Looking for Magic in All the Right Places!

OPD-DeepMagic

New Kickstarter from Kobold Press!

Let's get magical with the fine folks over at Kobold Press with their latest project!

Everybody that's ever played a fantasy roleplaying game has that spell that they remember their character casting (fireball for me), and over the years, Kobold Press has released new spells in many of their products—but now the time has come for a tome. Deep Magic aims to give you a quickened punch to your spellbook, with over 300 spells to add to your Pathfinder gaming repertoire! Every class gets something exciting in this new supplement, and not just ordinary spells—you'll get new magical academies (apprentices must learn somewhere after all), variant magical systems, new schools and styles like clockwork, grudge, and ley line magic, spellcasting archetypes, mythic spells...and that's just the beginning! With three stretch goals already opened up, this Deep Magic promises to be one doozy of a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game supplement—no symbol required!

Check out all the details for the Deep Magic Kickstarter project right here, but don't forget the huge variety of releases from Kobold Press available here, and dare to enter their world of Midgard!

It's been a day of Power Word: OBLITERATING every stretch goal so far. Not even 24 hours and we're on our way to the fourth goal of extra art-- after picking up Tim Connors, Jason Bulmahn, and Ed Greenwood.

Yeah, that Ed Greenwood.

Note*:
facepainting not included.

I'm really looking forward to what we'll see in the next four weeks. I think it'll be a casting of empowered delayed blast awesome.

Yeah, to have hit the funding goal in only 6 hours and then blow through the first couple stretch goals in the first day ... is pretty amazing.

And, there are plenty of even more awesome stretch goals to come!

I seriously can't wait to see some of the art that might come out of the stretch goals. With author names like Tim Connors, Jason Buhlman, and Ed Greenwood involved in the first three stretch goals, I can't WAIT to see what might be in store in the art side!

Heh ... I kind of *do* know what's in store in the art side... and there is MUCH potential for some serious awesomeness!!!

MORE stretch goals to come! That makes my investment really worth it!

Today's Deep Magic goal (we're about $600 short) is commissioning Pathfinder designer Stephen Radney-McFarland to write a section of Mythic Magic for the book.

Working with Stephen to add something as cool as the mythic section is terrific. Help us expand the range of Pathfinder RPG magic in ]Deep Magic!

Damn: I might have to get in on this one. Magic systems were always my favorite aspect of gaming.

Now, if you could just convince them to make the material PFS legal.

I was super excited to be backer #40 and can't wait to see all the stretch goals Wolfgang is going to break today!

There is no way this isn't going to be an incredible project.

Liberty's Edge

And ... the next goal is posted!

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

Yep, and a rather well-known AP freelancer is the next designer announced, with a cool topic for spells. Deep Magic keeps looking better. :D

I am super excited about the shadow and star magic, and now the artwork... would love to see some more of the previews.

I think one of the things that also has me excited is seeing all these wizard marks from other supporters,that in itself is probably a worthy project.

Woo hoo! Updated cover image!!! :)

I'm in for $25. I'm going all-digital whenever I can these days.

The Amber Scott section on Tomb Magic is funded! She discusses her inspiration and approach for these spells in a note to the backers.

Oh, and if we get to 400 backers, there's a set of 5 Divine Favor PDFs added for backers. We need about 20 more backers to hit that goal.

Silver Crusade

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.... now lets destroy some stretch goals^^

Edit. Just pledged for the pdf, since international shipping kinda hurts.... of course if they manage to add more mythic....:)

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

Well, we did get SRM for one round of Mythic. There might be more; remains to be seen!

Thank you for backing it!

Contributor, RPG Superstar 2010 Top 4

Twelve backers to go, and we're stalking the next stretch goal!

Check the comments and make suggestions! Shout out at the ideas that you like!


All right, all right. Take my damned money. PDF only at the moment but if Canadian shipping drops down at some point that'll change. Otherwise I'll just hope that Paizo at some point stocks the book and I can order from them, to include with some other order.


Shouldn't you unveil the $24,000 stretch goal before we breach it? :D

Richard Pett writing about magic that can go horribly awry?

*shudders*

That can't be good. Also, we broke 400 backers.

Liberty's Edge

$24,000 stretch goal announced - Mr. Richard Pett himself to contribute to Deep Magic!

Scarab Sages Contributor

And $24,000 stretch goal reached! The backers are simply amazing ... bring on that next stretch goal. :D

Liberty's Edge

Next stretch goal - even MORE Ed Greenwood goodness!!!

Silver Crusade

Okay you have done it, just upgraded to the physical copy, this is going to be to good to miss, and the Hero Lab integration is just awesome (I use it a lot!)

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

Thank you! Trying to make it worth everyone's while.

We also just hit a second art goal, so we're commissioning wizard signs and sigils. I look forward to seeing those, especially because a lot of them will be based on sketches submitted by backers.


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Rulebook, Starfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber

Oh wow. I may have to see if I can afford to do this (hmm can I afford NOT to) ;)

But, seriously, this sounds incredible.

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

Yep, and it does keep getting more incredible. The Hero Lab files for backers are currently $15 away from being funded. So.... close!!

Liberty's Edge

and ... HeroLab files funded!

Very cool article on io9

Check it out! :)

Gah, need just 1 more backer to fund the real scrolls stretch goal! Can you help?

Chipping in just $5 means that 600 people get ultra-cool handouts.
