Delving Deeper V1 Boxed Set

A second post in the short history of DD: this one about the DD V1 Boxed Set.

The Boxed Set

Shortly after #DelvingDeeper appeared in PDF format Brave Halfling Press launched the Delving Deeper boxed set, in December 2012, as the physical manifestation of the #DelvingDeeper project.

I don’t personally own a set, but have gathered the following from public information posted by the producer and fans who own sets.

The Box

The whole product was packaged in an excellent, digest-sized box entitled “Delving Deeper” with the subtitle “Original Edition Roleplaying Game” and featured super impressive cover art by Mark Allen.

Five Booklets

The content of the #DelvingDeeper Boxed Set by Brave Halfling Press comprised five saddle-stapled, digest-sized booklets entitled:

  • Volume I: Forging a Hero, 28pp
  • Volume II: Codex of the Divine and the Arcane, 36pp
  • Volume III: Index of the Fiendish and the Malign, 44pp
  • Volume IV: Vault of Treasures, 24pp
  • Volume V: Delving Deeper and Blazing New Trails, 38pp
Five booklets and the box

The #DelvingDeeper boxed set booklets were a re-organised presentation of #DelvingDeeperReferenceRules V1 content. The tables generally looked nicer and, unlike the #DelvingDeeperReferenceRules, the Delving Deeper boxed set booklets were fully illustrated by Mark Allen.

The back cover of each booklet states “Special Limited Edition Boxed Set – December 2012”.

Bundled Freebies

Brave Halfling Press bundled various freebies with the Delving Deeper boxed set throughout the course of its pre-ordering and fulfillment, including those pictured below:
