Fantasy Tabletop Devlog – Kickstarter Pre-Launch, Chaos Unit Reveal & Frozen Realms Origins

Hi warriors!

We’re super excited, and we can’t wait to have you on this journey with us!

One last sneak peek before the launch 👁️‍🗨️

Let’s take a look at structures you can build in your conquered lands!

What’s that… creeping out of the wastes?

We’ve added new Chaos Unit… a mysterious and twisted creature born in the shadows.
Check it out 👀

Hellcroak

A grotesque fusion of sorcery and evolution. Fast, and way too nimble for something that large…

Infused with demonic strength at birth. Poison pumped into its egg before it even hatched.

The result? A creature so toxic, just breathing near it could mean death.

But that’s not even the worst part…

Hellcroaks hunt. They see clearly for miles, analyze terrain, track movement — and leap with terrifying precision.

One gulp… and you’re gone.

So if you’re wandering the Wastes and spot colorful, venom-dripping eggs…

Turn around. Immediately.

We’ve also added a fresh piece of lore for you to dive into!

📖 Lore Drop – Irium Mines

Once a booming industrial hub, home to thousands and one of the crown jewels of the Empire’s infrastructure.

But that was before the great Chaos assault.

Burned to ashes, the region now stands silent and shattered. Yet, beneath the ruined stone lies Irium — the rarest and most valuable metal known to the Empire.

For over a decade, the Emperor has sought to reclaim this vital region. Every attempt is met with fierce resistance… as if the Chaos itself grows stronger the moment life returns to the mines.

Today, only small excavation teams venture into the ruins — always with military escort, always with high risk. But fully reclaiming this region could change the fate of the Empire’s armies forever.

🌍 The Origins of Frozen Realms

And finally — we’re going back to where it all began.
Want to know how Chaos and Zarhi came to be?
Some explanations are in order…

Before Chaos.

Before the Zarhi.

Frozen Realms was nothing but a land of ice and snow.

Humanity lived scattered across the tundras — limited technology, constant struggle, barely surviving the brutal climate. Nomadic tribes wandered, rarely settling, for fear of exhausting what little food remained.

And then… everything changed.

Chaos entered the world… Was it the first time? No one knows for sure. But it spread — corrupting everything it touched. A darkness that couldn’t be outrun.

With extinction looming, humanity united for the first time.

One banner. One hope. One last battle.

But it wasn’t enough.

The war turned to slaughter. The Chaos was endless.

Our numbers too few. Our weapons too weak.

The end was near…

Until they came.

The Zarhi.

Ancient beasts and magical warriors, terrifying and glorious.

With impossible magic and monstrous creatures, they stormed into the battlefield and changed the course of history.

They saved us.

But that was only the beginning.

They taught us.

Lifted us.

Gave us knowledge beyond our wildest imagination.

Magic. Technology. Growth.

And that is how it came to be…

And that’s it for this week’s update!
