Hi everyone,

Part of the material has already been sent to the factory in China, we're waiting for the first test run of miniatures, punchboard cuts (we have 6 punchboard in the core game) and game boards.

We're also reviewing the card texts before sending them to print.

We'd like to thank all of you: the pledge manager is making good progress, with 78% of backers having finalised their order. As you will have seen in the pledge manager, we have completed the sculptures of the new heroes in resin; these will be sent in September.

Some of our facebook page followers have already seen images of the prototypes that we will take to Essen, but we'll show them here for everyone else.

Part of the LMS team has finalised the work on Nova Aetas and has dived head first into a new project. We're closely monitoring all Nova Aetas pre-production stages and would like to assure you that this new project will not influence its natural development. We are a new company and in order to stay alive, we need to keep creating and producing.

We will reveal the first images as soon as possible.

Stay tuned!

Heroes: The heroes package allows your company to be modified by selecting for example two squires or three novices, depending on your style of play or the friends composing your party.

The resin heroes are one-off versions of the four basic classes.

Circe and the manpigs: Circe is a beautiful woman of alien appearance, who would charm men to transform them into pigs and make them slaves. In this mini-campaign, you'll find the rules on how to manage this strange campaign and try to enlist the witch among your ranks.

Reinforcements: these packages contain rules on how to increase the number of enemies in your adventures. They are needed to increase the difficulty of the missions. Each box contains different types of enemies associated with the different groups.

Seraphin Sister, Venetian Assassin, Alabastro and Obsidian Beast: these are the new units enriching the world of Nova Aetas, and can be used as reinforcements or in the occasional missions.

Vezio, Leonardo, Giovanni del Nord, Caterina sforza and Lothar Basler: These are characters that heroes can confront, attempting to befriend them in specific missions; the risk is that they turn against them. Each character is considered an ally to one group, or a simple mercenary to whoever offers the most.

Cabalist and Architect: These are two new heroes that can be used in the Nova Aetas adventures. They have their own specialisations, objects and a whole new set of skills.

Necromancer, Templar, Scourge and Traveller: these are four epic classes that will bring the heroes to a new level of power. These classes can only be accessed if the necessary requisites are held. Each class also has a small set of specific skills and a unique power, which is only activated in certain circumstances.

Hi everyone,

this is an update to summarise all the materials unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign. We will present each product along with its characteristics. We'll start with the two largest expansions:

Vesuvio's Forge: this expansion will bring our heroes to the Italian region in the south of Rome, where Ferdinand II of Aragon reigned along with his wife Giovanna III, otherwise known as "Crazy". The campaign will be set in the towns surrounding Mount Vesuvius and its peak. A new class and three different types of enemies will be added to your range of miniatures. New missions, elements and formulas will complete this fantastic box.

Under Siege: with this expansion, you can relive the "Sack of Rome" that occurred just a few years after the events of Nova Aetas. The lansquenets descend upon Italy, besieging Rome before raiding it and battling with the great mercenary captain Giovanni dalle Bande Nere. A new hero and 12 miniatures, of 4 different models, will help relive these epic moments. With this box, you'll receive an exclusive free Jaeger miniature, a lansquenet soldier transformed during the journey into the black forest in the south of Germany. New missions, elements and formulas will complete this legendary box.

Mater Ignis: this ArtBox contains the hunter, a new hero, and his nemesis Mater Ignis, a fire-starting Salamander that terrorised the towns of Renaissance Italy. In this box, in addition to the 2 main characters, you'll also find 5 salamanders and the miniature Kickstarter exclusive, Salimero, a baby salamander that can be won through an associated hunt mission.

Doge Vs Pope: this box contains a scenario and rules on how to play the Pope and Doge, both as enemies and allies, together with the two fantastic miniatures representing them.

Renzo Vs Diletto: this box is an ode to the game that inspired us more than any other, Final Fantasy Tactics. It contains a scenario and rules on how to play Renzo and Diletto, both as enemies and allies, together with the two epic miniatures representing them.
