The fan publications of Deep Madness materials that have become official canon (Madness Reborn), see here the printable character guide. Bohen Black and the others led the way for this, but I am proud to have contributed the Chronology Guide within:

Here is the investigators guide as promised, (Albeit late), pretty much the same content as the last one that was released, but this has been reformatted to stay in line with the compendium that was released last year. And for convenience, I've included the Chronology of Scenarios which does reference the page numbers in the Compendium.
And of corse if you notice any issues please let me know so that I can update the file.
The three files here are: First, (Investigators guide 72.pdf) as the name suggests this is the content of this guide. Second, (Investigators Cover.1.pdf) this is for a hard cover version. And third (DM_Coil Bound_Cover_Character_Guide.jpg) is for the Coil bound version for those that prefer that.
This next part I nabbed from Phil Blake's post about Lulu.
Hardcover Printing Instructions for Lulu
Since this is a free, fan-made book, we are not morally or legally allowed to set up a print on demand distribution. Which means you will need to set up an account with a print on demand company and upload files for printing (for personal use only). The directions below are for the company Lulu, but you are free to use any print on demand company you choose.
- Go to lulu.com and create an account.
- Under the CREATE tab, click the PRINT BOOKS option.
- Click the button START YOUR PRINT BOOK
- Enter your login credentials
- In the START YOUR PROJECT section, choose PRINT BOOK
- In the SELECT YOUR GOAL section, choose PRINT YOUR BOOK. (Do NOT select Publish your book for sale on Amazon. You will get sued. )
- In the BOOK DETAILS section, enter a project title of your choice. I recommend Derailed Dimensions. Enter a language and CATEGORY, which is required; why not choose Gaming?
- Click the DESIGN YOUR PROJECT button at the bottom of the page to proceed to the Design page
- In the INTERIOR FILE UPLOAD section, upload the file named Investigators guide 72.pdf
- Wait for the file to upload and normalize. This may take a while.
- When the upload finishes, you will see some warnings. Like most warnings in life, feel free to ignore these.
- In the BOOK SPECIFICATIONS section, the BOOK SIZE AND PAGE COUNT should already be pre-filled.
- In the INTERIOR COLOR section, choose COLOR PREMIUM for the best quality color.
- In the PAPER TYPE section, choose 80# COATED WHITE for the best paper quality.
- In the BOOK BINDING section, choose HARDCOVER, or Coil.
- In the COVER FINISH section, choose GLOSSY or MATTE, your choice.
- Wait a moment for the PRINT COST to load. This is a printing fee for Lulu, and none of us receive a penny of this, nor does Dimension Games.
- In the DESIGN YOUR COVER section, make sure the UPLOAD COVER FILE option is selected.
- Upload the file named Investigators Cover.1, or DM_Coil Bound_Cover_Character_Guide, based on the binding preference you selected.
- After a minute, the PREVIEW will load. This preview will give you a basic idea of what the book will be like, but it is just a preview.
- When you are ready, click the REVIEW BOOK link at the bottom.
- This brings you to a page where you can review the final specifications. Click the checkbox next to CONFIRM BOOK SPECIFICATIONS AND FILES
- Click the ADD TO CART button when it becomes enabled
- Click the CART icon at the top of the page and make the purchase. The shipping will vary depending where you are located.
- There are almost always discount codes of at least 15% available online - do a quick search!
Feel free to print a copy for yourself or your friends, or even arrange a bulk buy to save on individual shipping, but DO NOT PRINT COPIES FOR SALE.
Note: The hardback book you receive from Lulu will not be perfect. There might be alignment issues with the binding, scratches, the interior margins might be tight, and the endsheets will be a boring white.
