Arcknight
Arcknight is an American small game company out of Orange County, California, United States, that focuses on Tabletop Roleplaying, Card and Dice games, and Game Maps. The company designs, publishes and produces their own products. Arcknight first started with their comprehensive Arcknight Tabletop Roleplaying game in 2005, but the product was such a large undertaking that they placed the game on hold, and began developing spin-offs and other related products. Arcknight's first commercial release was a kickstarter campaign released in July, 2013 called "Roleplaying Maps by Arcknight"[1] which was successfully backed in under 24 hours. Funded by the success of their map project, Arcknight began development of their second commercial title: Dungeon Rumble.
Virtual tabletop tokens[edit]
In May 2014 the company launched a line of Virtual Tabletop Tokens through kickstarter - boasting over 100 heroes, monsters, horses and other tokens, along with a slew of simple NPC tokens to use in online Virtual Tabletop programs like Roll20 and FantasyGrounds. The kickstarter was successful in less than 48 hours.
Roleplaying maps by Arcknight[edit]
Arcknight launched a small kickstarter to fund their line of generic roleplaying maps in July 2013. It was well received and was funded in less than 24 hours. 44 maps were initially announced, many of which had alternate B-sides, that were alterations or different versions of the maps. Through stretch goals, a total of 116 maps, double sided on 58 pages were eventually announced.
Arcknight Dungeon Rumble[edit]
Self-described as a Tactics/Dungeon Crawl hybrid, dungeon rumble is a boardgame with many traditional RPG elements. DR takes ground rules of the Arcknight Tabletop Roleplaying game and hacks them down to create a faster experience dedicated specifically to dungeon crawling, with a heavy tactics feel, high difficulty, and co-operative play. It comes with a linear dungeon presented in comic book format, and all abilities and monsters are on cards for quick reference. The game runs 'GM-less' and players distribute the monsters among themselves and run them according to a script written on their cards. Dungeon Rumble attempts to appeal to players who want a deep and challenging dungeon crawl experience, in a game system built specifically for that purpose.
Arcknight tabletop roleplaying[edit]
Arcknight Tabletop Roleplaying Game (also known as Joshua Wardrop's Arcknight, JWAK, or AKTT) is a medieval fantasy role-playing game (RPG) created by Joshua Wardrop. It has been in development since 2005. The roleplaying game has been redesigned and improved several times. Development has been slow since the company's focus changed to develop Dungeon Rumble. Arcknight Tabletop Roleplaying is a traditional pen, paper and dice game and is one of several different games in the Arcknight universe (and under the same company name) that share various characters, abilities and settings in different genres.
Arcknight Tabletop Roleplaying is the company's lead project. It differs from many role-playing games by having players create their characters in pieces, rather than by choosing pre-built character classes. Templates define specific subsets with various abilities that may be purchased. By combining templates in unique ways, players may create the character concept they choose.
