Quick Summary: Layout continues on our main book, and our companion is now in final drafts.
A few straggling projects distracted from the ongoing layout of our main reward, but it's still in the works. I'm hopeful we'll get a big reward in our March or April update (depending on how long it takes to proof and get the IP Holders to approve). CAT SOON dot GIF, as it were.
And Avatars of Brass and Shadow, our companion book, has finished up in redlines and is currently having the final draft hammered out before moving back to the developers to piece it all together into one cohesive whole. Excited for that one!
Let's get to our review!

CURRENTLY CROWDFUNDING!
The World Below: Buried Treasures
The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls they encounter. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will, in turn, become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.
Now, two new books will let you delve deeper into The World Below and illuminate some of the darkness!
The Delver’s Guide is a Player's Manual for The World Below.
Delvers may be brave, but that doesn’t mean they don’t require help once in a while. That’s what this guide is: help for all delvers, explorers, and survivors in the World Below. New Callings and weapons, new Dialectics and powers, a new scenario and fresh rules for crafting and harvesting, and much, much more await within, so every delver can feel properly equipped for the adventures ahead.
Secrets of Kalm and Kaos is a Storyguide’s Handbook for The World Below.
There are hundreds of tales to tell of the World Below. From stories of adventurers braving Kaos storms to intrepid explorers who throw themselves into the dreamlike Obscura or harrowing Abyss. From chronicles of settlements rising and falling to those of bold delvers who go so far as to tame the beasts of their realm and call them pets. New playable options, new powers, new rules for Kalm, machinery, monstrous mounts, and more besides await within.
