Meet Those Joining Adventures & Academia This December!

November 18, 2021 by fcostin

It is no secret that I have been excited about the recently announced Kickstarter from Steamforged Games. Taking players back to school and 5e compatible - Adventures & Academia: First Class is gearing up for launch.

Adventures & Academia // Steamforged Games

We may have seen the school and the ethics in which they support, the houses in which players belong to. But now we are starting to see some students raise their heads before being enrolled into their new magical adventure.

This school is not like Hogwarts! This particular establishment of learning is home to others than just humans. Steamforged Games have been announcing different characters who will be lurking the long and mystical halls of the school - and my word they are adorable.

Barnaby Talonn Wizard Student // Adventures & Academia

Approaching the gates of the Grand Academy and joining the Kickstarter is Barnaby Talonn, Wizard Student. Originally from a treetop community - this little owl has been quite the hoot to have around! Being pitched as the "Poster Child for House Arcane", home to Wizards and Spellcasters - this wise character has buried their head in books, spells, scrolls - you name it! As the thirst for knowledge calls - she is keen on learning it all!

Rahiga - Druid Student // Adventures & Academia

House Divine is home to the likes of Druids, Paladins and Clerics, home to the new face of all things divine - Rahiga. Centred in nature - they take pride in the life, death and full circle of any living creature. A keen listener to all things - whether it be a conversation or the sound of the wind against the leaves - this Druid is certainly going to be one to get in a ton of trouble.

With new students heading into the school as pre-generated characters, players can enter the new world of Adventures & Academia as one who exists in the game world, or one that is being designed by the player. Although Barnaby and Rahiga are great, wouldn't you like to troll the hallways as an arrogant little Owlfolk?

The Kickstarter is set to launch on November 30th, so be sure to check out the page here to get notified of the campaign.

Will you be attending the opening of the Grand Academy?
