Deep Madness (Second Printing)

Live Stream Rescheduled!
9 months ago – Sun, Jun 22, 2025 at 08:12:03 PM

Hey guys! So, I updated you a couple of days ago about a live stream I was going to do. Well, if you tuned in, you probably noticed it didn't happen. That's because I had a family medical emergency that detained me for most of the day and prevented me from doing it at that time. 

However, we're not giving up on this thing. We'll now do it tomorrow (Monday) at 12:00 PM PDT (7:00 PM GMT). The same links will work, as I was able to reschedule the stream rather than cancel it. So, you can find the stream on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X.

Doing it on a weekday might not be as ideal as a Saturday, but hopefully you'll still be able to come hang out with me and talk about Dawn of Madness, Deep Madness, or any of our other games.

Okay, that's it for this update. I hope to see you on the live stream tomorrow!

Live Stream and What We've Been Up To
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 20, 2025 at 10:57:18 PM

Hi there, my friend! Long time no talk!

I wanted to let you know first that I'll be doing a live stream tomorrow (Saturday, which may be today depending on when you read this) at 2 PM PDT (9 PM GMT). We'll mainly be talking about Dawn of Madness, but I'm happy to chat with you about any of our games. I'll be on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X. I hope to see you there!

Additionally, in case you haven't heard, our reopened pledge manager/new campaign for Dawn of Madness (The Complete Collection) is now live on Gamefound and will close this coming Tuesday. If you haven't checked out Dawn of Madness in a while, there's never been a better time to take a look.

Following the original campaign, we ended up completely retooling the game. We also expanded it, filling it with more and more content until it grew to essentially be four full games in the core box and eight games across its expansions - each with its own mechanics, monsters, ending battles, and storybooks. All told, there are over 353,000 words of story content in the base game, and 755,000+ words when you include the expansions. It's possible there's no better value in board games for $89. So, if you like deep, engrossing, story-rich, and utterly terrifying games, be sure to check it out!

Furthermore, since we have completed development and are about to start production, you can expect to receive your game within the next six months. That means that if you decide to back Dawn of Madness, you should get it by the end of this year. (It will take a few extra months for translated editions.)

Okay, that's it for this update! I hope you're doing well and enjoying your game. Have a great day, and I look forward to talking with you again soon!

Deep Madness's Last Day, and What's Been Going On
over 3 years ago – Wed, Oct 26, 2022 at 01:49:05 AM

Hi guys! I wanted to update you briefly on what's been happening in the Deep Madness campaign. First of all, this is its final day. So, if you're interested in checking it out, this is the last chance. You can find it by clicking here.

I also wanted to offer some updates from the campaign. First, we announced that this will be the original Deep Madness’s last crowdfunding campaign. Roger, our CEO, creative director, and lead game designer, also laid out the reasons for this campaign: essentially, this was the chance to fix those things in Deep Madness that we weren’t happy with initially, using what we’ve learned to update the game and make it the best version we could as we sent it out one last time. You can read more about his thoughts and the reasons for this campaign in the update here.

In this same update, we revealed that the Madness Reborn epic monsters have become their own, completely separate nightmares, rather than just new sculpts of the previous epics. We also announced that Deep Madness will be coming to the Dized app, complete with an interactive tutorial, and we offered some cool comparison shots between the new epics, old epics, and upgrade kit components. Finally, we announced that the new core game box will now be coming with every copy of the upgrade kit, so you won’t miss out on the new box if you just wanted to upgrade your game. (Once again, you can check out that update here.)

In our first update, we announced that the elusive Magnetic Saw Gun card has been added to every pledge level from the Crawling Core up. You can see that update here.

And finally, we have a new stretch goal we’re working towards, which will introduce a new type of investigator: the epic investigator. These are half-investigator, half-something else, and have two different modes: Mortal mode, and Enlightened mode. They have been altered by the sphere and the otherworld beyond it, making an investigator that is stronger - and more dangerous - than any others before it. Below are two rough concepts for our first epic investigator, Dr. William West, with the top one being his front while the bottom is his back. You can learn more about him in this update. 

I think those are all the updates from the new Deep Madness campaign. Once again, if you’re interested, the campaign ends in a few hours, but you can still check it out here if you'd like.

Well, that's all for this update. Have a great day and week, and Happy Halloween!

New Deep Madness Campaign is Live!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 25, 2022 at 10:51:50 PM

Hey guys! I just wanted to drop in and let you know that we have launched a new Kickstarter for Deep Madness. So, if there was an expansion you missed last time, you can grab it now. 

We've included some new stuff and revised some things as well. This new reprint includes a new expansion called Madness Reborn which adds eight giant, nasty reimaginings of some of our favorite epic monsters and seven scenarios crafted by Deep Madness superfan Phil Blake and his crew of madmen. There's also an upgrade kit that will bring your game up to the current version that we're offering nearly at cost, which includes revised versions of every printed component from the game - including revised versions of every rulebook and card, and color-corrected, brightened tiles and punchboards. (It's not a necessary purchase for you to continue enjoying your copy of Deep Madness, but it's there if you want it.) 

If you'd like to take a look at the new campaign, you can find it by clicking here.

Want to see some of what's in the campaign? Okay then. Here are a couple of the monsters from Madness Reborn:

Once again, click here to check out the new campaign!

I hope you're doing well, friend. Have a great week!
