Hello there companions!
Boy-oh-boy do we have some exciting things to share!
Having passed the halfway mark of our Kickstarter campaign, it's a good time to gather for a around the fire and contemplate all that we've accomplished on the journey so far, and all that is still waiting to be explored on the journey ahead!
Play Legend In The Mist Online, For Free!
We have partnered with StartPlaying.Games to bring you an incredible Demo Week of Legend In The Mist games run by professional GMs, from Feb 29th through March 7th, when this campaign ends!
There are over a 100 LitM games already waiting for you to just pick from, join, and play! If you didn't play through the Tinderbox Demo yet, this is your chance. Find a game here:
StartPlaying.Games hosts paid games BUT if you follow this link, you'll get a $10 gift, enough to get you a seat at one of these professionally-run games:
Following the great time we had with you all on the actual play livestream and our character creation livestream, we will meet again for a third livestream on Thursday 2/29 at 1pm EST, this time to make Challenges together!
On this livestream, game creator Amit Moshe and MC Kevin Carpenter will create at least one mundane Challenge, one Creature of Twilight, and one land to traverse -- showcasing how you can make your own Challenges for Legend In The Mist, in advance or on the fly, as you play.
Mark the date and then head on to the comments tab, where we will be taking your ideas for the mundane, Twilight, and land Challenges that we will be making on the stream!
Everything Unlocked So Far
If we reach $700K, all Ravenhome and Thaumatruge pledge levels will get a set of rewritable Theme Cards!
As the campaign approaches the $640K mark (!!! -- thank you backers!), it's worth taking stock of all the Stretch Goals we unlocked and what it means for your pledges:
The Ravenhome and Thaumaturge pledge levels now include River Pebble Dice and Scene Maps & Tokens. If we make it to $700, they will also have a deck of rewritable Theme Cards! And that's not nearly the end of what we have planned for physical reward upgrades...
The Core book will have Expanded Survival & Bestiary as well as Solo and Duo modes
The Setting Book will include two more factions (Cold-Hearted and Burnt Branch) as well as another adventure (Craggen Highlands), with yet another adventure just around the corner at $650K (Shrine of the Lady)!
MC Kevin will create video guides to usher your players into the game and Ian from Tabletop RPG Music will create a soundtrack for the game!

We're extremely grateful to you backers for helping make this game all it can be. We have a lot more in store for you, so stay tuned!

New Stretch Goals + Livestream #2 in 3 hours!
over 2 years ago
– Tue, Feb 13, 2024 at 08:05:26 AM
Hi companions!
Our journey continues today, with so many exciting discoveries!
New Stretch Goals!
You've been amazing at suggesting the things you'd like to see next in the stretch goals, and we've picked up on your cues. The Stretch Goals journey map has been updated on the campaign page with the following new goals:
$600K MC Kevin's Video Guides: MC Kevin Carpenter will create a dedicated How-To-Play series for Legend In The Mist that you can share with your players for an instant video tutorial of the game and character creation. Ask any City of Mist player or MC on how invaluable these have been to them, or mosey on to our YouTube channel to see for yourself!
$650K New Adventure: In addition to the existing three adventures and the fourth unlocked adventure, the Setting Book will include a fifth adventure, focused on The Shrine of the Lady, a hidden location in the wild parts of the Dales, that was the former center of worship for practitioners of the Oldways. Has the once-benevolent shrine been corrupted, or is it simply guarding its secrets?
$700K Theme Cards: A deck of forty (40) rewritable theme cards will be added to all Ravenhome Slipcase and Thaumaturge Collector pledge levels. These cards replace your character sheet and can be physically swapped for new theme cards when your character replaces a theme. This accessory is so popular for City of Mist that it often sells out before it arrives!
More Stretch Goals are coming, including expanded VTT support and Challenge cards!
Starting In 3 Hours: Character Creation & System Livestream!
As promised, game creator Amit Moshe and MC Kevin Carpenter will go live today, February 13th, at 2pm EST, to explore more deeply how characters are built and created in Legend In The Mist, as well as answer your questions about the game system itself. Watch us here on the update page or on the Campaign page, or click the video to watch us on YouTube.
Vote on a Character!
In preparation of the stream, we wrote three character pitches that we could work on during the stream, and that could end up as one of the 16 characters in the Character Folio pack. Check them out and then head on the main campaign Comments tab to vote on which one you MOST want us to build today!
Gaella of the Blade: Hailing from the clans of the Craggen Highlands, Gaella is a fierce wandering sellsword who no longer has a home. On a quest to regain her lost memories, she made a deal with a stranger by the Witchwood who gifted her with a bewitched blade and named four twisted beasts she must slay. The stranger promised to help restore her past in return to the trophies taken from vanquished monsters. Gaella now roams the Wanderlands, seeking to hone her skills battling Creatures of Twilight and hunting for her wretched quarry.
Gorna and Truffles: Gorna is an aspiring chef with an appetite for adventure, wandering the Dales in search of the best recipes and ingredients. Accompanying him for the ride is the giant boar Truffles, who carries their stockpile of ingredients and cooking supplies and also protects Gorna from danger. Together these two gourmands are on a quest to cook every dish in the Dales, and share good food with everyone they meet on the way.
Kinsi: To the people of the Dales, Kinsi is an eccentric peddler who travels from town to town seeking strange trinkets to fill their sack of curios. Unbeknownst to the Dalespeople, Kinsi is a Child of Twilight from the Burning Branch sent to collect relics and investigate the extent to which wicked forces have corrupted the pastoral Dales. Cheerful and relatable, Kinsi has made friends in every village as a curious collector of all things rare and mysterious. But behind their gleeful persona still hides a sidereal being who could reveal themselves in all their might, if and when it comes to that.
Excited? So are we. Make sure to vote for your favorite in the comments and see you soon on the livestream!

