Arcverse Update : The Arclander and The Book of the Phantasm - 26.9.22

News

Hi there folks, as the World Anvil page for Arclands becomes more popular and it becomes the hub where most people gain there Arclands lore, it made sense to communicate with you guys through a new 'news' section. We're going to bring you weekly updates about all the stuff we're getting up to and the new stuff you can look forward to experiencing soon. This is an exciting week for all of us here at team Verse, because we have two big announcements to make.

1. The Arclander

Our Zine, the Arclander has arrived (well, it's almost arrived, give it a day or two), and will be available at DrivethruRPG in the next week or so. It's a combinattion of all the lore, adventures, character classes and origins that we couldn't get into the Spellforgers Companion or the Book of the Graces. Here's a snapshot of what is contained within:

• Two new character classes, the Spy and the Skald
• Two new character origins, the anarchic rat-folk Ryvvik and the shape shifting mercenaries, the Skabbakh.
• An action packed adventure journey through the haunted shrines of the Mill Lands, where strange creatures from other realities prey on the unwary.
• Three new powerful entities for your Vowbinder (or 5th Edition Warlock) to take as their patron, along with weird and wonderful new familiars.
• Part one of an 12 part mega adventure - Shadow and Steel.

But the excitement doesn't end there because we will also be bringing you (in the coming week):

2. The Book of the Phantasm Preview

Yes indeed! A double week of thrills. We are getting ready for our biggest launch yet and we are so excited about bringing the Book of the Phantasm to Kickstarter on November 15th! We want this amazing new realm of the Arcverse to be a super success and something you guys will really enjoy and explore.

New Articles

In addition to this, we've put out some new lore in the past few days. You can find out about the Five Families of Dran right here, and also how the wealthy and the middling sorts of Arc educate themselves and their children.

A Fire in the Heart of Knowing

Our web novel, A Fire in the Heart of Knowing has grown again. This time we have ventured onto the streets of the old city of Pelonastra in the Mill Lands, meeting a band of street thieves and misfits, as well as the noble Prince Bard and his retinue, who grapple with a secret code book and mysterious happenings to the north. You can read it here.
