Latest Updates from Our Project:
Ship STLs Released (Please read update) - Error for resin on Backerkit pledge manager
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 06:27:54 PM
Hey there everyone!
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. We have some fun stuff for you today!
For all of you who backed the STLs or All-in pledge level will have just been sent an email to redeem the 42 STLs from the base game and expansion box faction STLs.
These files areNOTfinal. They are high-detailed, fully supported and "finished", but the design of these files may change slightly from now until production begins meaning if you are printing them to fit them into your Aldarra game box later, please be aware that if you print them now for that purpose, they may change and no longer fit inside the game box inserts.
We didn't want to keep these awesome STLs away from you any longer as they are ready for printing as is! If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to post a comment or send a message!
The 6 factions from the base game and the expansion box are now being released. that's 30 ship files and 12 buildings! Please check your email for the redemption links if you qualify to receive these!
For the Backerkit pledge manager, there is a bit of an error with the resin addons. Sorry about this. Specifically it's the 6KG Arcanite Addon. You should be allowed to pick 4x 1.5kg bags of any color you want, but right now, it makes you select all of the same color. I am working on fixing this and will be messaging those affected directly when we find a solution. My apologies for this!
That's it for now, everyone! Thanks so much for your support. We hope you like the miniature STLs!

Pledge Manager Opening!
almost 2 years ago
– Sat, Jun 18, 2022 at 04:50:37 PM
Good day everyone! Pledge Manager Launch (in the next 24 hours)
Just wanted to thank you all for staying patient while we get the pledge manager ready to launch! There are some things I got mixed up when setting it up for the freebie metal coins being added, but we got it all sorted!
The pledge manager is currently sending out a "Smoke Test" for the next 24 hours. So surveys have been sent to about 100 people. We will wait until this test is complete and then we will be sending it out to everyone just to make sure everything is sorted!
Shipping Charges
An important note is that you willnot be charged for shipping right now. We will be charging shipping closer to the date of actually shipping and fulfilling the project. This is to ensure we have the best price possible for our backers (and our company). With the world in such a flux of shipping chaos at the moment, charging beforehand could either be over charging our customers are under charging. We just want to make sure we are as exact as possible!
Digital Rewards
For digital rewards, it's important to note that ALL fulfillment for them is going through MyMiniFactory. If you added an addon during the Kickstarter, you would have already been sent a redemption link. For the BETA Aldarra miniature ship files, we will be sending out redemption links for those to all backers who have the STL pledge, STL addon, or the All-In. More info on these when we actually launch. The PDF for the 5e adventure and all of the STLs from that adventure will also be provided through MMF (this adventure will come out at the end of the summer most likely).
If you ADD digital rewards in backerkit, there are instructions to email / message us with your email used to verify you have added on that addon and after we verify the purchase, we will send you your redemption link!
Retailers
If you are a retailer, there are retailer bundles in the pledge manager as well. They are discounted in bulk and the minimum order quantity is 6 units of each product! If you have questions, please send a private message or email to [email protected]
Sordalite Elixir DiceAddon
We got the samples in for the Premium Sordalite Elixir Dice! They are awesome, truly. Admittedly they are a tad expensive, but they are hand crafted with liquid cores and we are cutting our margins very low for these dice. They're a great premium perk if you really want to get everything Aldarra =). These won't be limited in quantity (we will sell them retail afterwards), but they will never be sold at this price again :)
Get 22 of these awesome dice.
Have Issues?
Once we launch the pledge manager, if you have any issues you can either message me directly here, message us on our Discord (link at the bottom), or email us at [email protected] and we will get to your request in good time!
Thanks again to everyone for the support. I hope to have up some more gameplay soon and some updates on the development of the 2 player mode!
Look for more updates on the project sometime in July =)

