The Hero's Handbook Playtest is here!
about 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 06, 2022 at 05:09:43 AM

You've been waiting for quite a while and now your patience is rewarded with 80,000 words of evocative and crunchy playtest material for the Hero's Handbook!

But First...check out the screen!

We got back a proof copy of the screen and it looks fantastic. We cannot wait to get these in our hands and into yours!

ELHH Playtest Packet - What’s inside?

All the most important material for playtesting the new and revised Epic Legacy Core rules! This is mostly a focus on character options, as once we have a solid bearing on the power of characters, we can ensure the rest of the system around them functions well. These builds are based off the content found in the Epic Legacy Core Rules, but have undergone significant revisions aiming to ensure balance, quality design, and many more goals. You will find three key components to the document.

  • Part 1: Epic Prestige Classes: This section contains everything you need to build a basic Epic character from 21st to 30th level for every 5thEdition core class. If you are interested to see the kind of characters you can create with the Epic Legacy system, start here!
  • Part 2: Customization Options: This section is all about additional ways to style your character. In this case, we are focusing primarily on Epic feats. Try them out in conjunction with the character options in Part 1 for interesting results!
  • Part 3: Epic Magic: What fantasy game is complete without spells? In this section you’ll find all the wonderful magical mayhem your Epic characters can unleash. Explore all the cool combos and synergies found here to make some of the most powerful spellcasters to ever grace the game.

What’s Changed?

A better question might be what hasn’t changed, but in the interest of helping folks figure out what to look for, we are providing a general list. Inside the packet is a full list of changes. 

Giving Feedback

 As with every playtest, feedback from the community is essential to the process. We are keen on knowing your thoughts and experiences on the content above. To provide us with your perspective, please reach out to us directly via the 2CGaming Discord #elhh-playtest-feedback channel or via this google form or by clicking the feedback icon! We will be listening over the next couple of weeks for all your comments and using them to adjust the final product. We may even run a few community playtests ourselves! Thanks again for waiting and we look forward to hearing from you! 

Next Steps

Please join the Discord and discuss all thing Epic Legacy and 2CGaming with us and other fans!

We'll have another update for you at the beginning of May (May 5th or sooner)!

As Always,

Thank you so much for your support and patience as we endeavor to make this project the next incarnation of Epic Legacy so you can create and play truly epic campaigns.

You like Epic play, how about more Titans and an Epic campaign?
about 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 22, 2022 at 07:14:31 PM

Let us help you run the most Epic campaign imaginable!

More than 850 game masters have pledged to support Tome of Titans 2, but we need your help to take on our most ambitious project yet. The next stretch goal at $75,000 kicks off the Eldritch Epoch adventure with Chapter 1, Midnight Reign. This Epic campaign takes characters from levels 21 to 30 in a plane-spanning saga over five chapters. Will you answer the call to battle the Emperor of Midnight?


Tome of Titans 2 Is Funded

The Eldritch Epoch is icing on the cake, because the Tome of Titans 2 Kickstarter is already funded and includes 22 titans, compatible with standard 5E and Epic Legacy, to use in your campaigns as the BBEG or as a noble guide for your epic heroes. In addition to the 22 titans, we’re adding six more titans as part of a monthly digital titan magazine thanks to current backers.

Community Supported

Our supporting game masters have this to say about Tome of Titans Vol. 2 and Eldritch Epoch:

Pledge Now to get more titans in Tome of Titans Vol 2 and answer the call to battle the Emperor of Midnight in Eldritch Epoch!

DM Screen Update

If you added on the DM screen we have a preview of the inside view. With this screen you’ll have all the epic content you need at your fingertips to run a smooth high-level game. We're just getting the print order for the screens in this week! Very excited to get these over to you all!

As always, let us know if there are any questions or concerns! Hard at work on the Hero's Handbook, but wanted to share the newest Epic expansions beyond the Handbook!

January Update – Progress on Hero's Handbook and 2CGaming News!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Jan 31, 2022 at 12:20:38 AM

Progress Update

The manuscript is near complete, expected to be finished and with editing at the end of February, followed by formatting in March, and in your hands as the community edition in April or early May. We are a bit behind schedule since the last update, but excited by the progress thus far!


Art Update

The art is coming along nicely. Our most recent turnover, the Eldritch City of Carcossa tears at your imagination. What do you think goes on there? This fantastic art is by talented artist Bruce Brenneise.

December Update - Lots of Progress!
over 2 years ago – Mon, Dec 20, 2021 at 04:39:11 AM

The Epic Legacy Hero's Handbook is clipping right along! Great progress, but we'll keep the update fairly quick.


Progress Update

Nearly Finished with the Art!

Some great progress over the last month, with the art nearly complete. There's been some progress on the writing & design as well, but we're expecting a majority of that to hit January & early February after the 2CGaming team comes back from the end-of-year Long Rest.


Art

Quick art updates - we're absolutely in love with the work we're getting from Tina Fulton (for those of you following Dragonflight, Tina's the artist behind the *terrifying* brain eater dragon therein). Tina's a marvelous concept artist and put together some wonderful concepts for an "upgraded" owlbear!

Upgraded Owlbear (+Celestial!)

Beyond that, Ambrose Hoilman & Jason Strutz have been *hard* at work on all the relics (among other things)! Check out some of these below:

Epic Legacy Relics - Finally in Print!

Next Steps

The next Kickstarter update will be Sunday, January 30, or earlier.


We are currently on-track for a March delivery of the PDF and August delivery of the prints! No schedule changes at this time.
