Hail Adventurers!
Good news. I have plundered the depths of the Royal Mail website for their international postage costs and I've successfully (I believe) punched all that information into Backerkit. It's currently off for review, but hopefully you should all be receiving your fulfilment costs based on the weight of products and destination country. The books should be here at the back end of next week and all the folios have arrived.
So we're nearly there!
As a heads up the costs look largely like this and hopefully I've managed Volmat's quest to find low (relatively) fulfilment costs.
I've converted kg to oz (for Backerkit) and I've included the relevant packaging costs. Once you've paid and I've packed the books up, they'll be winging their way to you.
Exciting time!
More soon,
Pete

Hail Adventurer!
And so, our great journey has come to an end. I may have not made many successful Navigation rolls along the way, but I have battled through the Hardship and the odd Encounter with success. Today the final version of the book arrived at my home, and I am very pleased.
4 out of 6 sets of character folios also arrived. These too are good. The other 2 arrive tomorrow.
I’m so happy with how it’s all turned out. I will now be ordering the rest of the books for fulfilment and next week I will be requesting fulfilment costs from all physical backers and getting things in the post.
Next Monday I will be finalising fulfilment costs and sharing with backers. After a lot of calculating, it’s proven cheaper to fulfil from my location, rather than using Blackbox. The size of my Kickstarter just doesn’t warrant it and the additional setup costs nudge that method over going Royal Mail from here. In a way that’s kind of nice, I’ll get them all here and send them all out to you awesome folks.
So, we are in the final stretch.
Or are we…
…this June (aiming for the 21st) I will be launching my next Kickstarter! Yes, I know I’ve just finished this one. This just spurs me on though.
I hope that all of you take a look at the next campaign which will create a D&Dified version of the dice mechanics (to maybe broaden the audience) and an expansion for OG Heroic Deeds: Deeper Dungeons. This expansion will have loads of cool stuff in it for more adventures in the Verdant Wilds, so please go check it out and share with all your friends. I have some other creators joining the party this time, making new and exciting Adventure Locations for your table to enjoy.
It’s amazing to be here, with a finished game in hand. I hope you all enjoy the game when it arrives on your table.
This weekend I am running 4 tables of Heroic Deeds at UKGE to celebrate the completion of the game and the launch of the next Kickstarter.
Now all there is left to do is draw your sword and prepare to undertake HEROIC DEEDS!
More soon,
Pete
April Update - new PDF version available!
about 1 month ago

Hello Adventurers!
Just a quick one tonight.
First off, I've updated the pdf to v0.9.9. I tied up some wording, shuffled the Journey section round, ran a good old spellcheck, and edited the text of all Deeds. Deed goals don't include the number of times they need to be completed anymore - that's just shown by the Advance Track.
Secondly, please head over and follow the next Kickstarter - I will be adding to Heroic Deeds with the first expansion: Deeper Dungeons. Plus making a 5e/D&D adjacent version to make the game more accessible to a broader audience.
Rules for building your own Adventure Locations and Dungeon Sub-Levels.
The more people we can get following the next campaign the better, so please follow and share if you can!
More soon,
Pete
March Update - PDF is complete!

Hello adventurers!
The latest update to Heroic Deeds on DTRPG sees the book feature complete!
All 216 pages are there with intended content. There's just some editing to be done, so we're now at v0.9.8 - so nearly there. But again this is now a complete game. You also get a Foundry VTT custom system character sheet, a region map, 4 dungeon maps, and character/party/cheat sheets to help you play straight away.
Now I'm on to the stretch goals and editing before getting print runs done and all the goods sent out. We are nearly done.
The goal is that this is all done by the end of May at the latest, as I'll be running 4 sessions of Heroic Deeds at UK Games Expo this year. It would be nice to have it all done by that stage. Plus UK people might be able to pick their copy up from me directly, we'll see.
So I'll be locking down Backerkit soon, adding fulfilment costs, and charging cards so that it can all proceed completely smoothly.
Exciting times!
More soon,
Pete
PS. Don't kill me but I think my next kickstarter will be a 5e version of Heroic Deeds in an attempt to broaden the audience. Likely to launch in June but not fulfill until May 2027. If you are interested in that head to the link below (don't worry this KS comes first).
January Update 1

Hello Adventurers!
I thought I'd drop a quick update to say Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great festive season, however you may spend it.
There has been some work over the Christmas period at Garblag HQ. The Heroic Deeds pdf is available on DriveThruRPG right now, and I'm busy editing and making the last few updates (which you'll automatically get). The next drop will be soon and this will update it to v0_9_7 for you all. At that point there will be just the map for the Lost Beacon to draw, and the Shattered Temple to complete. So very nearly done!
I had my first review just before Christmas. It was five star and from someone newly discovering the game. It made my day!
I know a lot of you have picked up the pdf, if you haven't please go check it out.
Some cool news is that this coming Sunday Derik over at the Knight of Last Call YouTube Channel will be doing a live stream first look at Heroic Deeds. He'll be going through the pdf and giving his thoughts on the contents. I'm preparing myself for him to tear it to pieces! Tune in if you can or catch it after the live stream.
Once we have the book finished I'll be putting the character folios and stickers together, and then we'll get onto fulfilment! So we are very close to the end.
