Latest Updates from Our Project:
Airship Campaigns Fulfillment Schedule & Arcane Minis Update!
about 2 years ago
– Wed, Sep 28, 2022 at 01:23:05 AM
Hello there, everyone!
As promised, here is an update on the manufacturing! Hope everyone has been keeping well and staying healthy! Have a HUGE update on all things Arcane Minis today! Airship Campaigns relevant material is at the top and then all other Arcane Minis stuff comes after!
It's almost here... The wait is almost over!
When will manufacturing finish?
So we have been in manufacturing for about a month now. The factory tells me the product will be finished by the end of October / early November some time.
What'safter manufacturing?
After we finish manufacturing, we will be shipping to the US for distribution to the end users (you!). I have a call with our freight shipping provider tomorrow to hammer out some additional details and then we will know more from there (it all depends on when the manufacturing is done). It is likely the freight will take 4-8 weeks to ship. But again, I will know more when it gets closer to the date!
FulfillmentTimeline& Schedule
Manufacturing Complete - Late October / Early November (SHIPPING ADDRESSES WILL BE LOCKED SOON AFTER THIS)
Shipping Arrival (US) - Mid December - Mid January
Fulfillment to backer - Starting Mid Devember - Mid January!
Please note that this stuff is subject to change, but I will let you all know!
The map tiles also came out beautifully. Their Dry Erase is absolutely perfect and you can feel the quality in this project. The delays and uprades in quality were worth it! If you missed the map tiles, but want to get them, we will be selling the excess stock on our online-store when it comes in. Airship Campaign backers will get a discount code to get them for a good deal!
So that's all on the fulfillment front for now! I will update you all again at the end of next month!
At this point, everything else is non-Airship Campaigns related. If all you care about is the Airship Campaigns updates, you may check out now. But if you want to see all of the awesomely awesome new stuff we have been working on and are releasing, please continue further!
What else is new with Arcane Minis?
Our 4th Patreon release is coming up - Legends of Dreadmire. On our Patreon we make awesome frequent content including one-shot 5e adventures, maps, STLs, soundtracks, MMF discounts and beautiful new art! Releasing tomorrow on September 28th!
A tribe of axolians deep within the swamp has called for aid, seeking any brave enough to defeat the fabled creatures that dwell within their lands...

We finally have got around to getting some merch for you all to help support Arcane Minis more if you so desire to rep our awesome art on your body or your walls! We will have all sorts of things from posters and mouse pads to hoodies and t-shirts. We will start off with a selection of a few things and grow the offers based on what people like and what they may want to see!

Manufacturing & Shipping Dates
Hey everyone. I hope you're all having a great August! I have some information on shipping dates for you all! We are currently in manufacturing!
Manufacturing Dates
The product will be completed and ready for frieghtshipping from China in the middle of October this year! I have been speaking with our shipping agent working that out as well. We will be shipping through the West Coast of the US before shipping our from our distribution centre!
Shipping Dates
As you are all aware, the state of the world's shipping and such is kind of all up in the air right now and we will not really know shipping times until we get closer to the date of manufacturing completion, but I think it will be around 4-8 weeks for shipping from the middle of October. With luck, you should all have your books and map tiles in your hands by the end of 2022 / early 2023!
I will continue to keep you all as updated as I can in regards to time scales and shipping dates!
Immensely thankful for your patience getting this product finished and out to you all. I'm so excited to see you all with it in your hands!!
Please consider joining us on Discord, Facebook or our new Tribes or Patreon to keep in touch with what we are doing recently as a company!

Good Monday to you all!
It's official we are now ready for manufacturing. As of last week the manufacturer is now dealing internally to prep everything for printing! We are finally there. As soon as the manufacturer comes back to me with times and estimates this week, I will be starting to work out final details with the shipping companies to see how we will progress schedule wise!
Thanks for your patience everyone! Expect another update for manufacturing dates when I have nailed down more of the details!
3rd Adventure Released - The Lost Fleet
The final Stretch Goal PDF adventure with accompanying maps and STLs has been released! You can grab it here!
In this adventure, the characters uncover a new uncharted jetstream in Sordane, and in the process discover the fate of the fabled Lost Fleet.
The characters face the dangers of a strange island and must race to save the marooned fleets’ descendants from the terrors of a massive creature prowling the mysterious island.
Riches, mystery, history, and more await in this adventure, taking characters into new and uncharted lands in Sordane!
That's it for the Airship Campaigns updates. Please make sure to check in on the Progress Tracker to find links for everything and all of the finished items we have done for Airship Campaigns
After this is all of our new projects including our new Tribes and our relaunch of Patreon! Please ignore after this point if you have no interest in further projects from Arcane Minis!
As many of you are aware, we have been working on launching our Tribes on MyMiniFactory where we will be doing a ship every month. We have spent over 2 years designing and perfecting large printable airships for 5e D&D and RPGs. We are now applying our knowledge of creating nearly 20 full sized airship to creating a new one once per month with multiple versions for different sizes of printers, lore, stats, art and even Foundry VTT Packs. If you're interested in awesome ships, please check it out! :)
Note, this is now where our Merchant memberships are being sold. If you have interest in being a merchant by selling physical prints of our miniatures, this is where you will do it =)
Patreon Relaunched
As mentioned in previous posts, we have relaunched our Patreon and the response has been fantastic! You have about 1 week to get in on the first release before the next one is out!
That's all for now everyone! If you made it to the end of the post, I just want to thank you all again for supporting Arcane Minis through Airship Campaigns. I know it has been such a long long journey to get to a point where we are ready to go to print but we are FINALLY getting there. What a long, stressful adventure it has been. Ultimately, we love what we do and we really hope, and feel sure, that you will all love the final product when it is delivered!

