1. Back to Barovia - the Stonegarden!

How to escape heat, drought and the accompanying existential dread? Let the mists claim you once more and head to a well-known and well-loved demi plane of vampiric dread! As some of you may tell from some unlit and un-particle effect-ed WIP shots, our next release allows you to run the amazing Stonegarden oneshot  devised by u/TrustyPeaches on reddit with full Beneos Support. You can place this mini-adventure anywhere you fancy and give your players a hearty spook.

Also: Sunflowers! 

Barovia could be so beautiful.

We're looking forward to revisit Barovia once more!

2. Has technology gone too far?

The last release was hard to miss, what with horns blaring and rotors roaring - the Storm's Cry has arrived! 

We're all pretty hyped about this release, so this week's release over at Beneos Tokens is directly linked to this flying behemoth - enter the Airship Sentry Automaton!

Automated sentries were first utilized during a great exhibition showcasing different proofs of concept concerning the development of techno-arcane automata. These prototypes were expanded upon by military  scientists and now serve as sentries and boarding repellents on various  airships throughout the realms. Their armaments consist of heavy boarding axes, short-ranged ocular beams and advanced kinetic shielding, all powered by a miniature techno-arcane reactor. These sentries are able to activate a magnetic field, allowing them to safely battle any  threats while being mag-locked to an airship's metal hull. Gunner variants are also known to operate the heavy Thunderstrike Pattern Airship Cannons utilized by great military airships, such as the Dawn Emperor and Storm Herald class.

Aren't they cute? Feel free to head over to Beneos Tokens to download some free stuff and hire an unfliching crew of inexorable arcane Automata to keep your cannons manned and your precious reactor running!

You can download the stats and a tactics guide on how to efficiently run the monster as a free PDF over at Beneos Tokens!

3. Vigil's End Update

Speaking of both tokens and hype, we're rapidly advancing with our development of our first all-encompassing standalone adventure, Vigil's End. 

This will be a fully mapped out dungeon to explore, including:

- gorgeous scenery shots,
- an original soundtrack,
- animated sequences,
- voice acting,
- animated tokens and the accompanying stats,

and a fully written one-shot, incorporating all of the above, enabling your players to explore the fate of this once respectable order and confronting its eventual doom.

Of course we have not forgotten about our promise - everyone who subscribed to Foundry Tier before the 15th of July will receive it for free!

4. Poll - On which continent are you located?

We are currently on the lookout for a new hosting service, because some Patreons had problems with Google Drive messing up downloads, leaving them incomplete. That's are annoying and we're all about everything working as seemlessly as possible. So, to gauge the best service for our needs, we'd like to know on which continent you're located! 

QUESTION: ON WHICH CONTINENT ARE YOU LOCATED?

Thanks for dropping by and see you next week!
