24 Hours Down - Fields of Erwick Unlocked! £200K Surpassed! 🌾🐉
5 months ago – Fri, Mar 20, 2026 at 02:36:14 PM

Adventurers,

You did it. 24 hours of overtime sustained!

But that's not all.

We've surpassed £200,000!

This is beyond anything we imagined when we launched this campaign. We are truly so grateful to have a community that's pushed this project to such extraordinary heights.

And with that milestone, we've unlocked something that bridges two worlds:

The Dragons of Batesian Come to Legends of Akeroth 🐉

The Astral dragon, the Aura dragon, the Mirror dragons, the Moon dragon, the Pyre dragon, the Shard dragon, the Storm dragon and the Sun Dragon, are now officially part of Legends of Akeroth.

This is a brand new story expansion, in which the 8 dragons of Batesian have created their lairs within the kingdom of Erwick. Now, your hero can battle their way through each dragon’s unique dungeon, to unlock unique loot and unlock the secret 9th dragon’s lair.



This digital crossover is now yours, included for every backer, regardless of your tier. Physical copies will also be available as an add-on.

Thank you for making this interconnected universe possible!

Fields of Erwick Is Unlocked! 🌾

And because you sustained 24 hours of overtime, we've also unlocked Fields of Erwick - the cosy, standalone solo RPG zine!



Fields of Erwick is your peaceful escape into farming, ranching, and fishing in the kingdom of Erwick. No combat. No quests. Just the quiet satisfaction of tending your land and watching it flourish.



This is a standalone zine, which means you don't need the Core Rulebook to play it - though it is set in the same world. It's a complete experience on its own, perfect for cosy game lovers or people who just want to try something new!

The digital PDF will be available to all backers, regardless of your pledge tier!
Artisan Edition and Collector's Edition backers will receive a printed copy for FREE, and all other backers can get a physical copy as an add-on!

36 Hours = Printed Sticker & Map Set 🗺️

We're not stopping yet. The next overtime milestone is 36 hours, and when we reach it, we're unlocking:
The Printed Sticker & Map Set.

This is a physical set of reusable stickers and maps featuring pixel art assets from Legends of Akeroth. Use them to build your own camp, design your own farm, create your home base, or lay out your party's encampment on the map.



What's Included:
🗺️ Reusable Map Sheet - A blank terrain map in pixel art style
🏕️ Pixel Art Sticker Sheets - Buildings, crops, animals, tents, campfires, fences, pathways, and more
Mix and Match - Build your camp, farm, or base however you want

It's tactile, creative, and perfect for players who love customizing their experience.

Included in All Physical Rulebook Pledges

When we unlock the Sticker & Map Set at 36 hours, it will be automatically included in every pledge that contains a physical rulebook.

No additional cost. Just a beautiful, creative addition to your Legends of Akeroth experience.

How to Keep Overtime Alive

We've sustained 24 hours. Now let's push for 36!

Add items to your pledge - Melody Coins, Swoovik's Revenge, Fields of Erwick physical copies
Upgrade your tier - Move up to a physical rulebook tier to receive the Sticker & Map Set
Share the campaign - Tell friends about Fields of Erwick and the Sticker Set
Spread the word on social media - Help us sustain momentum

Every action counts. Every pledge, upgrade, and share brings us closer to 36 hours.

Thank You

This campaign continues to amaze us with what you've achieved.

Let's keep going. Let's hit 36 hours and bring pixel art customization to every physical rulebook.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️


Overtime Is In Full Swing - Melody Coins, Wisps & Fields of Erwick! 🌾✨
5 months ago – Fri, Mar 20, 2026 at 05:26:12 AM

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 🌾

Both the Melody Coins and Whisp Rules were unlocked because of your support during overtime. Thank you for making it happen.

But we're not done yet.

If we sustain overtime momentum for 24 hours, we'll unlock something truly special:

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.

