The new year is upon us so let’s get started. First off, I received comments on the free adventure of The Waterfall Cave for Shadowdark. Let it be known that I took those comments and criticism and made the corrections to it. Here is the release of Rev 1 for The Waterfall Cave. I hope you all enjoy it!

Being the new year, Cannibaal Publishing has a new product schedule to share with you all. Keep in mind that no plan survives contact with the enemy so it is subject to change lol. Here is the schedule as of now:

2026 release schedule for Cannibaal Publishing featuring upcoming titles and events for Shadowdark and World of Greyhawk.

Continuing with the Shadowdark content, Curse on a Coastal Town is almost ready. It is going through final editing and the maps are all that is left before heading to layout. This project has gone through many changes and I think you all will be pleased with it. It will be released in first quarter of 2026.

Next on the schedule would be the release of the Lenard Lakofka Archive module: Embassy to the Pale. it was submitted to the RPGA in 1981 for their gift catalogue and never before published. Featuring art by Del Teigeler, this module is amazing and we are happy to give it to you all to experience for yourselves. This was Lenard’s wish, for all to experience his works.

For the end of Spring, expect to see the newest release for the World of Greyhawk with the Telchuria Gazetteer. It was time someone expanded the world into this icy terrain and Cannibaal Publishing is here to deliver it to you, the fans, the players and the dungeon masters to use at your tables.

Cover art for the World of Greyhawk: Telchuria Gazetteer featuring three characters, including a blue-skinned figure, a robed character, and a man in fur clothing, surrounded by ornate borders.

And for Summer another installment of Greyhawk goodness will be The Return of the Dragon Queen. As mentioned in the 2024 Dungeons Masters Guide, one of the three pillars of evil that exist in the World of Greyhawk is Tiamat. Well this is how she escaped her fate and now roams free.

Cover art for 'The Dragon Queen Returns' featuring five colorful dragon heads, with a fantasy-themed background and ornate border.

Tomb of the Umbral King will also be arriving in late Summer for all you Shadowdark fans. This will be another anthology of adventures for Shadowdark set in the Western Reaches just southwest of Zine #2 area on the map.

Cover of 'Tomb of the Umbral King,' a Shadowdark adventure for levels 5-7, featuring a dark illustration of a throne adorned with ominous figures and symbols.

I hope you all are happy with what Cannibaal Publishing is offering so far this year. I will post updates if or probably when things change. We hope you all can come out and attend PAGE and participate in all the events and fun available there.

Very Respectfully,

Troy Alleman
