Greetings! Cobalt Sages Creations is a new company - but we have a lot of talent behind us, with some great designers working on our initial project. Although we are brand new, we have been working hard on producing quality work. Right now, however, we need help from some quality gamers. Yes, it is playtesting time.

Our first offering is a setting world called Theia - which is intended to be different from other Pathfinder worlds (and which will also eventually be converted to 5th Edition). The world is a dimensional magnet with magic that literally grows on trees and can be mined from the ground, an alien place where different species mingle. Barshin, the main continent, offers very different takes on dwarves and halflings, and a world where, for example, “common” is not a human language at all.

Which means, right now, we need to test those species and other content, which are also designed to be suitable to slot into your own new or existing campaign world. You can use them in any way you want, adjust them as needed, but for playtesting purposes we’re interested in how they play as they are written and what balance and other problems might come up.

Halflings are humans that evolved to better suit an environment with limited space. Hilada are a standard species modified to become something closer to undead through a ritual to give them nearly eternal “life”. The kashaan are draconic humanoids with some primal tendencies. And viiz matrices are a new type of intangible magical item that requires a consumable for fuel.

The playtest can be found linked here. We are opening this up to playtesting so we can ensure we test balance, playability, and, of course, player interest. Obviously, you can feel free to keep your new character to the end of your campaign!

The document provided includes:

-An overview of the race and its concept, helping players and GMs know how it might fit into their world, including their location, preferred climate, etc.
-Standard and Alternate Racial Traits.
-New Feats for the race and its culture.
-Basic information on culture and physiology so players know how to -RP the race and come up with cool stories.
-Rules and mechanics for the utilization of viiz matrices.
-Basic rules on the fuel required to power viiz matrices.

This is a great opportunity to be amongst the first to play with the halfling, hilada, and kashaan species and to contribute to our creative endeavors. We welcome feedback from all players and GMs.

Would you prefer submissions to include an external link or would you prefer the content to be in the text of the e-mail?

Are there other parameters authors need to adhere to? Do you want authors to use the Race Builder (PFRPG: ARG), is there a specific setting these are being written for (origins and lore seem to be an issue here), and do you want authors to reference the original source in any way (either to explain the half-blood aspect or to introduce the full-blooded versions)?

Hey there Master Marshmallow! Thanks for the info request.

-We do not require use of the race builder as it's really only a guideline.
-There is a specific setting, but it's not public as of yet.
-And the referencing is not desired, but if it's included we won't take off on payment for accepted work. We recognize that without ample information about the world this will be for, writers are limited in their ability to craft for this submission, but we will work with authors whose work we have accepted to make necessary changes.
