Spirit Cards were something that was talked about as an add on (or possible new product). They are possibly going to be a PDF for printing out 4x6 or 5x7 cards ( I don't remember the exact size) with the spirits greater and lessor powers as well as sign and influence all printed on them for easy reference. That way, you can just pull the cards for the spirits you know, and keep the ones you are bound to handy during game play.
Hope I explained that right.

Dexion 1619 has the description right though there will also be the binding DC & I hope the totems, favored allies & enemies on there. After all there are 2 sides to the cards.
We have over 250 likes on the Facebook page & are $ 1,800 dollars over the amount. That means Dario is going to be providing 90 + pages of world building stuff is going to be added. Maybe some of the stuff can get more than 2 pages.
This is going to be a great book.

Yes it is, but its going to take a while before it comes out with all that extra content. I can't wait until I get my hands on the playtest material though.

We got to 250 backers, so I'm adding several Lovecraft organizations. (Mostly cults; I'll have the full list up soon-ish.) Dario is adding a two-page spread for every 40 PEOPLE above 250 we get. The way the calculations work, $40 = 1 person, so $1,800 is effectively 45 extra people. Right now, that means one additional spread has been unlocked.
But don't fret, there will be ways during the Backer Playtest to increase the effective member count, and if we get more members during the playtest that number will rise as well.
I'm not going to be very present in this forum for the next few days because of the work I need to do getting the survey and V1 of the Backer Playtest document together. Currently, v1 is going to consist of Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Chapter 7 (Prestige Classes), Chapter 8 (Pact Magic Realms), and Chapter 9 (Esoteria) will not be in the initial document because they aren't finished yet.

The surveys have been sent out. :)
Yeah, I kept it pretty basic. Sending them out faster and simpler also allows me to message people about any inconsistencies in the survey results. My plan is to wait a day or two (I'm working on Prestige Classes in the meantime) ands then sit down and compile all of this data.

Am I just tired from lack of sleep from obsessively playing Pillars of Eternity, or is there not a list on the Kickstarter page of the add-ons? If it's not just because I'm tired, would you mind listing them here with prices so I can be sure I don't miss anything with prices? (Because I am totally exhausted from staying up late playing Pillars of Eternity and I don't want to make errors when filling out the survey.)

Luthorne, there is. When you open the survey open another tab, and look for the "story" page.
Here's the link if it helps.

Thanks. This seems to be a recent phenomenon, doesn't it? I don't remember this happening before...ah, well. Again, thanks.

We –really– want to get to color too, Luthorne!
That diagram idea is interesting. I don't think its something we've specifically nailed down yet, but its a cool idea. Remind me again when the Kickstarter is drawing to a close; I think I have a place for it.
Slightly after the Kickstarter is drawing to a close, but as requested, reminding you that at least I would like a diagram or chart showing the relationships between the different constellations.

I realize you may not see this for a bit, but would one of those 6 chapters perhaps include magic items appropriate for occultists?

Since it will contain everything in Pact Magic Unbound Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, it will include at least some magic items for binders, though I certainly wouldn't object to more, since there aren't that many. Mmm, Dedicated Vest.

After some brief conversation, Dario and I shuffled the Chapter numbers around from what my previous post implied. This is what they look like now.
Chapter 7 is done, so that might be included in the Backer Playtest Document, V1.
Chapter 1 — Classes
Chapter 2 — Feats
Chapter 3 — Pactmaking
Chapter 4 — Spirits
Chapter 5 — Spells
Chapter 6 — Prestige Classes
Chapter 7 — Magic Items
Chapter 8 — Occult Realms
Chapter 9 — Esoteria

There are a good deal more then there one before. For one, there's an entire page of occult armor abilities and occult weapon abilities, each. There's also a page devoted to rods, staves, and artifacts. Finally, a certain set of magical teeth is going to be making its grand reentrance into pact magic, although the mechanics are much simpler then what was present in the Tome of Magic.

Sweet. :D Anything like my proposal a while back (implanting a tooth grants you the associated spirit's capstoned major ability but unavoidably forces you to manifest the sign and accept the influence)?

Sorta-Kinda-Not-Really-Ish?
For one, the teeth are designed to be useful to non-binders as well as binders. Dario and I wanted options in the book that help to explain how people could become exposed to pact magic and why its tempting. Popping a tooth out and inserting a weirdly-shaped one for power is easy, abet somewhat self-mutilating.
That EXACT ability isn't what they do, but it isn't TOO far off.

Well I was assuming that my version would work for non-binders...

I did not miss it. Dario and I are trying to figure out a way that works best for him. When I have more information to share about it, I'll post it to the Kickstarter as an update. Keep your eyes on your inbox!
Alexander Augunas Contributor |
Cool beans. Just saw you answering other questions and wondering whether it was a mistake. That's fine, and thanks for letting me know!
In the meantime, shall I fill out the backer survey as if I'm not getting the add-on?
Yes. Write in, "None, but if the system can be fixed I would like 'X', 'Y', and 'Z'."
I'm actually in the process of compiling the survey data now so I can gear up to start fulfilling stuff, namely PDFs of products that are already available.

I backed for both the Psychological Combat add-on and the Leadership Handbook add-on. I received psychological combat via DTRPG already, but have not gotten the Leadership Handbook.
Go on Kickstarter and send Radiance House a PM so we'll have your e-mail address. We'll take care of you.
