Adventurer Conqueror King System II Treasure Tome Passes 1000% Kickstarter Funding

Autarch LLC is in the midst of a very successful run to crowdfund the Adventurer Conqueror King System II Treasure Tome. The 256 page compendium will include over one thousand new magic items for ACKS II and other OSR systems. The Kickstarter is over 1000% funded and you can reserve a copy of the hardcover and PDF for a $50.00 pledge through November 29th. Expected delivery is November of next year.

About the project:

The best magic item compilations published before now, the ones truly packed with interesting and compelling items and new exciting ideas, are still the original AD&D Dungeonmaster’s Guide, AD&D Unearthed Arcana, and AD&D Greyhawk Adventures sourcebook. Those are the books that have inspired a million campaigns for decades. The ACKS II Treasure Tome has more items than all of those combined  — and we’ve taken great pain to create items as fantastic, wondrous, and exciting as those classic items that inspired our childhood imagination so long ago. We’ve built:

  • 483 new miscellaneous items
  • 103 new potions
  • 168 new magical implements
  • 115 new swords
  • 110 new rings
  • 99 new miscellaneous weapons, and
  • 99 new sets of armor

In addition, the ACKS II Treasure Tome is the first book that actually provides a consistent structured pricing for each item, along with the design details for making them. Some other books have tried this, but the items weren’t built with a unified coherent system–and the requirements to make items frequently didn’t make sense. Never before has there been a sourcebook that combines the extravagance and imagination of the earliest old-school fantasy with the coherence, detail, and structure found in ACKS II.

Like the other books in the ACKS Imperial Imprint product line the ACKS II Treasure Tome features a durable PU leather cover, lay-flat sewn bindings, thick art paper interiors, with full-color art by a team of artists led by Michael Syrigos. This is a high-quality collectible book majestic enough to stand-out on the bookshelf and durable enough to survive the rigors of tabletop action. The ACKS II Treasure Tome is not just a tome of treasure – it’s a treasure in itself.
