New Heroes of Barcadia Characters & Content are Coming! Heroes for Hire Launching Early September!

Greetings, Barcadians!
It’s been a long time since we last journeyed together. So, who’s ready for a new adventure with some brand-new faces and a new game mechanic?
The Story The original Heroes of Barcadia are facing a new challenge! The Grand Drink Guardian found an ancient artifact in the dungeon — the Die of Barcane Chaos, and released its chaotic energy.
Feeling overwhelmed, our original heroes retreated to the Plastered Pony Tavern to regroup, where they ran into Brewtus Pintsmasher, the event organizer of the drinking contest. After telling him what was going on, Brewtus sent out letters to distant lands, calling for help. His plea was answered by four valiant heroes — the Heroes for Hire. With rewards aplenty should they succeed, they venture into the dungeon, facing trials even tougher than those of the original Heroes.
Each of these characters comes with 1 Health Bar Cup, 1 d20, 1 Signature Move Card, and 3 new Power-Up Cards themed around the character. You also might notice that some of these characters have partners and/or familiars. Maybe they’ll be involved in the gameplay somehow?
How Does Heroes for Hire Work? The Heroes for Hire cups are designed to replace a character from the base game and/or party pack. This means you can seamlessly integrate these new heroes into your existing game setup, keeping the maximum number of players at 8 for optimized playthroughs. More characters means more ability cards! Try them all out until you find the best approach that matches your playstyle.
How Does the Die of Barcane Chaos Work? Not only do you get new characters, but you also get to play with a new mechanic — the Die of Barcane Chaos.
Crafted by the Chaoschasers (Alechemist Wizards who reveled in the unpredictable nature of magic), the Die of Barcane Chaos has the power to alter reality and make things REALLY complicated. We’re waiting for the official launch to reveal EVERYTHING, but for now… let’s just say that your Loot Card strategy will never be the same again. Every Loot Card that's played moves the die closer to activating, and the player who triggers it must roll to determine their fate! It's a brand-new mechanic to an already fun game.
Stay Updated Sign up to get notified when the Heroes for Hire Kickstarter goes live in (drumroll, please)... earlySEPTEMBER 2024 (aka in a few short weeks). Plus, if you sign up for updates and back the project you’ll receive a free Die of Barcane Chaos Power-Up Card after it’s fully funded! Sign up now to get notified when Heroes for Hire launches on Kickstarter.
Thank you for your support and, as always, your thirst for adventure!
Barcadians! The Bag of Holding Kickstarter is LIVE
over 2 years ago

Greetings Barcadians!
We hope you’ve enjoyed exploring dungeons and reclaiming your drink hoards! Long dungeon crawls should contain LEGENDARY loot, which is why we wanted to let you know of some truly amazing loot we made that’s LIVE on Kickstarter.
Once upon a time, in a not-so-distant past, there was a legendary Bag of Holding. It was a treasured bag, cherished by adventurers far and wide. But, as the years went by, these once-mighty bags fell victim to frayed zippers, wear and tear, and too much tape. It was a sad day for adventurers everywhere.
However, in the heart of this tale, a new chapter unfolds!
Rollacrit has embarked on a quest to breathe life back into this iconic artifact. With over a year of intensive research, development, and a sprinkle of magic, we proudly present the all-new Bag of Holding!
It's bigger! Stronger! Holdier! Our Bag of Holding is ready to Misty Step into the 2020s with unmatched style. It's not just a bag; it's a statement, a companion, and a testament to your adventurer spirit. And it's officially launched on Kickstarter. See what's new below!
What's New
Messenger Bag Versatility: Our Bag of Holding isn't just a bag; it's your versatile sidekick. You can wear it as a messenger bag or flaunt it as a backpack. Your choice, your adventure!
Tech-Savvy Specs: Crafted from 16 oz washed canvas, this bag is a fortress lined with an extra sturdy 210D polyester lining. It's padded with 8mm EPE foam inserts, making it as robust as your favorite barbarian. Those double-stitched, heavy-duty metal zippers? They're like the enchanted locks to your loot.
Overpowered Durability: We didn't stop there. N420D Hypalon reinforced corners and industrial-strength latches will withstand even the toughest dungeon delves. Worried about capacity? It can carry as much as you can fit in the bag.
But that's not all! We've got a ton more in store for you. Curious? Check the Kickstarter page.
Back the Bag on Kickstarter!
Ready to embark on your next quest with the ultimate Bag of Holding? Join us on this epic Kickstarter adventure and be part of something legendary. Get ready to level up your style, storage, and swagger!

Greetings, Barcadians!
It's been less than a week since we last wrote, but we've got some more exciting developments to share. Buckle in as we've finally revealed the Grand Drink Guardian, have 3 Power-Ups in hand, 5hp, and a dream.
Heroes of Barcadia is available for Sale
That's right! Starting at 9 AM EDT on March 25th, you will be able to purchase remaining Kickstarter Editions of the Base Game and Party Pack, as well as many of the add-ons that were unlocked thanks to all of your incredible support, directly on rollacrit.com. These items are all limited availability, and once some of them are gone, they're less likely to come back than the wooden trap tokens. So don't miss this chance to add to your Heroic Barcadian collection!
What does this mean?
We want to assure you that the while the Kickstarter portion of Heroes of Barcadia is now closed, we are still committed to resolving any CS issues with delivery, damage, or return to sender issues.
We also want to give a big shoutout to everyone who showed up at the last second and completed their survey or fixed their credit card issues. You rock! If you did not fix those issues, you will need to email us at [email protected] so we can resolve those issues on a case by case basis.

Greetings, Barcadians!
We're excited today because the incredible goal of making a game and sending it out to almost 15,000 around the world has finally come to fruition! So, let's dive in to all the sweet, sweet status updates we have for you today.
Wave 2
By the end of day today, everyone who was in Wave 2 of our fulfillment will have received their tracking information. Wow!!! T-Shirt CANNON!!! Now that Wave 2 has graduated to exploring the dungeon of USPS, we have confirmation from Bridge that issues related to the wrong use of Magic Pourtals (lost packages), things that were delivered by the Krunken (damaged upon receipt), etc. can now begin.
Wave 3
Hello everyone still out there with an unresolved Backer issue! As we've previously mentioned, there are still some customers who have not finished their survey or resolved credit card payment issues (please see this and fix). As of the end of the day on Sunday, March 19, 2023 at 11:59 PM EDT we will be considering the Kickstarter closed. For clarification, pledging the campaign and finishing the steps necessary to receive your pledge must be finished in your BackerKit portal.
Anyone who hasn't resolved BackerKit issues, by that very specific time, can reach out to us directly at [email protected]. This will allow us to help you best, regardless of where you are located in the world. Anyone who has fixed their information (THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!) will be our final wave of shipments for our Kickstarter Campaign.
So, what's next?
Thanks for asking! We're really excited to share with everyone here that we will be launching any remaining units of the Heroes of Barcadia Kickstarter Edition, alongside many of the add-ons that people have been asking about, on rollacrit.com starting Thursday March 23, 2023!!! But how will I ever know when this goes live? You didn't include an overly specific time? Get notified here! Seriously though, all of these items are limited availability and once some of them are gone, they won't be coming back.
