Ultimate Treasury: 1001 DnD 5E treasures, monsters, & magic

It! Is! Finished!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 06, 2023 at 12:46:43 AM

At long last, the full 346-page compilation of the Ultimate Treasury is ready for you! As we've mentioned on previous updates, it also includes bonus material we've added as a make-good given the delays we've encountered on the project and wanted to offer something extra for all of you! 

We've sent the print interior and cover files to our printer for review and will keep you updated on print approvals and estimates on shipping dates to receive the beautiful print books and get them headed your way! 

We appreciate your fantastic support for this project (and your patience with the various delays along the way), especially all of our Ultimate Enchanters and people who submitted an Enchant an Item bonus pledge! You can see all of their marvelous magic items in Chapter 14! Thanks for helping us bring the magic to you with this book! 

P.S. While we've reviewed and proofed this book extensively, it's always possible something may have escaped our attention. If you see a typo or missing italic or bold or missing word, let us know ASAP and we can get that fixed before we go to final print! 

The full manuscript is in and layout finalizing now!

Hi all,

We got the first completed galley version of the Ultimate Treasury on March 3 from layout and gave it an exhaustive proofing pass. On the good side, it's a whopping 353 pages! On the downside, there had been a file corruption in two of the component chapters where we lost work (and of course one was the longest chapter of all, Chapter 8: Wondrous Items) that had to be redone. Redoing it did give us the chance to add even more bonus items, though, so ad astra per aspera...

We didn't quite get the full book together by March 1st like we'd hoped, but it's very close now. The completed book is looking lovely, and we're happy to share a pair of sample pages for you as we add the spit and polish to make it perfect! We look forward to uploading the final version on Backerkit ASAP! 

Bonus Chapter, Appendices, and Legalese Complete! EVERYTHING is in to layout!

Hi all, 

I wanted to share the exciting news that every bit of the writing and development on every part of the book is now complete. We figured given the delays we'd like to add something extra for everyone, and so we've added an entire new BONUS chapter of Special Materials, with everything from bronze and obsidian to singing steel, blood crystal, and strange skymetals like phasing inubrix and time-bending horacalcum, plus additional notes on weapons and armor from rare materials and material-based magic items like scrimshaw. It was a section we had intended for one of our upcoming stretch goals that we didn't reach, but we decided what the heck, we'd go ahead and do it anyway!

The introduction also is complete, walking a new reader through the book and describing epic items and attunement, plus a pair of appendices - one of item tables organized by type and rarity, the other curated lists of items appropriate for differently themed campaigns. Even the credits, legalese, OGL, and all associated front and backmatter are in! 

Our layout person is traveling for his day job until Saturday, but we did a check-in today and he's confident we'll have the full book pulled together and ready for you by the end of the month! We'll also be exporting the spell card files to our printer for review and prep. 

This project has taken longer than expected, but we're very excited to be so close at least to getting it into your hands and we know you are going to love it! 

The Final Chapter is here: The Enchanter's Vault! Plus the last day for Mechanical Monsters!

We are so excited to unveil at last YOUR chapter of this book, Chapter 14: The Enchanter's Vault, now available for download in Backerkit! 

I've been assembling a bonus appendix that sorts every item in the book by its category, sub-category, and rarity to help search for and find the kinds of items you want to stock your nearest treasure hoard, which will go at the very end of the book. I'll be sending that to layout this Friday and then reviewing the credits, citations, and other frontmatter and backmatter for this book, along with back cover text and any other details, but we are ready to start final assembly of the complete book and prep for printing! We have books from several projects all making their way to our printers, so we should have a massive delivery this summer, and we hope to have books ready in time for GenCon in August! 

Once again, we thank you so much for awesome support of Legendary Games (and for your patience with the delays on this book). If you love the books you've gotten from us, we definitely hope you check out our latest Quick-Starter project ending TONIGHT at 9 PM EST/6 PM PST!

Plus, we've got bonus add-ons for you like:

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience. With the holidays first and then the sudden OGL universal meltdown going on, it's been a crazy past several weeks and we had to rearrange some things to get stuff settled ASAP. Our Ultimate Treasury team is back on track with the penultimate chapter in this terrific tome of treasures: Chapter 13: Spells and Spellbooks! This chapter has been uploaded to Backerkit and can be downloaded there now! 

The final chapter with all of our amazing backer items and artwork is next in line, and layout will be starting on that soon, and then we'll be able to button up the whole book and get the PDFs out to you and the final print files ready for our printer, both for this book and for the item cards, to review and get these books and cards rolling and hopefully ready in time for pickup at GenCon! 

• Last but not least, Mechanical Monsters! While we are cranking hard to the finish up the final bits of the Ultimate Treasury, one of our other teams has also completed work on Mechanical Monsters, our latest Quickstarter project for DnD 5E and Pathfinder RPG (with bonus add-ons also available for Starfinder). That project is right about the halfway point and is already over $30,000 and climbing, with 140 clockworks, cyborgs, robots, androids, and mechanical fey, fiends, oozes, and more! The 5E version should be ready for you as soon as the KS ends. We added the PFRPG book due to customer demand, and the Word doc is complete and with our layout artist now, so they'll start on that as soon as the 5E book is done. Add-ons like the Alien Bestiary and Alien Codex are already ready to go, and we've got Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds support available too!

The Mechanical Monsters Quickstarter ends February 3, and as always we hope you'll check it out and spread the word to fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder players alike!
