1. Update
Thank you all so much. We have come very far with so little time.The Firstborn were the first of the races to ever tread the soil of this world. However they were to remain in a state of barbarism, falling prey to other races until the coming of the One King and the formation of the First Kingdom. Since that moment they are existing in a perpetual state of conflict, constantly fighting to secure their place under the sun.
Firstborn armies enjoy heavy armour and a good level of training, providing their commanders a high level of versatility. With these traits they are able to adapt to any battlefield situation and triumph over it.
2. Update - Free STL Templates for you!
We are starting to update Campaign.As you suggested we are giving you for free a STL Templates for Flamethrower , Small and Large Explosion. Download, print and enjoy.
For those who do not have 3d printers, these templates will be in a last page of hard cover rulebook.
-> STL: Explode - Big - 150mm
-> STL: Explode - Small - 100mm
-> STL: Flamethrower - 2
3. Update - Cavalry Bundle!
We just added for you a Cavalry Bundle as add on.Buying this add on allows you to pick 3 Cavalry boxes in the lower price!
You will be able to choose during Pledge Manager.
4. Update - Fantastic news! Every Unit box is bigger! We won´t stop on that!
After some calculations we have decided to add 1 extra model to each regular unit box keeping exactly the same price. That is not all! As you can see the 1st Stretch Goal will increase that number to +2 models in a box makes it even more attractive. So share our Campaign on social media and tell your friends about it, because Chronopia is BACK!
5. Update - German version of Chronopia and Crystal Lotus Elves Close ups!
Good news for German stores and backers!We are able now to offer all content of this Kickstarter in a GERMAN version also.
If you want to play Chronopia with a German rulebook or as a store, want to offer German products to your customers you can now do so!
Any pledge level now is available in German language. Whatever language (well – English or German only at the moment) you want, you will be able to choose after the campaign ends in Pledge Manager!
The only small downturn is, that German versions will probably take about two months longer to produce, since we need to translate the book and cards. We might be able to ship everything at the same time, since we have a bit of an head start for the translation and will start right now with it for some products, including the demo booklet.
Elves from the House of Crystal Lotus!
Elf societies are organized in an ancient system of independent noble Houses. Each House is a completely sovereign entity with a Duke leading it with his court. All Elven Houses have always valued one thing above all else, throughout their eons of existence. Power. In pursuit of that no elf, regardless of its societal status will stop at nothing and indeed in the past, they never have.
6. Update - Few photos from the battlefields of Chronopia
Devout followers are praying.

13. Funding is nigh!
Good morning fellow Chronopians.What a glorious day! We are almost funded and for this we are most grateful to you, the magnificent community that is so heavily participating in the establishment of the world of Chronopia.
For us, it is time to start teasing the Stretch Goals that we have in store, as the second half of the campaign just begins. First SG, and one very important, is a second upgrade in EACH regular infantry box that you have or will purchace.
As soon as we hit 42K, all boxes will include an extra mini in them. No action required from you, just one more mini will be included for you in each of your rank and file unit boxes. Needless to mention the extra versatility this will provide to your forces on the table!
As a disclaimer, this extra mini, just as the previous one, will be included only to backers of this KS campaign. Retail editions will not benefit from these two extra minis in each box, so rush to that campaign and break the Pledge button, for your liege is summoning you.
14. Rules - Cavalry Charge!
Cavalry Charge!Today we have uploaded a new short video for rules: Cavalry Charge!
Which shows you how devastating might be a single Cavalry model (and remember that you can have 3 in single unit!).

16. 1st Stretch Goal Reached
The Herald of the 8th Tower bids you welcome.So 1st Stretch Goal is here, and what a Stretch Goal this is!
Each box of regular troops will get not one, but two extra miniatures in relation to what was the initial content. Yes you read right, that is TWO extra minis. This means that if you had purchased a box of eg Orc Swordsmen with three miniatures included, you will now receive five of them! No action is required from you, we will auto-upgrade each and every regular troop box to the new size of it.
As a disclaimer, we remind you that this extra content will be applicable only for the duration of this KS campaign, as a way of us saying a big "thank you" for supporting our dream come true. In future iterations of the miniature lines, they will include the initial number of minis.
So now is the time to get all the regular troops boxes you ´ll need and then some!
Till the next SG, stay strong and remember: Your Liege Counts on You.

18. Careful for whom the Judge comes knocking...
The Order of the Judges of the Seven Towers was formed in the aftermath of the Devout betrayal by the Four Prophets and is directly liable to the One King himself. Armed with the double headed axes called Truthbringers and the Book of Law, these solitary figures roam the Firstborn Kingdom searching for the taint of Darkness and rooting it out with extreme prejudice. Somber individuals that inspire fear and awe, they are equally met with relief and weariness by the common folk, as one can never know who will come under his scrutiny.In the field of battle they strike fear in both friend and foe, cleaving their way through Darkness and bringing justice absolute to all near them. For it is true that fear in the face of the enemy is treason towards the One King, a crime that can only be punished by death.
This beautifully sculpted miniature will become unlocked as our 2nd Stretch Goal for you to purchase, as soon as we hit the 42K mark. So let your friends know about these tidings, keep pledging and remember: Justice is coming for us all...

Thus when the Judges of the Seven Towers visit you, they will just move on, leaving you be.

28. "I will see further, because I will be standing on the shoulders of giants"
The sound of bagpipes from the caverns bellow is filling the air. The synchronized beat of boots striking the ground at the same moment creates small quakes, as the Dwarves march on the field of battle. And at the head of this formation, stands atop his ceremonial shield the Manx Skull Champion, the leader of the war effort.Beared on the shoulders of his trusty shield-beariers, this supreme warrior-leader smites ranks of his enemies with his clawed halberd. Simultaneously, he gains the ability to stand high over the friendly ranks, becoming better able to command his forces and riposte the enemy´s movements.
As our next Stretch Goal at 48K, you will be able to incorporate this alternate, masterfully crafted version of this miniature to your Dwarven forces. With him you will be able to better command your armies, and further the goal of your Overlord of the Horned One Clan. So, keep spreading the world that after the Wilding, the Dwarves are reclaiming their rightful place on the world, and keep pledging!

32. You ´d better hide, when four-armed monsters come knocking.
There are few things that can push a Troll on the edge, making him forego all will for life, turning him into a mere tool at the hands of the Emperor. When this comes to pass, the member of the Troll tribe presents himself on the Emperor, pledging his life in service to be used as he sees fit, seeing death only as a release.These ferocious Deathseekers view the Beyond as a release, and wish to have a glorious end at the field of battle. Hence the meaning of fear is a notion completely foreign to them, charging headstrong in the enemy ranks, hoping to meet their destiny. However this rarely comes to pass, with the Deathseeker only waiting for the next chance of release.
At 50K you will unlock this magnificent miniature to utilize in your Blackblood army, or just paint it for your collection. This almost 54mm mini is an imposing piece, sure to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies, whilst he is running amok among their ranks.

For now, we thank you dearly, our time for work just begins anew!
For the One King!

