Open My LibraryThe shared world
Each book stands alone.
Together, they echo.
“In the act of creation, the One was wounded. Creation bears the Wound. Sin deepens it; mercy heals it.”
Borrow a single bottle, a dangerous heirloom, or a place on the coast. Or follow their connections across a world of fallen crowns, sacred remains, bargains, and nameless things. None of the books requires you to own another.

A few useful answers
Do I need the other Black Books?
No. Every Black Book stands alone. The shared world and cross-book connections are optional enrichment, not required purchases.
Which game system are they for?
Potions and Relics provide 5e rules. Settlements & Wild Places is being developed as a system-neutral location toolkit.
What does my reward include?
Your campaign reward determines your PDF, cards, Codex, and print-on-demand benefits. Consult the reward you selected; a preview is not ownership of another book.
Does a POD code include a printed book?
A print-on-demand code provides access to the eligible offer on DriveThruRPG. Printing and shipping are paid separately; the code is not free printing or free delivery.
How do I enter Codex?
Sign in with the email linked to your book access. If you need an email correction or cannot see an expected book, contact contact@deepark.games. Different email addresses are not automatically merged.
What are the free cross-book previews?
Owners of either released Black Book can explore five selected entries from the other book. The five potion previews include their direct ingredient references. Previews do not grant downloads, POD offers, or package ownership.
Where are my digital rewards?
Delivery follows your campaign reward and release updates. My Library shows your book benefits and available actions; if a digital file has not been connected there yet, use the delivery instructions from the campaign or contact us.
When will Settlements & Wild Places launch?
It is in development, with 160 planned locations across ten regions. Final formats, pricing, release dates, and delivery details will be announced when confirmed.
