Today I bring you all news, heralding a new venture beyond the realm and into the heavens themselves! Work continues on the manufacture of physical goods for Faerie, and the remaining digital goods will be completed and sent out this week; I will return next Monday with a more comprehensive update there, including news on some of our Gauntlet entries and a look at the full Faerie GM screen!
But in the mean time I return as promised to tell you all about our next book, Lodestar: A Spacefarer's Manual, and then attempt to pressgang you into service aboard our vessel by enticing you with exclusive rewards for Faerie backers only...
What is Lodestar?
Our latest setting guide invites you all to sail the galactic seas of Lodestar in a swashbuckling space-fantasy campaign setting for 5e that brings the magic of worlds like Treasure Planet and Spelljammer to your table in all their glory! Think space-faring vessels inspired by the golden age of sail, pirates sailing the stars, and strange new worlds waiting to be explored!
Here's what to expect inside:
250+ pages of beautifully illustrated sourcebook, including art from some of Spelljammers earliest contributors Paul Abrams (Skull & Crossbows, TSR 1990., Crystal Spheres, TSR 1990.) & David O. Miller (Rock of Bral, TSR 1992., Krynnspace, TSR 1993.).
A detailed and original space-fantasy setting for tabletop gaming, steeped in the spirit of maritime adventure and space exploration!
10 new subclasses, including the gun-toting Spellpowder Wizard, the star-powered Solar Sorcerer, and the Coven of the Spheres Witch!
6 new spacefaring species, from symbiote-like oozes to crystal-folk born amidst the stars.
An original & comprehensive system for ship combat and management out in the seas of space; climb aboard and take to the stars in your own siltsailed scumrunner with easy to run rules and a cargo hold full of customisation options!
A bestiary of bizarre beasties from the deep depths of the void and beyond, who wouldn’t want to face down a space kraken from atop their own sailship after all…
Why is Lodestar?
Myself and Aston have long been fans of Spelljammer, and like many others have felt somewhat uninspired by the more recent official and unofficial entries, so thought we would take a shot at creating our own space-fantasy setting to fill the wyldspace shaped hole in our hearts. Not to mention the fact that Treasure Planet is one of the greatest works of art to ever grace the screen, and getting to bring something with even a whisper of its soul to the gaming table was just too enticing!