41. Season of Cards is upon us!
With our KS campaign over, this only meant extra work for us!Work on the incorporation of weather and seasons is over and cards are in finalization stage. Thus we could not miss the chance to spoil some of the beautifully crafted cards, that will bring extra depth and character to each and every game you play.
In this card box you will get :
-Season cards. Will your battle take place in the frozen North or the scorched outskirts of Terakan?
- Time of day cards. Will your armies exchange blows at high noon with the sun baking their brows, or in the dark and its perils?
-Weather cards. Strong winds have always affected an army´s capacity to fight, let alone a sudden blizzard.
All in all these card expansions will allow you to create a distinct experience with each game you play, further immersing you to the world of Chronopia.
Stay tuned. More great things are on the way!
42. New renders of Crystal Lotus Elves by Barruz Studio

Top right corner shows the value of the card (In this case 2)
Above text field you can find information in which Seasons that card can be played (in this case Spring or Winter) and Text Field brings modification to the game.
We are working as well on first issue of Chronopia Archives our product catalogue
PS. Sorry for radio silence, but I have been on my holiday. We will try to post and updates more frequently from now on.
44. Regarding concerns about closing one of our webshops and store
It came to my attention, that some backers are concerned because we currently are closing down on of our webshops and our brick & mortar store.Please be assured, this has no consequences for Chronopia. Well – actually it probably HAS consequences – just not negative ones
We are doing this to concentrate more on our main business – publishing games – not selling games from other companies offline and online.
Ironically, the project of starting a brick and mortar store, a new webshop and selling games at a bargain, we buy from producers who want to get rid of their remaining stock was intended to strengthen the company by having more than one mainstay.
But we started that project in early 2020 – so the timing was… questionable to say the least. We run into a worldwide pandemic with store-lockdown in Germany, no conventions and fairs at all – you know the situation, if you weren´t living under a rock for the last 2.5 years.
So we „just“ decided now to stop that particular project with as less damage as possible for us – so we had to get rid of it fast. Which is what we are doing right now VERY successfully.
We will be finished with that in 1-2 weeks and can then concentrate more again on our own games, which will benefit all of our lines (mostly rpgs and in German language), including Chronopia – of course.

45. Troll Deathseeker is coming!

46. The Dwarves March to War!
While we are at the height of summer, work for Chronopia is well underway!The tides of war are flooding the Great Halls of the Dwarven citadel of Hallador and what better way to celebrate these folk´s courage, than via a brand new piece of artwork. Masterfully created by our talented team, this warrior of the Horned Ones Clan is ready to stand his ground against all enemies of his sub-terranean realm, or even raid as far as the major port-city of Girgaldur against treacherous Aleha.
At the same time, the lore of the Dwarf race is penned, full of character, adventure and tragedy, as befits this ancient and great race. Glory, honor, but also treachery are yours to experience through this magnificent miniatures range that bring short, sturdy and bearded men under your command.

REMINDER: Late Pledge / Pledge Manager will be open till 6th of November.
52. USA Shipping info! Dice Tray Vote!
Welcome Lords and Ladies from across the pond!- Today update about shipping to USA and North America.
Probably you have noticed that the shipping cost to North America is what it is, this is because a quote for the tracking parcel, we have received from DHL Europe (A company we are using for shipment). Minimum weight is 2 KG, and this means that the parcel from 0.01 Kg up to 2 Kg will unfortunately have the same shipping cost.
Now the better part of the news.
We are currently in talks with one company form USA to help us with shipping, which might decrease the rates. It is hard to tell if we are going to finalise it before end of the Late Pledge, that is why Patric said we will be refunding difference between shipping cost now and what we could achieve with partnership from other company.
The cost of sending parcel from Europe to USA unfortunately sometimes is higher than the basic pledge, but the same it would be other way round.
- From the other news - We are waiting for Perilous World to accept our card design and to provide us a copyright text for the cards. After all cards will be accepted, we will start to put the book together. Production of the SioCast models will start in November.
- In the next update we will try to prepare an excel sheet with progress in % for all and each of the item, and then we will be updating you every week about the progress.
- You have a chance to vote for illustration that we will put on Chronopia Dice Tray (from Stretch Goals). Simply comment A, B, C or D.

54. My apologies for the long silence
Hi!This will only be a brief update – more of a “sign of life” than a project update (which will follow more regularly from now on again).
Since about September I was pretty much out of order, due to a very high stress level around the SPIEL fair and other events after that.
That resulted in some physical health issues and burn-out which made it almost impossible for me to function properly.
Since I´m the bottleneck for the Chronopia project, this resulted in delays and obviously also in unsatisfactory communication here.
The team now is working on assuring this won´t happen again and of course also on moving on with Chronopia faster. More on this in a future update in detail very soon!
My sincere apologies for the lack of communication in the last two to three month – we will do better in the future again, starting now.
Last but not least – I want to show you some new painted Firstborn miniatures, as well as a preview for the unit cards (which still need to be approved, so there might still be changes).
Talk to you very soon again with actual interesting info and details about the game! Stay tuned!

64. Second Savage Moon
Listen ye, for I shall regale thee with a tale of triumph and glory!In days of yore, we set out on a perilous quest to craft a rulebook that would govern our endeavours. We toiled and laboured, our pens scratching furiously across parchment, until at last, we had fashioned a document of great import and majesty.
But our journey was not yet complete, for we knew that we must seek the approval of the fabled IP owner Heroic Signatures, a powerful and fearsome entity known to be exceedingly strict in matters of copyright and trademark.
Our hearts pounded with trepidation as we presented our rulebook for inspection. We waited with bated breath as the IP owner perused our work, their eyes flickering across each word and phrase.
Then, in a moment that seemed to stretch for an eternity, the Heroic Signatures lifted their gaze and spoke: "We approve."
A great cheer rose up from our midst, echoing across the land and shaking the very foundations of the earth. For we had triumphed over adversity, and our rulebook had been deemed worthy by the most exacting of judges.
And so, we celebrated, with mead and song and joyous revelry, for we knew that our labours had not been in vain. And though our path may still be fraught with challenge and danger, we march forward with renewed vigour, secure in the knowledge that we have won the approval of the IP owner, and the blessings of fate.
We have received initial approve for our rulebook and cards.
Listen well, ye who gather here,
For a proclamation I must make clear,
Our rulebook, once thought flawless and grand,
Shall now be subject to the Backers´ command.
Their wisdom and insight we shall heed,
For their support is the very seed,
That allowed our vision to take flight
And brought our dreams into the light.
Their voices shall ring loud and true,
As we review each and every rule,
Their feedback shall guide us on our way,
Towards a brighter and more perfect day.
So let us welcome our Backers´ gaze,
For in their hands, our fate does blaze,
May their counsel guide us to greatness,
And lead us to a future that is truly blessed.
As soon as possible we will send to the backers a Beta version of a rulebook.

