Description
Take a whirlwind tour to the incredible planet of a million fantasy races, the Crucible, in this wild science fantasy anthology from the hit new game, KeyForge.
Welcome to the Crucible - an artificial planet larger than our sun - an ever-growing patchwork of countless other worlds, filled with creatures, sentient beings and societies stolen from across the universe by the mythical Architects. Across this dizzying juxtaposition of alien biospheres, the enigmatic and godlike Archons seek to unlock the secrets at the heart of the Crucible. Everyone else is just trying to survive... Explore ten tales of adventure in a realm where science and magic team up, of discovery and culture clash, featuring mad Martian scientists, cybernetic surgeons, battle reenactors, elven thieves, private investigators, goblins, saurian monsters, and the newly arrived human Star Alliance.

Reviews
"It's been a total blast! As a reader who spends a lot of time exploring grim sci-fi, dark fantasy and horror, these bright and bold and colourful stories have been a real breath of fresh air. I can't wait to read more from this setting!!" -- Track of Words
"I absolutely loved every minute of reading this anthology... If KeyForge as a game is even a tenth as fun, enjoyable and heartening as this anthology, then it will have found a dedicated fan in me and, I'm certain, many other readers." -- The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
"I found each of the stories in this book to be an easy and delightful read. Each story has its own twists and turns, character moments and surprises... I'm really itching to get Keyforge back to the table soon. Not only that, but when I do play again, I feel as if I'll be paying more attention to each card I play." -- Boards & Swords
"An unexpectedly charming little window into the thoroughly weird world of the Crucible, and of KeyForge" -- Drop Lowest
