Realms of Legacy

Human Made

No art, writing, or any creative endeavor was AI-generated. Every art piece was commissioned or stock art from a human artist across the tabletop hobby. The text was written by our team and edited by humans.

What is Realms of Legacy?

You and up to 4 other players take on the role of Veildivers as you adventure across realms, exploring a universe known only as the Veil, while piloting arcane sailing ships that blend technology and magic. Fight leviathans, discover secrets, and find your place among the stars.

Message from the Captain

I'm Captain Nick, the lead designer and writer of this venture. Back in 2020, I had finished rewatching Treasure Planet and wanted to explore that world, but nothing on my shelf quite scratched that itch. Six years later, Realms of Legacy has been through thousands of hours at the table with multiple playtesters and over twenty collaborators from writers to artists from across the hobby. 

Pledge Levels

Deckhand - $25.00 USD

The Core Rulebook in PDF. Everything you need to create characters, run the game, and explore the setting.

Veildiver - $80.00 USD

A physical copy of the Core Rulebook, PUR-bound so it lays flat at the table and holds up to years of use. Includes the PDF.

Captain of the Veil - $500.00 USD (Limited to 3 Backers)

You don't just want to play in the Veil, you want to be part of it. Work with us to design a veilstrider, one of the arcane magitech ships, that will appear in the Core Rulebook with its own stat block, lore block, and custom artwork you approve. Includes the physical book and PDF. We'll email you after the campaign to start. Submissions are due by November 25th so the book stays on schedule. Please see the Terms and Conditions below for this Tier.

Captain of the Veil: Terms and Conditions

1. Original work only. Your veilstrider must be your own idea. No characters, creatures, names or designs from existing books, games, films, shows or other copyrighted or trademarked works, and nothing obviously derived from them.
2. No real people. Your veilstrider can't depict or be based on a real person, living or dead, without that person's written permission. You can use yourself as inspiration.
3. We have final say on mechanics. We'll build the stat block with you, but we make the final call on balance and rules so it works in play.
4. Art approval. You'll review the concept sketch and get one round of revisions. After that, the art is final.
5. Deadlines. Your concept is due by November 25th and revision feedback within 7 days of receiving each draft. If we don't hear from you by a deadline, we'll finish the veilstrider ourselves using what you've already given us.
6. Rights. By submitting, you grant Universe Table Games permanent, worldwide, exclusive rights to use, modify, publish and sell the veilstrider and its artwork in Realms of Legacy and related products, including future editions, supplements and promotion.
7. Your personal use. You may share the artwork online and print it for personal use. You may not sell it or use it commercially.
8. Credit. You'll be credited as the veilstrider's co-creator in the book (example, "Designed with [backer name]"). You may choose to be credited under a pseudonym or not credited at all.
9. No refunds once work begins. Once concept art has started, the pledge is non-refundable.

Fulfillment

Digital rewards (PDF)
Every backer at a digital tier will receive the PDF through DriveThruRPG. Once the final PDF is complete, estimated April 2027, you'll get an email with a personal link that adds the book to your DriveThruRPG library at no cost. You'll need a free DriveThruRPG account to claim it. Once claimed, it stays in your library for good, and you'll get any future updates or errata there automatically.

Print copies are printed by Mixam and shipped directly from their facility to you. After the campaign we'll send a survey to collect your shipping address. Please fill it out promptly, because books can't ship until we have your address.