Listen, ye mortal beings, and harken to my tale, Of the wondrous news that has arrived without fail, From far-off lands, where the ocean waves doth crash, Come the first samples of SioCast, with a mighty splash!
Swiftly they were sent, on wings of lightning and steel, Through the air they soared, with a fierce and mighty zeal, Crossing oceans and mountains, they braved the fiercest gales, Till they arrived at last, to tell their wondrous tales.
The first SioCast samples, in all their radiant glory, Have arrived at our doorstep, to tell a thrilling story, Of strength and of power, of resilience and might, A wonder to behold, a true marvel of sight.
Their beauty is unmatched, their properties divine, A true testament to human ingenuity and design, For in these tiny samples, we see the future bright, Of a world transformed, with new technologies and light.
So let us all rejoice, and raise a mighty cheer, For the first SioCast samples, that are finally here, May they pave the way, for a brighter tomorrow, And bring us all closer, to a world without sorrow.
Hark! Hearken to my words, ye mortal souls, Of a tale of triumph, of a goal we shall behold, Of a mighty quest, that we embarked upon, To craft a rulebook, that shall stand the test of time, anon.
For long we toiled, with hearts and minds ablaze, With pen and parchment, we crafted every phrase, Tireless we were, with our eyes upon the prize, To create a masterpiece, that would be our great enterprise.
Our noble cause, it did not go unnoticed, For backers came forth, with their support and their focus, With hearts full of hope, and a love for our game, They stood by our side, to help us achieve our aim.
>And now, as the seasons turn, and the months roll by, We have achieved a wondrous milestone, under the sky, For the end of May, in the year twenty-three, Shall mark the time, when feedback shall be collected in its entirety.
From every corner of the world, we have gathered opinions, From every voice that spoke, we have heard their emotions, With the power of collaboration, we shall refine our creation, And make our rulebook, a true marvel of imagination.
So let us rejoice, and raise our swords to the sky, For the end of May, when our mission shall draw nigh, And as we march forth, towards a future bright and grand, We shall hold our heads up high, and make our mark upon this land.

Listen well, dear mortal, and hear my tale of might, Of a masterful craftsman, whose artistry ignites, A flame of wonder, in the hearts of all who see, His great elven miniatures, crafted with such majesty.
Rafał Maj, the name of this great artisan, Whose talent and skill, is known throughout the land, With brush in hand, and a vision in his mind, He paints his elven miniatures, leaving us all behind.
Few photos have arrived, from the realm of Rafał´s art, Of great elven warriors, who have captured our hearts, In hues of silver and gold, with intricate detail so fine, His miniatures take us to a world, so wondrous and divine.
The elves stand tall, with grace and poise so rare, Their armour glinting, in the light so fair, Their weapons sharp, and ready for the fray, Their painted beauty, takes our breath away.
With every stroke of Rafał´s brush, a masterpiece is born, A miniature so perfect, it leaves us all forlorn, For we yearn to see more, to delve into his world so vast, To witness the wonder, of his elven miniatures that last.
So let us all rejoice, and hail this great master of art, Whose elven miniatures, have captured our heart, For in his hands, he wields a power so grand, That he creates a world, beyond what we can understand.
- Choose the Next Battle
Hark, ye backers of great renown, Whose support has kept us on solid ground, In our quest to bring a game so grand, To all who seek adventure, in a wondrous land.
Now we ask of thee, a question so bold, A challenge to thy wit, a tale to be told, Of which two factions, in the Battle so fierce, Wouldst thou like to see, in our game that we revere?
Will it be the Firstborn, with their might so great, Whose warriors charge forth, to seal their fate, Or the Elves, with their grace and poise so rare, Whose arrows fly true, to pierce through the air.
Or shall it be the Dwarves, with their sturdy frame, Whose hammers ring out, with a deafening acclaim, Or the Blackblood, with their cunning and guile, Whose treachery and schemes, make their foes recoil.
Or perhaps the Devout, with their faith so strong, Whose magic and prayers, right every wrong, Whose piety and devotion, know no bounds, Whose power and righteousness, astounds.
So tell us, oh backers, which two factions shall stand, In the Battle so epic, that is the heart of our land, For with your voice, we shall bring to life, A game of adventure, a story so rife.

So let us raise our voices high, In gratitude and in praise, To the backers of Chronopia, Who have waited long and true for these days.
Let´s start from the most important news. Time Schedule of production.
- SIOCAST MODELS
We are starting production of models. How it looks and how long each phase will take.
1st – SioCasting Company (DTR) receiving our models and preparing cut lines.
2nd – Models with those lines going back to 3d Sculptor Studio (Barruz Studio) to do the cuts.
3rd – Parts that has been cut are master printed in SioCasting Company to check if everything is castable. If not, 3d Sculptor Studio needs to amend it.
4th – The SioCasting Company creating moulds and start casting Chronopia models.
5th- Each production is split into more less 10 models. After that models are done, we continue to the next 10 models and get back to point 1.
In optimistic way if there won´t be any delays, those 5 points taking 2 weeks´ time. Chronopia range of models are about 130, which takes 26 weeks to be done.
At this very minute first 10 models are ready to cast (Firstborn Iron Guards and Longbowmen) and another 10 are waiting for cut lines (Firstborn Swordsmen and Firstborn Macemen).
If we investigate calendar, it tells us that production time will be till November 2023.
- RULEBOOK
We are waiting for your feedback till the end of May 2023. After that we will amend the rulebook and hopefully by the end of June 2023 will send it to the Printing House. After English version goes to print, our translators will start work on German version.
- BOXES
We have sent our boxes layouts to Heroic Signatures for approval. You can look on work in progress version below. After approving our graphic design team will start to create a layout for each unit. Unfortunately, we do not have yet all models painted in box cover standard, but they have been sent to Phantasos Studio to be painted. When we get the confirmation with completion date, we will let you know in separate update.
- SHIPPING
We cannot tell exact date when we start ship the parcels. Too many things need to be done before that, but we hope that backers will have their pledges before Christmas this year (English version).
After sending the pdf of beta Rulebook we have received a lot of emails from you about missing pdf. The main reason was that Pledge Manager wasn´t fulfilled. If you paid us money for things over Kickstarter but not have fulfilled the Pledge Manager, we do not know what you want, and we do not know the address – which means we won´t ship anything. Please double check if your pledge manager is fulfilled. Still 17% of the backers did not do the pledge manager.

