Well, well, welll... another stretch goal achieved! 🥳

This means, on top of the previous stretch goal unlocks, the Scourge of the Sarafan book will now have a foil embossed front cover for anyone who has included a copy of the TTRPG in their order, making it an even higher-quality tome to adorn your tabletop or shelf. We'll provide some more details on this at a later date. 

Of course, the very highly requested £400k stretch goal, unlocking a vampire ruleset, is now within sights. With just over 2 weeks left for the campaign, we're confident we can do this. All of your support and sharing of this campaign massively helps us reaching other Legacy of Kain fans and making both our encyclopedia and TTRPG better for everyone. 

In the meantime, just in case we truly do take this campaign to the moon, we're busy cooking up another list of potential stretch goals - we'll reveal this once we surpass the existing stretch goals.

Thank you for all your support so far. Every stretch goal celebration brings us closer to making this collection the biggest and best it can be. See you at the next stretch goal 🪦

"Given the choice – whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire or to challenge the Fates for another throw, a better throw, against one's destiny – what was a king to do?

But does one ever truly have a choice?  One can only match, move by move, the machinations of Fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars." — Kain

Legacy of Kain: Defiance hit EU shelves today back in 2004. To celebrate, we've raided the archives for some Defiance concept art from series legend Kory Heinzen.

What are your favourite memories of Legacy of Kain: Defiance?

On Saturday, you helped us reach £300k in funding, meaning we unlocked our first three milestones under 24h after announcing them! 🤯

We are continually amazed at and very grateful for your response to this project. Legacy of Kain is an important series which we have wanted to celebrate for a long time, and with your backing, we are doing just that.

Given the overwhelming response, we can dive even deeper to the Legacy of Kain series! So far, you have unlocked:

🖼️ £250,000: Art prints for the Encyclopedia

🎨 £275,000: Art expansion for Scourge of the Sarafan from Lukasz Kowalczuk

And completing our first three unlocked stretch goals:

📖 £300,000: Marbled end papers for the encyclopedia

We heard you loud and clear on your suggestions for more material upgrades to the books themselves! The encyclopedia is of course extremely premium already, with metallic foil details on both the cover and slipcase, black printed fore-edges, and a gold bookmark ribbon.

But we're adding even more elegance to the Encyclopedia, as we introduce decorative marbled endpapers to the front and back of the Book of Nosgoth.

And, for the second week running, you have already unlocked the first stretch goal of our new announcement! Our £325k second art expansion milestone is now UNLOCKED.

To misquote the Elder God: "Your blood-thirst is replaced by a deeper need – you have become a devourer of goals." To satiate you, we are announcing three more stretch goals!

Proudly announcing our latest artist collaboration: Alexey Gorboot!

Alexey's work is full of texture and character, fitting snugly within our announced line up of artists for the TTRPG so far. His work feels like a continuation of the Silver Age of comics, deftly weaving between themes of horror and humour in his compositions. His detailed, hand inked linework combined with his wonderfully lurid colour palette make his style stand apart instantly, he'll be a great addition to the roster of artists we have built.

Forgotten which timeline you're reading up on? Save your place with a Legacy of Kain bookmark, designed to compliment the look and feel of the Encyclopedia.

Artyom Trakhanov's evocative cover will feature all-new embossed details, creating an even more premium feel than before.

Our most requested stretch goal: rally against the Sarafan Brotherhood and turn the tides of the vampire purge! Scourge of the Sarafan writer Leo Hunt adds all-new rules to our vicious MÖRK BORG-compatible tabletop experience.

Start your run with the Blood Curse – or perhaps contract it during your playthrough. Happy hunting…

We're keeping this under wraps for now. When you hit £425k, we'll announce the milestone alongside all-new stretch goals for you to hunt down.

Following last week's introduction of games culture preservationists Lost In Cult, it's time to introduce the second creator of our Legacy of Kain collection: game art aficionados Cook and Becker.

Cook and Becker is an international art gallery, book publisher and concept store for game art, concept art and design that collaborates with game makers, publishers—and our friends at Lost in Cult—to make beautiful things that fans can truly treasure. 

We’ve spent more than a decade working with beloved contemporary artists, illustrators and game studios to produce museum-grade art prints in limited editions, premium art books, box sets and other beautifully designed products that celebrate the worlds of video games, entertainment and pop culture.

We’ve been lucky enough to work on some fantastic projects, including truly epic Pac-Man and Sonic The Hedgehog coffee table books, stunning stationery and notebook box sets for The Last of Us Part II and God of War, an exclusive new The Last of Us print by the legendary Final Fantasy artist Yoshitaka Amano—and most recently the Enhance At 10 Boxed Set, celebrating 10 years of the Rez Infinite and Tetris Effect: Connected studio, Enhance. 

We’re doing what we love, and we strive to demonstrate that with everything we make.

A massive thank you to everyone who has backed so far. This project has been a whirlwind already – and we're just getting started!

Tomorrow, we will be revealing our secret £300k stretch goal, along with an all-new set of milestones to devour. See you then!
