Latest Updates from Our Project:

P2E Kingmaker Alchemy Enhanced Edition ($500k)
Hey Backers,
Over the last two weeks it’s been incredibly exciting to see so many new folks learn about Alchemy. We’ve truly loved getting to know all of you who have joined our Discord or emailed us. I know every creator says this, but we’ve been truly taken back at the response to our Version One campaign. At this point, all we want to do is spin up as many stretch goals as we can to create next-level integrations with our partner titles and ensure your day one experience with Alchemy is packed to the gills with a collection of the most immersive content from your favorite creators.
And we’ve got two big ones to share with you today…
At the big $500k milestone, we’re bringing the legendary Pathfinder 2E adventure path, Kingmaker, to Alchemy and we’re giving it an Enhanced edition treatment.
About Kingmaker
The Kingmaker Adventure Path takes the heroes from encounters with mysterious bandit lords and barbaric raiders through the trials and tribulations of developing and defending their new settlement in the notoriously lawless River Kingdoms. Yet when war comes to the Stolen Lands in earnest, it's up the heroes to take up a mystical blade and stand tall against the horrors of man, beast, and strange creatures more dangerous than either…
Fallout The Roleplaying Game Alchemy Enhanced Upgrade ($450k)
But before we get to Kingmaker, just around the corner at $450k, we’re upgrading Fallout: The Roleplaying Game with an Alchemy Enhanced treatment. That means if you’re planning to pick up the Futures Content Deck, you’ll not only get Coriolis Enhanced, you’ll also get Fallout Enhanced. That means that in addition to a bespoke UI, you’ll also get an awesome suite of original music, sound, and motion assets, perfectly themed for the Fallout setting. We’re so stoked to build these.
About Fallout The Roleplaying Game
How will you re-shape the world? Will you join with a plucky band of survivors to fight off all comers and carve out your own settlement? Will you team up with pre-existing factions like the Brotherhood of Steel or Super Mutants to enforce your own ideals on the wasteland? Ghoul or robot, paladin or raider, it’s your choice - and the consequences are yours.
Lastly, don’t forget to check out The Wildsea: Storm and Root, now in their final 36 hour stretch on Kickstarter. If you’re planning to grab the Futures Content Deck (with Fallout) you’re also going to be getting the Wildsea Core Rules as well. This incredible setting by Mythworks is a must-see, and their new expansion, Storm and Root, was an instant back for us.
About Storm & Root
The Wildsea is a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-6 players inspired by stories like Sunless Sea, Bastion, and the Bas-Lag Trilogy. Set in a world overrun by greenery, Wildsea uses a narrative, fiction-first d6 dicepool system that draws inspiration from games like Belly of the Beast, Blades in the Dark, and 13th Age.
We hope you’re just as excited as we are for these new stretch goals. Please let us know what you think in the comments and which titles you’d like to see us bring to Alchemy next.
Cheers!
Chris
Stretch Goals, Homebrew, Add-ons, and Early Access!
over 1 year ago
– Sat, May 06, 2023 at 09:17:45 PM
Hey Backers,
It’s been a wild couple of weeks! We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, but most of all we’ve been blown away by how stoked everyone is for what we’re building. There’s absolutely no greater feeling and motivator than that as a developer, so from the bottom our hearts, thank you!
Let’s dive into the updates:
Stretch Goal Status
Next Stretch Goal: VTM Enhanced Upgrade
We’re so close to unlocking our next stretch goal, which is the Alchemy Enhanced upgrade for Vampire: The Masquerade. What does that mean? Well, for those of you who choose the MODERN content deck, instead of just getting the VTM Core Rulebook, you’ll also get 10 minutes of original music, 10 ambient soundscapes, 10 motion overlays, an animated title screen, and a bespoke UI.
We’re so excited to work with the folks at the World of Darkness to bring a unique, vibey integration for this classic roleplaying game to Alchemy.
Stay tuned for more Alchemy Enhanced upgrades and let us know in the comments which titles you’d like to see us "enhance" next!
This morning I sat down with everyone’s favorite TTRPG correspondent, Ted Sikora from Nerd Immersion, to talk in depth about the campaign. I also show off a prototype version of three of the content decks and reveal an upcoming surprise stretch goal – because let’s be honest; I suck at keeping secrets!
Make sure to show Ted some love and do all the things: like, subscribe, follow, etc. He’s the real deal and deserves your attention!
Alchemy Enhanced & Homebrew
So, we all know by now that Alchemy Enhanced titles come with a bunch of extra multimedia assets, right? Music, ambient sound, motion overlays, etc. Well, one clarification I wanted to make is that all of those assets will be able to be disentangled from their respective titles and used in whatever capacity you want.
For example, if you get the Backer Box, you’re getting 12 (so far) Alchemy Enhanced titles, which also means you’re getting 2 hours of original music, 120 ambient soundscapes, and 120 motion overlays. Mix these assets with the music you’re getting from Music d20, scenes from James’ RPG Art, and maps from CZEPEKU and you’ve got quite a homebrew cocktail on your hands. Just sayin'.
Content Deck Value
We’ve been fielding quite a few questions here on Kickstarter and on our Discord server about what titles people are actually getting in the content decks. Sure, you're getting Scarlet Citadel, but what is it and what game system does it run on? Can I buy it on the Alchemy Marketplace after the campaign? How much am I really saving by getting it on Kickstarter now?
