THE HUNT FOR THE UNDINE
As the shadow of war threatens Vodari, the race is on to find a famous undersea vessel, the Undine. Its secrets prove greater and stranger than anyone expected.
“The Hunt for the Undine” is an undersea adventure for four 5th-level characters. The adventure is set in Vodari's undersea world and uses factions from around Vodari, but can be run in any setting with modest changes. This adventure emphasizes the impact that the worlds above and below the waves have on each other, and characters from above or below the waves can participate in this adventure.
Here is a quick update on the The Hunt for the Undine:
Editing - complete
Artwork - 75%
Maps - complete
We're still on target for a Q3 2024 release
Early Access backers will be sent a rough draft copy of the adventure today with placeholder maps (sorry for the delay)

THE HUNT FOR THE UNDINE
As the shadow of war threatens Vodari, the race is on to find a famous undersea vessel, the Undine. Its secrets prove greater and stranger than anyone expected.
“The Hunt for the Undine” is an undersea adventure for four 5th-level characters. The adventure is set in Vodari's undersea world and uses factions from around Vodari, but can be run in any setting with modest changes. This adventure emphasizes the impact that the worlds above and below the waves have on each other, and characters from above or below the waves can participate in this adventure.
Writing is complete!
The adventure is around the same word count as the "Sunken City of Zuroth".
We're currently deep into editing and starting to commission artwork.
I don't have a solid release date to announce, but we're targeting a Q3 2024 release.
Early Access backers will be sent a rough draft copy of the adventure with placeholder maps later this month (April 2024).
I'll share some artwork once we have a cover and some interior artwork.

Nearly every package we sent out was sent out with a shipping tracker. The following exceptions were made due to tracked shipping costs being more than the order itself:

The Hunt for the Undine (PDF)
We're deep into writing this stretch goal adventure. We're hoping to have it move into artwork and layout this summer and then into distribution this fall. We'll keep everyone updated with progress, art previews, and solid dates as we get closer to release.

Shipping Update 2

Thank you for your patience as we work to fulfill all of your physical rewards. Shipping began in April 2023 but we had to pause operations for a few weeks while I dealt with my mother's death and buying/selling a home. I apologize for the recent lack of communication.
The good news is that shipping has been back up to full speed now for two weeks and we expect to be 99% done shipping by mid June 2023.
We are generally shipping the highest tier orders first.
We expect to have most Twilight Hunter or higher backer tiers shipped and on the way by the end of May 2023.
Sunlit Seas Swimmer and pre-order backers will ship June 2023.
Some quick shippingstats:
266 packages delivered / on their way
421 orders are packed and waiting to ship
31 orders are incomplete (see below)
Shipping Notifications
Our main shipping partner is providing tracking numbers for all shipments, but sending tracking info to receiver emails is not automated. Therefore, we're manually adding tracking info to those orders in Backerkit. If you can't find your tracking info, please email [email protected] and we can provide a tracker or let you know the status of your order. Also, we're working to streamline this process and make it easier for all backers to clearly know the status of their shipment.
Incomplete Orders
There are still 31 backers that we can't fulfill due to the following reasons:
Postage unpaid
Failure to complete backer survey
Out of date email address
Missing/Incomplete Address
If you think you might be one of these orders, please check your email junk for a Backerkit survey or an email from [email protected].
