Seeds of Decay - 5e campaign setting, bestiary, & adventure
Created by Darryl T. Jones
A crack has formed in the darkness, leaking decay into the forest, twisting its creatures into terrible monstrosities.

The Final Book PDF and STLs were sent Via Backerkit
Good news! The final version of the Seeds of Decay book PDF was sent out along with the four monster STLs to all of the backers who should receive them.
I hope you all love them as much as I do! This project has been a labor of love and it seems, this close to the finish line, every step makes me tear up! Speaking of tears, look at this:
If you have multiple links to the PDF in BackerKit, they are the same file. I hoped to make sure no one was missed and may have overlapped some of the distribution segments. Same for the STLs. I was pleased to hear that some of you were excited to get your hands on them!
PDF Feedback Winner
First, let me share my sincere gratitude to everyone who took the time to read and scrutinize Seeds of Decay. You’ve made a significant difference in the quality of the book! Thank you! I have notified our winner by email!
Manufacturing and the Chinese New Year
First, the good news: As you can tell by the above video, preproduction samples are on the way from manufacturing and I’m thrilled by how things are looking.
However, as manufacturing has run its course, we have come into the Chinese New Year. Like most Board Game Companies, we use manufacturers in China; and, most industries in China observe the Chinese New Year holiday, taking much of the month of February off. Due to that, we are going to have to wait until the holiday is over before the product can be sent to our fulfillment partners. That being said, everything is very close. Honestly, I'm giddy. Everything should be on boats just a few weeks after the CNY holiday finishes.
We Need Volunteers to GM Seeds of Decay at Origins and Gen Con
We are looking for adventurers just like YOU to run Seeds of Decay 5e at Origins and GenCon this year! Sessions will last around 2 hours.
What's in it for you

Happy Chinese New Year, Darryl T. Jones (aka Splattered Ink)

Merry Christmas and a Happy Blue River Days!
Following a powerful strum, a sable deeret announces, “I am Theobald!” He holds his arms out wide, bowing to the crowd, their focus now on him. “Feast!” He proclaims. “Feast and allow me to take you back, back to a time when the forest was young and full of mystery. Back, I dare say, to a time of heroes...” he pauses for dramatic effect, “...and monsters!”
Full PDF Distributed - Last Chance to Catch Typos
By now you should have received your PDF copy of the final proofing draft of Seeds of Decay. It seems not everyone got the alpha 3 version. I believe I've corrected that for this file, but if you don't have it in your Backerkit account, and believe you should, let me know.
This version has all of the content! It's the whole basket of horcberries! I couldn't be more pleased. The few remaining maps, illustrations, and reference notes will be added next week - then it's off to the manufacturer.
Soon after that, they will get back to me with the final weights and I'll let you know shipping costs, so double-check those mailing addresses. Also, please note, at this stage in the process, I am not able to offer refunds. Thank you for your understanding.
Find Errors? There's still time to be entered in our drawing!
I want to share a huge thank you to everyone who found typos. I'm still looking for more. We're about to hit print and I don't want to miss anything. I really appreciate your help!
Everyone who submits an error to the link below will be entered into a random drawing for a free copy of Seeds of Decay, standard hardcover. If you pledged for any tier that includes the standard hardcover or deluxe, I'll refund $50 (the amount for the standard hardcover book) and you'll still receive your full pledge. If you pledged for a tier that does not include the standard hardcover, I'll add it to your pledge for free. You just pay shipping! Make sure you include the version info.
