Hello everyone,
We just released the Digital Library for Historica Arcanum: Era of the Crusades. You can download it for FREE here!
So, what's in the Digital Library?
A lot of great stuff actually.
We got Character Tokens, Maps with and without grids, STLs of the Crusades' minis, Printable PDFs for the Deck of the Damned, Custom Character Sheets, Soundtrack Files, and Wallpapers!
With this, our creative team is finalizing all their work on the Era of the Crusades campaign. Our future updates here will be about sneak peeks to the Collector Box Sets and shipping information.
If you want to follow our creative team into the next Historica Arcanum adventure...
Welcome to Venice of the Renaissance Era; the next setting of the award winning Historica Arcanum series! As The City of Masks adorns itself with masterpieces of paint and marble, and prepares for The Grand Carnival - an arcane war haunts the shadows still.
In Terra Firma, the Medicis and the Borgias plot against La Serenissima, in a Machiavellian game of chess.
In the Mediterranean, hundreds of galleys fly the war banners of the Republic, against legendary corsairs, the Barbarossa brothers.
And sealing the fate of The City of Masks, in between all the spectacle and the mayhem, shadowy faces don their grand masks, light up their stage with witchfire, and let loose a vengeance decades in the making.
Deck of Legendary Inspirations: A Better Way of Rewarding Players.
Uncover the Deck of Legendary Inspirations! With this deck, Game Masters will be able to reward their players with class specific inspirations that give both mechanical and narrative boons, rather than just a free re-roll!
The Deck of Legendary Inspirations will feature 20 cards for each class, and will be available as rollable tables, and as a gorgeous physical card deck!
The Art of War: Reimagined Weapons & Battle Stances for 5E.
The Art of War is a brand new 5e mechanics that allows characters to properly use their weapons and their combat prowess. The system comes with dozens of battle loadouts, ranging from historical martial techniques, to renowned fighting styles of fantasy lore.
With each battle loadout, players will have access to a series of alternate attacks, actions, and reactions - think of half-swording, mordhau, shield bashes, and more!
The Art of War will be available as a section in the setting guide of Echoes of Renaissance and as a deck of tarot sized reference cards!

Hello everyone,
We are super excited to announce that production for Historica Arcanum: Era of the Crusades is finished and we finally hold the books in our hands!
Book Sneak Peeks!
Double Layered Maps!
More component pictures are coming soon!
We are now anxiously waiting for our manufacturing house to pack and ship the Collector boxes our way. Once we receive them, we will showcase all the rest of the components asap!
Digital Library & Updated PDFs
We are also finalizing all the digital tools from the Era of the Crusades campaign this week.
Once all the Digital Files are ready, we will upload them to BackerKit and our website, alongside PDFs with typos and other mistakes fixed. You will receive an email when those downloads are made available, by the end of this week.
When will we ship?
Now that all the production work is done, what is left is getting all the books and box sets to your hands.
Our logistics team is planning to place all this stuff on sea freight that will leave port at August 12. If everything goes according to this plan, it will take around 3 weeks to a month for this shipment to be received by our warehouses - then we will immediately start distribution. Currently, we expect to finish all the US packages in that week - EU, AUS and UK packages may take slightly longer due to some bureaucratic busywork.
As always, for any questions or comments, or if you need to make a last minute address change just let us know!

A chill fog descends on the cobblestone streets. A gibbous moon hangs expectantly in the sky, and the stars are aligning…just in time to be rent asunder!
In just under 24 hours, we will be launching our very first board game, Historica Arcanum: Cults of London!
We are beyond thrilled to share this adventure with you, the culmination of a lot of hard work and late night incantations.
Cults of London is a game of strategy and subterfuge, with two thrilling modes:
War of the Cults - a 3-4 Player Mode in which you play as stygian organizations vying for control of the netherworld of Victorian Era London. Conduct Rituals, Plot Assassinations, and Slay Eldritch Horrors!
Eldritch Onslaught - a Solo Mode in which you race against time to take over London against a specialized opponent and steadily pressing dangers.
There are 4 Factions in the main game - The Royal Society, The Purge, The Mohocks, and The Golden Dawn.
In addition, there will be two more playable factions: Ghosts from the Crescent, and the Lazarus Syndicate. Yes, that Crescent!
Reminder: There is still time to follow the project on Gamefound before the Launch time! If you do, you will receive a free Dice Tower!
