Hello everyone!

We are currently in the very last weeks of finalizing the Era of Crusades. As the finishing line for our project is fast approaching, we wanted to share our excitement by sharing our amazing artists' latest work.

Finding Your Way in the Era of Crusades

Of course, the Era of Crusades would have been incomplete without beautifully crafted maps. Enjoy navigating the next step of your adventures with the Jerusalem and Cairo maps drawn by our phenomenal cartographer Yağmur Kıyak!

Explore the streets of medieval Jerusalem through our intricate detailed map.

Uncover the secrets concealed within the ancient city of Cairo.

Stunning Views from the Book

Our artists have done a marvelous job in the visualization of the places where your characters will walk by. Take a look at some of the remarkable views that will be in the Era of Crusades:

Take a second to enjoy this breathtaking depiction of the Dome of Rock.

Explore the grandeur of the Citadel of Saladin, matching the glory of the City with a Thousand Minarets.

Travel on the trade merchants' routes through the golden dunes of Egypt.

The adventure begins here, care to guess where it leads?

Era of the Crusades Releasing Soon - Soundtracks Revealed and Production Insights
about 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 06, 2024 at 03:13:34 AM

Hello everyone, 

We have a pretty massive update for you today!

Era of the Crusades content is almost finished! While we were knee deep in the trenches of finalizing everything, we wanted to share some new developments we haven't posted in Kickstarter updates. Let's get to it.
 

Soundtracks!

As we promised, Historica Arcanum: Era of the Crusades comes with an extended soundtrack library. Here's the first taste of the album with the City of Jerusalem ambient track created by our partner music studio Ethnotic: The City of God. 

We revealed three more tracks in our Discord server. If you want to listen to them, and be the first to find out about these teasers and Historica Arcanum news, feel free to join the community!

Prints are on the Way!

All the side content is also coming along very nicely! We are getting ready to print the GM Screen and the Deck of the Damned. Below is but one hastily took picture of our before-print color checks. We can't wait to showcase the final products!

An Enhanced Dungeon Crawling Experience

Our 3D Designers-at-Arms are working on two fronts: Dungeon Maps and Minis! And in both fronts, we are going to deliver absolutely stunning content to your gaming tables. 

We wanted to upgrade our Dungeon design from pen and paper to Video Game Map Design Softwares. This way, we can create gorgeous isometric maps, and in future, bring animated maps and even dynamic camera angles to all Historica Arcanum dungeons! Below is our very first demo we created months ago as a proof of concept!

Sculpting Beasts and the Accursed

The sculpts of the two hallmarks of the Era of the Crusades bestiary - The Wormface Sigil Knight & the Sandcrawler are finished and we started the physical minis production! A corner of the office warehouse resembles a miniature Terracotta Army with the eldritch figurines lying side by side in the thousands!

Signing Off

While we have dozen more cool news we can reveal - you have to make do with these for this update! We will release page spreads and content, lore and gameplay sneak peeks, new art and product photos, and brand new Historica Arcanum content trailers in the next updates as we get closer to the RELEASE DATE!

Stand vigilant, 
Metis Creative Team

Hello everyone,

We will be closing the Pledge Manager and Pre-Order store for Era of the Crusades next week. This means that you will no longer be able to modify your orders (you can still modify your addresses). 

So, make sure you grab everything you want from this campaign, all side content (excluding the Deck of the Damned) will be gone forever after this production cycle. 

Once we lock down the orders, we will charge your cards within the next few days.

As always, let us know if you have any questions or comments!

Cheers,
Metis Team
