Dwimmermount (ACKS version)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The gates of Dwimmermount have opened. After years of rumors, it is time to discover the secrets of this vast mountain fortress for yourself…

Dwimmermount™ is a classic megadungeon and old-school campaign setting presented use with Adventurer Conqueror King System™ and other d20-based fantasy role-playing games.

The 400-page Dwimmermount hardcover includes:

  • 13 mapped, keyed, and stocked dungeon levels containing a total of 715 fully-described and detailed encounter areas for players and their characters to discover – with random tables to generate even more!
  • 86 monsters and 70 magic items to confound, challenge, and reward your players.
  • 6 pre-generated adventuring parties to serve as rivals for your player characters.
  • A gazetteer of the lands surrounding Dwimmermount, with realms, domains, and settlements described using ACKS mechanics to support a campaign endgame.
  • An overview of Muntburg, a fortified town nestled in the shadows of Dwimmermount, intended to serve as a “home base” for the player characters between expeditions into the dungeon's depths.
  • A history of the dungeon from its earliest days to the present, with innovative mechanics that reward the characters for learning the secrets of the past.
  • Descriptions of numerous factions operating within and without the dungeon, whose activities add a further layer of complexity to Dwimmermount.
  • Discussions of ways to approach Dwimmermount, both as a player and as a referee, including insight into the dungeon's origins and design.
  • Over 40 different works by top artists including Jeff Dee, Mark Allen, Eric Quigely, Conor Nolan, John Larrey, Steve Zieser, Russ Nicholson, Kelvin Green, and the grand master of old-school fantasy, Erol Otus.

In the Golden Age of fantasy roleplaying, the dungeon was the linchpin of adventure design and the sandbox was the assumed role of a campaign setting. With Dwimmermount, the Golden Age has returned.

I'd love to see a KickStarter in the future for an Imperial Imprint version.
I cry in the fetal position when I think about that I missed out on getting this in hardcover.

Since we are no longer using the Open Game License, that would be difficult. I'd have to re-negotiate the rights with James Mal.

Not any more. Dwimmermount is entirely packed with material based on the Open Game License, including all of its new monsters, which were direct adaptations of AD&D monsters. :(

A number of folks have asked about whether we'd do a re-print -- there's no current plans to do so but I definitely have noticed there's some demand.

I'd definitely be interested, I was about to ask on the Discord about this. Whether it is POD, a KS, or whatever, I'd like to get my hands on it in hardcopy.

That'd be awesome. Long pdfs are basically unusable for me at the table, so I printed the book in my home printer and had a friend coil-bound it for me. It's... serviceable, but awkward and ugly as sin -- not what this book deserves. I'd be quite interested in purchasing a proper hardcopy.

Hi there. Just wondering if there are any news regarding getting this product back in print, whether as POD (my choice - the other ACKS PODs are great) or as the offset print that was suggested last year. Maybe even the other Dwimmermount products too (like the dungeon tracker)...

I return to you now at the turning of the age...to ask if there are any updates to the possibility of crowdfunding an offset run for this? Cheers, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi there. Any plans to reissue this as a POD hardcover? or series of smaller volumes? Would love to own this in print but the secondary market is insane right now.

Hi Chris, there's no current plan to reissue POD but we have talked about doing a small crowdfunding campaign to fund a new offset run, perhaps a leatherbound deluxe book or somesuch.

I have just re-downloaded this again, and for the record, the bookmarks are fixed. (There is a VERY minor issue where the Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 bookmarks point to the beginning of Section 1, but sub-marks still all work correctly.)

I have downloaded the new version of the file (with the reported updated bookmarks) and I still only get the bookmarks for Chapter 1.

Just (finally) picked this up. At the moment, the PDF bookmarks only cover part of Chapter 1. As this is a 400-odd page PDF, the lack of functional bookmarks is something of an impediment to reading.

Patrick, can you please reach out to me at orders@autarch.co with a link to the file that DTRPG sent you as well as the Adobe/PDF reader you are using? I've just reviewed the file on my Dropbox and all of the bookmarks are present and functional. Thanks for alerting me to the issue you've having.

This was originally on sale for the May D&D sale but now I see that it isn't. Is this meant to be on sale or not? I am hoping to pick up some more OSR material during this sale and I was eyeing a couple of ACKS products but if they aren't on sale I'll wait for now and get the discounted items I was considering first.

That was my mistake! I was trying to edit and update all the books and I accidentally deleted the discounts. I'll get this fixed ASAP. You should be able to buy the discounted book in about 10 minutes.

Should any more development / expansions be done for Dwimmermount i assume that these will be for ACKS first?
I'd like to prevent ending up with books for different systems:-)

We developed Dwimmermount in a partnership with the original author. It's not likely we will create new supplements for that setting, though he might!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
