Dwimmermount - That's All He Wrote!

I’m in for a copy once it shows up. No hesitation.

Over two years ago, I foolhardily leaped into combining ACKS, Dwimmermount and the Known World/Mystara. The three go together very well. I used the backer drafts for (Labyrinth Lord) Dwimmermount, converting to ACKS as needed.

The final LL Dwimmermount and nearing final ACKS Dwimmermount are an absolute beauty and joy!

Congratulations to all involved, and especially Alex, for a tremendous job well-done!!

I would not be playing ACKS were it not for Dwimmermount; I am pleased that it is finally done (though I’ve been running it for a year now ^_^)

So, the ACKS product - I was poking around at old links and the KS page.

I take it the surrounding settlements and such (Muntburg?) will be ACKS-ified and whatnot? To what level? Trade modifiers and such? Stronghold values/composition, garrison numbers and types?

IIRC, it’s using the old Outdoor Survival map?

I am continually wanting to pry more out of ACKS, I’m moving to the position that Dwimmermount, as a smaller scale than what would presumably be in the Auran Empire book, would be a good reference for what I’ve been setting up for my own use (and stuff I’ve been converting to ACKS for the heck of it). Plus it’s almost available.

The PDF product is the book and a map?

In the ACKS version you get detailed domain characteristics for the entire realm of Adamas (which includes Muntburg), as well as top-level summaries of every named settlement (# of families, income, stronghold value, market class, etc.) and complete demand modifiers and trade routes for the entire region.

I’m going to buy Dwimmermount and then rip it apart, never speaking the name Dwimmermount, but copying wholesale various portions of the dungeon and surrounding environs whenever I don’t feel like mapping or statting something. My players will never know the meticulous detail isn’t mine unless they click this thread

That sounds like a plan.

Hi Autarchs. I just visited DriveThruRPG to see if this was available yet… and it is… but only the LL version. Is the ACKS version pending?

Congratulations!

Woot! Woot!

I am eagerly awaiting the ACKS version. Any new information on when it will be available would be great. (Given that we are a couple weeks past “end of august” now.)

The last Kickstarter update said ACKS Dwimmer would be on sale on DriveThruRPG Friday the 26th.

For those who may be interested, I am reposting an update to Dwimmermount backers:

Good evening, Dwimmermountaineers!

I am pleased to report the Dwimmermount Dungeon Tracker is finished. If you backed Dwimmermount at the $25 level or higher, you will have received an email this afternoon with a private link to download the Dwimmermount Dungeon Tracker PDF.

For the 125 elite backers who will be getting a hard copy of the DDT (uh…wow, bad acronym), it’ll be arriving in the mail in about three weeks. We sent the file to our printer late last week; from the printer it will go to GameSalute and then to you.

I am also pleased to report that ACKS Dwimmermount is completed. We will be mailing a final PDF of the book to all $10+ backers on Wednesday, October 1st. We expect to receive a proof back from the printer October 6th and, assuming there are no problems, we will begin processing for shipment on October 7th.

Once ACKS Dwimmermount reaches our backers, the Dwimmermount Kickstarter will be officially wrapped up. I recommend that you have 3 months of food, a water purifier, and a respirator on hand for that event, because I really thought an EMP burst was more likely during some of the darker days.

Thanks for your patience and happy gaming!

Best regards,

PS The Dwimmermount Dungeon Tracker will go on sale on DrivethruRPG on October 3rd, and ACKS Dwimmermount will go on sale on DTRPG on October 8th. By end of November, most of our products will be available for print-on-demand via DTRPG as well.

Good to hear! I’ll mark my calendar.

YEA BOI

that means there’ll be a new ACKS kickstarter soon, right?

I’ve always wanted to kick a start

Yes! Soon. When my Sanity Points recover.

The ACKS version is on RPGNow; thus scheduling my lunch hours for the next couple weeks.

I bought it!

Bought! Looking good, if a bit overwhelming :slight_smile:

Is there (or will there soon be) a “Dwimmermount complete pack” so that we can be sure we’re getting everything? Or even just a list? So far I’ve discovered:

Dwimmermount itself
Dungeon tracker
Map pack
Art pack

Is there anything more? How much redundancy is there between them? (e.g., Does the main book include all the maps, making the map pack more of a “you only need this if you buy the print version” accessory?) If I want to actually run a party through Dwimmermount, is the core book enough to do that or are the add-ons completely necessary to do so?
