Latest Updates from Our Project:

2nd Stretch Goal + Updated Social Goals!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 05, 2022 at 10:10:07 AM

Hey star-loving people!

We have unlocked the 2nd stretch goal in just 12 hours and with that, I have a little surprise for you for the next one!

2nd Stretch Goal - New Planet: Fungal World UNLOCKED!

The Fungal World will now be included in the final book!

This planet is full of wonders and of course... dangers! Just like all the other planets in Starlight Arcana, the Fungal World will have its own adventures, side quests, monsters, NPCs and of course unique maps and environments.

It is important to note that no two planets will be alike in Starlight Arcana. Inspired by other popular media and specifically other games, I really wanted to have each planet feel unique with their own environmental hazards, unique mechanics that could help or hinder adventurers on their quests and a lot more.

So excited to be adding it to the already huge line-up of locations!

3rd Stretch Goal - New Subclass: Astral Buccaneer

For the next Stretch Goal, we have a new subclass that will take us to 13 subclasses in the book!

This is a very special subclass as it is one that both Rangers and Rogues can use. It is based on the Eythereal Pirates and Buccaneers that roam the Sea of Stars robbing and abducting other creatures that are innocently traveling from planet to planet.

Who are the Eythereals?

The Eythereals are a very old alien race that lost their planet after they mined it too hard while there are rumors that their planet was lost due to war and some kind of subterfuge from other races that found the Eythereals far too rich. 

The Eythereals survive only by consuming Eyther. Since their planet is gone, so is their primary source for Eyther and because of that, they have now become the best traders in the galaxy as they scour every corner of the cosmos to find things that will sate their hunger.  Some, however, took the less legal route and became Astral Corsairs, sailing through the Sea of Stars and abducting others so that they may use their intricate technology to absorb the life force of those they capture. They then consume the extract so that they may quench their endless thirst. This method only leaves them wanting more though since the Eyther extracted from other beings is not pure enough.

A little comic by the KoboldMapper!

Our good friend KoboldMapper made a fantastic little comic that explains the whole idea behind the Eythereal Corsairs perfectly!

Thank you so much Mr.Kobold!

Check out his Instagram to find some other fantastic and funny comics that he makes!

A quick change to Social Stretch Goals!

We really, REALLY want you to be able to unlock more spoilers and previews for the content in Starlight Arcana and I will admit that the Social Stretch goals we had were a bit extreme in terms of numbers we needed to be reached for each one of them.

For that reason, we are bumping all of the goals down a bit so that unlocking preview content is more feasible!

Be sure to check them out!

-----

Once we hit the next stretch goal, we have yet another surprise for all of you. We are also preparing more free promo content, so you can look forward to that too!

Till the next update...

May Starlight guide your way my friends!

1st Stretch Goal - DONE!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 02, 2022 at 05:01:22 PM

Hey awesome people!

It took only a few more hours before you managed to reach the 1st stretch goal and I cannot wipe the smile off my face since I cannot stop thinking that we are ACTUALLY GOING TO PRINT A HUGE ASTRAL BOOK SOON!

1st Stretch Goal - Backgrounds UNLOCKED!

I was always a huge fan of backgrounds that are closely tied to the theme of the campaign setting and especially after playing through Rime of the Frostmaiden that had amazing "secrets" for the players' characters, I was inspired to make something even more grand for our very own campaign setting.

You can expect some very comprehensive information and carefully selected and written backgrounds to choose from for your heroes during character creation!

2nd Stretch Goal - New Planet!

Next up, we have another planet to add to the galaxy map and the campaign story. The Fungal World!

Just like all the other planets, it will come with:

  • Its own set of monsters
  • Unique NPCs
  • Adventures and Side Quests
  • Unique Maps and Environment Art

Each location in the Sea of Stars and generally in the campaign that is in Starlight Arcana is FULLY explored through tons of playable content and illustrations that help bring it to life.

----------

Kind reminder that we are slowly working towards unlocking a whole bunch of the Social Stretch Goals as well! :D

Till the next update...

May Starlight guide your way my friends!

THANK YOU! We reached our funding goal!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 02, 2022 at 12:43:03 PM

Hey everyone!

Kelf here and I just want to start with a huge THANK YOU for helping us bring this dream project to life!

Your support is greatly appreciated and we honestly cannot wait to show you all the extra stuff that we have in store for stretch goals and other things we want to add to the book!


I want to remind everyone that we have ALREADY FINISHED MOST OF THE BOOK and the only work left is to just get your help to make it even bigger!

--------

So on to the Stretch Goals!

--------

Player Backgrounds

For our first Stretch Goal, we have something awesome for players! We will add over 20 Sea of Stars flavored backgrounds to the already huge book we are printing. That means plenty of unique Background Options to help you make your characters and their backgrounds even more thematic for the astral campaign you are going to play!


These will work just like the 5th edition backgrounds you are already familiar with and will also come with some extra suggestions for character story, character secrets and some other ties to the Fate of Stars mechanic that is introduced in our campaign.

--------

Also, I want to bring to your attention that WE HAVE A SOCIAL STRETCH GOALS PAGE! Take a quick look and if you have some time, help us unlock some of the Social Stretch Goals to get even more spoilers and add even more content to the book!

--------

We are SO excited (I seriously cannot stop saying that...) and I will be spoiling a whole bunch of content that will be in the book through upcoming updates!


Till the next update...

May Starlight guide your way my friends!
