Adventurers,

Overtime has officially begun, and you're already making magic happen.

Thanks to your incredible support in these final hours, we've unlocked two amazing additions to Legends of Akeroth:

✨ Melody/Limit Break Coins - Now Available as an Add-On!

These beautiful physical coins represent your character's most powerful moments - their limit breaks, their crescendos, their defining acts of heroism.
Flip the coin and unleash your limit break. It's a small detail that makes those heroic moments feel even more impactful at the table.

Melody/Limit Break Coins are now available as an add-on for any backer who wants to bring that extra tactile satisfaction to their game!

🧚 Wisp Rules - Mischievous Creatures Join the Adventure!

Mischievous little creatures hidden throughout Erwick are now part of the game!

Wisps are playful, tricky beings who live in the shadows, forests, and forgotten corners of Akeroth. They're not hostile, but they're not entirely helpful either. Wisps love games, riddles, puzzles, and tests of wit.
Encounter one in your travels, and you'll be offered a challenge.

Complete their trials? You might earn a blessing, a treasure, or a piece of hidden knowledge.
Fail? Well... let's just say Wisps have a sense of humor, and they're not above a little mischief at your expense!
The Wisp rules add a layer of whimsy and unpredictability to exploration in Legends of Akeroth. They reward clever players, punish the overconfident, and make the world feel alive with hidden magic.

Wisps are now part of every backer's experience. Keep your eyes open as you travel through Erwick; you never know when a Wisp might be watching.

24 Hours of Overtime = Fields of Erwick Unlocks 🌾

Fields of Erwick - A Standalone Solo RPG Zine

Fields of Erwick is a solo journaling RPG designed for players who want to step away from combat and adventure and immerse themselves in the cosy, meditative life of a farmer, rancher, or fisher in the kingdom of Erwick.

You'll:
🌾 Plant and harvest crops through the seasons
🐄 Raise and care for animals on your ranch
🎣 Fish in peaceful streams and rivers
🏡 Build and expand your homestead over time
📖 Journal your character's quiet life and personal growth

There's no combat. No quests. No danger. Just you, your land, and the slow, satisfying rhythm of rural life in Akeroth. Fields of Erwick is perfect for winding down after a long day.

This is a standalone zine, which means that you don't need the Core Rulebook to play it -  though it is set in the same world and shares the same aesthetic and tone. It's a complete experience on its own.

What You Get When We Unlock It:

• Every backer receives the PDF for free when we unlock Fields of Erwick 
• Collector's Edition and Artisan Edition backers receive a free printed copy included in their pledge
• All other backers can add the physical copy to their pledge as an add-on

How You Can Help

Every action during overtime brings us closer to unlocking Fields of Erwick:

✅ Add Melody Coins or other add-ons to your pledge - Every add-on keeps momentum alive
✅ Upgrade your tier - Moving from Digital to Core, or Book to Table, helps sustain overtime
✅ Share the campaign - Know someone who'd love a cosy solo RPG? Tell them about Fields of Erwick!
✅ Spread the word - Post about Legends of Akeroth, Fields of Erwick, or the Melody Coins on social media

Every pledge, every upgrade, and every addition counts toward keeping overtime alive for 24 hours!

This Is the Final Stretch

Overtime won't last forever. These are the final hours of Legends of Akeroth, and we're making every moment count.

Adventurers,

You did it. £160,000 unlocked!

The Monk and the Witch are now officially part of Legends of Akeroth. Two powerful new classes with two distinct playstyles, and countless new ways to build your hero and explore the kingdom of Erwick.

The Monk brings martial discipline, spiritual focus, and devastating unarmed combat to the battlefield. Masters of body and mind, Monks channel inner energy to perform incredible feats of agility, endurance, and precision.

The Witch commands ancient magic and arcane forces, weaving spells that blur the line between the natural and supernatural. With deep connections to old powers and forgotten rituals, the Witch offers a darker, more mystical approach to magic.


These classes are now part of every backer's experience. Thank you for making this happen.

But today isn't just about celebrating what you've unlocked. We also want to show you something special we've been working on...

Meet Your Starter Partners - The Beastmaster's Companions

In Legends of Akeroth, Rangers who choose the Beastmaster job have the unique ability to bond with creature companions who fight alongside them, grow stronger through shared experiences, and become lifelong partners on the journey through Erwick.

And it all begins with a choice.

When you start your adventure as a Beastmaster, you'll choose one of three starter partners - creatures native to Erwick who will join you from the very beginning and evolve alongside your character.

Meet the trio:

🌿 Sobulb - A plant-based creature with gentle energy and surprising resilience. The Sobulb may look harmless, but it thrives in harsh conditions and rewards patient trainers with powerful growth and supportive abilities. Perfect for Rangers who value endurance and adaptability.

🔥 Axolitt - A fiery amphibian with fierce energy and unwavering determination. The Axolitt burns bright with inner flame and thrives in heated environments, making it ideal for adventurers who expect to travel through volcanic regions, deserts, and scorching terrains. Its aggressive abilities make it a formidable offensive companion.

💧 Carapage - A sturdy, armored crablike creature with defensive instincts and aquatic mastery. The Carapage protects its partner with natural shell defenses and excels in water-rich environments. For Rangers who want a reliable, tank-like companion that thrives in rivers, coasts, and oceans, the Carapage is the perfect choice.

Each starter partner has unique abilities, different growth paths, and distinct personalities. As you adventure together, your bond deepens, your partner evolves, and new abilities will unlock.

Your Journey, Your Partner

The Beastmaster job is all about connection; the bond between Ranger and creature, the trust built through shared trials, and the growth that comes from facing the world together. Your starter partner is more than a tool or a summon. They're a companion, a friend, and a core part of your story.

Which partner would you choose? Comment below for 100XP!

Choose wisely. Adventure together. Grow stronger as one.

What's Next?

£160K is behind us. The Monk and Witch are unlocked. And now we're closing in on £175K; the Natural Six actual play one-shot.



Let's keep this momentum going. The final stretch is here, and we're not slowing down!

Thank you for everything you've achieved in this campaign. This is your world as much as it is ours.

Adventure on,

Adventurers,

We're entering the final stretch.
 
The last 48 hours of the Legends of Akeroth campaign are almost upon us, and before we cross that threshold, we wanted to unveil something we've been crafting in secret.

The Legends of Akeroth Equipment Cards

Approximately 100 cards, each one featuring custom pixel art, and each one showcasing an item from the world of Erwick - weapons, potions, artifacts, treasures, and tools that will shape your adventures.

These cards are a tactile extension of the game, bringing the items of Akeroth into your hands with gorgeous pixel art that captures the spirit of the JRPG-inspired world we've built together.

Whether you want to shuffle through a physical deck at your table or print exactly what you need, when you need it, the choice is yours.

Available as an Add-On

If you've backed at the Collector's Edition or Artisan Edition tier, the Equipment Card Deck is already included in your pledge at no additional cost.

For all other backers, the deck is available right now as an add-on to your pledge. Any tier. Any backer. Just add them before the campaign closes.

The Cards aren't the end of our announcements today. Something else is coming. Take a look:
