Project Update: After the project is before the project!



Dear friends and backers,
 

we are super proud that our mega-project Serenissima Obscura has come to a close: 
All books and supplements have been printed and most backers have received their packages. Our immediate contacts on the Ars Magica Discord server seem to like it a lot. 
We are sooo thankful to everyone ho backed and supported our project. Without you, my dark version of Renaissance Venice would never have come alive!


First official reviews and spotlights


Check out a first impression of Serenissima Obscura by Chits and Cats as well as a review of the Magical Renaissance Player's Guide for 5e on the same channel. Her verdict: This is awesome! ❤️

Geeknative says – amongst other: Visually, the book is a triumph! 😍

Precioso! says Carlos de Montedemo. 🥰

We're a bit proud now.

And ... we are of forward to your reactions and your impressions when you set out to play in our mystical version of Renaissance Venice. 

In case that you have missed the campaign: 

Vortex @ Conventions

You might know that some of our Serenissima Obscura supplements are only available as digital versions. The print versions of the maps and the two extra books for 5e and Ars Magica were exclusive for the backers of the campaign. That's so sad!
However, we have some print copies leftover from the crowdfunding and will bring them to conventions until they run out. 🏃🏽‍♂️
We are looking forward to handing them over to you at the following German conventions: 
  • Nordcon, Hamburg
  • Krönchen Con, Siegen
  • Spielwiesn, Augsburg
  • Dreieichcon, Hessen
  • Saarcon, Saarbrücken


Coming in March 2027: Shanarel

Shanarel is a whimsical fantasy campaign setting for tabletop RPGs, set on a vast and vibrant continent where the strange is ordinary and the impossible feels just within reach. Designed as a 5E campaign setting and easily adaptable to other systems, it offers a rich and inviting fantasy setting guide for GMs and players alike.

It’s a joyful ride for GMs and players who delight in colourful, curious, and delightfully odd adventures – the kind of tabletop roleplaying experience that embraces wonder, playfulness, and discovery. Shanarel is a world you might actually want to live in: gentler than our own, yet still brimming with mystery, magic, and just enough danger to keep things exciting.

Expect talking oddities, peculiar cultures, and moments of quiet beauty woven between bursts of adventure. This is escapism with a smile – a fantasy worldbook where imagination takes the lead and exploration is always rewarded.

Fully compatible with D&D 5E, Shanarel is also flexible by design – a system-agnostic campaign setting you can easily adapt to suit your game and make entirely your own.
