Arcanis: Cradle of Empires KickStarter is now LIVE!

Since many of these characters tended to show up AFTER the Crusade (the undead characters, the val’Vasiks, and the Brood specifically) as part of the First City Arc, I think it is a fair assumption to use the 1.5 cert rules.

Hello,

I’m working on it and have Sorcerous Pacts pretty close to going to layout, but not yet.

As far as the book is concerned, please remember that it’s not scheduled for release until September. Barring any hiccups with the artists, we should meet that date.

As soon as I have something concrete to announce, I’ll do so post haste.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but –

I received a Val’Vasik character from the Kickstarter, but there are no instructions on the starting region. I would assume Bastion, but Unsealed Lands is listed in the Campaign Guide as a starting region you can’t choose.

Beyond that, it looks great and I look forward to creating the character. It has taken me a while to get around to this.

I completely agree with Cody.

Your val’Vasik would have been born and raised in Bastion. Which means you may now take it as a starting nation for the val’Vasik character only. The cert does mention Milander becoming an adoptive nation to the val’Vasik and the Blessed lands Arc starts approximately 1 year later, so I too would say you could pick Milander as an alternative starting nation. But Unsealed lands: Bastion is a much better choice IMO.

As it has been a month since Sorcerous Pacts was released and your new Kickstarter has just begun, would it be possible to get an update on the outstanding items for this Kickstarter? Aside from the Blessed Lands book there are the maps, land grant certs, Kio book, Ssethregore book, and likely a few other things I’ve forgotten.

Will backers get access to the Blessed Lands pdf before it goes to print? We might be able to reduce the amount of eratta needed if players can review the document for a few weeks before it is sent to the printer.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you for the prompt response Henry. I understand that you don’t want to commit to any firm deadlines in the event of further delays, but are you able to give us a rough estimate for the pdf release? Is it weeks away, or months? Should we expect to see it before the end of the year?

Thanks again

Based on experience, I’m confident that Henry and Team Paradigm will deliver wonderful products in the form of the Blessed Lands book and the other results of the Kickstarter. Even though I’ve been looking forward to it for a while, I don’t mind waiting a little longer to get the sort of quality book they know how to produce. There are plenty of other old-timers here on the forum who know what I mean, but I want to encourage newcomers that your patience will pay off. Henry and most other contributors have day jobs and lives outside of making RPGs, and I appreciate how much time they all put into crafting wonderful stories and sharing them with us.

Hello Dean,

But in the spirit of Halloween can we Trick or Treat for a teaser

How can I turn away a supplicant at my door asking for a treat.

I’ve just posted an update in the Kickstarter that I hope you find a treat rather than a trick.

Let me know what you think.
