A lightning update regarding your upcoming orders! Some of you might have received the smoketest for the campaign already, but we are still fine-tuning thanks to the hot mess known as tariffs.
We have now finally received the final-final verdict on how to ship to the US (hint: it's complicated) and are now finally able to prepare the pledge manager for you. Our producer mastermind, Tea, is now sitting on the final version of the shipping tables; we will double and triple check everything once that is done, and then we should be good to go. We sincerely hope that this will happen next week. Finally ... (unless there are more complications)
In the meantime, feel free to sign up for more adventures such as our Haven's Heir campaign! What could possibly go wrong ...
And that’s all, folks. You are welcome to check out our socials and Discord server for extended banter, playtesting and deep discussions!
The two much-cursed demons that haunt our logistics
Esteemed Agents,
This is but a brief update regarding your upcoming orders!
As you know, we ran the campaign with the promise that everything would be ready to ship. Yet, here we are, a good month later, and the pledgemanager is not even open yet!
Here’s what happened: We started moving our warehousing operation from Poland to Germany in June. In theory, everything should have been easy to set up again. Unfortunately, it has been a bit of a bumpy ride, and this has delayed the pledgemanager phase.
The two culprits are as follows:
A certain orange monstrosity has poisoned the once free-flowing waters of our transatlantic logistics chain. Due to a plethora of new malign rules and regulations, we were lacking the clarity to actually provide you with shipping prices.
The other beast is a many-headed hydra that dwells in the Belgian swamplands. Its current fever dream is a brand new packaging regulation that is deeply troubling for small businesses such as ours. We are still not sure what it entails; it is a proper mess, and seeking clarification in this regard has also thrown sand into the gears of our operation.
However! We are now on the final metres of our journey towards the pledgemanager, which should hopefully open next week. As said, you’ll be able to provide your address and maybe alter your pledge should you require additional goods. We’ll try our best to still ship in September…
Oh dear, September will be a busy month… As you know, there will be also our big follow up mission! Haven’s Heir is our first full campaign book that allows you to play a string of Dioscorian adventures, step into a world of enchantment, uproot conspiracy, and defy gods and despots who want to bring down your safe haven! Sign up now to get a free adventure (The Metaphagus) or even reserve your pledge to claim a unique pin and a charming stickerset .
And that’s all, folks. You are welcome to check out our socials and Discord server for extended banter, playtesting and deep discussions!
The campaign ended a few days ago, and we are eternally thankful for your support! Despite this being a mere flash sale to celebrate our 2025 Ennie nomination, almost 200 of you joined the ranks of Dioscoria.💫
Now, what next? As announced, this campaign is ready to ship! You should have received all digital goods by the end of the campaign, so go ahead, and enjoy a first digital glimpse. In a few weeks, we’ll open up the campaign's pledge manager. You’ll be able to provide your address and maybe alter your pledge, should you require additional goods.
Once this phase concludes, most likely by the end of August, we’ll prepare the shipping in our warehouse and start sending out the goods. That’s all. Your precious items should arrive come September.
But there is one more thing! If you are already hooked on The Hidden Isle, check out our big follow-up campaign that will hit Backerkit in September! Haven’s Heir is our first full campaign book that allows you to play a string of Dioscorian adventures, step into a world of enchantment, uproot conspiracy, and defy gods and despots who want to bring down your safe haven!
Sign up now to get a free adventure (The Metaphagus) or even reserve your pledge to claim a unique pin and a charming stickerset.

Announcing Haven’s Heir: The Hidden Isle’s first full campaign, plus new rules, classes and content
Esteemed Agents,
Apologies for crossposting and thank you so much for your support!
Soon you’ll have your precious Hidden Isle goods, and we’re excited to share that more is coming. Three years after The Hidden Isle revealed itself on Kickstarster, we are delighted to announce its first campaign book and expansion set: Haven’s Heir and the Dioscorian Library!
What is Haven’s Heir, you might ask?
Although the rulebook contains everything necessary to play your own personalised campaigns, we’ve always wanted to tell a longer story in this world which digs into its contradictions. Haven’s Heir explores this world’s unresolved tensions, both within the hidden isle and beyond its shores. How will Dioscoria stand by its ideals as pressure mounts?
We’re also writing a companion book: The Dioscorian Library. This will contain two new classes with a suite of new abilities and rules for adorable (or fierce) familiars! It will also feature slight rules changes, additional tips for running combat, more inspiration and help for game masters, and reprints of all previously released scenarios into one lovely tome.
Head over to our launch page, sign up to get afree one-shot adventure, or reserve your pledge for €5 and get a free pin and sticker sheet! The campaign will launch in late September.
For those of you who like concise lists, here’s what to expect from the campaign and the expansion.
Haven’s Heir (campaign book):
Campaign book for The Hidden Isle, featuring 10-13 adventures written by a hand-picked lineup of veteran adventure writers.
Adventures follow a general structure but are loose enough that players can choose which leads to pursue.
The future of Dioscoria depends not only on your success but also on what you consider the right direction for the island.
Unique art by some of the most distinctive illustrators in indie TTRPGs.
Dioscorian Library (supplement book):
Rules for familiars: creatures sent to help and guide your group.
Two new classes: the Alchemist and the Wild Walker. Also includes the Scholar and Swindler classes from The Sewers and the Stars.
New rules for combat, weapons, and richer downtime.
More tips for game masters to help them get inspired.
A full example of play, from the start of a scenario until the end of the downtime.
New beasts and magical creatures!
Suggested NPCs and factions for various cities, to help GMs get inspired.
Rules errata.
Includes all pre-written adventures to date.
All character sheets also included in the physical book.
And there is more! The campaign will have a plethora of juicy items, such as maps, a DM screen and progress clocks. Once you sign up for the campaign, all shall be revealed as we approach the launch in September.
And that’s our big announcement of the day! But there is more …
If you are searching for a group to play with, StartPlaying (July 15th | July 19th | every THU) has you covered now. Hop on over and sign up for a game led by a veteran GM! You can use this coupon code for a $10 discount: EESPG26. The games on July 15th and 19th will also be streamed live to Backerkit ENNIES EMPORIUM.
If you are keen to see others play The Hidden Isle, we have numerous options! We just finished a full playthrough video of the “Metaphagus” one-shot, where a handful of Dioscorian agents descend into an infected mind to battle not only demons, but also ghosts from their own pasts. And tomorrow, July 15 at 6PM CET / 9AM PST, we’ll be streaming a live session of “To Kill A Sacred Beast”. You can watch the stream via the Backerkit launch page of the Haven’s Heir campaign.
Once again, I extend our offer to join the banter and fun via Discord and our socials.
A lightning update regarding your upcoming orders! Some of you might have received the smoketest for the campaign already, but we are still fine-tuning thanks to the hot mess known as tariffs.
