Project Update: 📨Cats and pirates!
Hi, we are writing with some new updates!
First, a certain Kalusian public movement asked us to include following message to all who come to Kalusa:
MAGIC IS HARMFUL!
It takes away people’s jobs and contributes to poverty and unrest.
Laundresses are losing their livelihoods because of magical washing machines. Messengers because of flying mail. Scribes because of book copying. Porters because of golems.
And in the meantime, you’re becoming addicted to magic! You can’t function without magic to beautify, speed up, or make your work easier. You’re turning into zombies.
We must break this downward spiral!
That’s why you should boycott magical products. Scrap your work automaton and hire a living servant. Support artists capable of singing without “enhancements.” Eat real food!
BREAK FREE FROM MAGIC. RECLAIM THE SOUL THAT WAS STOLEN FROM YOU AND THE CITY!
I.E., An Unbound
We are not sure how much success will Mr. I.E. encounter with this message in a city renowned for its magical prowess across the worlds and dimensions, but he seemed really fired up about the issue. He even started to train fighting in plate armor instead of using common magical wards. Maybe you can meet him once we reach the city and ask him what exactly is his problem?
Because Kalusa already has enough of troubles as it is – polluted waters of harbor keep washing up mutated monsters, the guards are nowhere to be seen, there seems to be an acute epidemic of small, but annoying spontaneously spawning demons, and the disgruntled crowds are getting more and more agitated! I hope your group can do something about this, because this city needs courageous adventurers!
But enough with doom and gloom, let’s talk about the other thing the Kalusa is famous for – the cats! We have some new designs for our magical cats to share. Kalusians love their little magical familiars, and all of these cats are companions to major Kalusian NPCs. You can guess what the correct pairings are, if you want – a small hint, one of them is described in the preview. 😊 You can get them as stickers as a reward for backing, so check out our pledge levels!
Next, we run into a small unexpected hurdle with our choose-your-own-adventure story, as polls on BackerKit don’t allow for formatted text, so we will need to incorporate it into our email updates, with polls listing only the options. I hope it’s not too confusing, because we had fun writing it up so we don’t want to scrap it! You will find the current chapter in the following email message.
Finally, we would like to congratulate our friend Kin on reaching his goal with BackerKit campaign for the “My Beloved Ship”, a PirateBorg supplement about enhancing your ship, for reaching his goal! Many of these upgrades could very well be Kalusian exports – enchanted shipbuilding under Lady Whitfield is a booming business in the city! So if you want to play out some buccaneering and swashbuckling before landing on Kalusian shores, the My Beloved Ship BackerKit is open for another 8 days! get it here: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/krakenhund-studio/my-beloved-ship-a-pirate-borg-supplement
Smooth sailing!
