Autarch LLC

Ave, Patron! Welcome to Autarch's Patreon! Over two thousand years ago, the ancient Romans developed a flourishing system where aristocrats of wealth and power served as sponsors and benefactors, becoming known as "patrons". We hope that, as Caesar was to Brutus, you will be to us - one of our patrons! (We promise not to stab you on the Senate floor.)&nbsp;Why We Need Your Support Since its inception in 2011, we have been fortunate to have the support of generous crowdfunding backers for all of our initiatives. We began with a Kickstarter for our flagship title, the Adventurer Conqueror King System (ACKS), an old-school fantasy RPG designed to support campaign play. With its sweeping mechanics for strongholds, realms, thieves' guilds, wizard's sanctums, and magical research, ACKS allowed players to follow the likes of Aragorn, Conan, and Theseus on the path from wanderer to monarch. We followed ACKS with dozens of adventures, sourcebooks, and e-zines, culminating in the crowdfunding for ACKS II, a majestic work over over a million words across three volumes.But it's not enough! We want to release more! And your pledges will make this&nbsp;possible by supporting the ongoing development of Autarch's product line. As a patron, you will get monthly, semi-monthly, or even real-time updates on all of our new products, exclusive previews, playtest access, and more!

Free

Each month, you will receive material for use with ACKS II. This might be all-new material that takes the game into new places or updates to old material to bring it in line with the Imperial Imprint. You will receive access to the back catalog of monthly content updates as well as to the ACKS I Axioms PDFs. If you make an account on the Autarch forums or Discord, your profile there will be marked with a special badge showing your level of patronage.
