Add-On Update: The GM Screen is here!✨

– Mon, Feb 19, 2024 at 10:34:51 AM
As we are approaching the finalization of the PDF version of EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos, we would like to present you with the current version of our Game Master’s Screen. Feast your eyes!
As you may notice at a glance, our GM Screen is three-fold. On its first page, you will find all of the Conditions of the 5th edition, listed to be used as a quick reference. In addition, we have included information on specific elements such as the Exhaustion levels and their effects, Healing Potions categories and rules on Travel pacing, which are more or less all that we have found ourselves looking up time and again in our home sessions.
The second and third pages are reserved for the content of our own EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos. We have included everything a Dungeon Master will need in order to have a smooth experience when running a game with our compendium, without having to pause and look things up in its 300 pages. We are very happy with the aesthetic result and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
The Surveys are on Death Saving Throws
The BackerKit late-pledge has been up for a few weeks now. If you pledged to the Kickstarter, you need to complete the survey that was sent to your email! So check your inbox for mail sent by BackerKit and finalize your order. You will need to put in an address, in order to calculate shipping fees and tax, answer a quick question (and take a peek at some of our devious future plans), add any of our ✨fabulous add-ons✨, and that’s it. Five minute adventure!
However, if you have any trouble doing so, please reach out to us and we will do our best to help you.
Late-Pledge period is almost over!
While we’re on the subject of the late-pledge, there are less than two weeks left to preorder EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos. Have a friend that missed the initial campaign? Now’s the last chance to hop on the bandwagon!
Aside from the book, our add-ons are also seeing quite a bit of action! The Deck of Fates is currently the most popular, with our upgraded dice set a close second—at $10 off their market price too! Finally, there are still a couple of slots left for our prestigious Carve your Saga pledge. It’s the final chance to immortalize your favorite characters into EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos, inspiring new heroes unto adventure!
CHECK OUT OUR FRIENDS: VEIL OF THE ETERNAL NIGHT
Veil of the Eternal Night is a grimdark fantasy adventure set in the northeastern region of Ancerra in its second supereon during an era of high fantasy. Inspired by gothic horror greats, this massive 3-book trilogy will have at least 700+ pages between the player tome & campaign series. This series is fully developed for two systems and will come in your choice of 5e or MythCraft.
It boasts over 13 new subclasses, 12 artifacts that level up with you, 12 Mythic Boss-Level monsters, new lineages, backgrounds, feats, items, spells, a fear & sanity system and tons more stuff! Support them here 👇
Playing God is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by mythologies from around the world. Instead of playing a mortal hero, you are a god. During deity creation, you choose one or more domains, an origin, and a symbol.
You can play this game with or without a GM, and as a solo game or with multiple players! No matter how many people are at your table, the Deck of Fate simulates the mystifying actions of mortals as the ages roll on.
Will you create worlds and populate them? Will you steal worshipers and domains from your enemies? Will you and other gods fight as avatars? Will you create afterlives and connected planes of reality? Will you sunder pantheons? Or will you save the multiverse from its foretold doom? Follow the project here 👇
Surprise! Free Mythic Path 👀

The time that we'll be sending EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos to the printer, as well as delivering the digital version of the book, draws near! From layout improvements, to editing comments, proofreading, graphic design and mechanical tweaks, we are veritably swamped with work.
But… What is this? What rises from the waters of Lethe? Foretold, yet thought forgotten by the Fates themselves…
STRETCH GOAL Unlocked: The Primordial!
Strange, we know. After all, our Kickstarter campaign did not manage to reach this Stretch Goal. But after popular demand, and through great effort, we managed to include the Primordial as the 15th and final addition to the long list of Mythic Paths in EXORDIUM! We've finished nailing down all the relevant elements (pun intended), such as the Mythic Talents and connections to Mythic Nemesi to accompany this Mythic Path and bring it on par with all the others in the book.
The Primordial is an invoker who channels the elements of creation to rekindle or extinguish the spark of life. This new Mythic Path along with in-depth lore, 5 Origin stories, 5 Mythic features, and 12 Mythic Trials has now been included for free with any digital or hardcover purchase of EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos!
Artist: Othon Nikolaidis
This is our final hurrah to reward your faith in this project and deliver the best end-product that we can—numbers be damned.💙We hope you enjoy reading EXORDIUM at least half as much as we did creating it alongside you.

🎺HEAR YE, HEAR YE🎺
The surveys for EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos have been successfully dispatched to all our backers!

While additional details are available in the survey email, feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need assistance with any aspect of the process, we will help you with anything you need.
For those who did not have a chance to back us during our Kickstarter campaign:
Our late-pledge page is now live! In collaboration with BackerKit, we're offering the opportunity to pre-order EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos and its add-ons. Simply follow this link to choose the items you'd like to pre-order. Take note that certain items on our pre-order page, such as the All-in Package and the limited Carve your Saga pledge will never be available again.
Additionally, our dice set recently got upgraded! This is the last chance to grab them for their Kickstarter price, which is a hefty 33% discount from retail.
You will be able to finalize your order or join as a late-pledge backer throughout February, after which the PDF version will be finalized and sent for printing. However, completing the above as soon as possible is important so that we manage the details of freighting and shipping from our side. This is a very exciting time for us, and we are thrilled to get to the point when all our hard work will finally be in your hands. This project is a labor of passion, both from us and from you. We are making this together, and the progress behind the scenes so far is awesome.
Stretch Goals Update: Dice set upgrade! Smoke test for surveys has begun.

Resin Dice Upgrade
Rejoice friends! 📢
The Wondermaker has emerged from the forge bearing seven legendary artifacts! What we mean to say is that we’ve just received a test batch of the final design of the Mythic dice set. You will notice that it looks significantly different from the one initially presented on our Kickstarter. As it was noted then, that was not the final design and we have decided to upgrade the dice significantly, From a single solid color we have moved to a two-colored sharp-edged resin set reminiscent of the book’s cover; complete with glitter to match the ✨stars✨!
Following the success of our Kickstarter, we decided to make this shift, despite the significant increase in production cost, in order to bring you the dice set you deserve. Fear not, however; the final price will remain exactly the same for our backers, despite the upgrade! This is just one more way of showing our appreciation for your support. We hope that you are proud to have funded our campaign, and stick around for even more such news!
Early look into the sharp-edged resin dice set, complete with its unique mythic engraving.
Surveys Smoke Test
The first surveys for EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos are out! About 50 of our backers have been chosen at random to receive a survey that will allow you to finalize your pledge by submitting your shipping address, adding any extras you might want, or even upgrading your pledge to a higher tier!
For the lucky few who have received a survey, kindly let us know if everything is in order. We have exhaustively tested the functionality ourselves, but more feedback is always welcome. But wait, what does this mean for the 95% of our backers who didn’t receive a survey?
Within the next few days, all of our backers will be able to access our late-pledge platform. At the same time, even people who missed our Kickstarter will be able to pre-order everything that was offered in our initial campaign! We’ll be giving plenty of notice through our social media platforms and our Kickstarter updates for this because you don’t want to miss it; this will be your last chance to pre-order EXORDIUM!
Discord Server
Our Discord server is currently the best way to both communicate your feedback to us as well as discuss your impressions of EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos with our growing community!
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements, and progress updates on EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos as we finish the final stretch towards the book’s completion!