- UPCOMING BATTLE REPORT VIDEO
(Devout vs Blackblood Empire)
In the land of Chronopia, where the winds of war constantly blow, a great battle looms on the horizon. The devout forces from the Vanhorn have mustered their armies, marching forth to face the dreaded Blackblood Empire on their own soil. The fate of nations hangs in the balance as these two mighty powers prepare to clash.
The Blackblood Empire, with their legions of fearsome orcs and ogres with their alchemy, have long been a thorn in the side of the Vanhorn citadel. Their brutal raids and merciless conquests have left a trail of blood and destruction in their wake, and the time has come for the devout to strike back. Led by the Warped Lords and Dusk Demons, the armies of the east march with grim determination towards the enemy lines.
The Empire´s legions, however, are no strangers to war. With their powerful war engines and alchemy powers, they stand ready to repel the eastern invaders. The sky is darkened by the smoke of forges as their weapons are sharpened and their armour is donned. The Empire´s generals issue their orders, rallying their troops with fiery speeches and promises of glory.
As the armies draw near, the ground trembles beneath their feet. The clash of steel and the roar of engines fills the air, drowning out even the cries of the wounded. The eastern forces, bolstered by their faith and their righteous fury, charge forward with a ferocity that takes the Empire by surprise. The Empire´s war engines belch forth smoke and flame, cutting down scores of the faithful with their deadly firepower.
But the dusk demons, shining with infernal power, lead the charge, their swords cutting through the Empire´s ranks like butter. Their prayers and blessings lend strength and courage to their comrades, and the tide of battle begins to turn. The Empire´s generals, sensing the danger, throw their elite troops into the fray, hoping to stem the eastern advance.
In the midst of the chaos, a figure strides forth from the eastern lines. It is the Warped Lord himself, wielding a Horn of Decay, that glows with a twisting dark light. His voice rings out across the battlefield, calling down the power of the dark one himself to smite the Blackblood´s forces. The skies darken, and lightning strikes the ground, blasting apart the Empire´s war machines and leaving their troops reeling.
As the smoke clears, the Empire´s forces are in disarray, their lines shattered, and their morale broken. The northern forces press their advantage, hacking their way through the scattered remnants of the Empire´s army. At last, with a triumphant cry, they reach the heart of the Empire´s territory, their faith and their bravery earning them a hard-fought victory.
Thus ends the battle, but the war continues. The Vanhorn Citadel has struck a blow against the Blackblood Empire, but their enemies will not rest until they have been vanquished once and for all. And so, the armies of Chronopia continue to march, their destinies intertwined in a never-ending struggle for power and glory.
- NEXT UPDATE
Listen, oh ye faithful backers, For I bring tidings of a tale, A story of the unforeseen, That hath caused us to stumble and fail.
We had set forth with great ambition, To bring to life a vision bold, To craft a world of wonder and magic, For ye, our backers, brave and bold.
But alas, our calculations were flawed, And our plans did not come to be, For the path we chose was treacherous, And obstacles we did not foresee.
We journeyed forth with hearts afire, And a fierce determination to succeed, But the road was long and winding, And we were caught in a tempest´s heed.
Yet through the storm we pressed on, With grit and courage we forged ahead, And though our progress was delayed, We refused to be vanquished or misled.
But still we stumbled and faltered, And the deadline we had set was missed, For the path we chose was fraught with peril, And the challenges proved too much to resist.
Yet hear me now, oh ye noble backers, For though we faltered, we did not fail, And the next update we bring forth, Shall reveal the reasons for our travail.
We shall not make excuses or equivocate, Nor shall we shy from the truth, For we owe it to ye, our loyal backers, To be transparent and forthright in all we do.
So hold fast, oh ye steadfast backers, For the next update shall come to thee, And though it may bring challenges and obstacles, We shall press on with unwavering bravery.

- So – about the delays…
As announced, here are some explanations and dumb excuses about the delayed production schedule.
First of all – this is our first big miniature product. In the past we mainly did pen&paper books, novels and only a handful of single miniatures.
So, we frankly wrongly estimated the time it takes to go from 3d design to finished model. Since we had the designs ready at the time of the crowdfunding, we thought we wouldn´t take that much time to get everything else organised. We were wrong with that, obviously.
Talking to the manufacture and finally getting production started took longer than expected because “everyone” was drowning in work, had personal issues, had to cope with Covid and the general state of the world, wasn´t at SPIEL to talk to properly in person… and so on…
We ourselves were hit hard by Covid and the war in the Ukraine – paper got VERY expensive, so printing costs for our products went up, which affected our overall cashflow and slowed us down. Also, some private issues took me out of order most of 2021 and slowed everything down.
Because of that we had to change direction generally with the company, like ending our affords in having our own store in Germany, which we put a lot of money and work in already and then putting much work into AGAIN to unwind that project.
Or moving our warehouse and logistics to somewhere cheaper, which we will do within the next months.
And it was somewhat similar with the partners we work together with, so these problems and delays “stacked” on each other.
But we are now working very hard (and hopefully fast ) on the actual production of the miniatures and accessories, so you will see pictures of proof of our current work very soon and regularly!

70. Second Crimson Moon
Chronopia RealmsChronomancer Alistair Crom Ronald Owley, a figure of captivating presence, stood as a pillar of knowledge and power within the Firstborn ranks. With an aura that blended wisdom and authority, he commanded both respect and admiration from those who knew of his formidable abilities.
Tall and imposing, Alistair possessed an air of agelessness, his silver hair flowing like streams of time itself. His eyes, a mesmerizing shade of deep azure, held a profound intensity that hinted at the countless secrets they had beheld. Etched upon his weathered face were the lines of a life spent delving into the mysteries of chronomancy, each mark a testament to the depth of his knowledge.
Rumours had whispered through the shadowed corridors of the arcane guild, carrying tidings of an extraordinary honour bestowed upon him. The One King himself had summoned Alistair to journey to the enigmatic realm known as Yperdiastimapi, or the 8th Tower.
As the Chronomancer stepped through the ancient portal, the air crackled with an electric fervour, and a profound sense of reverence embraced his being. The 8th Tower awaited, a place where the boundaries of reality blurred, and possibilities beyond mortal comprehension awaited discovery.
Wandering through the labyrinthine corridors of the tower, Alistair´s eyes fell upon a massive mural that adorned the wall. It was a sprawling map of the known realms, intricately detailed and shimmering with a mystic luminescence. Each realm bore its own unique character, shaped by the whims of magic and the dreams of its inhabitants.
From the heavenly light of Anypsosipa to the Realm of Souls of Ypodiastimapia, the map revealed a tapestry of wonders. Alistair´s gaze lingered upon unknown for the Firstborn Haven Realm of Katafigiopia, where Elven Lotus Eaters and Dream Warriors are traveling using their magic. He marvelled at the shimmering Realm of Ypodiastimapia, where most of the souls end up after meeting their doom.
Further still, his eyes traced the shadowed Twilight Realm called Lycophospia, cloaked in perpetual darkness, where nocturnal creatures thrived under the watchful moon´s gaze. Beside it there was all known Dusk Realm, from where most of the infernal creatures comes to Chronopia Realm. Across the sprawling expanse, countless other realms beckoned, each with its own secrets and tales waiting to be unravelled.
Yet, as Alistair drank in the wonders of the mural, he couldn´t help but feel the weight of his purpose. The One King awaited him, the embodiment of power and wisdom. His heart swelled with a mixture of awe and trepidation, knowing that his journey through the 8th Tower would lead him to the presence of greatness itself.
The corridors stretched on, adorned with ancient tapestries and illuminated by orbs of pulsating magic. Time seemed to bend and warp, guiding Alistair towards his destined encounter. With every step, he could sense the fabric of reality thinning, his connection to the realms deepening.
Finally, Alistair reached the heart of the tower, where an imposing throne awaited him. As he gazed upon the One King, an entity cloaked in regal robes and crowned with celestial light, a surge of reverence coursed through his veins. The Chronomancer knelt, his head bowed in deference, ready to receive the wisdom and guidance that awaited him.
The journey to Yperdiastimapi had brought Alistair to the pinnacle of his craft, in the presence of the ultimate arbiter of time. His story, intertwined with the vast tapestry of Chronopia, had taken an irrevocable turn.

