The definitive tome of magic runes for 5th Edition! Unearth new races, lore, monsters, & more tied to your favorite languages! This is the Pre-order Store for the Kickstarter campaign – Caliya’s Chronicle of Runes: A Runic Expansion for D&D 5e. The prices and rewards (including Stretch Goals) are the same as during the campaign and are available until order quantities are locked in. ** 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: Shipping fees will be calculated and charged SEPARATELY at a later date closer to fulfilment. After shipping fees are added in, you will be notified via email before you're charged. Placing a pre-order from this page constitutes an agreement that you have read and understand this. See the estimated shipping section near the bottom of the Kickstarter page for more.

I have to start by saying how endlessly thankful I am for all of you who made this campaign an amazing success. Nearly 4,000 backers, and we just snuck over $350,000 at the end! Truly unbelievable. Thank you all.
(To anyone peeking in who just missed backing before the Kickstarter ended, you can still head over to the Pre-order Store on BackerKit to get in your late pledge!)
First, Kickstarter will begin collecting pledges. This process usually takes about 2-3 weeks. Once I receive confirmation from them that everything is complete, I'll start sending out surveys via BackerKit.
Next week, I'll also be running the "Voter's Choice" Backer Poll for us to determine the final race and language that will be included in the book! Feel free to comment below with any race and language suggestions you'd like to see in the poll!
In addition to collecting your shipping details, the surveys sent out via BackerKit will allow you to select any additional add-ons, or even upgrade your pledge tier if you'd like. These surveys will remain open until I have to lock them to start fulfilling orders, but I generally recommend filling them out as soon as possible after they're sent.
Digital rewards will be sent out through BackerKit as they're completed—some of which will even be available immediately upon completing your survey!
As always, for folks who want to stay up to date with everything I'm working on, I recommend...
That’s all for now, folks! I'll keep everyone posted with updates here through the development of the project. If you have any questions, you're always welcome to message me here on Kickstarter, on Discord, or email me at [email protected].
Thank you for all the support, friends. The excitement surrounding this project means the world to me.

Happy Wednesday, folks!
It's hard to believe the project ends tomorrow! As I write this, we're passing $290,000 raised?! Truly honored to have such amazing support from all of you, and excited to help everyone embark on new rune-themed adventures. 😄
I know a lot of you have been anxiously waiting to see if there would be one more Stretch Goal before the end. Well, here it is!
At $300k, we'll be adding a few new exclusive options to the Ascension of the Behidra adventure!
Though these are especially thematic for the adventure and are being included in this companion softcover book, they will be designed such that they are easily able to be deployed in any game!
If you'd like to give us a boost toward this final goal and grab the adventure yourself (the PDF is only $5!), you can do so by going to the Rewards page and hitting "Manage your pledge" and then selecting the "Behidra Adventure" add-on.
I've genuinely had a lot fun browsing all the other cool 5e projects throughout this campaign and meeting (and reconnecting with!) so many talented creators. The final one I'm shouting out here for you all is The Crystals of Z'leth.
It's designed as a "survival solo adventure," meaning no DM, maps, or minis are required! Just play your own 5e character, choose a path, fight monsters, and progress with cool loot and experience—the perfect way to test out new character concepts, go on an adventure between sessions, or play alone with real stakes.

Thank you so much, friends! So excited to watch with you all as the campaign progresses over this final day!

By popular demand! I've opened a new pledge tier that includes all the digital things! This is effectively a digital "All-In" tier. It includes all the Fonts, all the digital Rune Cards, the Behidra Adventure PDF, all VTT Modules, a full year of the Masters of the Gauntlet Compendium & more, plus...
A new digital version of the Translation Key Bookmarks for you to print yourself at home or use as a quick reference on your devices. This is an add-on now available to all pledge tiers as well!
If you'd like to hop over to this new tier or add the Digital Bookmarks, you can do so by going to the Rewards page to "Manage your pledge." (And make sure to do it soon, because the campaign ends Thursday!)
One of my best friends does professional voiceover work, and he recorded this incredible "Epic Movie Trailer"-style voiceover for the project. Seriously, it's amazing, and he's amazing. Go check it out on the campaign page!
We've just crossed the absolutely staggering milestone of $250,000 raised—and just as we're entering the final 72-hour stretch! (More details on "Rune Casting" here in the previous update.) I'm indescribably excited to get to bring so much runic fun to your games. Truly speechless.
We're in the home stretch here, so I wanted to make sure to give a shoutout to my friends over at Legendary Games before we finish! They're running a project called "Mediterranean Monsters & Mythology" which is a 140+ page 5E bestiary featuring over 120 incredible creatures drawn from the myths and legends of the lands around the Mediterranean Sea. So fun!
Truly just a fantastic-looking project with some outstanding artwork. Really excited to use this one in my games.
They've also got a pair of free PDFs you can download on DriveThruRPG: Mediterranean Monsters and Mother of Monsters.
Thank you so much for coming along this journey with me, friends. Endlessly grateful for the enthusiasm and support.
