Our Backerkit survey has been approved and we've sent the "smoke test" out to 5% of our backers for a quick quality check to see how things are going. Assuming everything is working, we'll send the full survey out to everyone tomorrow, where you can add extra items, pay for shipping, and so on. Please check your email tonight to see if you're one of those who received this early survey and return it ASAP!
As we close in on the finish line for this project, we also are delighted to invite our Pathfinder fans to our next Quickstarter project: A Tale of Two Seas! This project brings the magnificent Mediterranean Monsters bestiary to Pathfinder 1E and 2E, and as we continued building our Mother of Monsters Adventure Path and the campaign setting of the Kagari Islands, it felt like a great companion to bridge oceans of adventure from Mediterranean to Caribbean with a second archipelago of adventure for 5E, PF1, or PF2 in Boricubos: The Lost Isles, a killer campaign setting (including 3 bonus adventures) inspired by the precolonial Taino and Arawak peoples of the Caribbean, plus the companion Latin American Monsters bestiary (also available combined in a single deluxe hardcover). Two seas, THREE game systems, one Quickstarter! We hope you'll check it out when we launch in mid-April, so sign up today and spread the word!
Backerkit Survey submitted for review!

Hi all,
We've completed the Backerkit survey and sent it to them for review. They usually get back in a day or two with comments or questions. We'll address those and make any needed adjustments, but once that's complete we'll be able to send out the survey to you. The first step will be a "smoke test" that goes out to 5% of backers, just to check the survey and make sure we don't run into any problems. Once those are addressed (if any come up), we'll send the survey to everyone the following day. We should be able to send out the smoke test and survey by the end of the week, allowing you to enter your information, order any extra items you decided to add, pay for those and for shipping, etc. We should be able to start locking orders next week, but we'll wait to lock addresses until the two Arcforge hardcover books are ready to ship, which is scheduled for September. The Aethera Campaign Setting books are shipping directly from Legendary Games, so those will come separately, and we may ship those in the coming weeks to get those out the door. All other books will ship directly from the printer to you.
Thanks again for supporting this project and we look forward to our next project with you! If you haven't already, check out the playtest and Discord link in the previous update and join in the fun of making Arcforge truly Legendary!
Thank you for making Arcforge Come to Life!

Hi all,
Thanks so much for your enthusiastic support for this project and for making these two terrific books a reality! We offer a double tip of the cap to Jeffrey L., whose pledge today pushed us over the $20,000 mark to unlock our final stretch goal, where Arcforge impresario Matt Daley and his talented team of experienced Paizo authors will create a separate Arcforge/Lost Omens Crossover Book on Pathfinder Infinite, with a ton of new player and GM options in addition to new lore that brings the world of Golarion into What Lies Beyond. As a Pathfinder Infinite product that contains official Paizo IP, we couldn't offer it directly through Kickstarter, but we're excited to confirm its development and we'll let you know when it's ready to go!
I'll be sending out links in a few minutes where you can download your PDFs for all of the existing books that were part of your pledges and add-ons. VTT rewards will probably be finalized in the Backerkit survey, and I've already got a good start on that and hope to have it sent in for approval on Monday, so we can get the survey sent out by the end of next week.
Unlike most LG projects, this one has an open playtest attached, which will be taking place over the next couple of months with Matt Daley as he focuses on this project. The final PDFs for the Arcforge Players Compendium and Arcforge Universe Cyclopedia will be assembled once that playtest is complete, and at that point we'll be shipping out print rewards all together.
If you want to participate in the playtest, you can hop on the Legendary Games Discord here! You can access Matt's up-to-date Arcforge Playtest Patch Notes right here!
We thank you once again for your support of Legendary Games and we look forward to our next project coming in April, which will bring our marvelous Mediterranean Monsters bestiary to Pathfinder 1E and 2E! After two sci-fi-flavored projects in a row, it'll be nice to get back to true fantasy!
ANOTHER stretch goal already!

Hi all and thanks so much for your amazing support of the Arcforge project! We are excited and delighted to report that with all of your help, including that of the gregarious Graham to push us over the $14,000 mark, we have unlocked our SECOND stretch goal! Matt says he's close to finished with the initial writing on the first one, and now he'll be adding new options and mechanics for equipment of all sorts, including new rules for building your own high-tech weaponry and taking your vessels into space!
We've got one stretch goal left, which looks very reachable, to create an entire Golarion-integrated bonus book through the Pathfinder Infinite program. Matt is already recruiting authors for this project, and we'll have more news on that as we go along!
We encourage all of you to keep spreading the word via your social media, and in particular we encourage you to share links of our Arcforge Player Companion FREE Preview PDF! Anyone on the fence and take a great look at some of the fantastic fun inside!
As a final note, we had some folks asking if we could create a reference grid showing which PDFs and books went with which of the pledges, and in my preparation for a weeklong trip out of town I applied my absolutely top-notch, epic-level, eye-meltingly amazing design skills to create a feast for the senses... or at least, fight with Word for an hour and finally kit-bash together a halfway readable table. Graphic artist I'm not but it gets you the information you need so I'll call it good!
Thanks so much and let's finish off a wonderful first week on Wednesday!
A fantastic first day and then some! Stretch goals revealed!

Thanks to all of you for firing up this project far beyond expectations in just the first day and a half! We've got plenty of good news to share, so check it out!
- Thanks to customer feedback, we've added the Alien Bestiary Companion and Alien Codex as standalone add-on pledges, so you can get those by themselves without getting the specific bundle pledges that include them.
- You all threw up your pledges so fast we didn't even get a chance to post our stretch goals before we already cracked the first one thanks to backer Dennis at $8,000, unlocking Magical Eternities! Both books will be enhanced with bonus sections of all-new Talents, Spells, Veils, Powers, and Monsters! We've got two more stretch goals out there waiting to be fulfilled so check out the product page!
- We've had several requests for adventures set on Vandara and right now the answer is maybe! We might not have time to put it together as part of this Kickstarter, but we are talking about putting one together and if we do, we'll put out the call here to let you know when it's coming.
- Last but not least, we've put together the Arcforge Player Compendium Preview PDF, a 26-page early look at the Helmsman class and a ton of terrific high-tech options! If you want a foretaste of what's coming in the Arcforge Player Compendium, download it today and share the link on your social media or wherever you like!