These are all great questions! Which is why we’ve made these handy little breakdowns for each of the content decks and updated the Story page. Check them out when you get a chance, but here’s a look at the Fantasy deck breakdown:
Content Deck Value Breakdown
Yeah, We have Add-Ons!
We’ve also updated the Kickstarter page with a bit more information on the add-ons being offered on the campaign (sorry we didn’t do this sooner). So, with each content deck, you’re getting a super rad Alchemy Enhanced Core Rulebook (or equivalent for the system) from our friends at Free League Publishing. But what if you want to get the complete Coriolis collection? Well, in the Add-Ons you can – and you’ll get a pretty sweet discount too.
Ruins of Symbaroum, Twilight 2000, Vaesen, Forbidden Lands, Mutant Year Zero, Tales From the Loop, and Coriolis are all available as complete-your-collection add-ons at 30% off the retail price. If you want to start your Alchemy experience with some serious content at an insane price; peep those add-ons!

Founder Livestream + Stretch Goals Unlocked!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Apr 28, 2023 at 09:51:34 PM
Hey Backers,
Chris here with another quick update!
First off, this morning Isaac and I recorded a livestream where we shared our thoughts on the campaign, our development roadmap, and answered a whole bunch of pre-submitted and live questions. If you’re interested in taking a look, you can watch it here:
We go a little long, but you can use the chapters in the description to jump to the content that’s most interesting to you.
New Stretch Goals
Next up, we’re stoked to let you know that we’ve unlocked TWO new stretch goals since our last update. Twilight: 2000 and DEGENESIS will be coming to Alchemy Version One and will both be getting an Alchemy Enhanced treatment. So far, backing at the $50 tier and higher will get you over $150 in Alchemy Enhanced titles with your pledge.
Our next goal unlocks at $350k: The Call of Cthulhu Starter Set, available in the Horror Content Deck, gets an Alchemy Enhanced upgrade. That means ten minutes of original music, ten ambiences, ten motion overlays, an animated cover screen, and a custom themed UI. The next stretch goal will be another exciting Enhanced upgrade.
What do you think it is?
Big thanks to everyone for an exciting 72 hours. We’re so stoked to get V1 (and these titles) in your hands.
Cheers,
Chris
Funded! + Burning Questions and Stretch Goals
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 01:29:04 AM
Hey Everyone,
I’m Chris, co-founder and designer of the Alchemy platform. First and foremost, thank you so much for helping us reach our funding goal in just three minutes! We truly didn’t expect this kind of a response, and it’s been incredibly humbling to experience your excitement over something we’ve worked so hard on for the past few years. – Again, thank you so much.
We’ve been answering many questions throughout the day here on Kickstarter and on our Discord server (huge shout out to our mods for being amazing…). First, I wanted to point you toward our FAQ section but also take some time to answer the most recurring questions we received today:
Q: Can I opt out of receiving physical rewards and just get the redemption codes for the titles?
A: Yes, totally! We’ll have an eco-friendly option available in the pledge manager that will allow you to do exactly this. If you opt out of receiving physical rewards, you will not be charged for shipping or experience any delays in receiving your content.
Q: Okay, then why are you offering physical cards at all?
A: The short (and honest) answer is because we think they’re cool! At Alchemy, we’re all big collectors, and as much as we love playing TTRPGs online, we also collect beautiful artifacts for the games we love to display on our shelves. Books, dice, minis, you name it. We wanted to commemorate our Version One launch with something that felt rad to hold in your hand and shined a spotlight on the many incredible creators with whom we’ve had the pleasure to partner.
These also aren’t the first cards we’ve made, and they won’t be the last! The first card in this collection will continue the count at #16.
Q: What is Alchemy Unlimited?
A: Nobody wants another subscription; we totally get that. But for those that want to help support the full-time development of our platform, there’s Alchemy Unlimited. At a baseline, Alchemy is completely free, and it always will be. We’re proud that we don’t gate our best features or limit your upload storage behind a set of confusing subscription tiers. You can create three games, three characters, and one content Universe with a free account. If you want to create more than that, you can remove unused content and start new, or subscribe ($8 /mo or $88 /yr) and create an unlimited amount of games, characters, and Universes.
If you have more questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected], leave a comment, or the fastest way to get an answer to your question, is to join our Discord.
Okay, let's talk about Stretch Goals!
First off, we’re sorry we weren’t super clear today about 1) what our stretch goals are and 2) who gets what. We’ve got that pretty well situated on the story page now, but here are the details.
Every pledge at the Content Deck and above will include all the stretch goals. The cool thing is we’ve already unlocked three of them!
Unlocked stretch goals so far.
Forbidden Lands, Mutant Year Zero, and Ruins of Symbaroum – all amplified with Alchemy Enhanced. If you backed at the $50 tier or higher, you will be getting these three cards (and codes) included with your rewards, each redeemable for the Enhanced title on Alchemy.
The next goal is at $250k and unlocks Twilight 2000k!
Again, thank you so much for the incredible outpouring of support over the last 12 hours. We’re so excited to build these Enhanced experiences and can’t wait to show you the progress we’ve already made. Thanks again for being on this journey with us.
