Growing Erdaheim - Level 5 Skill Trees, and a Call for Artists

J.D. Stanton · December 05, 2025

Since PAX, I’ve been heads-down on the one thing every playtester asked about most: what happens after the early levels? The Playtest Packet now covers the Gearmaster and Vergewalker skill trees all the way through level 5, so adventurers have a real path to grow into instead of hitting a wall a few sessions in. It’s a meatier document than the one I was handing out a few weeks ago, and it’s already changing how people build characters at the table.

The other big shift this month: I’m opening Vergebound up to outside artists. Erdaheim has lived in our heada - and in a lot of rules text - for a long time, and it’s time for other eyes and hands to help shape what it actually looks like. We’ve put together a call for illustrators to submit test pieces, with a shot at defining the visual identity of the game’s first chapter. If you know an artist who might want in on that, send them our way.
