We attended both MCM Comic Con and UK Games Expo at the end of May, and thank you so much to all the backers who swung by to say hi!
We opened the pledge manager last month, and thank you to everyone who has completed it! The survey will be open until the Dungeoneerium is much closer to shipping, so there is no rush for those of you who are waiting to see the maps before you finalize your survey!
Speaking of the maps, Matt has happily returned to the design studio where he will remain until he has finished! I have seen some of the first drafts and you will not be disappointed, these are some great maps! They are taking a little longer than we expected to design, but this is due to the size! We will be able to share (nearly) final versions of all the map artwork before the end of June!
And we hope to have final files signed off before our next convention which is Gen Con! If you're attending swing by and say hi to our lovely US team who help Matt out with the booth.

And Finally, we are expanding our Designer's Deck range! The Town Designer's Deck and the Sewer Designer's Deck will join our award winning Dungeon Designer's Deck.
These are 5E encounter generators, which feature cards with a map terrain tile on the front and a related D6 roll table of 5E encounters on the reverse. The Sewer Designer's Deck allows you to use the cards to build a sewer tunnel map with the cards (or add them to the enclosed Boss Battle Maps), while the Town Designer's Deck allows you to add the features to the enclosed battle maps to generate Town Buildings and Areas.
We will also be creating Two new Essential RPG Battle Maps packs - Sewer and Town Streets, and a 5E quest deck - Town Notice Board.
We will be sending out the pledge manager survey this week.
This is where we collect shipping and taxes, and gather your address details. There are also optional purchases you can add to your order.
You can switch pledge level, on the page with the green "Get started" button there is a "switch your pledge level" link.
Please note the survey will remain open until we need to provide the details to our warehouses, which typically is about the time the maps leave our factory as we will need to know numbers for our shipping plans and for our warehouses to book the projects in.
So we will not be locking orders or charging cards for about 12 weeks, so you have plenty of time to complete your survey. We will send an update our before we do this so you can make any changes.
As always if you have any questions or queries please let us know!
Mega Dungeon Month went into overtime for several Days (this may be a record but I will have to check!). We have now finally finished and we are blown away by the support for this project!
This update is to let you know what will be happening now the campaign is over.
Over the next 2 weeks Backerkit will be charging your cards, and then the project will officially be handed across to us and the work begins :) If you have any issues with card payments Backerkit will be able to help resolve these (use the contact button on the Backerkit site).
You can expect the pledge manager to be sent out towards the end of May. This is where we will charge for shipping, taxes and any additional purchases you wish to make. We have curated a range of our favourite Dungeon related accessories which will be available at backer exclusive prices!
While this is going on Matt will be in the design studio drawing the maps!
The winning map themes are -
Dwarven Halls Dark Horror Multi Level Stairs & Platforms Prison Fortress Ruined
We will share the final designs with you as soon as they are ready!
And then we begin the work of printing and sea freight co-ordination, more on this to follow!
If you need any help with the project itself or survey please drop a comment here or you can email store @ lokeltd.co.uk.
Thank you all for coming on this adventure with us!
We are so excited to see The Dungeoneerium becoming a reality, and your feedback and thoughts on the maps has been amazing!
While we are hard at work getting these ideas down on paper (or screen at this stage), it seems a good time to talk about Mega Dungeon Month, which this campaign is part of.
We have joined with Goodman Games, Monte Cook Games, Kobold Press, Ghostfire Gaming, Rowan, Rook and Decard and Troll Lord Game to celebrate all things Dungeon!

Answers to your questions, new pledge levels and map design feedback
Thank you all for coming on this adventure with us!
We have had an amazing first weekend and we cannot wait to make the Dungeoneeirum a reality!
In this update we will be answering some of the questions we have been asked and highlighting what you need to know.
First up, map designs.
One question which has come up is the space. These are large maps, and we have been asked if the maps will consist of small rooms or larger open spaces.
The answer is both, on the designs we have finalised we have some amazing mazes and rooms, and we wanted to make sure it was clear that some of the maps will be huge, open spaces for those big base baddies and for 3D terrain etc.
So whether you want to crawl through tight corridors and rooms, or charge across an open expanse, there will be the map for you in this set!
We are running a poll to decide on the remaining map themes (attached to this update, please take the time to vote and help shape the Dungeoneerium with us).
As of today the map designs with the most votes are
Multi level stairs & platforms
Dwarven Halls
Dark Horror
Prison Fortress
Ruined
New pledge levels
Following your feedback we have added a $1 pledge level - this will allows access to the add-ons where you can select only the items you would like.
We have also added a pledge level for just the new essentials map packs - Pirate Coast and Gothic Castles as this was a common request.
Digital Content
We can clarify that the digital versions of the essentials map packs Pirate Coast and Gothic Castle will be included in the digital pledge level.
We attended both MCM Comic Con and UK Games Expo at the end of May, and thank you so much to all the backers who swung by to say hi!

Backed for just the Gothic Castles and Pirate coast and with the current images available for The Dungeoneerium i'll keep that pledge. But would like to be able to see the complete book before I complete my PM so I can decide if i want to add it.
