Secret World Legends Tabletop Roleplaying Game Kickstarter - North America Edition

The second Secret World Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) book using the Secret World IP as licensed by Star Anvil Studios is in development for both Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition (D&D5E) and Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE)! The second book, "The Secret World - North America" focuses on the North American continent and the Illuminati and their New World Order, bringing archetypes, locations, and monsters to the TTRPG that were not included in the Core source book.

The Kickstarter campaign for "The Secret World - North America" TTRPG book launches on 28 January 2025 at 01:00:00 PM EST (18:00:00 UTC).

The Secret World - North America is a sourcebook for the Secret World RPG. Within these pages, you'll find the continent's conspiracies and horrors, as well as the innerworkings of the Illuminati, who have claimed the region as its headquarters.

Set in an alternate and divergent non-canon timeline in the relative near-future after the events of Secret World Legends, this unofficial licensed TTRPG aims to give Star Anvil Studios' own spin to to the setting. For those worried what this might mean about continued development of Secret World Legends, have no fear, because Funcom is still continuing to develop Secret World Legends and further the main canon storyline at their own pace.

The Kickstarter campaign states that the North America sourcebook for the TTRPG will focus heavily on the Illuminati and their North American territory and will introduce to the Secret World TTRPG new monsters, locations, and archetypes/classes. Some monsters will be those from Secret World Legends that were not available in the Core Secret World TTRPG book, such as Succubi and the Sasquatch, while others are not present in-game, such as the Jersey Devil. Skinwalkers are also mentioned, and we hope that Star Anvil Studios has consulted with the Navajo on the subject. New cities teased include Mexico City, Vancouver, and the dreaded Tampa of legend. Be wary of Florida Man. New archetypes for the TTRPG include a "Mystic", a "Boston Witch" and an Illuminati Operative.

In addition, there will be a few new products alongside the book: a new map pack, a new set of figure flats, a mission pack of small mini-adventures, a full-sized adventure, new pregens for the added archetypes, and a set of monster cards with new cards for all monsters added to the TTRPG.

Kickstarter reward fulfillment will utilize "DriveThruRPG" for all PDFs. Any pledge promising a PDF copy will additionally provide a code to use DriveThruRPG's Print On Demand feature to print the book at-cost, meaning that you will have to pay the cost of printing and shipping to receive it should you desire a physical copy! You will be able to select whether you want the 5E or SWADE version at the end of the Kickstarter campaign.

There are multiple tiers of Kickstarter pledges available, with the 30 USD "Bee" pledge being the lowest to include a PDF of the North America book. The 80 USD "Faction Leader" pledge contains all new additional products. The 150 USD "Gaia's Favored" pledge however contains all new content for the Secret World TTRPG alongside all past content for the Secret World TTRPG, core source book included. There is also the 150 USD "Both Systems" Pledge containing only the new products and book but in BOTH TTRPG systems, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition and Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. All pledges from "Bee" onward also get your name in the book!

There are also two different limited pledges that both include everything from the "Faction Leader" pledge: The first is the "Mission #1" pledge for 200 USD, which includes being able to play an online session of the Savage Worlds edition run by Joshua Alan Doetsch - the lead writer of Secret World Legends: Scrivnomancer! The second is the "Illuminati Visions" pledge, which include art of your character as drawn by Star Anvil Studios' artists included in the back of the book! Each "Mission" limited pledge has 5 slots and each "Illuminati Visions" pledge has 10 slots. The first "Illuminati Visions" was grabbed swiftly by a few Secret Worlders, and a second slot of 10 was then opened as the limited "Illuminati Visions #2" pledge! Which Secret Worlders will we spy in the back of the book this time, sweetlings?
