Project Update: Fiendish Forge ver 1.01 + Digital Maps – Now Available!
Howdy folks!
Quick update for all of our Fiendish Forge backers:
Quick update for all of our Fiendish Forge backers:
- Fiendish Forge ver 1.01 is now LIVE!
- Digital Maps have also been released!
Fiendish Forge ver 1.01 - Fixes & Updates
Here’s what’s been cleaned up:
- Infernal Lance now correctly deals Fire damage (instead of Piercing)
- Table of Contents dead links have been fixed
- Appendix now lists the correct page number
- Dae Grimore (Madam Hush’s quest) is now a proper item with properties
- Rat King’s Filth Spread now correctly lists Poison damage
- Orb Launcher now includes its range
- General language cleanup across the book
Ver 1.02 – In Progress
We’re already working on the next update!
Some of you noticed issues with the Appendix links - after digging in, it looks like the exporter isn’t handling page links correctly in some cases. This will take a bit more time to fully resolve, but the goal is to improve browser compatibility across the board.
As always, we highly recommend using a dedicated PDF reader (like Adobe) for the best experience.

Project Update: Fiendish Forge is COMPLETE!
Hello everyone, I come with exciting news:
Fiendish Forge is COMPLETE!
Our final count of everything:
- 352 pages
- 95 Stat Blocks
- 270 Materials
- 334 Magic Items
Our plan is to spend this week cleaning up the PDF so that it's ready for release. As long as there aren't any catastrophic fixes, our plan is to have the Digital PDF in the hands of our backers/pre-order customers by March 24, 2026.
From there, we'll be preparing Fiendish Forge for physical manufacturing, distribute to our Backers/Pre-Orders - and then publicly releasing it for purchase to everyone else.
If you'd like Early Access to the Digital PDF before Fiendish Forge is released publicly for sale, be sure to pre-order here: http://www.fiendishforge.com/
This has been an AWESOME project - and I'm so excited for you all to see this for yourself.
I think you'll be thrilled with the book. From the bottom of my heart, thank you again for your support! -

Fiendish Forge Review
Currently, we have 248 pages reviewed. We've got about 13 more creatures we are still going through our thoroughly reviewed process. During this process, we're cleaning up, making sure our numbers and math are right, and commissioning more art if we see any empty spots in the book that could use more art.
Keld Fallen Backerkit!
Our latest Backerkit Teaser page is up for you to sign up! It's our first ever adventure module in the World of IO/IOverse campaign setting - and we're super excited to get this going - it's been a long time in the making! If you like what we do, please consider signing up so you can support us when we go live!
