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...
Meet Your Starter Partners - The Beastmaster's Companions
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.
Meet the trio:
🌿 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.
Your Journey, Your Partner
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.

Choose wisely. Adventure together. Grow stronger as one.

But as we enter the final days of the campaign, there's something else we need to talk about.
Introducing: Swoovik's Revenge
A brand new one-shot adventure featuring Erwick's most beloved, most chaotic, most inexplicably powerful creature - the Swoose.
Remember Dravik's Revenge? Our epic adventure designed to take you from levels 1-10? Well, we've done something special. We’ve taken that classic cover and completely redrawn it with every single character as a Swoose.
Heroes? Swooses. Villains? Swooses. Epic showdown? All Swooses.
It's ridiculous. It's beautiful. It's everything you didn't know you needed.
What You're Getting:
📜 A Complete One-Shot Adventure - Playable solo or with a group 🦢 7 New Swoose Waymates - Fully formed companions ready to join your adventures ⚔️ Swoovik Boss Battle Statblock - Face the legendary Swoovik in epic combat
This is pure, unadulterated Swoose chaos in adventure form. Whether you're running it as a one-shot with friends or tackling it solo, Swoovik's Revenge delivers the kind of absurd, heroic storytelling that only the Swoose can provide.
This Is an Overtime Exclusive
Swoovik's Revenge is available during the end of the campaign. Once the campaign ends, it won’t be available at the same price again. If you want to add it to your pledge, now's the time!
Have any questions? Here’s the great Swoose himself to answer your queries!
Want Some Bonus XP?

Thank you all for making this campaign legendary. Now go forth and embrace the chaos.
You've unlocked Pets & Mounts! Creatures to bond with, and the ability to travel across Erwick with loyal mounts by your side; it's all yours.
The momentum you've built is incredible. Sanctum, base building, pets, mounts, and more; every goal you've unlocked makes Legends of Akeroth richer and more complete.
But we're not done yet. There are still incredible stretch goals on the horizon, and we wanted to give you a glimpse of what's coming.
The Road Ahead:
£150K - One More Multiverse VTT Integration
Bringing Erwick to life in pixel form, with a built-in character creator, map builder, and more! Free for all Core Rulebook backers. We're so close!
£160K - Two New Classes: The Monk & The Witch
Introducing two powerful new additions to expand your options at the table. The Monk brings martial discipline for powerful hand to hand combat, while The Witch commands arcane forces from a higher power. Which will you choose?
And now…
We've been holding onto this one, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal it. And now, it's time to show you what's waiting at £175,000!
This is a big one.
At £175K: A Two-Episode Adventure by Natural Six!
That's right. The incredible team at Natural Six is returning to the world of Akeroth to create a two-episode actual play one shot for Legends of Akeroth when we hit £175,000!
If you're not familiar with Natural Six, they're an incredible actual play group featuring video game industry professionals, including the voices behind Geralt from The Witcher (Doug Cockle), Clive from Final Fantasy XVI (Ben Starr), and Rook from Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Alex Jordan).
Natural Six has performed live at PAX East and MCM Comic Con, and built a passionate community through their YouTube series and Patreon.
Natural Six also played Drakonym recently, and the response from our community was incredible. Watching these talented performers bring dragon/rider bonds to life and navigate the emotional depth of the system was everything we hoped for and more.
When we started planning Legends of Akeroth, we knew we wanted them back.
What You're Getting
This two-episode actual play will showcase Legends of Akeroth in action. You'll see the mechanics come to life, watch skilled players navigate the kingdom of Erwick, and experience the kind of storytelling that makes Natural Six so amazing firsthand.
But wait, there’s more!
Not only will you be getting a one shot by these talented creators, but we will be releasing the characters they create as waymates for your own campaigns! The characters in these episodes will be yours to use, complete with everything you need to bring them along on your own adventures.
We're So Close
Each of these goals are within reach. You've carried this campaign further than we ever dreamed, and we're not stopping now. Let's unlock them all, and bring Natural Six back to the world of Akeroth!
Thank you all for pushing these stretch goals, and making Legends of Akeroth into something truly extraordinary.
