We are back again with another update. We just couldn't wait to share a few goodies we recently received from one of our artists. And a PSA from Goodman Games regarding GenCon. But first a quick update on the project progress:
Project Updates
The DCC and 5E main books, plus all three adventures are in layout. We have already seen the first 20 or so pages, and provided some feedback to the graphic designer. We should be getting full documents to proof any day now!
For the 5E books, we decided to create a bunch of charts for an appendix. These charts summarize the traps by Skull Rating, 5E Tier, Complexity, and Threat Level. This should make finding that perfect trap for your players even easier! These charts are all complete (following some Excel wizardry) and have been passed to the graphic designers.
The art sketches we shared last update are getting finishing touches.
Animated Traps!
Speaking of artwork, Chuck Whelon has outdone himself (yet again). He created animated GIF's of two of the traps he illustrated and recently shared them with us. They are so neat, we had to share them with the fine backers that made this project possible.
Here is the Shower of Gold Trap. The delver that triggers this trap will be rich, but certainly not "clean". Be sure you wait until the end!

And here is the Wet Noodle Trap. Spoiler Alert: There is no pasta involved with this trap, but something gets to dine at the end! This is the bonus trap we created just for the backers!

Public Service Announcement
Goodman Games is looking for a few good 5E GMs for GenCon
Goodman Games is looking for a few good Game Masters who are attending GenCon (August 1st through the 4th) interested in running 5E games for our Castle Whiterock Organized Play Program. Castle Whiterock is a classic mega-dungeon, with 15 full levels and 14 sub-levels (over 320 encounter areas!) and updated versions are coming to crowdfunding in 2025.
You are welcome to run as many (or as few) games as you desire. All GMs will get a sneak peak at our updated Castle Whiterock, and maybe even have an opportunity to help direct the conversion. But there are some sweet perks if you commit to running 4 slots of 5E Castle Whiterock at GenCon. These include:
If you are interested, please shoot us a message at [email protected]. Please introduce yourself, tell us a bit about your 5E and GMing experience, and when you started playing TTRPGs. Also, let us know what your favorite classic adventure is.
That is all we have for this update. We'll be back in a few weeks with some more exciting news!
