Hauthell 03 - The Taxman

The mill brought gold... but was it worth it?

Today we return to Hauthell! Another 12 years have passed, and so much has changed. The town's footprint has expanded, the Hauthrets built a mill, and the state decided to station a customs checkpoint right along the thoroughfare. Time waits for no man!

This is the third of at least three Hauthell releases. We're alrea...

An entire nation squeezed onto an island of neon-bathed stone towers

Breathe deep the curious fumes and attune to the thrum of spark vials. A corporate executive rides his fliplifts up to an elite Demlin clubhouse above the haze of industrial pollution. A blue-skinned dockie injects a bloated fish with nutritio...

Borough Request Poll | Summer 2024

It is time yet again for LIMINA to seek out new partner realms to explore. While we are still investigating the nefarious activities of the Pelgrut Pack and their various Hideaways, we will soon begin exploration of distant boroughs elsewhere.

Hauthell 02 - The Road Comes

Change is unavoidable

Greetings all, and welcome back to Hauthell! The scene from the preview image might look rather familiar; this is (in fact!) the same stretch of land we illustrated in Hauthell 01, though six years have done much to reshape the quaint hamlet. Part two of our Hauthell setting progresses the story, alters the map, and introduces new narrative wrinkles into the quintessential starter town. Let's take a look!

Poll: Do you want more LIMINARC content?

Hi all! We're planning our release schedule for the next few months. Now that we've released LIMINARC 05, we're debating whether to continue making more and more LIMINARC content. Instead of deciding amongst ourselves, we figured we'd ask you to share your thoughts.

Broadly, the options are:
