Ahoy Backers,
Our timeline has had to shift a little bit. Our designer, Rick has had some unexpected health issues this past month and we need to give ourselves additional time to polish up the manuscript.
We had aimed to get V1 of SINK! to you all today but we estimate an additional couple weeks while Rick recovers and allowing him a less stressful writing schedule.
V1 will include the setting, species, subclasses, backgrounds, magic items, and magic item tattoos. With V2 being available a few weeks after which will include the complete adventure and dungeons.
You all have been so patient and understanding. We appreciate your support and we cannot wait to get your hands and hooks on this! 🏴☠️

Earlier in the campaign, we mentioned that we would have a complete manuscript preview available in May. We missed the target, and failed to communicate that.
We are still finalizing content specifically related to the dungeons (the other three sections being the setting, magic item tattoos, and character options are complete), and wanted to spend some additional time to make sure the preview represents the final product as closely as possible. We are in the final stretch, and expect to have the preview before the end of June.
Project Status
- The manuscript preview will be available before the end of June.
- Editing has begun and will continue through June and early July.
- Final feedback and revisions will occur in July.
- We anticipate the PDF for SINK! Adventures on the Caldereach Sea to be released July 31st, to coincide with our Gen Con show.
- We anticipate digital products, including 2024 character options, Player’s Guide to the Caldereach Sea, and miniature STLs, to be available shortly after that.
We are also working with our publishing and fulfillment partners to get more accurate information on physical rewards and shipping timelines. We will share those details as we have them.
Gen Con
Finally, we understand some frustration at seeing a Gen Con announcement when you were expecting a status update. We were hoping to announce the PDF release at the Gen Con show, and got excited about the timing. We realize that we should have led with honesty, and we apologize.
We are still incredibly excited about the show, and hope to see some of you there!
Thank you for your continued patience and support. If you have any questions, you can reach us directly on our Discord channel.

Charting the Course!
Ahoy, backers! We’ve got an exciting milestone on the horizon as SINK! sails closer to completion.
Complete Manuscript Preview
In May, backers will receive access to a complete manuscript version of the book!
This version contains the full text of the book. All the lore, character options, adventure, and magic item tattoos into one document. While it won’t include final layout or art, this manuscript represents the full text of the book as it heads into final edits.
A feedback form will be added to sinkrpg.com when the document is released. We’re incredibly excited and can’t wait to hear your thoughts as we polish the final version!
Final PDF Delivery
Our current timeline has delivery of the final, fully designed PDF in July.
Shortly thereafter, we’ll begin delivering the rest of the digital rewards.
Physical Rewards
We’ll be sharing more detailed information about physical production and timelines as we begin delivering the digital files.
Please check out our discord channel where you can reach us directly, find a group to play with, show off your tattoos, and more! Hold fast, adventure is nearly upon us!
February Update

Playtest + Project Updates!
Ahoy backers! We are excited to share some updates, including the final playtest document.
Playtest Material 1.6
Check your Digital Downloads folder on Backerkit for the Playtest Material 1.6 document. This should be the final playtest document for SINK! Adventures on the Caldereach Sea.
This document contains all 50 magic item tattoos you'll find in the final book, including the only artifact of the setting, the Heart of Y'gathul Tattoo. This tattoo can only be worn by pledging your soul to Y'gathul. This power comes at a cost, but with it, you gain a powerful new class feature.
We're very excited about it and the rest of the tattoos. If you haven't already, please check it out and send us your feedback at sinkrpg.com/playtest!
Project Update
The files for SINK! Adventures on the Caldereach Sea are ready for editing! In full transparency, we hoped to use an editor that worked on Deep Grotto, but they were no longer available. We have contacted a few editors we trust and are ready to hand off files.
Many of the other products are in development as we speak. We are particularly excited for the miniature sets. The STL's we've seen so far perfectly represent the heroes and villains of the setting.
What's Next
By our next update, before the end of March, we hope to have a fully updated timeline. In the meantime, please check out our discord channel where you can reach us more directly, find a group to play with, show off your tattoos, and more!
