Great First Day - Going LIVE to Talk Imaria Lore!
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 12:40:42 PM

Thank you for an incredible first day!

Now that we've moved onto day 2 of the campaign, this is the final day to pledge and have the Psionic Influence Pin added to your pledge for FREE!

Elder Dragon Dice


We’re also excited to show off the Elder Dragon dice sets that are available in the campaign. These metal dice feature a detailed dragon-scale texture across every face and a dragon eye on each d20.

In the world of Imaria, dragons are ancient forces whose influence helped shape the early history of the realm.

This preview offers a small glimpse into the much larger world of Imaria and some of the ideas that shape the full setting. Inside the preview you'll find:
• A detailed breakdown of Imaria’s Pillars of Power
• The zayan-kuu, one of the new peoples

LIVESTREAM!
We'll be going live on YouTube and right here on our Backerkit page to talk all things Imaria lore and mechanics! Would LOVE for you all to join us with any questions you may have.

More updates and previews coming soon as the campaign continues.
Thank you again for being part of the journey beyond the Veil.

FUNDED! 🎉
3 months ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 09:22:55 AM


Imaria: Beyond the Veil is now fully funded, and we want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has already stepped into the world beyond the Veil with us.

Three New Classes in Imaria
 Imaria also introduces three new classes to expand the possibilities at your table:
  •  The Weavebreaker - charge into battle, wielding the awe-striking power of aioessence 
  •  The Aeonsage -  transform yourself and bend time in subtle but profound ways to protect the Veil from nightmare incursions.
  •  The Psionicist - project your thoughts across reality and manifest standing amalgamations to fight for you.

A Quick Clarification for Original Kickstarter Backers
We’ve seen a few questions from people who supported the original Imaria Kickstarter, so we want to quickly reiterate:
  • This is not a relaunch of the original Kickstarter
  • Original backers do not need to pledge again
  • Your original rewards are unchanged and will still be fulfilled along with rewards from this campaign

This BackerKit campaign gives people who missed the original Kickstarter a final opportunity to access the world of Imaria before the books go to print, while also offering a few additional and optional add-ons for anyone who wants them.

More previews and updates coming soon as the campaign continues.
Thank you again for backing!

The Veil Opens Tomorrow!
3 months ago – Mon, Mar 16, 2026 at 02:59:54 PM

Imaria: Beyond the Veil launches tomorrow at 10 AM EST on BackerKit, and we wanted to highlight one of the early campaign incentives available to backers.

Anyone who pledges within the first hour of the campaign will have the Mana Weaving Pin added to their pledge for free!

The Power of Mana in Imaria
The Mana Weaving Pin represents one of the fundamental forces that shapes the world of Imaria.
Magic has played a central role in shaping Imaria. It has influenced not only the course of history and the geographical landscape, but also the very essence of its peoples, like the zayan-kuu, who wield strange powers and hold secrets hidden in the depths of their lineage.

The skytouched are arcane incarnate, born directly of magic. Born from mystical mana, the anthropomorphic niimals are a blend of humanoid and beast, ranging from the tiny leporine to the towering ursine.


The Veil opens tomorrow!
Be ready at 10 AM EST if you want the Mana Weaving Pin added to your pledge.

A First Look at the World of Imaria 🌎
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 11, 2026 at 11:01:15 AM

With the launch of Imaria: Beyond the Veil getting closer, we wanted to share something with everyone following the project.

If you follow the campaign on BackerKit, you’ll receive the Imaria World Primer - a free preview that offers a glimpse into the setting before the campaign launches.
This primer introduces some of the core ideas behind the world of Imaria, including the forces that shape it and the kinds of stories you can tell within it.

Inside the primer, you’ll get an early look at:
  • The world of Imaria, a realm shaped by powerful magical forces and ancient history
  • The Veil, a mysterious temporal barrier that isolates the world from extraplanar influence
  • The Four Pillars of Power that define magic and conflict in the setting:
    • Mana Weaving
    • Anti-Magic
    • Psionics
    • Ethereal Chronomancy
    • The tone and themes of the setting, where power carries consequences and civilizations rise and fall around it

Imaria is a setting built for long-form play, combining deep lore with new character options, new powers, and adventures that span levels 1-16.

The primer is a great way to start exploring the world before launch.

Ed Greenwood on the World of Imaria
Ed had the chance to adventure in the setting and even contribute to its lore. After exploring the world beyond the Veil, he shared a few thoughts about what makes the setting stand out.

Follow the project on BackerKit, and the Imaria World Primer will be delivered directly to you.

More previews soon.
