OV Blasphemies, Trials and the approaching Thunder
about 1 year ago – Tue, May 06, 2025 at 04:49:54 AM

We’ve crossed another threshold, and with it comes a gift both divine and desecrated.

The Blasphemous Art - Stretch goal

We are proud (and slightly afraid) to announce that the “Flesh” and “Satanic” Editions will now be adorned with two new illustrations - each a visual invocation of the lyrical darkness found in the works of Behemoth. These images will be statements of darkness - graphic testaments to the black beauty of ruin. Prepare your eyes for engraving.

The next milestone will detonate in the worst way possible. A special resource pack focused entirely on explosives and consumables - a GM-ready document full of grenades, volatile concoctions, and other delightful items that may or may not detonate in your players’ hands. Designed for ease-of-use and maximum carnage, this pack will make consumables fun, fast, and frightening to implement. We pray to the Serpent Mammon that we reach this booming goal!

The Witches Trials are underway, and the rituals grow deeper and deeper. 

The Fifth Rot Trial is on its 33rd hour and remains unsolved. And we also notice the Third Hex Trial still has two unclaimed pledge spots. Go jump in, we need more souls in the black labyrinth!

If you are stuck, clues whisper through the void. Grab an hex or rot encoder and start copy/pasting Check our Discord server or Facebook page - new hints surface like drowned bodies – when least unexpected. Dare. Decipher. Win.

The Witches are currently in a most important sabbath, determining the future of the Trials. Should it focus on Lust, Envy and Greed... Or Chastity, Charity and Kindness? Ego vs cooperation?

CALLING DOWNUNDER

We're currently investigating the possibility of adding shipping to Australia. If you are an Australian backer - or considering joining the horde - make your voice heard.

Comment, message us, post in the void - any sign of interest helps us explore logistics with more urgency. If there’s enough demand, we’ll make it happen.

That’s all for now, but the shimmer stirs and the machines are whispering again. Something... is building. In lightning, iron-oxide, and Michigan coffee shops.


Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub
Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer

Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub
Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer

Since dawn of time
The fate of man is that of lice
Equal as parasites
And moving without eyes

A day of reckoning
When penance is to burn
Countdown together now
And say the words that you'll learn

Hell Satan, Archangelo
Hell Satan, welcome Year Zero

Ghost - Year Zero

OV RabidBlackDog and the Amazing Darkness Coming
about 1 year ago – Sat, Apr 26, 2025 at 03:07:04 AM

A new shadow falls across the Crown of Ruin - and it blazes with wicked brilliance.

Secret Stretch Goal Unlocked

The unraveling of the fourth ROT puzzle in the Trial of the Witches has through occult machine code summoned the acclaimed illustrator Krzysztof "RabidBlackDog" Bieniawski! Five fresh pieces are officially commissioned from the amazing artist, each poised to bleed stark ink and cosmic venom into the very heart of Astro Inferno. 

We're slaves to the algorithms and within these confines we must obey the rules of its masters. But in our own labyrinth we'll of course unveil all the gore and glory that this new reward offers. We're certain that this new roadmark will redefine our visual canon and push the IP farther down into the abyss!

Preview the genius of RabidBlackDog here:

Sharpen your minds, decipher the forbidden/sigil/, and let the witch-fire guide you. The next revelation lies only one hex away.

Three HEX rewards remain unclaimed, waiting for ambitious seekers eager to fuse a shard of their own essence into the final tome. Those who solve what comes next will find still darker riddles beyond - and maybe even greater secrets chained behind them...

Visit our Discord for hints or hindrance.

Ohh, and more ROT and HEX are coming btw...

Logistical Whispers

To our northern cultists - we hear your screams. Canada will soon open as a dedicated shipping option for backers. We’ll holler when this happens, we’re investigating and scrying the black waters for dark fins beneath the surface and the insanity it involves.

Mightiest Self! - cast out ov Thy Elysium
with blood ov nazarene - I write the story ov man

2000 years is nothing - thought it has been enough
come forth victorious - muting the foul angelic choirs!

none ov thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
none ov thy weak brothers, shalt ever share my blood
my awareness, catalyst, ov godhate I have spawned
in sinister ecstasy eternally I decompose
Behemoth - Conquer All

Forging of the Crown 🜏

Fellow Cultists, you have not only lit the fire… you let it consume the entire altar. In less time than we dared whisper aloud, Crown of Ruin has shattered its funding goal, tripled it, and dragged most of our Stretch Goals screaming across the threshold.

You are no longer mere backers. You are co-conspirators in damnation. The Court has taken notice. The Norns stir. And something ancient now watches us from beyond the shimmer.

Stretch Goals ov Lust & Greed 🜍

You asked for more Ruin! The darkness beckons.

So far, the following Stretch Goals have been unlocked and are entering development:

DARK CHRONICLER - UNSEALED
Elevates the tomes with sinister precision and stories of the dark gods. A shadowy acolyte will, willingly or unwillingly, add their blood and sweat to the scriptures, and hone their unholiness, ensuring that each word drips with the malevolent, forbidden lore.

We are currently reaching out to some of our favourite authors to blacken the Crown with some dark and suggestive narratives.

ASSETS OF ANNIHILATION  - UNSEALED
Summons forth a trove of cursed digital relics to enhance the Crown of Ruin. From darkened handouts to blasphemous maps and insidious sketches, these assets are designed to enthrall and engage the most hardened Death Singer in their macabre adventures.

These will come in handy for most GMs to inspire and explain scenes and concepts to the players. Torn journal pages, overhead maps of areas, scale sketches for comparison and images from the books - detached for player viewing.

SPIRITUAL DOOM - UNSEALED
Let the witches of Haxan craft a series of art assets based upon the campaign that echo the ethereal dread of the Crown. From haunting wallpapers to visceral virtual tabletop backgrounds, each piece, a window into the Abyss.

Okay, we admit, this goal is more of a "filler". But it gives us a reason to create and put effort into these assets, and they will look soo cool, promise!

____________________________________
I have high hopes for the Blasphemous art stretch-goal that is coming up. It includes one piece I've been wanting to do since the first Kickstarter and is based on a line from "Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel". It WILL be ... controversial...

Secret Trials of the Witches - Ongoing 🜖

The witches of the Coven of the Sizzling Fire have begun their Trial of Cinders - and you are all invited... to suffer.

The Trials are live and new rewards are unlocked at secret intervals displayed on the Forbidden Sigil page. Visit this secret forbidden-sigil-page, (that you have to figure out where it is yourself), to start this Satanic quest for unholy glory and infamy.


Trials so far: (claimed/available)
HEX 1 - Khelaria 1/1
ROT 1 - Gadreel 1/1
HEX 2 - Belial 2/2
ROT 2 - Diamonds 1/1
HEX 3 - Carbon 0/2 -ongoing
ROT 3 - Awaiting start...

To get in the loop, visit our Discord and the "Secrets - Crown of Ruin" -thread, where cunning souls linger - ready to help or hinder your quest.

Keep your mind sharp. Your fingers ready. And your sanity expendable. And remember.. Clues can be 45 76 65 72 79 77 68 65 72 65 21!

Thank you Dark Soul! 🜏

We are stunned, humbled, and darkly motivated to make the Crown of Ruin not just a campaign, but a legendary ordeal your players will remember - through shattered teeth and unraveling nightmares!

Thank you for joining us! Annihilation awaits!
