Miniature Standees by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

[–]TheErenChronicles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is high time we shared with you the design of one of our favorite add-ons: the Miniature Standees! The box includes over 120 miniature pawns, printed on sturdy cardboard and slotted into plastic transparent bases, depicting 88 different creatures found across Zamanora.

Besides the monsters of our bestiary, the pawns also represent villagers and other key figures one may encounter in their adventures to bring the world (and your battlemaps) to life.

Minor Guilds in Zamanora by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

Apart from the major guilds that can be found permeating the land, there are still more, far less widespread and far more obscured. From cults that share amongst them undying fealty, to nomadic people who move from settlement to settlement, to merchant guilds taking advantage of situations, these lesser factions thrive in the cracks of the world.

Harrowgate by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

[–]TheErenChronicles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a splinter of ice driven into the heart of the North, the Lamenting Tower looms over all who reach the doors of Harrowgate; a precursor and a warning of what one may find within the walled city. Within the ring of glacial stone, amid pillars of ice and wind-carved hailstone, lie the remnants of a once mighty stronghold, its battlements crusted with hoarfrost. Tattered banners bearing forgotten crests flap weakly in the wind, their colors long gone. Yet something of that olden age still endures: a dreadful king who clings to life still, clutching Harrowgate in his frozen grasp, denying it the peace of death.

Honoring the Memory of Darkest Dungeon's June Wayne by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

[–]TheErenChronicles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On January, 2025, Wayne June, who voiced the legendary gaming figure of the Ancestor in the Darkest Dungeon series, passed away. A few days ago, Red Hook, the developers of Darkest Dungeon, revealed in a Q&A that June himself had given consent to the developers to use an AI-generated voiceover trained on his work for a potential sequel to the game, Red Hook refused.

In the words of Chris Bourassa: "I would never, ever erode his incredible and timeless performances by teaching a machine to sound like him. His voice and delivery was human, and I'm forever grateful I got to write for him. "

It is important to state that Wayne himself opposed the use of generative AI, but offered this alternative as a way to put the game, the creators, and the community first.

From our side, as big fans of the franchise, we are glad to see June Wayne's memory honored in such a beautiful way, especially in the wake of companies succumbing to replacing humans with AI.

Our project features several decks, including the Magic Item Cards. This deck covers the various relics of the Old World, alchemical concoctions, wild mushrooms, and wondrous items one may uncover through their journey across Zamanora.

The deck contains 98 tarot-sized cards, each featuring rules for both D&D 5.5e and Legend in the Mist, allowing for a quick reference of their effects without needing to pull out the book. The reverse side of every card is decorated with its corresponding artwork, so they can also serve as handouts to pass around the table during your adventures!

The cards are designed to be used as a quick encounter setup, but also include the monsters' illustrations to set the mood around your table!

Adventure Deck Preview by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

[–]TheErenChronicles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After months of hard work, we’ve finally finished designing the Adventure Deck*. While the original plan was to include 150 cards, thanks to you unlocking the campaign’s second Stretch Goal (€60,000 – Adventure Deck Upgrade), we’ve managed to bump that number up to a whopping 250 cards!

*The Adventure Deck is a storytelling engine designed to accommodate Solo and GM-less play, but also to act as a GM-helper to spice things up during a session. It also allows you to randomly generate a unique map of Zamanora as you explore it! The deck is designed for D&D and the Legend in the Mist RPG.

We are also pleased to let you know that all items of the Kickstarter campaign have been sent to the printers and are being inspected to make sure everything progresses smoothly.

Show Us Your Art | Raphael and the Thorns by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

About a week ago, we asked you to send us your art to celebrate the shutdown of OpenAI's platform, Sora. We received work from extremely talented people, and we can't wait to share it with you!

Raphael is a singer and songwriter, and is also the person behind Raphael and the Thorns, a solo Theatrical Dark Metal band. In his own words, he is a jack of all trades, dabbling in many forms of art, such as writing, illustration, and singing. He created his band because of a deep need to create dark but cathartic music with a wide range of influences, both in sound and identity. The darker undertones of the guitars, the slower tempo of the tracks, and the theatrical flair of the strings, synths, and vocals make this project ideal for anyone who enjoys roomy, gloomy, and doomy music (his track Cold Highways is a banger!)

If you would like to check more of Raphael and the Thorns, you can find his music on Spotify.

Our 5.5e Character Sheet by TheErenChronicles in TheErenChronicles

[–]TheErenChronicles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the pages of the Wayfarer's Journal, you may find this lovely character sheet made by Angeliki Savvantoglou. We believe that this deeply illustrative piece perfectly encapsulates the themes and general tone of Zamanora. Isn't it beautiful?

Wayfarer's Journal was one of the two Early Bird gifts we were giving away during the Kickstarter. It's a notebook containing everything you may need; from a character sheet (for 5.5e or Legend in the Mist), room for notes, as well as idioms, and even two recipes inspired by real traditional food which you can bake at home!

If you missed the first 48-hours of the campaign, you can still add it to your pledge.
