Aaaaand They're Gone!
February 28th - via: kickstarter.com
I'm still stunned at the response, thank you all so much :O We're now all but completely sold out. All that's left is 1 Overseer (which is retail specific) and 2 Dwarven Royalty. You can still always back at the £3 tier to get a PDF of each zine... (Read More)

It's getting a little chilly in these cavernous halls, get in here and warm the place up with merriment, questions, and wishlists! Join the Discord through this link - https://discord.gg/rW6hWq3 While I won't be able to answer every question, I'll do... (Read More)
The Joys Of Playtesting
February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
DELVE is still very much in the "pre-alpha" just now. The content is mostly there, I just need to tinker and test rigorously and keep finding out what works and what doesn't. And that can be soulcrushing but it can also lead to some fun discoveries.... (Read More)
Overseer Typo
February 27th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi Everyone, Just to point out the typo in Overseer that I've just noticed, it won't be delivering in March, it will be delivering in June alongside the rest of them. Sorry for any inconvienence! Also, £8000 :O this is crazy! Thank you all so much... (Read More)
The Home Stretch!
February 25th - via: kickstarter.com
Well technically the home stretch was a good few thousand ago, this is more like out the parking lot, down the street and into the woods at this point but you get my drift. We've only got a few days left and this is usually where projects spike so... (Read More)
Expansions and The Joy Of Simplicity
February 25th - via: kickstarter.com
DELVE is intended to be a simple and straightforward experience that provides an emergent narrative. My main design goal while playtesting is to streamline the turn and to keep play focused on the story of the hold. But that means some mechanics that... (Read More)
No More Starving Minions
February 21st - via: kickstarter.com
We've just went past £4000. I didn't think it was possible and now I have to take my poor packaging minions out for dinner. They've assured me they are very grateful (and that mutiny was on the cards). As we've dropped down to 20 physical copies... (Read More)
A Sneak Peak Of Magic
February 20th - via: kickstarter.com
This is pre-formatting so don't worry, I know it looks a big garrish just now. Magic is a strange thing in DELVE. It can be wonderous and great, a force that makes every dwarf's life just that little bit richer. Magic can be encountered by in ancient... (Read More)
Less Than 100 Copies Left!
February 20th - via: kickstarter.com
There are only 99 copies left at time of writing. That's amazing :O Not so much for the packaging minions as it looks like they're going to end up with 100 copies each to pack but they'll get through it. One way or another. In other news, I'm... (Read More)
Last of the stretch goals
February 19th - via: kickstarter.com
We have absolutely blown past the stretch goals and I am absolutely stunned. Thank you all so much! I joined Zinequest with the expectation of barely squeezing by my goal and happily releasing my little zine into obscurity and I am so proud of how... (Read More)
UMBRA is go!
February 18th - via: kickstarter.com
You lot are insatiable! :D We've crossed the £2600 mark so UMBRA is officially launched! You'll have the opportunity to explore alien planets, uncovering weird technology and terrifying flora and fauna, all while building your own colony. UMBRA... (Read More)
RISE is officially happening!
February 17th - via: kickstarter.com
We've hit the £2000 mark and RISE is officially unlocked! RISE will expand upon the core gameplay of DELVE with some dungeon specific nuances. Mainly in keeping your minions happy or terrified so they don't disobey you. As a lifelong fan of the... (Read More)
Stretch Goals
February 17th - via: kickstarter.com
Apologies for the quietness over the past few days, I didn't expect the project to blow up this much and have had to scramble to work out the costs of stretch goals and as we've blown past the 200% mark, I think its only fair to reward you all as... (Read More)
24 Hours!
February 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Thank you all so much! After managing to stay away for most of the first day, I've since returned and fallen into the trap of refreshing the page every few minutes. I'm amazed at how far this has come in just 24 hours. As the campaign progresses,... (Read More)
