Hello backers.

Greetings from Indianapolis! The whole Goodman Games team is either in Indy or on the way to Indy, as we prepare for the amazing event known as Gen Con.

If you're going to Indy, make sure to stop by our booths! Yes, plural. #109, #2519, and our event HQ at the Lucas Oil Stadium. We have so many amazing things to share - including a whole new wave of T-shirts and Yearbook #12.

Meanwhile, the art and graphics team continues to crank out amazing work for Dungeon Denizens 2 and the related books. Doug Kovacs, who just arrived a couple hours ago, took the time to scan a huge stack of paintings right before he left. This is work he's completed over the past couple months. For today's update, it's "all Doug" - here are a whole bunch of his monster illustrations that just landed in our in-box.

In the meantime, the graphics and editorial teams are polishing layouts. We've seen first-pass layouts on several of the titles in this project. We're going back and forth to fix the inevitable typos, drop in finished art, and so on.

Here's that promised "Doug art"...and see you all in Indy!

So now that you've seen all these awesome "Doug images" - Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!

Oh, and by the way: look for our banner at Gen Con - and see you in Indy!

Greetings Backers

Summer has finally arrived with a sizzle here in the Northeast US. I hope all are staying cool and enjoying some nice vacation time.

Both main monster books are deep into layout, and most of the supporting books are in various stages of layout. The next steps will be proofing the layout documents and then preparing the files to go to the printer. Two additional topics for this update: We are ready to announce the 14 lucky backers that had their submitted monsters selected for publication. And of course we have more new art to share!

We received scores of monster submissions from the backers for both versions of the rules. And it was difficult whittling the submissions down to the very best 14. The selection teams needed to decide between a host of animated constructs, weird aberrations and monstrous beasts. When the votes were tallied, we had our deadly dozen plus two! And don't worry: if a monster was accepted in DCC rules, it will be converted to 5E rules in-house. Same with 5E accepted monsters: these were converted to DCC rules in-house. So regardless of which rules version of the book you are getting, you get all 14 monsters!

Without further delay, here is the list:

Blooderfly by Heath Harris
