over 3 years ago – Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 09:21:15 PM

Hello, Heroes!
 Here we are on the long-awaited day! Nova Aetas: Renaissance Pledge Manager starts today!
 Initially, invitation emails will be sent to 5% of the backers, randomly selected by the system. After 48 hours, BackerKit will send emails to access the PM to all backers.
 So don't worry if you don't receive the email from Backerkit today. In any case, keep an eye on your spam folder too!

If you have not received your invitation within 10 days from today, please contact us using this link:

LMS Support Center

The NA: R pledge manager will remain open until May 2021, so you can take your time to complete it, of course, we will notify you when the PM closing approaches.
 Credit cards will be charged weekly.

And now some useful information to help you manage your survey in the best way, with a quick step by step guide.

STEP 1 - Confirm your pledge
 After you click on the link in the email, you will land on the Pledge Manager starting page. Here you will be asked to confirm your pledge level and enter your country. By clicking on "switch your pledge level" you can change your pledge level with a different one. Important note for Early Bird pledges: Backers who have an EB pledge and want to change their pledge level (ie. from Renaissance EB to Titan EB), must contact us to do the switch because access to EB pledges must be authorized.
 By clicking on "Get Started" you will confirm your pledge and you will be asked to choose the language of the items included in that pledge level.

STEP 2 - Add-ons
 In this section, you will find all the available add-ons.
 Add-ons are divided into categories: Bundles, Gamers Add-ons, Additional Pledges, Cosmetic Add-ons, and Extras.
 When you Add to Cart, Backerkit will automatically update shipping costs (based on volumetric weight and country).
 When you have finished your selection, click "Next".

STEP 3 - Shipping
 In this step, you will have to fill the fields with your shipping information. Make sure those are accurate. We will notify you all before pledge manager closure, to let you manage last-minute changes. Anyway, we will be able to change your address anytime before the starting of the fulfillment phase.
 When you have finished click "Next".

STEP 4 - Confirm
 Here you will have a summary of your Survey and you will have to enter your credit card details.
 If everything looks ok for you, just click on "Place My Order"

Congratulations, you have finished your survey!

VAT Update

Many of you contacted us about the recent updates in VAT policies made by some other companies.
 We are happy to confirm that we will not ask you for extra money to cover VAT policy changes.

Polish printed version

We have included Polish language selection for all NA: R items, remember this choice is subject to the number of core box copies that will be ordered at the end of the Pledge Manager.
 If the core box reaches 500 copies in Polish, the printed version in Polish will be produced. If this number will not be reached, each item selected in Polish will be transformed into its English version.
 At the end of the Pledge Manager, we will inform you if the number has been reached and how we will proceed with the language changes from Polish to English (or into a different language by contacting us).

New Crossover Add-ons!

The response to the survey launched last week was very high, thank you for helping us, and thank you for all your precious feedback!
 The vast majority of the community decided to make the following expansions playable in Black Rose Wars:
The Mediceo - Can be played in BRW as a new Mage!
Minotaur - In BRW it can be summoned thanks to a new Forgotten Spell
Draco - It will be a new (huge) Evocation for BRW, summonable using a new Forgotten Spell.

All the material to allow these expansions to be played in BRW will be added without changes to the final prices.

New Dice set!

We have implemented the dice set's final look! Now each color has its own unique style, inspired by the NA: R natural and magical elements, for example, the red dice will have a runic themed style, purple dice will have a Void inspired style, and so on.

Now each player can have his own set of dice and play the game with more style!

What do I have to take to have it all?

If you love NA: R and you want to have a complete collection, here is the list of what you will need to select in your survey:
Titan Pledge Level
Collector's Bundle
Draco
The Mediceo (if you have an Early Bird pledge, this will be already included in your order)

By selecting all this, you will have a complete collection and you will be ready to fully immerse yourself in the fantastic world of Nova Aetas Renaissance!

Quick notes
 - We noticed some of you chose a normal pledge level, even if it was still possible to choose an Early Bird. We automatically upgraded all those pledges to EB, to reward you with a free copy of The Mediceo.

- Old Black Rose Wars Backers who participated in the Call To Arms: as promised we added $10 to your balance within BackerKit, if you find any discrepancy just contact us.

Wow, a really long update, we hope we made clearer the Pledge Manager phase, especially for backers at their first experience with Kickstarter!
 For any need you can contact us using this link:

That's all for today with a new update and news from the world of NA: R!

A survey is coming!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 12:09:02 AM

Hello Heroes!

A new year has begun and, as promised, the opening of the NA:R Pledge Manager is approaching.

During this phase you will be able to confirm or upgrade your pledge, add items, manage shipping fees and finalize your order.

The Pledge Manager will be launched with a Smoke Test early next week.

As Kickstarter veterans already know, during the smoke test BackerKit will send invitations to 2% of Backers. This will be used to receive first feedback and correct any errors before the actual launch of the Pledge Manager to all Backers.

We will notify you about the start of the Smoke Test with a new update, after which you just have to keep an eye on your email, including Spam Folder!

