What You've Just Unlocked at £90K:
✨ UV Spot Book Sleeves - Both slipcases will be upgraded to include some stunning Spot UV! 📜 Handouts - Immersive in-game handouts to bring your sessions to life, such as guild posters, monster quests and more!
These join the 10 stretch goals you've already smashed through, including:
New Kin: the Skelly, the inimitable Swoose, and the Ursin
New Classes: the Tinkerer and the Telepath
Airship Rules

We're not slowing down either. The next stretch goal is £95,000 and if you can reach that, we will unlock Durability & Smithing! This means an entirely new set of rules will be added to introduce durability and weapon breaking to your game.

Last Chance to Reserve! You only have 48 hours left to reserve your pledge for £5!
If you reserve and then back at any level you get access to two new adventure modules; one for solo play and one for group settings!
If you pledge at a physical tier then you also get the Kero Acrylic Keychain and one of the four Pins: The Great Expanse.
Remember: If you do reserve, you also get your £5 back as credit during the pledge manager stage so everything above is free!
Anyone who misses out don't worry, you can get the reservation items as pledge add-ons but they will at their full value so to save over £40 GBP/$54 USD before the campaign even starts then be sure to reserve before it's too late!

One week left, adventurers… Will we see you on the other side?
Valentine's Day is this weekend, and we thought, what better time to talk about romance in Legends of Akeroth?
💕 Announcing: Romance Rules
Players become heroes through daring deeds, epic adventures and hard-fought battles. But during all of that, they also meet incredible people, form connections and build relationships. Sometimes, they may even fall in love...
We're excited to announce that Legends of Akeroth will include Romance Rules - mechanics designed to help you cultivate meaningful relationships with NPCs in both solo and group play!
What These Rules Will Do:
Provide structure for building genuine connections with characters you meet
Track the development of relationships over time
Create memorable moments of emotional depth
Work seamlessly whether you're playing solo or with a group
Add another layer of storytelling to your hero's journey
We're still working on the specifics, but the heart of it is simple: relationships matter. The bonds your hero forms, romantic or otherwise, should feel real, earned, and significant to your story.
Whether it's:
The childhood friend who becomes something more
The rival whose conflict sparks into passion
The companion met on the road who understands you like no one else
The unexpected connection that changes everything
...these rules will help you tell those stories with depth and meaning.
❤️ More details coming soon, but we wanted to share this now because, well, it's Valentine's Day and love is in the air!