- A personal letter of the manufacturer.
Dear backers of Chronopia,
For the Miniatures production I have find some difficulties to fulfil your project.
As normal a render of a mini is not the file we use for production. There is a long way to clean up and making miniatures castable.
Originally when I started with the project, my plan was to cut the models on skype with the people of Chronopia (10 models per 14 days) and mould them into family moulds (more models per mould ) in this way I could get one complete faction in 3 moulds.
The parts which still give me some issues I decided to print. But more and more building you project I started to realize that printing on demand would be a better option than making moulds for just 100-200 pieces each and get a lot of technical issues of the moulding in family moulds.
In mean time my company have expanded 2 years in a row for more than 30% per year and I have travelled globally to sell and install professional 3D printers and injection moulding machines. In this fantastic journey I learned minimum as much as I did learn other people. Which is great for both! Looking back to a year ago a lot has changed into production of a miniature. ATM I am promoting a concept called hybrid production, where slowly we are moving from moulding to printing without losing quality. As a matter of fact, the reason of our great quality is we are using for years printing our masters on Asiga 3d printers "Expensive but extremely detailed and crisp". Normally we always have used or masters to form them into silicon. But the Asiga build trays are getting bigger and the materials we are using to print our maters getting more flexible. So, production printing has started also in my company. Instead of making a master ready, we just print our production.
For Chronopia the lower volumes are making the project perfect for that. As I already have moulded and cast one faction and you will see that we will deliver a combination between moulding and printing. The next factions even more parts will be printed instead casted.
For the last 7 months I am responsible for the delays in the miniatures! The growing of my company has made it impossible to help this project with some challenges.
What do I mean with helping:
The biggest challenge for me was how to successfully make this project happen with so many models for that price. I my opinion It´s a lot of models of a great quality for the amount that you have paid. When I would cast and mould this myself it´s still profitable for me and the company and use it a case study, when I really put a lot of staff on this project, it´s definitely not. I got in touch with the Chronopia project true a friend/customer of me and I promised him that I will help him out. So, I will keep myself to the promise. From week the week of November the 20th I will pick up my work with this project to work on it for 2days per week. I will combine printing and Moulding and send you a weekly update in the process. Let me also say that I am only responsible for the miniatures in this project.
Patric asked me what´s the reason of the delay of the miniatures, well I told him exactly what´s in the letter, and I don´t mind at all if he will share this with the backers. I am really proud in my company and where we have gone in the last 20 years. I still have my biggest passion in making miniatures in the best possible quality. Feel free to look and Instagram or Facebook what we are doing!
From the 20th I keep you updated and again sorry for the delays of the miniatures!
Met vriendelijke groet,
Kind Regards,
Ramon Jahn

Join us as we unveil the latest developments of our project and witness the fruits of our labour and passion.
- Miniature Production
Due to the delays from the DTR manufacturer company, we have decided to diversify our production. We have begun to produce Chronopia models from different manufacturers, starting from the end of our list. We aim to complete the production of all the miniatures by May 2024. We hope this decision will speed up the process, as we are no longer dependent on a single company. As previously stated, we will prepare a spreadsheet that displays the production status of each faction. Updates will be more frequent as well.
We are excited to announce that we are developing a new character for the game, who can be used in any faction. This is our way of expressing our gratitude for your patience and support during the long delays. We can only reveal that she will be a Forest Hag for now but stay tuned for more updates.

The production of the dice has commenced. We expect to receive them by the end of February 2024, as the New Year holiday in China may cause some delays. Here is a spreadsheet showing the details of the dice.
- Product Catalogue
Our talented graphic team is working on a Catalogue that showcases our range of models. The catalogue will be called “Archives” and will feature stunning images and descriptions of our products.

81. Second Frozen Moon!
Dear Valued Backers,We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to transparency and timely communication, we are thrilled to share the latest update on the production of the miniatures.
Our skilled artisans have been hard at work meticulously crafting each component of the Dusk Realm Demon. We are pleased to present a sneak peek—a photo showcasing the individual parts of the miniature before they are carefully assembled and packaged.
Rest assured, your support has fuelled our passion, and we are committed to delivering a remarkable product. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for being part of this incredible journey. Your enthusiasm and encouragement continue to inspire us.
We are delighted to unveil a captivating addition to the Chronopia Universe: the enigmatic Forest Hag. This mystical character, brought to life by the talented artist Pol Amaya, is poised to leave an indelible mark on our rich narrative.
Meet the Forest Hag:
In deep forests, under a dense canopy of leaves and branches where the sun rays cannot penetrate, dwell solitary figures. This has always been the way; as outcasts, criminals, and all sorts of degenerates seek the solitude of the Wilds. However, with the opening of the Duskgates from the Prophets, the effects of the Darkening only grew stronger, and these individuals quickly became tainted by its pervasive energies. Being granted minor powers and fuelled by the common folk’s superstition, the wider society perceived these powers as hexes on the rare occasions these two interacted together. Love potions, poisons, balms, and curses were the services provided by these individuals to anyone willing to seek them out. And there always are those willing to dab into the forbidden for just a little. In return, these hags would seek any number of things, be it coins, rare ingredients for their bubbling pots, or promises for the turnover of the first son of the petitioner to the hag. Although some foolishly agree, they do it disregarding that these bended crows know no honour and are loyal only to themselves and their petty interests.
A hag rarely forms any social bonds, and leads a solitary life of destitute misery, scavenging daily for her needs. Thus, a roaming band of warriors is a great boon for her survival, as she can offer her services in return for what she needs. On the other hand, a warlord will temporarily use her unexpected services, even though he is usually unaware that these services are granted because of the Darkening.
Pol Amaya’s brush strokes breathe life into the Forest Hag’s ethereal form. The interplay of colours—subtle greens, earthy browns, and hints of twilight purple—captures the essence of ancient magic. Each stroke reveals a story, whispered through the ages.
As we welcome the Forest Hag into our ranks, we invite you to explore her backstory, unravel her motivations, and speculate on her role in the unfolding saga. The Chronopia Universe thrives on your imagination, and we eagerly anticipate the tales you will weave around this enigmatic character.
82. First Savage Moon
Welcome Lords and Ladies to the Savage Moon update!Miniature Spreadsheet Production
Behold, noble backers! As promised, we unveil the ancient scrolls of our miniature production spreadsheet. Across the hallowed halls of our workshop, artisans toiled tirelessly, their hands guided by the very spirits of imagination. From the molten forge emerged legions of warriors, totems, and arcane beings. Each is finely detailed, each infused with the essence of epic quests. These minis stand ready, their swords aloft, awaiting your command on the battlefield. Behold, for the miniature range, has sprung to life, and its glory shall echo through the ages!
Dice Production
From the cosmic loom, the d20s have materialized! Their facets shimmer like constellations, their edges honed by celestial mathematicians. In the heart of the Blackblood dice, we made a pact with the stars. The gold font, once radiant as a sun-kissed crown, now yields to the abyss. Behold, the letters etched in obsidian black, a stark contrast against the verdant gaming table. Fear not, for readability shall be your ally. The green light of approval flickers, and the dice forge awaits its grand symphony—the hum of mass production.
BOOKS
Across storm-tossed seas, the UK division’s ships sail, laden with knowledge. Their cargo? Hardcover rulebooks, bound in dragonhide and inked with eldritch runes. Within their pages lie the secrets of realms, the rules that govern magic and war. But wait, fellow adventurers! The Solo Adventures rulebook, soft as a moonbeam’s kiss, accompanies its sturdier sibling. At Salute, beneath banners of chivalry and dragonbane fire, you shall claim these tomes. Let the quest begin!
Behold, Valiant Seekers of Destiny!
In the hallowed halls of creation, where ink meets parchment and imagination dances with fate, we made a solemn vow: to weave a saga of solitude, a ballad of one amidst the clamour of armies and the clash of realms.
From the very loom of our intentions, we spun forth a promise—a Solo Ruleset to nestle within the folds of the main rulebook. Alas, the cosmic tapestry proved unforgiving, its threads too tightly woven. No crevice remained for the whispered secrets of Chronopia’s solitary quests.
But fear not, noble backers! For in the forge of necessity, we hammered a separate expansion—a tome that sings of lone champions, of whispered prophecies, and the echo of footsteps in forgotten crypts. Behold, the Solo Adventure book emerges, its pages a gateway to realms uncharted.
Those who pledged their hearts and gold for the rulebook, whether in physical or ethereal form, shall not journey alone. Clasp this promise to your breast: with each rulebook, a companion awaits. The Solo Adventure book, inked in moonlight and bound in courage, shall be your guide.
And so, dear backers, heed this clarion call: Patience, like a blade honed in starlight, for our fulfilment caravan stirs. We do not unfurl sails until every treasure is accounted for, every rune inscribed. But know this—the wheels turn, the constellations whisper, and the solo odyssey awaits.
Patience, O Brave Seekers
A clarion call echoes across the Kickstarter realm: Patience, dear backers! Our caravan does not depart until every treasure is counted; every map unfurled. The shipping vessels await their cargo, their hulls laden with dreams. Fear not the passage of time, for behold—the gears turn, the stars align. The wheels of destiny creak and the fulfillment journey marches forth. Soon, your hands shall cradle the fruits of our labour. Until then, keep vigil, for our saga unfolds.