Hi there companions,
We have some exciting items for you today. Pack up some apples for the journey!
More Unlocked Stretch Goals!
Double the number of Character Folios!!! The Character Folio set will be increased from 8 to a whopping 16 pregen characters, each an individual from the Dales or beyond with unique themes, motivations, abilities, and play style. (Everyone who is getting the Character Folio in the Ravenhome Set, Collector Set or as an Add-On will get this, there's no need to add anything.)
New Faction! The Hearts of Ravensdale Setting Book will included expanded information about the Burnt Branch, a faction of the Children of Twilight (to which Sorrowbalm from the Tinderbox demo belongs), who dwell in the Aldenwood, southwest of the Dales.
Soundtrack! Ten (10) loopable tracks of beautiful, forlorn, and thrilling fantasy RPG music by Ian from Tabletop RPG Music, who also composed the Kickstarter video theme song.
The next goal is Solo mode and 1-on-1 (or Duo) mode!
Livestream Tomorrow 1pm EST
Creator Amit Moshe, Lead Artist Daniel Pinal, MC Kevin Carpenter, and friends will all be going live tomorrow at 1pm EST.
You've told us what you'd like for the livestream, so following popular demand, we will cover these aspects:
Introduction to the Setting (~15min)
Actual Play (~1hr) - The Pond In The Tower scene
General Q&A (~1hr)
Our next livestream, on Tuesday Feb 13th, 2pm EST, will revolve around the other subjects you requested, namely a system Q&A and Character Creation and Evolution. All livestreams will be recorded and added to the campaign page, so you can rewatch and share.
The Painted Map of The Dales!
You can now start delving into the different regions of the Dales! We received this update to the gorgeous map by artist L'Arpenteur ("Strider"). It's not the final final version, but it's close, and it gives some insights into the Dales' internal geography as well as where other locations are positioned in relations to the Dales. Click to enlarge, and tell us what you think in the comments:

Excited?! Here's How You Can Spread The Word
We're so excited about your enthusiastic response to Legend In The Mist, and we want more people to hear about this setting, art style, and unique system!
If you're excited about this campaign too and want to help get it in front of more eyes, here is what you can do:
1. Pick any amazing LitM media to share.
Art: We think art speaks volumes, so we suggest sharing one of these top eye-grabbing images, the above map, or any one of the included alternatives. Click the link to download.
No need for lengthy explanations if you don't feel inspired. It only takes a moment. Some groups don't allow Kickstarter promotion for good reasons, so make sure you share something that is valuable to the group like art or a free game (the demo).
You don't have to share the Kickstarter link - if people are intrigued by Legend In The Mist, they'll find it. Also, please don't spam - if someone already shared this image, share something else, or try another group.
THANK YOU for helping us get the word out there! If everyone who reads this update will share one piece of art in one place, we'll probably get through a few more stretch goals very soon!
See you all on the live stream tomorrow!

Do All Great Stories Start Off So Exciting??
over 2 years ago
– Tue, Feb 06, 2024 at 05:08:40 PM
Hi there companions,
Well, what can we say except WOW!
You've blown us away with your unequivocal HELL YEAH reaction to this campaign. We are so excited that not only will Legend In the Mist be funded, it will be bigger and better and with more accessories thanks to the incredible love you've shown! In ten hours we have crossed $300,000 and blown through many stretch goals, including:
River Pebble Dice: A set of eight (8) River Pebble Dice will be added to all Ravenhome Slipcase Sets (included also in the Thaumaturge Collector pledge level). They are now also available as an add-on!
New Faction: The Hearts of Ravensdale Setting Book will introduce the Cold-Hearted cult of spies and assassins hailing from Stormhelm, northeast of the Dales.
New Adventure: In addition to the existing three adventures, the Setting Book will include a fourth adventure in the Craggen Highlands, just west of the Dales.
Scene Maps & Tokens: A set of five (5) scene maps as well as 20 tokens from the Starter Adventure will be added to all Ravenhome Slipcase Sets (included also in the Thaumaturge Collector pledge level).
Expanded Survival & Bestiary: The Legend In The Mist Core Book will contain an expanded section on wilderness Challenges for your journey, including lands to traverse and beasts to content with -- or tame!
And more coming! For the next stretch goal, we'll double the number of Character Folios in the Character Folio set from 8 to a whopping 16 pregen characters! If you've pledged for Ravenhome Set or the Collector Set, of if you've picked up the Character Folios as an add-on, you're in for a treat!
Those who have played City of Mist before probably know and love these character sheets, and will enjoy them in Legend In The Mist. Take a look at the Tinderbox Demo if you haven't yet for some examples.
The Sun Is Setting On The First Day Reward!
We're almost halfway through the first day, which means the time is running out for enjoying the two free acorn-shaped dice you'll be getting if you back during the first 24hrs!
Tomorrow morning, 10am EST, the first day reward ends, so if you're considering backing this, you better get in on it soon!
What's Next?
We want to hear from you! We have a lot of questions for you, so get ready for a series of polls on the Kickstarter page comments. Let us know your thoughts about what you'd like to see in the upcoming livestream (see below) or which sample character is your favorite. If you have any questions - shoot them over in a comment!
Also, on Friday Feb 9th at 12pm PST/ 3pm EST, we will run a livestream with creator Amit Moshe, artist Daniel Pinal, MC Kevin Carpenter, and producer Erina Liddle who will talk all things Legend In The Mist and answer all your questions. We will share more about this later, but put on your calendar and come hang out with us!
Until then, stoke the campfire and warm up the stew!
