The Arcanis Campaign Setting is an immersive world of epic battles, where the most dangerous adversary is not some mythical creature, but your fellow being. It is not a world of stark black and whites, but rather a spectrum of grays where heroes have their flaws and even the most devilish of villains have virtues. This is also reflected in the world’s religious structure where the gods are arranged in Pantheons, being neither inherently good or evil. It is the religions created by mortals that choose what aspects of the gods are worshipped and whether these are good or evil is determined by each cultures’ values.

The Arcanis 5E RPG Kickstarter campaign runs until Saturday 22^nd April.

I loved the 3e version. Pledged for the book and FIMR in print. Probably get the addons too as they come up. Good luck!

In case you missed it yesterday here's an Arcanis 5e Kickstarter update about a new stretch goal at $47k, the Disciples of Heresy. Get all the details at the link. But here's a highlight.

Part of the stretch goal is to include two adventures to be featured in the Disciples of Heresy volume, they are: For Eye See Naught but Ruin and Woe and The Return of the Necromancer Lords. Note: For Eye See Naught but Ruin and Woe was originally released as a Living Arcanis module in 2006. The version in this product is modified and expanded.

Once the Stretch Goal is unlocked, the PDF of this product will be included with those pledge levels that contain the PDF Collection. A print copy will be made available for purchase, but only for those backers at the $75 or higher Reward Level.

Print copies will be limited exactly to those pledged during the Kickstarter. This book will never be reprinted in this form, though the source material may find its way into future products (there are none planned for at least the next three years). The adventures will not be released in any form again, other than in this edition.
I hope you help us spread the word to unlock the Disciples of Heresy so we can get this exclusive product in your hands.

The latest update to the Arcanis Kickstarter is live, this time giving a glimpse into the new Psionics system for 5e. In Arcanis psionics is a means to wield the power of Creation, like the other Arcanum, but in a unique manner. Instead of preparing spells and using spell slots, psionicists split their consciousness into multiple parts and concentrate on specific mental patterns called fractures. Learn more and become a backer.
