The first battle was fought valiantly and you have smashed through three stretch goals. Another one has fallen and now we have added the wonderful Wild Walker to our print set, free of charge!
We're currently at €78K, just €22K away from unlocking the €100K stretch goal: a full transmutation of our world map from paper to cloth! We're confident we can get there, especially with your help: the fastest way to close that gap is sharing this campaign with a fellow Agent today.
(A quick side note: our regular Choose-Your-Own-Adventure poll is delayed by a few days since our writer has fallen sick, so instead...)
New sticker-sheet poll
We asked you kindly to give your opinion on potential sticker motifs for sticker sheet #2, which every physical pledge will receive for free, and you gave plenty! Here are the top candidates for you to choose from:
Agent class symbols
Meme pictures and quotes
The Seven Veiled Havens symbols (From world map)
Now please click on the poll below and cast your vote! ⬇️
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE MOCK-UP DESIGNS; THE FINAL COLOR AND DESIGN WILL VARY!)
What a fine first day! We have conquered TWO STRETCHGOALS: an additional sticker sheet and a luxury foil for both book covers. Now, for the sticker sheet, give us your preferences in the comments!
(You conquering two stretchgoals in one day)
But that wasn’t all. Here’s what else happened:
New item added! Due to popular demand, the Traveller’s Deck is now available as an add-on. Get this smaller version of the Sefirot Tarot deck if you want something compact with silver edges.
New pledge tier added! Also due to popular demand, we added a pledge that contains a physical version of the Dioscorian Library and both PDFs.
Payment over time enabled! Our apologies that this wasn’t available in the beginning. We are, after all, new on this platform. If your purchase is $150 or higher, you can now pay over time.
We are exhibiting our games tomorrow! If you happen to be in Vienna, Austria, come to Vindiecon (free entry!). We have some rare treasures and fancy Haven’s Heir postcards waiting.
Don’t forget that the first-48-hours-exclusive-free-Alchemist-print-offer is running out in a day! Get it now or never!
And that’s it! More news and insights after the weekend!
Don’t forget to leave us a comment regarding that new sticker sheet …

Haven's Heir is LIVE! Free Alchemist print, 48 hours only
Esteemed Agents,
The hour of our campaign launch has finally arrived! It is time to go back to Dioscoria, to The Hidden Isle, for the grandest adventure of the sixteenth century ever played.
You all know what this is about! Two new marvellous books, useful tools, and fantastic trinkets.
Haven's Heir is a dozen linked adventures, exploring the tensions of Dioscoria, hostile realms, and ancient gods.
The Dioscorian Library brings a plethora of rule expansions and content, including:
Two new classes: the Alchemist and the Wild Walker
A full familiars system
New combat, weapons, and downtime rules
New beasts and magical creatures
NPCs and factions to help GMs get inspired
Every previously published adventure, reprinted in one book
A splendid GM Kit includes useful items for your session, such as a world map, a GM screen and progress clocks.
Want even more stuff? How about more Tarot cards, prints, pins, a soundtrack or even a fashionable Dioscorian T-shirt?
If you pledge now, you’ll get instant access to a free, never-before-seen prologue adventure that leads in to the new campaign! Furthermore, there will be a special discounted tier that will be available via our Discordchannel! Need more options and complications? How about a 48-hour early bird special that will grant you a free print of our Alchemist for all physical pledges?
Whatever you choose, choose now!
I reiterate the traditional invitation to join our socials (fun) andDiscord (even more fun and don’t forget that a special discounted tier awaits there).
48h until Launch! | CYOA #4: Allies among the servants
Dear Discorian dispatch,
Only 2 more days until the launch of Haven's Heir... how exciting!! This is your last chance to grab the free adventure or make a reservation to get a free pin and sticker sheet with your pledge!
We are thrilled to see that so many of you are participating in these polls. Last week's poll was a suuuper close one, but the following choice managed to take the lead:
Which group do you turn to as possible allies to get you into the docks? ⚖️ [PAGE OF PENTACLES] The palace servants, frustrated by the corruption of their betters. ⚖️
Open the poll below to see what happens and continue moving the story forward! ⬇️
We are launching in a week! Isn’t that exciting? There are two thrilling things we want to share with you today…
First, we have news involving a friendly fiend! For our upcoming campaign, we're collaborating with another campaign: the splendid Goblin's Tarot by the relentless Publishing Goblin, creator of The Alleyman's Tarot and many other wonderful projects. The plan is simple: everyone who backs both campaigns gets a free extra from both creators! We'll have a lucky charm for Haven's Heir, while the Goblin will have two pins for you.
Secondly, we have some enticing insights into one of our character classes. If you like to blow stuff up, you might want to look into the Alchemist… here’s an exclusive preview:
Alchemists are obsessive, driven individuals determined to understand, and master, the elements of nature. Determined to unlock the world’s known and unknown mysteries, alchemists perform elaborate experiments, write detailed treatises, and plumb the depths of this early science. They all too easily sacrifice their time, their relationships and even their own body in their search.
Their path, the Way of the Crucible, is built around quite literally rewriting their own biology. Depending on how you build one, an Alchemist might:
Brew a bomb powerful enough to level a building, or a silent one small enough to sabotage a lock
Alter their own blood to be poisonous, corrosive, seductive, or flammable
Link their body to the landscape itself, hardening their skin like nearby cliffs or turning liquid like a river
Brew an Elixir of Life that brings inanimate objects to life, simple-minded but obedient
Mould and animate a foot-tall homunculus companion out of clay and roots, one with its own name, its own moral code, and its own opinion of you
Not every alchemist walks the same path, but all of them agree on one thing: nothing is more important than the truth, whatever it costs to find it.
Now, don’t forget that you only have a week left to reserve for a free pin and stickersheet!
