over 1 year ago – Thu, Oct 17, 2024 at 06:41:48 AM

Hello everyone!

The long-awaited strechgoal has finally arrived: MIR will have a Foundry VTT extension :) 

Now it's time to unveil the next strechgoal that's sure to please: the agent's companion! 
In a deluxe fanzine, you'll find all the scenarios unlocked during the campaign (At the Poem's Heart - Orphan don't exist- Rud' Amor - May Joy Remain), plus the three new pre-gen characters and their sheets in a physical version, plus the Civilization Cards and the Ruin cult generator. 

All this in a deluxe fanzine of over 150 pages, and it's not over yet... 

An other social strech goal just fall. Let us introduce you the Veneatori republic!

THE VENEATORI REPUBLIC

"Become unique through the many."
Motto of the Veneatori Republic.

The Veneatori Republic is a small state whose entire population wear masks. Once famous for its intrepid merchants and colorfully-dressed mercenaries, the Veneatori Republic's founders strongly opposed the domination of the Systerin Empire. Followers of the cult of Chimera, the Veneatoris believe in a multifaceted reality that changes vastly depending on your personal perspective.

To them, life must be experienced in as many ways as possible to attain true enlightenment. Their masks were created with this goal in mind: instilled with a person's essence, donning a mask allows them to adopt a new identity, changing their place in society.

Living multiple lives to experience the Truth of reality was a religious experience for the Veneatori. The more masks a person wore, the higher they would rise through the ranks of the cult of Chimera.

Then came the great farce.

Great banquets were held, at which the guests feasted only upon each other's flesh. In the streets, screaming crowds danced endlessly, continuing long after their bones splintered from the strain.

A starved reality had come to claim its due, each Veneatori shifting uncontrollably from one identity to another, spiraling into madness. The Republic was saved from annihilation by the newly-created MIR, who decreed that each citizen could wear only one mask.

The corruption of the Ruins' cults is spreading!

Hello everyone!

Echoes aren't the only danger the agents are fighting: others, more insidious but just as deadly, are nibbling away at the MIR Pact from the inside, and could well cause its downfall. 

Whether out of nostalgia, greed or madness, not everyone in the MIR Pact has renounced the Arts of the past. Some pre-Ruine writings and technology have escaped the MIR purges and fallen into the wrong hands... Or perhaps it's simply a group of villagers seeking to escape starvation by using this strange object? 

Comprising four pages, the Ruin Cult Generator lets you create a group of heretics linked to the culture of a civilization! 

But that's not all, the next strechgoal will unlock Foundry VTT for MIR :)

The tesserae of the Systerin Empire is yours!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 15, 2024 at 06:23:54 AM

Hello everyone!

The tessera, a jewel worn by all citizens of the Systerin Empire, is now acquired by all backers of a physical pledge! 

Used to prove faith in Unicity, the tessera is a fragment of mosaic from the fresco composed by all imperial citizens. It's also an identity card, inscribing the Stigmate's fate and condition, enabling the authorities to distinguish between corrupt citizens. In fact, if the wearer of the tessera is affected by Twisting, his mosaic will begin to ooze the black liquid of Unicity. 
The same liquid in which imperial citizens are immersed and dissolved when they die, the same liquid used to manufacture tesserae. 

There's just one week left to participate in the campaign, and the next stage - the Ruin's forbidden cult generator - is already on the horizon!

This strechgoal is going to make some noise!

Hello everyone!

Two new songs have been added to the “In the Shadow of Glory” digital album! The strech goals keep falling and the loot keeps growing! 

SO if we sum up:

In addition to the two new musics, all backers will receive the two unlocked introduction scenarios - “Orphans Don't Exist” and “May Joy Remain” - not to mention two Game Aids, seven Civilization cards and three new pre-gen characters!

Author of the music album, Guillaume Galaup (LIMBE) tells us more about the project and his commitment to role-playing:  

« Having played pen-and-paper role-playing games from an early age, I composed the soundtrack for MIR, a deep dark Fantasy oriented game, designed to meet both the very specific needs of a dark and tortured universe and the requirements of this medium.

Long stretches of sound and live recordings of the violins resonate in the atmospheric, immersive moments as much as in the tense, dramatic passages, giving the master of the game a wide range of uses.

Welcome Agents, I hope you will enjoy it as much as I loved composing this soundtrack! »

Again, TWO new steps have been reached in the social goals, we are litterally at 4 retweets from the next lore reveal ! 

A new initiation scenario has been released!

The strechgoals keep dropping like flies!

“May Joy Remain” is a two-hour scenario by Nicolas Clémot - a veteran MIR player and seasoned RPG creator of "Forbidden Land of Symbaroum". 

Backers will receive digital versions of the scenarios, and physical versions are available as an option, such as" At the Poem's Heart", of which here's a new illustration :)

But that's not all, our campaign is making some noise and here's a new interview with Milthra!

The next level is already on the horizon, and promises to make some noise with two new digitals tunes for the At the Shadow's Glory album made by Guillaume Galaup (LIMBE) !

Did you know there is a track on the campaign page ? Click on MUSIC ALBUM to discover it.

There is some news too on the Social Stretch Goals, another civilization has been unlocked.

THE KINGDOM OF ANICEA

"Love without death is life without merit". 
Translation of the Anicean motto.

The oldest human state, Anicea is a feudal kingdom whose structure has remained unchanged since its creation. It follows a strict hierarchy built around the dead, to whom the living owe the utmost respect.

In exchange for this unwavering loyalty, it is believed that the dead grant their wisdom through oracles.

The Aniceans adoration of their dead is equalled only by their passion for courtly love, ruled by a strict code of honor towards their life partner.

In matters of warfare, Anicea was known for its blacksmiths with the skill to create objects, armor or weapons from human sacrifice. In Anicea, a warrior could offer up an arm to forge a sword, or their lover for an incomparable suit of armor.

Then came the great war.

The dead were dragged from their barrows by rebels seeking to overthrow the old ways and have the dead serve the living.

Using forbidden Arts, they transformed the sacred remains into an undead army at their command. Ever loyal to the cult of the dead, the Anicean knightly order charged to battle, not realizing what they faced.
