Free League Announces Double Header Dragonbane Kickstarter

Share This Post

 Today, Free League Publishing is announcing not one, but two expansions for the multiple award-winning Dragonbane RPG. Both Arkand – City of Waves and Flames and the Book of Magic will officially launch on Kickstarter on June 3, 2025.

As an exclusive offering in this campaign, there will be special limited-edition versions of both Arkand – City of Waves and Flames and the Book of Magic, with deluxe faux leather covers and gold foil stamping. Backers who support the Kickstarter campaign at any pledge level that begets physical rewards within the first 48 hours will receive an early pledge bonus: a 216mm x 279mm print of the cover art of their choosing: either Arkand – City of Waves and Flames or the Book of Magic.

Arkand – City of Waves and Flames Key Features

  • A rich, bustling setting: Over a dozen adventure sites spread across five districts, along with a number of campaign seeds, and even more adventure sites available to be unlocked as stretch goals in this Kickstarter.
     
  • Danger and intrigue: The player characters will experience a fierce power struggle in the city’s underworld, take on the role of demon hunters, and uncover secrets about Arkand’s storied past that could change the city forever.
     
  • Award-winning creativity: Arkand – City of Waves and Flames is written by Johan Sjöberg and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla. If unlocked as a stretch goal, this book will also include a large separate 432 x 558mm full-color map drawn by Francesca Baerald.

Book of Magic Key Features

  • More magic: The Book of Magic adds at least five new schools of magic to your Dragonbane game, including harmonism, demonology, necromancy, witchcraft, and illusionism – as well as new spells for the existing schools of general magic, animism, elementalism, and mentalism.
     
  • More spells: All featured schools of magic come with a wide range of spells, which now come in five ranks. Each school is also described with information about their practitioners, station and reputation in the world, and what kind of spiritus familarius their members typically summon.
     
  • More award-winning creativity: The Book of Magic is written by Mattias Johnsson Haake and Mattias Lilja (creators of Symbaroum) with Tomas Härenstam (Dragonbane Core Set) as co-writer and editor, and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and David Brasgalla.
