Truth Hidden in Verse

You’ll need this later

Hard times taught me numbers better than any school could.
All I had was grit, guts, and a dream with no roof.
I ain’t sayin’ I cheated — I just played smarter than they liked.
Luck’s a funny thing… but it listens now.

Mekhi saw fellas like me — bottom of the barrel, no chance.
Evened the field. Flipped the whole damn table.
Kinda poetic, ain’t it? Justice dressed in fire and smoke.
He made it so a guy like me could own the house.
I deal the cards now — and I don’t owe nobody nothin’.

- Flamion, Ignaran Casino Owner

These words are more than what meets the eye. Decipher them and you’ll have the key for even greater rewards. Hold tight to that key until the doors open.

We’ll let you know what to do with it…

A WELCOME TO ASTRA:

ACTION CARDS BROADEN YOUR ACTION ARSENAL; FOR THE PARTY’S GOOD OR DEMISE

The Tower tests more than just your strength—it tests your judgment. With over 150 Action Cards, you’ll gain the tools to manipulate, support, or sabotage your fellow players.

These cards are designed for Co-op plays, PvP twists, and self-serving power grabs. Some can shift the tide of battle. Others might heal you at just the right time. Of course we had to add a few to really tempt the party’s will.

Every card in your hand becomes a loaded decision. Will you shield your ally? Strike a rival? Or keep the power for yourself?

The system is built to pit you against each other, but it’s your choice if you take the bait.

No move exists in a vacuum. Every action, every silence, every play becomes part of the story. Trust is a currency, and betrayal isn’t always a loss.

Sometimes the right move… is the wrong one for someone else.

Example Event Card:
A spectral guide emerges from the veil, its presence subtle yet unwavering. It whispers guidance, lending you its wisdom.

Summon a spirit to aid you, granting advantage your next dice roll.

In the coming newsletters, we’ll delve deeper into each card type and how they can twist, elevate, or sabotage your climb up the Tower of Aeon.

BACKER REWARDS

WE CARE ABOUT HIGH QUALITY; MAYBE TOO MUCH

Sample Production

As fellow nerds and collectors, we know how much it matters to have materials that feel as good as they look. That’s why we’ve gone all in on quality, right from the start, choosing designs that aren’t just beautiful, but built to last.

Even the game box gets special treatment: it features a lenticular print (that’s the holographic layer that shifts as you move it, revealing hidden details). We’ve added select spot gloss where it counts, and embroidery in key pieces—small touches that elevate the tactile experience without overwhelming it.

We’ve been intentional about every material choice for long-term durability and sustainability. This isn’t just a game, it’s a keepsake. A piece of your collection that’s meant to be treasured for years to come.

We can’t wait to share more with you in the coming weeks leading up to September. This thing’s going to look and feel as epic as it plays.

New Sub-Class: Battlemage

Sub-class of Sorcerer.

Battlemages are a rare breed of sorcerers who blend martial discipline with arcane fury. Forged through discipline and awakened by innate magic, they charge into battle with both blade and flame, dancing between steel and spell with deadly grace. While other sorcerers keep their distance, the Battlemage closes in, channeling raw power through enchanted strikes and elemental surges. Their spells are swift, their movements calculated, and their presence on the battlefield a force of relentless momentum. Whether clad in charred armor or wielding an arcane-forged staff, a Battlemage turns the chaos of war into an elegant storm of precision and devastation.
