Hey Critical Crew!

June brings us the biggest month yet for Critical Crafting - our debut Kickstarter "The Mages' War" on 06/11; our first official convention as a vendor at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH 06/20 - 06/23; and our latest patreon release, of course!

"Magic and Machines" expands on our Order of the Blank vs. Arcanuum conflict, and shows off more of those on the front-lines of both sides of the War! With magical groves and fairy-like fey; mechanical mage catchers and mech suits; a cannon-fitted T-Rex and shadow-tainted monsters and more - there's bound to be something for everyone (despite which side of the war you may have enlisted into...)

Printable STL

This month brings our latest STL for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - the War Machine T-Rex! This STL file comes presupported by our good friends at TableFlip Foundry.

**NOTE - STL's are NOT backlogged, so be sure to download it locally this month!**

Encounters

We've got 4 brand new encounters of varying challenge ratings and settings -ready to drop right into your existing campaigns, or can just as easily be used as a springboard into a new adventure.

Investigate a Blank Scientist lab and cross path's with a spirit inhabiting the computer systems within; answer a Katya's pleas for help dealing with a darkweave gupper that has turned on its creator; and track down and deal with a behemoth of a beast, as a War Machine T-Rex (outfitted with cannons and armor) has been wreaking havoc in the woods.

Stat Blocks

You get 4 brand new monster stat blocks of various challenge ratings, as well as our 2 latest monster templates and our latest machine!

A Blank mechanical suit designed to hunt down and capture spellcasters; a spirit designed by the Arcanuum to infiltrate machines and computers; and a War Machine T-Rex! This release has something for everyone - regardless of which side of the Mages' War conflict they fall on!

Items

We've also got our 9 latest items and our latest graft! Reward your players with one of the Blank's latest mech suits - with four included MK variants; the Blank's antimagic sword; or the Crown of the Fey graft!

Spells 

June also brings you our 4 latest magic spells and 4 latest warps - a new game mechanic that allows the use of arcanhile and other technological means to literally warp reality, allowing them to pull off spell-like feats without the use of magic.

Player Options

And you know we've got you covered with player options! 

We've had people asking for more Blank player options, so check out our lastest Fighter subclass - the Arcanhile Knight Archetype. Fighters of the arcanhile knight archetype despise all things magical. An arcanhile knight will often outfit themselves with the latest in Blank technology and sometimes take an explosive approach with a vast armament of firepower. Whether hunting a specific mage, culling a settlement of Arcanuum survivors, or ending the life of a powerful wizard, an archanhile knight’s purpose is clear - bringing an end to magic.

We also have our latest player race - the Katya - a race of fairy-like fey who have left behind the sanctuary of their magical groves to help join the side of the resistance along the Arcanuum. And rounding out our player options are our 4 latest feats and 2 latest deficiencies.

Maps

We've also got 5 new war-like battle maps ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps). These maps are available in both gridded and gridless variantions. 

Tokens

And lastly, we are bringing you 7 VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!

We absolutely love this community and are always happy for ideas, so if this sounds as cool to you as it does us, be sure to join the  Critical Crafting discord channel and get in on the Brainstorming!!

We're so grateful for each and every one of you, and we can't wait to show off what's to come in "The Mages' War" on Launch Day! Mark June 11th on your calendar, and we'll see you there!
