Preview of a book me and a friend are writing. A collection of sorcerer bloodlines. (Arachnid, Jabberwock, Ooze, Pixie, Wendigo)

We're planning on having at least 32 bloodlines when the book is ready. These 5 are currently the most complete. I'm sharing them both to get thoughts and critiques, and see if anyone would be interested in such a book in the first place.

In this preview you'll find the Arachnid, Jabberwock, Ooze, Pixie and Wendigo bloodlines.

We've also got some sorcerer archetypes we're working on, they aren't complete enough to share though. One is the Bound Artifact sorcerer, who has an artifact, which when they wear it, only then can they use their magic, they also get some vigilante talents, and wearing the artifact moves them one step closer to Chaotic Neutral or Lawful Neutral. (Based on Dr. Fate). The other archetype is the Wandcaster, a metamagic focused archetype, who must use a wand as a focus for her spells. (Based on HP)

All the art is sourced from old public domain books, though we are also looking into finding artists for things like oozes and wendigos, which we can't find any good art for.

The plan is to sell this book on drivethrurpg when it's done. Probably for 15-20$.

As you can see in the PDF, we originally titled it Blood of the Ancients, before being informed on reddit that there was already a Paizo book by that name. We're currently brainstorming a new title.

Wow! This looks amazing! Formatting-wise, I love the look. Eye candy likes this helps keep reader eyeballs on the topic and makes you wanna revisit the book again and again.

As far as content, game mechanics look balanced, creatively new and cleverly titled.

Can't wait for the final product!

P.S. I know this is a shot in the dark, but I personally would love to see a Roper bloodline. I tried to integrate their flair for skilled debate and conversational philosophy into their tentacular schtick, and never was able to pull off a balanced bloodline properly.

Looks like good work. Hopefully it's a fun project
