2 Weeks To Launch
Hello followers! We're so excited to be launching the campaign for Coven & Crucible: Reforged. This second edition makes the core mechanics of the game more streamlined. What...
In Coven & Crucible there are witch houses: organizations that share similar approaches and ideas about magic and what it can do. They usually have a focus. There are nine main houses, all with ties to the Coven. Which one would you like to join?
It would be nice to be able to get the individual books as add ons. I purchased C&C as well as Unbound at Origins last year. I'd like to get Beyond without having to re-buy everything else.
We're off to a great start with the Coven & Crucible: Reforged campaign! We're over halfway to our funding goal! As people wiser than us have said, crowdfunding is a marathon, not a sprint, so we're looking forward to a long month of reaching our funding and various stretch goals.
What's our first stretch goal? We're so glad you asked. If we reach $20,000 in pledges Charlotte will create ten brand new color spot art pieces for the book. You've seen samples of the art from the book throughout the campaign page and in these updates. The first edition book had over 50 pieces of art. These new additions will not only be original to Reforged but will be in color. So if you've liked the art style of the world, get excited to hit that stretch goal after we've funded. If you haven't backed us yet, now is the time.
Lore Drop: Witch Houses
We wanted to dig into some of the things about Coven & Crucible that make it a unique system and world. One of those are the Witch Houses in the game. Instead of factions or classes, one’s character can join a Witch House. These are organizations that have distinct approaches to and goals for magic and witchcraft. There are nine houses in the second edition, all that are aligned with the Coven.
Witch Houses give characters not only opportunities for roleplay, but resources such as unique traits, that they can make use of. The Witch Houses add in layers to the political landscape of the game, offer characters avenues for adventure, and a sense of belonging and working towards a common goal.
The nine Witch Houses of Reforged are:
The Magi - Master summoners and international witches of mystery.
The Merlins - Traditional magicians that claim the potentially mythical Merlin as their founder.
The St. Martins - A house of aristocratic witches who meddle in the affairs of governments all over the world.
The Baba Yagas - Criminally-minded witches who use magic to steal, kill and deal their way to the top.
House Volva - These are your viking witches. They hurt and heal through magic and fists.
The Stregas - These witches are masters of hexing. They have a tenuous relationship with the Catholic Church, but don't let it get in the way of their witchcraft.
The Artificers - A group of witches who forge magic items and use divination to pick stocks. They're the reason stock markets are so heavily warded against magical interference.
The Greek Triad - Three smaller houses that banded together into one. They focus on divination and run an online divination service called Oracle.
The Müller Family - This family of witches specialize in grimoires: magical tomes that hold the knowledge of particular witches.
What do you think? Is there a Witch House that speaks to you? We have a poll going on right now where you can pick the house that resonates with you. Go ahead and make your mark!
Heading into the weekend, Stephan and roach will be at Concinnity talking about the game. If you'll be at the con, stop by and say hi. And pledge if you haven't yet. We have some great stretch goals in the queue to make Reforged a great addition to your tabletop sessions.
We are one day away from the launch of Coven & Crucible: Reforged, and we couldn't be more excited! We are sitting at just over 700 followers for the campaign and hope to reach 800 by the time of launch. So if you would like to help us reach that goal, please share the campaign with your friends, your family, your mortal enemies, and random strangers on the street.
In our effort to get funded and to reward those of you who are early backers, we have two awesome incentives for those people who back us in the first 48 hours. The Art Goblin, Charlotte, has put together a sticker sheet featuring art from the book. Familiars play a large part of the game. Every witch needs an animal companion, right? Not only do familiars provide fun flavor for your character, but they add a mechanical benefit to the magic casting. The sticker sheet early backers will get shows three different familiars one could have for their character. There's the classic cat and toad, but also a jackalope. Who wouldn't want a fast talking lagomorph who is fond of whiskey and cigarettes as their sidekick?
Early backers will also receive an 11x20 poster print featuring signed by Charlotte. This print is a redraw of the original core book cover art. Charlotte wanted to play around with the core concept and make it more detailed, more colorful, and overall more magical.
The sticker sheet and print will be added to the rewards of each pledge made in the first 48 hours of the campaign.
If you are still uncertain about what Coven & Crucible is all about, we've posted a couple of videos on our Youtube channel where roach and Stephan talk about the game basics. You can watch the first part below. In it, roach & Stephan each break down the game in one minute or less. They talk about the origin of the game, as well as what the Coven and the Crucibles are. Finally, they talk about how the magic system works in the game.
We can't wait to see you tomorrow when the campaign launches and pledges open. Join us, won't you?