We are thrilled to officially announce that Chronopia will make its grand debut at Salute 52 in London! This renowned wargaming event will serve as the battlefield upon which our vision comes to life. Mark your calendars, as Salute 52 will be the stage for revealing the culmination of our combined efforts, passion, and creativity. It is here that the world will witness the rebirth of Chronopia – and it’s all thanks to you.
A Battle with Manufacturing Woes
As in any epic tale, not all allies prove steadfast. At the start of this year, our initial manufacturing partner in the netherlands, extended an apology for earlier shortcomings, promising to fulfil their commitments. Yet, after that initial gesture, silence fell. Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to recover the models they claimed to have produced, leaving us with no choice but to entrust production entirely to our second – now primary – manufacturing partner.
While we have full confidence in their craftsmanship and dedication, this shift will regrettably result in a delay of approximately one month. It pains us to report this, but we believe transparency is key. Know that this decision, though difficult, was made to ensure you receive the highest quality models that Chronopia demands and deserves.
A Christmas Wish Deferred
We share your disappointment that we will not be able to ship your parcels in time for the holiday season as we had hoped. This was a dream we all shared, but the challenges we’ve faced have slowed our charge. Rest assured, we are pushing forward with all haste to deliver Chronopia to you as quickly as possible without compromising quality.
Behold the Production Schedule
Transparency is a cornerstone of our journey, so we are proud to share the latest production schedule as it stands at the end of November 2024. Each milestone on this chart represents a step closer to delivering Chronopia into your hands. This timeline reflects our determination to overcome every obstacle and fulfil the promise of this world we’re building together.
Know this: every day is a stride toward bringing this universe to life..
Mystical Marvels Await at Salute 52
Salute 52 will not only mark the official premiere of Chronopia but also a gateway to a world of wonder. Expect to encounter magical artifacts, mystical creatures, and surprises that will transport you straight into the heart of Chronopia. We are preparing an extraordinary experience, and if you can, you simply must join us. This is not just an event; it is a celebration of everything that makes Chronopia extraordinary.
A Quest Beyond Funding
To bring Chronopia to life, we have invested far beyond the funds raised on Kickstarter – several times over, in fact. Yet we press on, driven by our unwavering belief in this project. This is more than a game; it is a shared dream, a world of boundless adventure forged by your trust and our determination. Every challenge has been a lesson, every setback a call to rise again. Together, we will see Chronopia not just survive but thrive. Thank You for Your Endurance
We could not have come this far without you – our incredible backers. Your support fuels us, your belief in Chronopia strengthens us, and your patience inspires us. This project is a labour of love, and though the road has been long, we are closer than ever to its completion. The Age of Chronopia is near. Stand with us as we cross this final threshold and prepare for the glory to come.
With deepest gratitude,
The Chronopia Team

Reminder: we will have two shipping hubs. 1st in the UK for our UK backers, and 2nd in Germany for the EU and rest of the world.
93. First Savage Moon!
Hear ye, noble Lords and Ladies!As the Savage Moon rises over the storied skies of Chronopia, its crimson glow heralds the approach of a grand event—our Chronopia premiere at London Salute 52! With each passing day, the moment draws nearer, and we stand on the precipice of something legendary.
But before the battle drums sound, we bring forth thrilling tidings… and a question that only the boldest among you can answer!
First, we shall unveil the sacred art of miniature forging—a process long shrouded in mystery and eagerly awaited by many!
The fires of our forge burn ever brighter! The next wave of mighty warriors and fearsome creations is already taking shape, summoned from the depths of our craft. Even now, steel is tempered, resin is cast, and soon, these new champions shall emerge, ready to be revealed to the world!
Onward to the next chapter—The Arrival of the Boxes!
The forging is done, and the mighty boxes that will bear the essence of Chronopia are complete! Behold the images, sent from across the distant seas by our skilled overseas artisans.
Even now, the great journey begins! The ships, though steadfast, are at the mercy of the vast and unforgiving ocean. With tides as their only master, they are expected to reach our shores by the end of April at the earliest.
Yet, fear not! A select few have already taken flight aboard the legendary Firstborn Aircraft, racing against time to reach the UK before Salute 52. But for the rest, patience will be our ally until the grand arrival!
Now, noble backers, the moment of decision is upon you!
With the forging of our miniatures complete, we stand ready to begin the grand dispatch of your long-awaited pledges after Salute 52.
Yet, the tides of fate have thrown a challenge in our path—the delay of the boxes that would house these treasures.
And so, we turn to you, our loyal champions:
Shall we send forth your pledges without the retail boxes, ensuring swift delivery of your spoils?
Or…
Or do you choose the path of patience, waiting a little longer to receive your mighty miniatures encased within their rightful retail boxes?
The choice is yours, brave backers—will you claim your spoils swiftly, or wait for them to arrive in their full glory?
At long last, the ship bearing the sacred tokens has reached our stronghold!
The voyage was long, the seas relentless, but the precious cargo had finally arrived at our main office. Now, behold these relics of battle—captured in the images below—ready to be claimed by those who dare to wield them!
What sets Chronopia apart from all others? The answer lies within the heart of every battle—Unit Cards and Equipment Cards, forged to bring strategy and depth to the battlefield and found within every miniature box.
A great milestone has been reached! A portion of these powerful decks has already arrived at our UK stronghold, ensuring that all models and pledges prepared for Salute 52 stand ready for their destined champions.
Yet, the journey is not over. The remaining shipment still charts its course toward our German stronghold, while the final decks race across land and sea, soon to reach the UK and complete the arsenal. The wait will not be long—the battle draws near!
Salute 52—The Hour Draws Near!
Brave backers, if you wish to claim your pledge in person at Salute 52, you must send an email to marcin@chronopia.world using your Kickstarter email. Only through this path can we ensure your treasures are ready for you at the event!
Be warned—we do not possess vast storehouses, nor can we hold surplus stock. This is the only way to secure your pledge at the show, so act swiftly!
A Warning to Our Mainland Travelers!
From April 2025, a tourist visa will be required to set foot upon the mist-shrouded isle of the UK. Do not let bureaucracy stand in the way of your adventure—prepare in advance!

