Latest Updates from Our Project:

Alternative Rune Implementations Unlocked! (+195k Stretch Goal)
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jul 10, 2023 at 09:13:16 AM

Happy Monday, folks!

This morning we pushed past $180,000 raised! Thanks to the continuously growing support from all of you, the book will now include several optional ways to implement runes in your game—from tattoos, to general arcane enchantments, and more. (Perhaps you could even incorporate several different ways to use them in the same game!)

New Stretch Goal!

At 195k, we'll get to add two thematic character Backgrounds to the book: Rune Hunter and Polyglot (that's someone who speaks a ton of languages). This will really help round out player characters built around these runic themes, since you'll now have everything covered from race to subclass to background. Super excited for these!

And for some added fun, I've gone ahead and drawn up "Rune Hunter" in Celestial, Draconic, and Orcish below. 😄

Project Spotlight

My friends over at Ghostfire Gaming are currently finishing up their latest big 5e project called Aetherial Expanse, which is a stellar campaign setting (sorry, can't help myself with the puns!) based in the Astral Sea that includes ship combat rules, plus new monsters, subclasses, spells, items, and their "Heritage Trait System" that lets you build your own character species. Really fantastic stuff.

Here's a blurb from them about the project:

The Aetherial Expanse Setting Guide is a 200+ page book exploring a wondrous region on the astral plane where sailing ships can sail across a magical sea of aetherial liquid. This stunningly illustrated book is filled with new 5th Edition rules for GMs and players alike, bringing this high-fantasy setting to life.

All this will be available in a beautifully illustrated hardcover book or on your VTT platform of choice!

I'll be back tomorrow with the Week 3 Recap! Thanks as always, friends!
