Big news: Legends of Akeroth is now in Beta!

We're moving way faster than we expected with this game, and the momentum has been incredible! We're so excited to keep refining and expanding the world of Erwick.

Over the last 2 weeks of playtesting Ash has written and sent out 20 versions of the Alpha so it has now moved the game officially into Beta with all new layout to better depict how the final book will look internally! This brings us one step closer to a final version.

All the Core Rulebook based stretch goals have also been completed which is huge for the game and means the timeline Ash had in mind for Core is speeding along.

Adventurers,

Overtime has officially begun, and you're already making magic happen.

Thanks to your incredible support in these final hours, we've unlocked two amazing additions to Legends of Akeroth:

✨ Melody/Limit Break Coins - Now Available as an Add-On!

These beautiful physical coins represent your character's most powerful moments - their limit breaks, their crescendos, their defining acts of heroism.
Flip the coin and unleash your limit break. It's a small detail that makes those heroic moments feel even more impactful at the table.

Melody/Limit Break Coins are now available as an add-on for any backer who wants to bring that extra tactile satisfaction to their game!

🧚 Wisp Rules - Mischievous Creatures Join the Adventure!

Mischievous little creatures hidden throughout Erwick are now part of the game!

Wisps are playful, tricky beings who live in the shadows, forests, and forgotten corners of Akeroth. They're not hostile, but they're not entirely helpful either. Wisps love games, riddles, puzzles, and tests of wit.
Encounter one in your travels, and you'll be offered a challenge.

Complete their trials? You might earn a blessing, a treasure, or a piece of hidden knowledge.
Fail? Well... let's just say Wisps have a sense of humor, and they're not above a little mischief at your expense!
The Wisp rules add a layer of whimsy and unpredictability to exploration in Legends of Akeroth. They reward clever players, punish the overconfident, and make the world feel alive with hidden magic.

Wisps are now part of every backer's experience. Keep your eyes open as you travel through Erwick; you never know when a Wisp might be watching.

24 Hours of Overtime = Fields of Erwick Unlocks 🌾

Fields of Erwick - A Standalone Solo RPG Zine

Fields of Erwick is a solo journaling RPG designed for players who want to step away from combat and adventure and immerse themselves in the cosy, meditative life of a farmer, rancher, or fisher in the kingdom of Erwick.

You'll:
🌾 Plant and harvest crops through the seasons
🐄 Raise and care for animals on your ranch
🎣 Fish in peaceful streams and rivers
🏡 Build and expand your homestead over time
📖 Journal your character's quiet life and personal growth

There's no combat. No quests. No danger. Just you, your land, and the slow, satisfying rhythm of rural life in Akeroth. Fields of Erwick is perfect for winding down after a long day.

This is a standalone zine, which means that you don't need the Core Rulebook to play it -  though it is set in the same world and shares the same aesthetic and tone. It's a complete experience on its own.

What You Get When We Unlock It:

• Every backer receives the PDF for free when we unlock Fields of Erwick 
• Collector's Edition and Artisan Edition backers receive a free printed copy included in their pledge
• All other backers can add the physical copy to their pledge as an add-on

How You Can Help

Every action during overtime brings us closer to unlocking Fields of Erwick:

✅ Add Melody Coins or other add-ons to your pledge - Every add-on keeps momentum alive
✅ Upgrade your tier - Moving from Digital to Core, or Book to Table, helps sustain overtime
✅ Share the campaign - Know someone who'd love a cosy solo RPG? Tell them about Fields of Erwick!
✅ Spread the word - Post about Legends of Akeroth, Fields of Erwick, or the Melody Coins on social media

Every pledge, every upgrade, and every addition counts toward keeping overtime alive for 24 hours!

This Is the Final Stretch

Overtime won't last forever. These are the final hours of Legends of Akeroth, and we're making every moment count.

You've already unlocked Melody Coins and Wisp Rules. You've pushed this campaign to heights we never imagined. And now, Fields of Erwick is within reach.

Thank you for everything you've achieved. Let's finish strong together.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️