The time is upon us—Salute 52 awaits!
94. The Wailing Moon
Hear Ye, Hear Ye!Lords and Ladies of the Realm, gather round for the latest proclamation from the Wailing Moon!
In this grand update, we unveil mighty progress on our epic quest: Cards, Boxes, Shipping, the Retail Road Map, and the glorious Salute 52.
The Cards Are Forged
A momentous day is upon us! The scribes and artisans of the Printing House have completed their sacred duty. Both the English and German decks—crafted with care and clad in glory—have emerged from production!
Now, they await their journey upon wooden pallets, bound for our stronghold in Germany.
Behold the relics of this craftsmanship—images of the final cards await below, their power sealed and ready.
The Boxes Have Landed
At first light, the ravens brought word—our ship has made harbour in the port of Rotterdam! The crates, brimming with treasures, shall now pass the gauntlet of customs.
Once freed, they will ride with haste to our headquarters in the heart of the Empire. The journey nears its end.
The Shipping Gauntlet
Soon, the final pieces shall fall into place. Then begins the mighty task: sorting the components, assembling the pledges, and preparing the parcels for their noble voyage to you—our loyal backers.
It is no small undertaking. Each box shall be packed with the care of a royal seal.
The timeline is still shrouded in a bit of mist, but fear not! Once the path is clear, we shall share another update—complete with images from the war room itself.
Our hope is to launch this great exodus before the month´s end. Some goods will journey further still, to our English Hub, to fulfil the destiny of the Isles.
The Retail Road Map Begins
The gates of the Chronopia Web Shop are being fortified as we speak, prepared to open for pre-orders. But they shall remain shut until the first parcels leave our HQ and Hub.
Retailers, prepare yourselves: the Starter Boxes shall be your vanguard, with the full might of the Kickstarter offerings to follow in steady waves—each month bringing more of the Realm to life.
Subscribe to our scrolls—Facebook, Instagram, and beyond—to remain in the know.
A Triumphant Salute – The Glory of Salute 52
To the champions who braved the halls of Salute 52 and stood beside us—we thank you.
It was an honour of the highest order to meet you upon the field, to share laughter, tales, and the thrill of battle across the flames of our demo board.
Our stock was scarce—rarer than dragon’s gold—and only a fortunate few were able to claim our sacred miniatures at the show. Yet amidst the throng, some noble backers stepped forth and received their pledges in person, their quest fulfilled beneath the banners of Chronopia. To the rest of our loyal warriors—fear not!
Your time draws near. Soon, each of you shall grasp these legendary figures and bring them to life upon the battlefield.
Chronopia has returned.
Not as an echo of the past…
But as a thunderclap of the future.
And it shall not fade.
Long live the One King.
Long live the Realm reborn.
95. The Chronicles of Fulfilment: A Message to Our Noble Backers
Lords and Ladies of Chronopia,The horns of progress sound once more across the lands, and we bring tidings from the heart of the realm!
I. The Arrival of the Sacred Cargo
By steed, by ship, by unyielding will, the great Boxes and Cards of Chronopia have arrived triumphantly at our fortress in Germany. The hour was late, the skies brooding, but our couriers were true and tireless..
II. The Awaited Foundations
Yet still, we await one final piece of this mighty puzzle—the Bases. Without them, our warriors stand ungrounded. They are en route, and by the grace of the gods of logistics, should reach our keep by the end of next week.
III. The Ritual of Sorting
Should all arrive as foretold, we shall begin the Grand Sorting. Each artifact, each token, each relic shall be carefully placed into its destined box, ready to march forth across the lands. This process shall commence as soon as the Bases find their place among us.
IV. The Voyage to Albion
As the sorting begins, a great shipment shall set sail toward our stronghold in the United Kingdom. There, preparations shall echo those in Germany, ensuring both sides of the sea are ready for the coming storm of fulfilment.
V. The Calling of Pledges
Once the armouries are set and the spoils divided, we shall begin the sacred task of pledge picking. Each of you, noble backers, shall soon receive that which was promised—your part in the saga of Chronopia.
VI. Gratitude to the Faithful
To you, our unwavering champions, we offer eternal gratitude. You stood by us when all was dream and shadow. Now, your patience brings forth reality and glory.
Raise your banners, Lords and Ladies—Chronopia rises!
With honour and steel,
The Chronopia Team
96. Rising Sun
Hail, Noble Lords and Ladies of the Rising Sun!We bid you welcome to this long-awaited chronicle from the halls of our keep. First, we offer our sincerest apologies for the recent silence—our Dwarven zeppelins were moored in the repair docks, and the winds of news did not carry our words swiftly across the realms. Much has stirred in the forges of our labour, and in the spirit of progress, we have welcomed a new champion into our ranks—one who shall bear the standard of Chronopia and beyond. You shall find his words of introduction below.
As for the fruits of our craft—the miniatures—the time is nigh. In the industrious lands of our German stronghold, the great work has begun: boxes are being assembled, each a treasure hoard destined for your hands. Behold the images below, glimpses into the labour of our artisans.
Once these relics are packed and prepared, we shall begin the sorting of pledges and the grand dispatch shall commence. With fortune´s favour, our next missive shall carry the tidings you have long awaited—the call to arms, and the beginning of shipment.
I am Sven Holz, aged forty-two winters, a steadfast wanderer in the realms of imagination. For many years, I have walked the winding paths of roleplaying games, traversed the battlefields of tabletop warfare, and conjured vivid worlds in miniature form with brush and color. In the forges of creation, I have also delved into the arcane craft of 3D printing, shaping visions from digital ether into tangible relics of wonder. Whether breathing life into a dragon’s scale or the weathered blade of a fallen hero, I have always sought to honor the spirit of the worlds we love. And now, a great chapter begins — I have ascended from loyal companion to full-fledged member of the Uhrwerk guild! With inked scrolls and brimming paintpots, with passion and purpose, I shall lend my every ounce of creativity to this noble fellowship. The journey ahead gleams with promise, and I am thrilled beyond measure to help shape what lies beyond the next horizon. Together, let us forge legends!
Welcome aboard Sven.
Stay vigilant, and may your dice ever roll true.
97. Shipping Moon arise!
Hearken, Lords and Ladies of Chronopia!
From the lofty spires of Myrmadon Tower, the signal has been loosed — the great campaign now turns toward fulfilment. The hour you have long awaited is upon us, and our own anticipation burns as brightly as yours.
The treasures of your pledges have arrived at our stronghold in the United Kingdom. Once Border Reiver has passed, our scribes and quartermasters shall begin the sacred work of preparing and dispatching these long-promised parcels. Backers within the UK, stand ready — for an email bearing your tracking numbers shall soon ride forth to your inboxes like a herald before the host. Look forward for Royal Mail tracking email.
Meanwhile, in our fortress of Germany, the artisans have completed their toil of packing, and the first wave of shipments will now set sail across the lands of Europe. Backers from UE stand ready for (most probably) DHL email with tracking details. We are planning to send first parcels by the end of next week.
Alas, we had wished to send forth the bounty to the valiant souls of the New World first. Yet cruel tariffs bar the passage, and the merchants of shipping deny us the road from Old World to the New. We strive with all our might to break this blockade, and we shall keep you ever informed of our progress.
Forgive us, brave allies, for this ill-timed delay — but know that our plans were thwarted by none other than the Golf Boss, whose whims reshaped the field of battle.
Below few photos from German HQ with prepared miniatures.
To our steadfast German backers:
Know this — at the coming gathering of heroes and legends, Magic Con, your pledged treasures shall await at the banners of Uhrwerk Verlag. Should you wish to claim them in person, send forth a missive to the keeper of records, Sven (sven@uhrwerk-verlag.de), using the very email with which you first pledged your loyalty upon Kickstarter.
Yet be warned, noble allies: all your promised spoils may be taken into your hands save only the Great Rulebook (DE), which even now remains upon the anvil, still being forged to perfection.
And lo! Here you can take a look on few photos from our stand at Britcon2025.
And here few photos from Claymore 2025 (Edinburgh). Thanks for our Demo1ng Team especially Roland we had two great tables you could play Chronopia on.
Forthcoming gatherings, where warriors may test their mettle upon the battlefield of Chronopia — and where the treasures of our crafted models shall be offered for purchase:
Border Reiver (UK) – September 2025
MagicCon (DE) – September 2025
FIASCO (UK) – October 2025
Warfare (UK) – November 2025
Salute 53 (UK) – April 2026
Carrorade (Scotland) – May 2026
Games Expo (UK) – May 2026
Pyrkon 2026 – (PL) June 2026
Claymore (Scotland) – October 2026
and more to be announced.

