Earlier today, Free League Publishing launched a Kickstarter to bring two new Dragonbane releases to the public. On offer are Arkand – City of Waves and Flames as well as the Book of Magic. The first volume presents an urban adventure setting while the second brings you more spells and magic. The Kickstarter funded within minutes and you can reserve hardcovers of both books (with PDFs) in either English or Swedish for a pledge of approximately $74.00 or score just the PDFs alone for a pledge of approximately $42.00 through June 26th. Expected delivery is next April.
About the books:
Arkand – City of Waves and Flames Key Features:
A rich, bustling setting: Over a dozen adventure sites spread across five districts, along with a number of campaign seeds, and even more adventure sites available to be unlocked as stretch goals in this Kickstarter.
Danger and intrigue: The player characters will experience a fierce power struggle in the city’s underworld, take on the role of demon hunters, and uncover secrets about Arkand’s storied past that could change the city forever.
Award-winning creativity: Arkand – City of Waves and Flames is written by Johan Sjöberg and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla. If unlocked as a stretch goal, this book will also include a large separate 432 x 558mm full-color map drawn by Francesca Baerald.
Book of Magic Key Features:
More magic: The Book of Magic adds at least five new schools of magic to your Dragonbane game, including harmonism, demonology, necromancy, witchcraft, and illusionism – with more possible to unlock as stretch goals – as well as new spells for the existing schools of general magic, animism, elementalism, and mentalism.
More spells: All featured schools of magic come with a wide range of spells, which now come in five ranks. Each school is also described with information about their practitioners, station and reputation in the world, and what kind of spiritus familarius their members typically summon.
More award-winning creativity: The Book of Magic is written by Mattias Johnsson Haake and Mattias Lilja (creators of Symbaroum) with Tomas Härenstam (Dragonbane Core Set) as co-writer and editor, and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla.