In the meantime, we ask your help for the creation of the latest details of the Pledge Manager: today you will receive an invitation directly from Kickstarter to participate in a quick survey, your feedback will help us to move better next phases of the project.

The Survey will be absolutely optional, questions will be about language preference, and purchase preferences.

Another question will be about the chance of making some add-ons playable also in Black Rose Wars.

The add-ons eligible are:

1) The Mediceo - If you decide to make it playable also in BRW it will become a new Mage (well, the Mage is actually his little Spriggan friend). 1 new Mage Card and 3 new Personal Spells will be included.

2) The Minotaur - If you decide to make it playable also in BRW it will become a new Evocation, summonable through a new Forgotten Spell. 1 Forgotten spell and 1 Evocation card will be included.

3) Draco - if you decide to make it playable also in BRW, he can be summoned through a new Forgotten Spell and will have his Evocation card.

Please note price for those add-ons will remain the same, even with those new options added.

Waiting for your opinion!

That's it for now, in the next update we will provide you with a Survival guide to the Pledge Manager.

Before saying goodbye we couldn't resist to show you a new miniature, just out from the LMS forge.

Girolamo, the fearsome captain of the Papal Guards, who astride his war steed, he is one of the most beautiful miniatures ever produced by LMS!

Let us know what you think about it!

See you next week!

Christmas in Renaissance!

Hello Heroes!

A quick update before Christmas Holidays!

Here you have some new images, our 3D Artists are continuing to work on the miniatures.

Today we show you the brand new models of Vesuvio and his Cyclops, the huge protagonists of the Vesuvio expansion!

Compared to the original version, we maintained their Peplum style, but with a more actual and captivating look (can we say "sexy"? Well... I don't know if that's the most appropriate term for angry-one eyed-giants!), and we maintained their iconic elements, such as the anvil-hammerhead!

King Vesuvio has also a new version, now his towering figure is decisively spectacular. His hammers are more menacing and they well display the Forge faction symbol. His bionic leg adds to the model an aura of mystery that will lead you to investigate his origin!

We are very happy with the final result, we hope that you too will like these resculpts! Leave us here your feedback :)

Talking about the Pledge Manager, we are working on it and we confirm it will be opened in the second half of January 2021. We plan to engage the community with surveys to have your opinion on some choices, so be ready for it!

That's all for today! Ludus Magnus Studio team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Let's meet here again after the holidays with other news!

Draco!

Hello all adventurers!
After our successful KS campaign, we started to schedule a lineup to carry out the entire project.
In one of our next updates, we will show you a simple scheme to keep you updated on the status of the work.

Soon we will begin an internal playtest phase to integrate the unlocked SGs into the base box.
Many of these SGs have mechanisms that do not change the game mechanics but simply rely on procedures that are already working well, others are new, separate materials that must be explored, such as additional Missions.

The Pledge Manager will be opened in the second half of January 2021, we decided to skip December to avoid overlapping with the Christmas holidays rush, so listen up and keep your eyes peeled for future updates! We are very excited to show you what is in store.

That's all for now, I leave you in the company of our fantastic DinoDraco in its final form!

The legend of the Draco...

"Some symbiont's containment capsules broke in the accident," Alexandra explained to her Captain.
 "Now we've run out of time, the Genesis is sinking and the terraforming has already started. Many of our crew have perished but we don't have time to pray for them." Achab turned around, inspecting the massive containment chamber in the starship, lit by the sparkling light coming from a broken screen.
 "Captain, those symbionts are very precious! They need a host to survive!"

Isaac jumped into the command center.
 "Captain! Cryogenic capsules are loaded into lifeboat stations, most crew members already left the Genesis, ready for the long sleep. I just hope that our repairs will hold."
 Achab snuffed out his Habanero cigar on his metallic arm plate." It's time to leave."

It all started a long time ago, the Genesis was exploring deep space searching for a new planet, for a new home. After years of travel, the starship with its terraforming facility landed on a new living planet.
 The Sine Tempore protagonists are the Nova Aetas forefathers.

Symbionts escaped from those cryogenic capsules and joined alongside to primitive creatures, dinosaurs, evolving them into mythological beasts. Among them the most feared of them all... Dragons!

Some advanced technology pieces of equipment remained until the Nova Aetas age, they are now identified as constructs and powerful magical objects because the privative culture could think of them in no other way.
 Going through the plot book you will discover lots of these elements, moving through the different scenes that you will play and the different characters that you will meet.

The Draco expansion will take you to visit an incredible Italian site: Civita di Bagnoregio.
 Also known as "The dying town," this village stands on an a eroding mountain block, fog often surrounding it, creating a unique landscape.

You will have 3 Missions to play, one of them will be a hunt.
 This expansion will put a strain on your group strength and coordination, but if you manage to get out alive you will be able to receive incredible new weapons. In this monstrous box you will also find a new tile and new tokens.
 Why monstrous? Because the Draco will be huge, the biggest model we have ever produced at LMS. (And we've made some big ones before!)

See you soon for the last campaign update!