98. Shipping timetable and news from Germany
Dear Backers!Today our update is made exceptionally from the German logistics team with a more detailed schedule regarding shipments and a small info for our German backers.
We are currently still clarifying some logistic details, but in about one week fulfillment for the UK backers will start. In about two weeks fulfillment for EU backers will start, except for Germany.
At SPIEL (23rd to 26th of October), it’s also possible to pick up your parcel, if you want to. Please let us know until 3rd of October, so we can prepare your rewards.
It’s also possible to pick up items at MagicCon in Bonn (26th to 28th of September). Please let us know until 23rd of September if you want to get your miniatures there.
Right after SPIEL we will start sending out the remaining parcels to our German backers and non-EU international backers, except for the USA. As you probably know, there are currently massive problems with US customs on both sides of the Atlantic that have to be sorted out by higher powers than us.
Before that German wave of shipment, we will also have an updated and massively edited German version of the quickstart rules as a PDF for our German backers.
If there are any further delays, we will of course inform you about that.
Kind regards
Naschi
99. Stand Deutsche Regeln
Dear Backer,the following update is directed specifically at our German speaking supporters, as it concerns the German edition of the Chronopia Rulebook.
Thank you for your understanding and for staying with us on this journey!
Liebe Backer,
wir möchten euch heute ein wichtiges Update zum Stand der deutschen Version von Chronopia geben.
Das deutsche Regelwerk befindet sich aktuell noch in der Überarbeitung. Da uns die Qualität besonders am Herzen liegt, haben wir uns dazu entschieden, die Auslieferung für unsere deutschsprachigen Unterstützer in zwei Wellen vorzunehmen:
Welle 1: Ihr erhaltet eure Miniaturen sowie alle freigeschalteten Extras.
Welle 2: Das überarbeitete deutsche Regelwerk folgt, sobald die Arbeiten abgeschlossen sind.
Uns ist bewusst, dass dies für euch eine kleine Verzögerung bedeutet, und wir möchten uns für die entstehenden Unannehmlichkeiten aufrichtig entschuldigen. Unsere Priorität ist es, euch ein hochwertiges und rundes Produkt zu liefern – dieser Anspruch ist der Hauptgrund für diese Entscheidung.
Als kleines Trostpflaster stellen wir allen deutschsprachigen Backern einen Link zu den Schnellstarter-Regeln zur Verfügung, damit ihr schon jetzt in die Welt von Chronoppia eintauchen könnt. Diesen könnt ihr hier herunterladen.
Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis und eure Geduld – wir sind überzeugt, dass sich das Warten lohnen wird!
Euer Chronopia-Team
100. Update: EU shipping & current status
Hello everyone!(German version below)
We are happy to announce that EU shipping is in full swing!
Our team is currently busy packing parcels, and many of them are already on their way to you. We hope you will have your copies in your hands soon and are as excited as we are!
Minor challenges
Unfortunately, there is also a small downside:
We have identified quality issues with some copies that do not meet our standards. We are working hard to rectify these defects, which may lead to delays in some individual cases.
It is important to us that you receive a product that meets our (and your!) expectations – therefore, we ask for your understanding and a little patience.
Delays after the trade fair
Some of you may have noticed that there were delays after the game fair. These were caused, among other things, by illness within the team. However, we are now back to full strength and working hard to catch up!
Update on shipping to the USA
There is currently no concrete news regarding shipping to the USA. We are continuing to explore various options and will be in touch as soon as we have found a satisfactory solution.
Thank you for your patience, trust, and support!
Your Chronopia-team
Hallo zusammen!
Wir freuen uns, euch mitteilen zu können, dass der EU-Versand in vollem Gange ist!
Unser Team packt derzeit fleißig Pakete, und viele davon sind bereits auf dem Weg zu euch. Wir hoffen, dass ihr eure Exemplare bald in den Händen haltet und euch genauso darauf freut wie wir!
Kleine Herausforderungen
Leider gibt es auch einen kleinen Wermutstropfen:
Bei einigen Exemplaren haben wir Qualitätsprobleme festgestellt, die nicht unseren Ansprüchen entsprechen. Wir arbeiten mit Hochdruck daran, diese Mängel zu beheben, was in einigen Einzelfällen zu Verzögerungen führen kann.
Uns ist wichtig, dass ihr ein Produkt erhaltet, das unseren (und euren!) Erwartungen gerecht wird – daher bitten wir um euer Verständnis und ein klein wenig Geduld.
Verzögerungen nach der Messe
Einige von euch haben sicher bemerkt, dass es nach der Spielmesse zu Verzögerungen kam. Diese entstanden unter anderem durch Krankheitsfälle im Team. Wir sind aber wieder vollständig einsatzbereit und geben Gas, um den Rückstand aufzuholen!
Update zum USA-Versand
Zum Versand in die USA gibt es derzeit noch keine konkreten Neuigkeiten. Wir prüfen weiterhin verschiedene Optionen und melden uns, sobald wir eine zufriedenstellende Lösung gefunden haben.
Vielen Dank für eure Geduld, euer Vertrauen und eure Unterstützung!
Euer Chronopia -Team
