23 days ago – Wed, Oct 07, 2026 at 02:15:36 PM

Hi all, 

I figured "in for a penny, in for a pound," so I kept banging away on the shipping pile today. New packages sent out for Kankelborg, Kochanowski, Little, Hubert, Ferguson, DiDonato, Allis, Gailer, Klug, McAdam, Albrecht, Gernot, Bouck, Khasin, Garlow, Tansek, Fowler, Oliverez, Beall, Agin, Chris, Sachse, Kraus, Drysdale, Ruffing, Rompot, Thompson, Gordon, Agee, Jung, Perry, Kons, Knell, Wernig, Allred, and Glover!

I've also found a few inconsistencies or dropped pledges and have emailed backers where I have questions or issues, so check your inbox to see if you've got something from Legendary about making sure we get you your pledge! 

Thanks again for your support of Ultimate Horror and we hope you love your books when they arrive, whether you're getting part of your order now or your whole order later! 

P.S. Don't forget to sign up for notifications on Tome & Blood: Arcane Classes for D&D and Pathfinder, coming your way in November!

First wave of shipping on its way!!! And next project coming in November!

Hi all,

We've been working hard on completing the three versions of the Horror Campaign Compendium, but we also have many orders that contain both print-on-demand books as well as books (and Fates of Madness games) that we already have in stock. The Horror Campaign Compendium will ship out later with other print-on-demand items, but right now we're getting the first batches of existing books like the Faerie Bestiary, Faerie Campaigns, Mythos Monsters, and Ultimate Treasury in the mail to you! Backers McIntosh, Grantham, Minnear, Christopherson, Johnson, White, DeRocha, Pepper, Unger, McCormick, Wemmer, Connor, Land, Walkup, Lefholz, Morgann, Larkin, Hardro, Hill, Hagen, McKenna, Spaulding, Puckett, McLaughlin, Hin, Ashley, and Frank, you've got loot heading your way!

Work is continuing and we'll keep you apprised of finalizing the Horror Campaign Compendium books soon, but we wanted to share the good news and hope you love all of these books when they arrive! 

P.S. Our next project is also in motion with Tome & Blood, our latest class compendium books for D&D 5E and Pathfinder 1E, this time for Sorcerers, Wizards, and all the arcane classes! We're aiming to launch the first week of November, and if you've enjoyed our previous class book projects like Sword and Fist, Defenders of the Faith, Cloak & Dagger, Clerics & Cultists, Templars & Tyrants, Battlemasters & Berserkers, and Masters of the Wild, we hope you'll check out this one too! Sign up here to get notified on launch!

Downloads Ahoy!!!

Hi all,

Thanks for the great response to our Backerkit survey! We're trying a new feature on Backerkit for fulfillment that they've just introduced, where instead of loading up individual PDFs onto the Backerkit site, we instead connect it to DrivethruRPG product pages, so that the items you've pledged for will connect directly to their site and your product library of downloads there instead of having to download them manually from Backerkit. This is the first time we've tried it, so I'm hoping this will work well for everyone. Check your Backerkit account and your DrivethruRPG and make sure you see the items you've pledged for! Except...

• The Horror Campaign Compendium itself is still in progress, so nothing to download there.
• Ditto for Tome of Madness (PF2) and Whisper House (PF2)
• VTT codes will be sending out separately in the near future, as will VTT Token Packs.

Let me know how the new system is working. Hopefully all good, but if we have issues we can run it by Backerkit support or, if needed, go back to the old-fashioned way of loading PDFs directly. 

We'll have more information soon but hopefully you love the items you're able to download now!

Backerkit Survey Approved! Smoke Test Sent! Early Bird Bonus Items Added!
about 2 months ago – Thu, Sep 10, 2026 at 05:58:29 PM

Hi all,

Our survey sailed through Backerkit with just a couple of tiny tweaks and we've sent out the smoke test to 5% of backers so we can double check everything is going smoothly once it gets in your hands! Check your email inbox tonight and see if you're one of the folks randomized to get your survey early. We'll be checking the early surveys to make sure everything is A-OK on our end, and if there are no issues we'll send out surveys to everyone tomorrow! 

We've added the Early Bird bonus items for backers in the first 72 hours who scored a free copy of the Fates of Madness card game or the Krampus STL file! Those items should be added to your survey already for free, and of course everyone else can grab them as part of their backer survey! 

Thanks so much for making this project come to life and we hope you love these books when you get them in your hands! 

Backerkit Survey Submitted and Gothic Campaign Compendium PF1 for Fantasy Grounds!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Sep 09, 2026 at 03:58:13 PM

Hi all,

First things first, the Backerkit survey is in for review! Usually things turn around fairly quickly, so I'm hopeful we'll be able to send it out Friday or Saturday to everyone! You can choose your game system, enter your address and pay for shipping if getting physical products, and of course add any extra items that strike your fancy! 

Speaking of extra items, we have a somewhat surprising addition to our Horror trove: The Gothic Campaign Compendium for PF1 for Fantasy Grounds VTT! 

Fantasy Grounds has their own in-house dev team, and this just happened to be the LG book they most recently chose to work on. Note that this is NOT the new version of the Horror Campaign Compendium; this is the original Pathfinder 1E book from 2013, ready to use for Fantasy Grounds.

That said, the Horror Campaign Compendium project was intended to bring all of that content together for D&D 5.5E and Pathfinder 2E, while simultaneously providing an updated and enhanced version of the original (and now out-of-print) Gothic Campaign Compendium book for Pathfinder 1E. The new book has more monsters, spells, class options, haunted traps, creepy castle rules, artwork, and more (plus allows us to bring it to print again, as there are no more copies of the old book left), but the majority of the content in the updated Horror Campaign Compendium can be found in the original Gothic Campaign Compendium. 

If you're a Fantasy Grounds fan for PF1, this will definitely be right up your alley! 

P.S. FOR ALL PF1 HORROR CAMPAIGN COMPENDIUM BACKERS: If you are a longtime LG fan and already own the original Gothic Campaign Compendium and are getting the new version, I'm going to add a Backerkit question where you can let me know, as I'll be issuing a credit or coupon code for you (our website is currently down, but once it gets back running I'll be able to set things up).
