About the Adventure

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.

July 2023 Update
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jul 04, 2023 at 08:31:57 AM

Shipping Complete!

Thank you for your patience over the past few months. We still have a handful of backers whose orders are incomplete that we're trying to reach (see below). Everyone else has already received their book or its on the way. 

At the time of writing this update:

  • Nearly 750 packages have been delivered
  • Another 200 are currently in transit
  • Any remaining Canadian and US packages should arrive this week
  • Some international orders have arrived and nearly everyone else should get their packages this summer

Shipping Trackers

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:

  • Heavy orders to the UK with two or more books
  • Some orders to Australia, EU, Singapore, Indonesia, and Argentina

If you are from any of these areas and want to confirm your shipment was sent, please email [email protected].

Incomplete Orders

We still have a handful of backers who we're trying to reach whose orders have an incomplete survey, bad address, or are missing payment for shipping. If you want to confirm that your order was complete please email [email protected].

Old Address

We've had a small handful of US orders come back with an out of date address. We'll reach out to these customers this week to try to figure out an alternative arrangement.

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.
