Adventurers,

We're entering the final stretch.
 
The last 48 hours of the Legends of Akeroth campaign are almost upon us, and before we cross that threshold, we wanted to unveil something we've been crafting in secret.

Approximately 100 cards, each one featuring custom pixel art, and each one showcasing an item from the world of Erwick - weapons, potions, artifacts, treasures, and tools that will shape your adventures.

These cards are a tactile extension of the game, bringing the items of Akeroth into your hands with gorgeous pixel art that captures the spirit of the JRPG-inspired world we've built together.

Whether you want to shuffle through a physical deck at your table or print exactly what you need, when you need it, the choice is yours.

If you've backed at the Collector's Edition or Artisan Edition tier, the Equipment Card Deck is already included in your pledge at no additional cost.

For all other backers, the deck is available right now as an add-on to your pledge. Any tier. Any backer. Just add them before the campaign closes.

The Cards aren't the end of our announcements today. Something else is coming. Take a look:

The final 48 hours are almost here, and we have a few more surprises waiting before we close the gates. Don't miss what's coming.

Thank you for every moment of this journey. Let's finish this together.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️

Adventurers,

You did it. £160,000 unlocked!

The Monk and the Witch are now officially part of Legends of Akeroth. Two powerful new classes with two distinct playstyles, and countless new ways to build your hero and explore the kingdom of Erwick.

The Monk brings martial discipline, spiritual focus, and devastating unarmed combat to the battlefield. Masters of body and mind, Monks channel inner energy to perform incredible feats of agility, endurance, and precision.

The Witch commands ancient magic and arcane forces, weaving spells that blur the line between the natural and supernatural. With deep connections to old powers and forgotten rituals, the Witch offers a darker, more mystical approach to magic.

These classes are now part of every backer's experience. Thank you for making this happen.

But today isn't just about celebrating what you've unlocked. We also want to show you something special we've been working on...

In Legends of Akeroth, Rangers who choose the Beastmaster job have the unique ability to bond with creature companions who fight alongside them, grow stronger through shared experiences, and become lifelong partners on the journey through Erwick.

And it all begins with a choice.

When you start your adventure as a Beastmaster, you'll choose one of three starter partners - creatures native to Erwick who will join you from the very beginning and evolve alongside your character.

🌿 Sobulb - A plant-based creature with gentle energy and surprising resilience. The Sobulb may look harmless, but it thrives in harsh conditions and rewards patient trainers with powerful growth and supportive abilities. Perfect for Rangers who value endurance and adaptability.

🔥 Axolitt - A fiery amphibian with fierce energy and unwavering determination. The Axolitt burns bright with inner flame and thrives in heated environments, making it ideal for adventurers who expect to travel through volcanic regions, deserts, and scorching terrains. Its aggressive abilities make it a formidable offensive companion.

💧 Carapage - A sturdy, armored crablike creature with defensive instincts and aquatic mastery. The Carapage protects its partner with natural shell defenses and excels in water-rich environments. For Rangers who want a reliable, tank-like companion that thrives in rivers, coasts, and oceans, the Carapage is the perfect choice.

Each starter partner has unique abilities, different growth paths, and distinct personalities. As you adventure together, your bond deepens, your partner evolves, and new abilities will unlock.

The Beastmaster job is all about connection; the bond between Ranger and creature, the trust built through shared trials, and the growth that comes from facing the world together. Your starter partner is more than a tool or a summon. They're a companion, a friend, and a core part of your story.

Which partner would you choose? Comment below for 100XP!

Choose wisely. Adventure together. Grow stronger as one.

£160K is behind us. The Monk and Witch are unlocked. And now we're closing in on £175K; the Natural Six actual play one-shot.

Let's keep this momentum going. The final stretch is here, and we're not slowing down!

Thank you for everything you've achieved in this campaign. This is your world as much as it is ours.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️
