Hey Everyone,
Incredible start! Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, humor, and support.
We are at the
halfway mark to our $70k funding goal.
Please let everyone you know about the project. I'm so excited to get this book in your hands. It already feels like my best writing to date because I am bringing everything I've learned over the last 5 years to the design table.
So
privileged and
honored to have all of your backing, my friends! Let's keep pressing on: there are shargs
orcs to kill!
Very Best,
Rob, PHP
P.S. Hope my slew of updates, emails, and "@everyone"'s didn't piss you off this morning. It's just how these things go, haha!

Dear Friends,
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 11:00am Eastern, THE OVERLORDS OF STEEL goes live on BackerKit!
After years of writing, mapping, revising, and building this enormous campaign's manuscript, we're finally here.
THE OVERLORDS OF STEEL is a complete 400+ page, level 1–14 sword & sorcery campaign for Old-School Essentials (2026 Update): a vast wilderness sandbox, ancient cities and settlements, more than 100 new monsters, 4 mid-sized dungeons, and the colossal 1,000+ encounter megadungeon of Exesed Mordax.
- Having so many of you waiting at the gates before launch is incredible. I'm honored to have your support. Thank you for following my project.
- And if you haven't made your $1 early reservation yet, today is your last chance to unlock the exclusive $15 digital bonus adventure when you back the campaign. Make it so!
I'll also be joining
Erudite Mike later today at 3:00pm Eastern to talk about old-school game design and what I've been building for this project.
And then finally, my friends, tomorrow morning, we cross the Sear-White Sea. I'll see you on the beach!
Very Best,
Rob Alderman,
Pulp Hummock Press
