It's that time again... A new Kickstarter event is impending. Some of you hate these reminders. Understandable. So do I. But then, without them and without crowdfunding, there wouldn't be a new Gazetteer. So, sorry for the advance nagging and the inevitable follow ups.

What's this new project?

Remember the Voyage of the Princess Ark episodes from Dragon Magazine? "On Wings of Darkness" blends a new skyship episode in a 132 pg. geographic Gazetteer packed with info about a realm of wizards and demons.

Going through the table of contents, the following chapters follow the introductory story:
History of Caldwen (with a huge timeline of events)
Lay of the Land (geography, local culture, economy)
Intrigues of the Magi (politics and the military)
Behind the curtains (brotherhoods and secret sects)
A Cast of Many (major NPCs)
Master & Servant (everything about demons)
Beasties in the Dark (monsters of Caldwen)
At the Heart of Magic (about schools of magic)
Secrets of the Cabals (guilds of wizards, specialty magic)
Blood of the World Soul (about an order of mage-knights)
Sky City of Arcanial (a flying city & encounter ideas)

This comes with lots of maps including Thorfinn Tait's magnificent geographic cartography. The manuscript is complete. Crowdfunding is essentially for the purpose of acquiring decent art. On Wings of Darkness is system neutral and should work with most roleplaying games.

All hands on deck!

80% funded in less than 24 hours. Not bad!

Imagine a gazetteer about a magiocracy not unlike Glantri, but with demons AND undead walking the streets, rival schools of magic, specialized wizard guilds, secret sects, and an order of mage knights endeavoring to control the flow of dangerous mana erupting from the land for the benefit of a despised aristocratic elite. That's Calidar's Caldwen. Little chance of survival. Certainty of something worse than death happening. What are you waiting for?

Backed for $150.

Wow, thanks! Welcome to the new Admiral!  

90% Funded.

Skyships, wizards, demons, undead, rival guilds, a deadly web of deceit...

With this: little chance of becoming a prominent aristocrat. Certainty of a fate worse than death. What are you waiting for?

We've now made it past the 1st Stretch Goal! CA2 "Adventures in Caldwen" which is bundled with the main reward gets an extra 4 pages. Everyone benefits!

Another Morning, Another Stretch Goal for Calidar's latest. Wow.

Just got past the 2nd objective. CA2 "Adventures in Caldwen" has grown to 32 pages. Pass the information along to other people you know who should be interested. Invite them along!

Stretch Goal #3 has been clinched, causing the adventure book associated with the main reward to grow to 36 pages, from 24 originally. Three weeks to go until the 31st.

The latest update -- D&D 5e?

The very next project following CA2 "On Wings of Darkness" will aim to produce kits translating system-neutral stats and general game concepts defining the World of Calidar for the D&D® Game's 5th Edition and perhaps earlier versions (subject to copyrights limitations and OGL permissions). The present idea is to provide game stats indexed chronologically by page and sorted by topic (NPCs, Monsters, etc.) The intention is to make free PDFs and low cost booklets. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, we're approaching the 4th Stretch Goal. Thank you everyone who chipped in. This will bring CA2 "Adventures in Caldwen," the supplement associated with your core reward up to 40 pages. Everyone benefits.

Talk to your friends about this project, and make it a great weekend!

What can I say but thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you. What a  great way to start the day. #Calidar's CA2 "Adventures in Caldwen" is now a 44 page book. Lots of good fun to match CAL2 "On Wings of Darkness."

*CLICK HERE before Oct 31 6:00 pm*

#Calidar's Stretch Goal #10 was reached last night while many of you were out partying for Halloween. That wasn't so scary. So, "Adventures in Caldwen" has reached its top page count, now at 64, on top of the core sourcebook's 132 and up to 7 fold-up maps. This leaves just one ultimate Stretch Goal, which will unlock the Players' Guide to Caldwen. Will we reach it? The next three days or so will tell. Please pass the word! Of all Calidar Kickstarters, this is probably the most rewarding one. Thank you all for this.
