Ave Custodes!
Another greater goal has been reached! From now on, you can add the Adventure Book "Mysteries of the Empire I" to your rewards, receiving a physical book with 8 scenarios together with your other book(s).
Mysteries of the Empire I will be a hardcover book with 96 pg full color, including adventures by Gerard Cristopher Klug, Laura Cardinale, Marco Rafarà, Mark Rein-Hagen, Gareth Hanrahan, David Esbrì, Ciro Alessandro Sacco, Francesca Garello and Andrea Angiolino!
These scenarios will bring your Custodes to the distant corners of the Empire, facing terrible menaces and unnatural catastrophes (did someone say "Pompeii"?)
(the final appearance of the cover may be different)
Next goals on our path are:
- an 8-pages Corebook Upgrade about Sacred Mysteries and ancient powers available for the Custodes.
- Lex Arcana Dice Set (9 dice) included in the Demiurge Senior Pledge + available as an Add-On, PLUS a Compendium about Potions and Poisons with PDF LOGO.
Stay tuned, spread the word!

Ave Custodes!
The first ten days of the campaign are gone and the next goals are very close: just a few people are missing to reach the 400% of the funding, an outstanding target!
We can't wait to show you the next Stretch Goal to be revealed. And when we say “we can't wait” we mean it literally! :D As a preview of our path for the next days, here it is the Stretch Goal planned for 90.000 euro: the official set of Lex Arcana Dice.
It's a complete set of NINE dice: 1d3, 1d4, 1d5, 2d6, 1d8, 1d10, 1d12 and 1d20: all you need to play your adventures in the Empire Without End.
As you can read in our Quickstarter Set, the Virtutes and Peritae defining the Custodes, as well as their weapons and armor, are recorded on a character sheet as a numerical value. Whenever the gameplay calls for a die roll, for example, to adjudicate the outcome of an action, the players roll a dice combination corresponding to the appropriate Attribute value. The sum of the maximum number of the die/dice to roll should be exactly that value. For example, if the Attribute value is 8, player can roll 1d8, 2d4 or 1d3+1d5; if the value is 12, player can roll 1d12, 2d6, 3d4 or any other 1-3 dice combination. The dice allowed in these rolls are the ones in the official set: d3, d4, d5, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20.
A complete set of this eight dice (+ another 1d6) will be included in every Demiurge Senior Pledge, and also available as an ADD-ON! The same Stretch Goal (90.000 euro) also offers a new Game Addendum with PDF Logo: Potions and poisons in the Empire, a guide for scholars, healers, and assassins.
Help us to spread the word and enlist other Custodes, to make this possible for everyone. We have a number of other surprises after this one!
We would also like to invite you to talk about the game or chat with other (old and new) fan on our Social Media:

Ave Custodes,
The Gods of Rome look and smile at us with favor. Today is the day we reached the greatest privileges of this campaign so far: counting 1000+ Backers and bringing you two different Unlocked Goals!
The first one is the fourth CoreBook Upgrade: 8+ pages about New Magical Rituals for everybody, directly in the Core Book (PDF or PRINT).
The second one is a surprise: something we did not plan, but we decided to add the campaign to celebrate the OUTSTANDING GOAL OF 1000 BACKERS. We will put a second Deck in the Demiurge Pack: it's the Contubernium Deck, dedicated to the Custodes. It will contain Weapon, Armor, and Equipment cards. You can receive it as a physical deck and a PDF with the Demiurge Senior Pledge, and as a PDF with Initiate and Demiurge Junior Pledges.
Now it's time to continue our journey... The next Stretch Goals are the unlock of the first Adventure Book of our line, MYSTERIES OF THE EMPIRE, as an Add-on, then another CoreBook Upgrade about Sacred Mysteries, in PDF and/or PRINT version for everybody.
So stay tuned, spread the word and be prepared for the next surprise!
