The Loot community has completed a 578-page fantasy anthology titled LOOT (For Adventurers), featuring 48 stories from 23 authors who built a shared world from the original on-chain text list.​

Key Details:

  • Five years in development, starting from Loot's 2021 launch as randomized item lists
  • Public domain work: "Created by all, owned by none"
  • First copies now in readers' hands
  • Softcover edition opens to public July 27
  • Special hand-bound editions being commissioned from rebinding artists using leather and thread

The project demonstrates how a community transformed a simple smart contract containing item names into a collaborative literary work, with most contributors never meeting in person.​

Beyond the print run in soft and hardcover, a few copies are being bound by hand. Special editions for the contributing authors and others are being commissioned from rebinding artists who work in leather and thread to bring Loot to life as the spellbinding book it deserves.
