Hello 2026 + EDIT is COMPLETE + Eluran Language and Player's Guide PDFs
about 2 months ago – Thu, Jan 22, 2026 at 10:35:59 AM

Hello Humblewood fans! We are all back and settled in from our long winter's break and have been working away at finishing up Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy! Let's get into the updates, shall we?

Editing Stage: COMPLETE

That's right, the book has been completely edited and is now in the hands of the graphic design team to polish it up and make it look good. The bulk of what remains to be designed is the adventure, and it is coming along. Barring any unexpected hiccups, we expect to have a final PDF in your inboxes by early February, at the same time that we send final files to our manufacturers to start the manufacturing process. Here are a couple more art pieces going into the adventure that we thought you'd like:

Amulet of Ostelo - Victoria Jeffrey

Golden Suneater by Erika Taguchi

Frozen Butterfly by Erika Taguchi

PDF Releases: Guide to the Eluran Language and HW: Beyond the Canopy Player's Guide

Heading your way on Backer Kit as this update goes live are two new digital rewards: A deep dive into the language of the Elurans, and a trimmed down Beyond the Canopy Player's Guide, perfect for sharing with your players before diving into the campaign.

Guide to the Eluran Language PDF

Learn to speak Eluran, a brand new language and alphabet inspired by the sounds that cats of all sizes make. Linguist and writer Jay Jackson really did their research on this, it is very in depth and we think would add some fun flavor to your games.

Beyond the Canopy Player's Guide PDF

The Player's Guide is a spoiler-free document that you can share with your players to help them get ready for the campaign without spoiling any of it. We've got abridged lore about the world and all the player facing content so they can start thinking about their characters right away. Let us know what you think!

===

Big Bads: Most Wanted is coming to Kickstarter!

It's your turn to be the BIG BAD. This second compiled boss monster bestiary for 5e D&D has over 25 Big Bads with full backstories, adventure hooks, minions, statblocks and more!

PLUS: If you're thinking of leaving the Big Bad Bureau, you can try and fill more sinister shoes by joining G.E.I.S.T. (Great Evil Inciting Supervillainous Threats) and become a Big Bad yourself!

Get notified when it launches!

Happy Glowingtide! + Art Reveals
3 months ago – Thu, Dec 18, 2025 at 08:28:27 AM

With 2025 coming to a close, it's time for the last update until 2026! Thank you for all your support and feedback this year, Humblewood: Beyond the Canopy couldn't exist without all of you!

Heart of Ice Campaign Update + ART!

The final editing of the Heart of Ice campaign is chugging along. Art is being finalized, and the final pages are being assembled as elements are completed. Our initial aim was to have the final PDF in your hands before the end of the year, but to make sure we get you the best version possible, we'll be getting it to you near the end of January 2026 instead. In the meantime, we are excited to share some artwork with you all from key scenes and characters in the campaign.

The 12 Days of Glowingtide is Happening NOW

Glowingtide is back again with 12 magical days of gifts over on Hit Point Press's website! Every day we are releasing a new, FREE downloadable gift as a thank you for another great year. Check out the already-released gifts HERE and keep checking back for new gifts daily right up until December 24th.

Merry Glowingtide!

Hit Point Press Holiday Office Closure

The Hit Point Press office will be closed for the holidays from Saturday, December 20, 2025, to Monday, January 5, 2026. All support inquiries received during this time will be addressed when we are back at our desks.

Thank you all for an amazing 2025, and we’ll see you in the new year!