Stretch Goal PDF Adventures 1 and 2 Released!
about 2 years ago
– Tue, Jul 26, 2022 at 05:51:25 AM
Happy Monday!
Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Will have more information on manufacturing for you later today or tomorrow. Our contact at the manufacturer is on holiday today so she may get back to us about our two final files needing approval, she may not until tomorrow! =)
Stretch Goal PDF Adventures 1 and 2 Released
The big news for today is that we are releasing 2 of our 3 stretch goal PDF adventures. I am so very sorry for the delay in getting these to you. They ended up being both bigger than we expected and much longer to format and get ready due to some internal turnover with our graphic designers. All-in all, much delayed, but finally here!
NewPatreon Project(Frequent content!)
A quick plug for our Patreon relaunch (more info at the bottom of this post). We are relaunching our Patreon today with the adventure "Fool's Crystal" Please check out the bottom of the page for more info.
Difference between the Airship Campaign adventures and the Patreon Sordane Stories adventures?
These adventures are the beginnings on our Sordane Stories revamp on Patreon. They are a bit different from the content you will see in Sordane Stories. These are longer adventures and what we used to really grind our teeth on to hammer out, change and keep coming up with new stuff we wanted to try. Sordane Stories is our refined approach to making adventures. You will find that Sordane Stories is much smaller in initial scope. Each adventure only lasting 1-2 sessions while the Airship Campaign Stretch Goal Adventures are much longer spanning multiple levels for the party. Different, but both equally awesome =)
From Sewer to Sky
From Sewer to Sky is a 5th edition adventure for a party of four characters of 1st level. Over the adventure, the characters will advance to 3rd level. The adventure takes place in the sprawling metropolis of Ezdin, Bordair’s largest city and the capital of the Cin’darian Empire. Starting as nothing more than hired hands to help deal with an ever-growing infestation, the party will travel through multiple districts of Ezdin, following a trail of death and deceit. Eventually culminating in a final encounter in the Haggler’s Court; Ezdin’s sky-based marketplace overlooking the city.
Friends in High Places is a 5th edition adventure for a party of four characters of 1st level. Over the adventure, the characters will advance to 3rd level. Set in the peaceful town of Brightwood, the party is attempting to prove their worth to the Arrodan Syndicate; in hopes that they will be able to join them. They have been sent by Syndicate captain Evlar to steal the Crystal Maiden, a famous racing skiff that has reopened painful memories within the Arrodan Syndicate and is now on display again in Brightwood. As such, the party must investigate the town, gaining information and potential aid to circumvent the ship's protections and ultimately steal the Crystal Maiden for the Syndicate.
This ends the updates for Airship Campaigns! If you are curious about the Patreon - Sordane Stories, please continue reading further and consider supporting for more awesome content. We are really fine tuning exactly how we want to provide content for the world of Sordane! Check it out =)
Thanks to everyone who has supported Airship Campaigns and has remained patient and understanding of the project. Thank you all so very much!

A wealthy sordalite baron has invited those from far and wide to seek riches in his mines promising great stores of precious sordalite for any who enter the mines. Many have flocked to take part in this crystal rush, excited by the prospect of striking it rich! But the baron is not as philanthropic as he seems…the baron is aware that there is almost no sordalite in the mines, in fact, there is little down there apart from monsters and other hazards that result in the deaths of any who enter. The baron’s helper drones have been collecting the belongings of those slain in the mine, meaning with every fool who enters the mine, the baron grows just a little bit richer… Can your adventurers uncover the baron’s treachery? Delve into the mines! Combat vicious shard mimics, burrowing earth rumblers, scuttling vitrunids, and more in this 5e adventure, Fool’s Crystal.
A group of abandoned have broken into a nearby shard beast factory, hoping to use the scrap within to rebuild their metallic bodies. But these abandoned got a great deal more than they bargained for when they entered the warehouse… a shard assembly drone, a metallic marvel used for building shard beasts and even airships has been alerted to their presence and activated shard beasts throughout the complex. Will the characters side with the abandoned and help them in escaping the warehouse or will they work for the owners of the factory and put an end to these interlopers? Either way, there is sure to be a fight! Get ready for rivet guns, canon-touting goblins, and massive, flame-throwing robots in this 5e adventure The Unassembly Line.
We are super excited about providing you all with frequent content. I encourage everyone to check it out if they are a bit interested! If it's not your bag, that's okay too! appreciate you all taking the time to look at our new ventures! (We also have new airhsips coming out soon... more on that later in a newsletter!)
