If you've had trouble downloading it, the best way to ensure these redemption codes work smoothly is to log in to your DTRPG account first, and then click (or copy) the link shown in your BackerKit. You may have to click the link twice to get it to show up in your cart.
Remember to read the Backer PDF and share your feedback so that the team can finalize the book and begin preparing the Print-on-Demand version. Onyx Path has a special Pugmire Unleasehed: A Player's Guide Feedback Form, which you will be able to access here: <Pugmire Unleashed Feedback Form>. It will be open for the next few days, so please submit your feedback as soon as possible.
PAYMENT PROCESSING
This only applies to about 40 of you. If your payment failed during the original crowdfunding campaign, or you selected Add On options during the Pledge Manager phase, BackerKit will begin processing payments for any balance in two days.
For those affected, you will receive a reminder notice later today with a 48-hour countdown. On Friday, the system will begin processing those payments, so be prepared.
REALMS OF PUGMIRE PANEL from OPP CON 2026
If you want to know more about the current and future projects for Realms of Pugmire, check out the panel from this year's Onyx Path Online Gaming Covnention.
Once all of the feedback is submitted, the developers will use your notes to guide the book through a final round of corrections before finallizing the PDF and ordering a proof copy of the Print-on-Demand version. When that is reviewed and approved, it will be released on DriveThruRPG and we'll get access to the finalized PDF in our digital library and I'll send discount order codes for the print-on-demand version.

PUGMIRE UNLEASHED Backer PDF
The Realms of Pugmire core rulebook covers a lot of ground, but, as players, you know there’s more to see. It’s time to look beyond Pugmire.
Welcome to Pugmire Unleashed: A Player’s Guide. It’s primarily a book for players who are interested in new options for their games. Inside you’ll find not only more callings, tricks, and spells for dog player charac ters, but there are also more species player-character options, allowing everyone to find something compelling to play within the Realms of Pugmire. Along with new places to explore, people to meet, enemies to fight, and adventures to undertake, this book adds a wide variety of new things to your Realms of Pugmire game.
Some highlights of Pugmire Unleashed include:
Four new callings for dogs, including new tricks and spells
New rules for sailing and gunpowder weapons
Complete setting and character-creation information for four new species: badgers, birds, lagomorphs, and reptiles
More information on iconic locations like Houndton, Mutt Town, and Waterdog Port
Three exciting adventures for Guides to use at their table

BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of Pugmire Unleashed to be released. The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we send the book off to print.
With that in mind, I'd like to introduce the Pugmire UnleashedFeedback Form!
Onyx Path will be launching a special Pugmire Unleasehed: A Player's GuideFeedback Form, which you will be able to access here: <Pugmire Unleashed Feedback Form>
They are aware of any Page XX notations - those are left in to replace for the final version once any changes you've suggested are made, so they can reference the correct page if any shifts in layout result.
Onyx Path will keep errata collection open for the next week. Please submit your feedback as soon as possible so the team can get on to finalizing this file - and working on our print version as well!
They won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), they will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice from DrivethruRPG that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the book a reality with your Crowdfunding support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
SO: Look for your reward email over the next 24 hours, or check your BackerKit page to see your digital reward redemption links. Review the backer PDF and submit any feedback you have, and let's make this book as awesome as possible!
ORDER LOCKDOWN and PAYMENT PROCESSING SCHEDULE
Now that this big main reward is out in Backer PDF form, I'm going to begin the process of locking down and finalizing our Pledge Manager information.
Later today, I will send out a final call for Order Confirmation. You'll have 48 hours to review your order and make any changes - selecting additional Add On options - before the orders are locked in and no further changes can be made.
For anyone who selected Add Ons in the Pledge Manager and still has pending payments for those, we'll process your payments on June 26.
On June 24, I will send out our regular month end update and include a reminder.
In summary:
June 20 - 48 hour notice of Order Lockdown sent out
June 22 - All item selection is locked in and finalized
June 24 - 48 hour notice about any Pledge Manager Add On payments
June 26 - Payment processing for anything not covered during the Crowdfunding campaign.
This doesn't affect very many of you, but I wanted to show the runway before we take off for those who will have charges processed in a week.

March Summary: Artwork seems to be done for our book (see sneak peek below), a few tweaks to a map needed, but Pugmire Unleashed should be moving to the layout queue soon.
As a big fan of mustelids, I love this sneak peek preview we've got from the book. Can't wait to see the rest of the artwork when our backer copies are ready! It'll still be a bit to work through the layout queue, but great to see progress!
Pending Projects
As noted, artwork is reportedly complete, just a tweak or two needed for some maps and then the book will move to layout.