Delay on Pledge Manager until next week.
almost 2 years ago

Hey everyone! Very quick update today. It'll be mid-next week before the pledge manager is up. There are a few things in there that I had over looked operationally and they are taking a biiiit more time to sort out. There's not immediate rush for us so it's not a big thing, but just wanted to let you all know =)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Pledge Manager This Friday - Gameplay video + Localization + general updates
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Jun 06, 2022 at 08:01:22 PM
Already June!
Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well. We have been busy at Arcane Minis the last month getting the payment through, dealing with all the aftermath of running a Kickstarter campaign, etc! This is going to be a quick little update for you all just to keep you in the loop of what's going on.
We are going to try to do at least 1 update per month for the progression of the Kickstarter fulfillment, but if there are a few extra weeks here or there, just know it's because there is nothing new to share =). We don't want to inundate you with needless updates and make it harder to find information from previous updates!
Pledge Manager
The pledge manager will be open this Friday! You can go in there and add to your pledges, etc. PLEASENOTE: Shipping will not be charged now. We will be charging shipping when we are closer to the date of actually shipping the product. This is a fantastic new feature from Backerkit that allows us to charge shipping and order modifications at different times allowing us to make the shipping charges more exact for the time we charge them in. A good example of this would be likely shipping mid-late next year, shipping should be cheaper due to the world going back to normal from covid, etc. So hopefully that means we can save you all a few precious dollars on that! :)
Extra Products
There will be some extra products in the pledge manager as well. Those being out Airship Campaigns 5e supplement (which is doing a limited - 1 time only - print run). And our Airship Map Tiles (from the same Kickstarter).
Gamplay Video
Sorry for the delay in the new gameplay video. I've tried to organize my playgroup here 3 different times over the last month and it keeps falling apart. Due to it being summer and being limited to meeting on the weekends, my mates all seem to have a lot going on. Should be relatively soon though that we will have the 3 player up, then the 6 player and then months down the line when the 2 player mode is finished, we will have a 2 player one as well for those of you interested in it!
Localization
We are still working on localization. There is a process to this which first includes attempting to bring the MSRP of the game down to make it a bit more stomachable for potential partners. We are looking into multiple avenues here and will do our very best to make sure we can provide localizaed versions of the game into as many languages as possible. I will update you all again on localization when I have good or bad news to share - so this will be the last time I mention it for a while :)
General Update
Finally, for the update of everything. We have been working on finishing the art, minor game mechanics of the expansion and we will soon be getting into the development of the 2 player mode. We want to make sure this 2 player mode isnotagimmick. We want it to be a solid choice for playing Aldarra and not just something we decided to throw in for the hell of it. So we are going to do our very best to make sure it's a fun experience!
I'm hoping to have more updates for you all on the progress of the development of the game next month! If you have any question or concerns you can always message me here or you can contact us on our social media (below)
All the best. Stay safe out there, everyone and thank you all again so very much for your support and interest in the things we make. Without you, we have nothing :)

The funds are on their way!

Happy Friday =)
Hey everyone! Just a quick update today. I will do a more in depth one at the end of next week when we have more information on a plan for the pledge manager in place. We are planning to launch the pledge manager at the end of the month!
We have received notification from Kickstarter that the funds are now on their way to our bank account which means we can start providing digital addons to the backers who had added them during the campaign. (these will also be available in the pledge manager so if you missed them, you can get them there!)
Addon STLs
If you added STLs as your addons from our past library of products, you can expect redemption links for those to be sent out from MyMiniFactory by Monday! We are just sorting through the MMF system which is kind of limiting in the sheer number of files we need to upload for some of those addons which actually is causing us to be creative in some ways!
More Gamplay Videos
We will have a new gameplay video (3 player) by the end of the month and hopefully a 6 player gameplay video some time next month! (some balancing on the event cards and such we need to do first!). If the 6 player gameplay video is delayed, we will do more 4 player videos but with the expansion factions in there instead so you can get a sense of how they play!
That's all for today. I hope you're all having a fantastic May. Thank you so much for your support and we can't wait to provide you guys with more information and updates as we move along with development, possible localization partners, more gameplay videos, and more :)
