

At the same time, a dedicated designer is actively working on the one-shot adventure included in the book, ensuring it has its own strong layout and readability while still fitting seamlessly into the overall style.

Mr. Droolinger’s Office:
We now have a finished illustration of Mr. Droolinger’s office, featured in the one-shot.



Weapons Overview Illustration
We’ve also completed a new overview illustration featuring 9 of the weapons that will appear in the book. On one side, the most rudimentary ones and on the other... well where things start getting proper bloodied and silly.


Huge thanks to JCaluger for the incredible work so far, these pieces are bringing Toon Morgue to life in exactly the way I imagined.
More soon.

Project Update: VHS Update - Fulfillment Over - Our work here is done

TL;DR: The Tower has toppled, over to you. Details below for how to contact RRD, join the community or follow up on post-campaign pledges/issues.

–
Our work here is done
That’s it. The project portion of this is all done, the game is out in the world and we’re very happy to see people playing it. It’s in your hands now: Voidheart Symphony is yours to do with as you will. Obviously we hope that means playing it, telling people about it, and then maybe playing it more, with even more people, but even if it just sits on your shelves, we’re happy if you’re happy. And we hope it makes you and your gaming groups very happy - and we’d love to hear about your experiences. 

Everyone here in the RRD swamp is pleased. And relieved. And a bit tired. We’re going to bask in the glow of the holographic foil logo for a bit and admire our handiwork. Well, most of us - Customer Service Jim and Logistics Alex remain on call to deal with any issues, and Mina’s already moved on to writing a whole new game. Speaking of which, if you haven’t seen our Children of Time announcement, have a peek.

Main fulfilment finished
All Backers who have filled in their surveys and paid for their shipping should have their packages already. If you haven’t received your delivery please contact us and we can work out what has occurred ([email protected]).

Feedback & Community
If you’ve already had a chance to check out your delivery (perhaps even read through and share with your tables) why not head over to our website pre-orders page and leave a product review that might encourage more people to try the game? Or join our Discord server and chat to other backers about it? 
If you social your media, you can always tag us on Instagram, Bluesky or Facebook to let us know what you’re doing with your games, we’re @rowanrookanddecard most places. Or you can still comment here on the project - we always monitor our old projects.

Consolidating Digital Files
We’ve also made all the previously shared digital rewards from the campaign available on our website, as well as in your BackerKit. If you want to add these resources to your RRD webstore downloads you can send your Backer ID number and your RRD webstore account email to Jim in the Customer Service mines ([email protected]) and he’ll sort out linking those across for you. 

Stragglers sift
Our fulfilment project has now ended. In a few days we will go through and collect any Backers who have finalised their surveys, have orders and addresses locked or had Card payments declined since we processed our main fulfilment in each region. We call this our stragglers sift, and it’s our opportunity to pick up any things that may have slipped through the cracks, as well as giving the small number of backers that we haven’t heard from since the campaign ended one last gentle poke [*poke*
Anyone picked up in this process will be fulfilled before the 3rd April 2026.
 
Closing the Campaign
From 3rd April 2026, the BackerKit project will be closed. This means that you are no longer able to fill out surveys or amend orders without contacting RRD directly. 
If you find yourself in this situation please email us ([email protected]) and let us know your Backer email or number.

Once the campaign has closed we cannot guarantee the availability of all the items that may have been attached to your original Pledge. Some items are made uniquely for the crowdfunder, and are often in limited supply to begin with. Post-campaign stocks are time-limited and we’re unable to hold stores of items ‘just in case’; from a core book to a unique pin, it will go out of stock in time. We will always try to fulfil as much of your original pledge as possible.

Thanks enormously for all your support, folks 

xoxo
– Everyone at RR&D