You've already unlocked Melody Coins and Wisp Rules. You've pushed this campaign to heights we never imagined. And now, Fields of Erwick is within reach.

Thank you for everything you've achieved. Let's finish strong together.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️
 

Overtime Is Here - Last Chance for Exclusive Content! ⚔️
5 months ago – Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 04:21:09 PM

Adventurers,

We're in the final hours of the Legends of Akeroth campaign, and that means overtime has officially begun!
If you've never experienced a crowdfunding overtime period before, here's what you need to know.

What Is Overtime?

Overtime is the final stretch of a campaign - the last few hours before the doors close for good. 

It's when we unlock exclusive add-ons, limited-time offers, and bonus content that won't be available once the campaign ends.

Think of overtime as our final celebration. A last chance to add something special to your pledge, grab exclusive items, and make sure you don't miss out on anything before the campaign closes forever.

All increases even those of £1 will keep the train going any all backers are able to help us!



Add-Ons you can get to keep the train going!




🦢 Item #1: Swoovik's Revenge PDF

First up: the adventure you've been waiting for.

Swoovik's Revenge is a brand new one-shot adventure featuring Erwick's most chaotic, most beloved creature - the Swoose.


Remember Dravik's Revenge, our epic adventure designed to take you from levels 1-10? We took that classic cover and completely redrawn it. Every single character is now a Swoose.

Heroes? Swooses.
Villains? Swooses.
Epic showdown? All Swooses.

It's ridiculous. It's beautiful. It's everything you didn't know you needed.

What's Included:

📜 A Complete One-Shot Adventure - Playable solo or with a group
🦢 7 New Swoose Waymates - Fully statted companions ready to join your adventures
⚔️ Swoovik Boss Battle Statblock - Face the legendary Swoovik in epic combat
📱 Digital PDF Format - Exclusively available during overtime

Whether you're running it as a one-shot with friends or tackling it solo, Swoovik's Revenge delivers pure Swoose chaos in adventure form.

This is an overtime exclusive. Once the campaign closes, Swoovik's Revenge will increase in price.

🦢 Item #2: The Limit Break Coin

And now for something small but mighty: the Limit Break Coin.


This premium metal coin can be used as a token to hand to your Herald when using a Limit Break or melody in session! - this is your chance to carry the legend with you wherever you go.

High-quality metal. Detailed design. Campaign-exclusive. 

🦢 Item #3: The Equipment Deck

In case you missed it, you can also grab the Equipment Deck as an add-on if you don't have the Collector's or Artisan edition.


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.

Overtime Goals

How Much Time Is Left?

Head to the campaign page and have a look, once that train ends we close the campaign and any exclusives will either go up in price or disappear!

The clock is ticking. If you want Swoovik's Revenge, the Coin, or any other campaign content, now is the time.

Thank you for making this campaign legendary. Let's finish strong.

Adventure on,
The Crossed Paths Team ⚔️

If we reach £200,000, we're unlocking something that bridges the entire Akeroth universe in a way we've never done before.

All 8 dragons from Drakonym will be released as legendary boss encounters in Legends of Akeroth.

Each dragon will come with:
  • Full boss-level statblocks
  • Unique dungeon/lair designed around their theme
  • Exclusive loot drops 
  • Epic encounters that test even the strongest parties

The same dragons that riders bond with in Drakonym have now become the ultimate challenges in Legends of Akeroth.



But there's more.

Defeat all 8 dragons, and you'll uncover the secret of the 9th dragon - a hidden encounter that only reveals itself to those who've conquered the others.

This is the crossover we've been building toward. Drakonym and Legends, united in one epic challenge.

We need £200K to make it happen. We're so close. Let's finish strong.

The Final Push

£175K unlocked. Natural Six confirmed. The Swoose Plush is available. The Melody Coin is within reach. And the Eight Dragons await at £200K.

This is the final stretch. Thank you for everything you've done to make Legends of Akeroth what it is. Let's cross that finish line together.

Adventure on,
