Full component specifications
The complete, itemised spec for each part of the production - for our own reference, for backers who want the detail, and for the makers we are sourcing from.
The boxed game
Box, board, dice, bags, tokens, character sheets, rulebook - full spec & art pack.
Leather spellbook (optional)
The A5 6-ring leather binder - materials, hardware & emboss art.
Print-on-demand
Fast & press / review copies, made one at a time.
How it is being made (and why it is honest)
We are open about the supply chain, because the spellbook is unusual to produce and we would rather set expectations than over-promise.
- The game components (box, board, cards, tokens, dice, minis) come from an established tabletop-game manufacturer.
- The optional leather spellbook is made by a specialist leather bindery - a different supplier from the game factory.
- For fast & press / review copies we also use print-on-demand partners who can make a single copy in about a week.
The roadmap
Where we are and where we are headed. Dates are targets, and we will update backers as each stage locks.
- Now - live
Play it free online
The full game runs in your browser at play.arcomage.org so you can learn it before your copy arrives.
- Soft launch
Gamefound campaign
We open on Gamefound to gather backers, lock the component spec, and confirm manufacturing quotes (this sourcing is happening right now).
- Next
Kickstarter + Indiegogo
A wider crowdfunding push once the campaign and pricing are proven.
- After funding
Sampling & production
Approve physical samples of the box and the leather spellbook, then run production with our factory and bindery.
- Fulfilment
Shipping to backers
Games ship from the manufacturer; the optional binders from the bindery (and, for the first orders, sometimes hand-mailed by us). Press & fast copies fulfil on demand throughout.
