Design Philosophy

1912 is not a random time. Just 2 years before World War I, people of that era truly believed humans to be the master of the world. Wealth, science, accomplishments gave the illusion that prosperity was eternal, and made everyone blind to the evil of colonialism, racism, inequality, discrimination  —  and to the fragility of a system built on those foundations.

And behind it all, a greater and deeper evil. Things. Hidden, but preying on the sanity and life of all alike.

Heroes are always rebels. People who carve their own path and write their own story. People who see ahead of their times and stand firm against adversity, unbeatable odds, and even entities of cosmic, malicious indifference. And Heroes are human beings, with fears, desires and yes... hopes.

The depth of the world, the poignancy of rules, are but tools for what happens at the Table. They are to be used — maybe embraced, maybe discarded — in order to create a canvas where the players are protagonists, and where they can have fun. And this very same depth is what allows for inspiration, for long-term campaigns, for growth, and for genuine emotions to emerge during play.

It’s a wonderful world to play in.

Shipment and Fulfillment

Kickstarter shipping estimates are absolutely not accurate. In this moment, due to the geopolitical situation an oil prices, all shipping costs are deeply unreliable. Please refer to this table as a down-to-earth estimates you can somehow trust. They represent the worst option, and It is very likely shipping cost will be far less. We will rely on multiple fulfillment centers in order to reduce your shipping costs to the minimum and always employ safe trackable shipments.

*Rest of the world estimates are unfortunately very rough, because it’s an huge generalization.

Shipping costs, VAT or Sales Taxes, and any applicable tariff - if applicable - will be charged after the crowdfunder ends, closer to the actual shipping date.

Fulfillment Timeline:

Our realistic target is to fulfill everything within March 2027 – and with the greatest quality in content, production value, and printing quality.

We expect the following timeline:

Risks and Challanges

Delays are always possible, especially as we are committed to excellence. We have really a lot of experience regarding production. 

Regarding fulfillment, we have the luck of receiving help from our friends at Mana Project. They made several successful Kickstarters and have a lot of experience. 

With their assistance, the timetable we have is realistic and solid. If comes no war, no sickness, no rising of Cthulhu or other apocalypses, delivery should be timely and successful.
