Okay, for a moment there, I thought I was looking at a young Plasmoid Esper. ;)

I just wanted to share my first Esper. Not at all what I'd originally considered, I'm playing a Galeoni (Stout Halfling) Medium. The DM for this campaign (as the result of an older campaign) has halflings doing a sort of friendlier version of the Shadow over Innsmouth, where they've run into a cthonic cult of sahuagin and bullywugs and through sheer hospitality have slowly just integrated (and interbred) them into normal rural life.

My shark is an atavistic throwback who's getting squamous dreams and is a little too interested in the old waterlogged temples, who's visions don't just stay in his head. Very excited to get started with him next week!

My license for their use is exclusive to two options:

1) Advertising for Paranormal Power
2) Use in Paranormal Power

I'll be re-releasing the book with all of the art replaced at a future date. PDFs, too.
This reminds me: I have often wondered how RPG products sell after a kickstarter. When you get a chance, maybe 6 months to a year down the road, could you give us an update on how sales have gone post KS?

Did you ever read Psi-Force
I think my next campaign will be a homebrew world with Paranormal Powers as the focus
A party of ESPers with maybe some other classes as support classes (maybe NPCs)
Low magic world where psionics are unknown
The secret society in charge knows that now regular people are emerging with powers
The characters are being hunted while they learn their new powers and help others out where they can
I'm also debating just setting it in Dark Sun too and just homebrewing the adventure

That is -awesome- to hear! And no, I wasn't a Psi-Force fan back when I was younger. Might have to start reading it, though, since it was a separate Marvel universe.

That said: Dark Sun could be a place to set it, sure. But the preponderance of psionics in the setting (particularly the monsters) might be a bit much. If I might make a tiny suggestion?

Victorian England could be a ton of fun. Have the secret society be a bunch of English Nobles who learned what little magic there is battling against similar secret societies in other European and Asiatic countries... That puts the Psionic Awakening both as a power struggle against power sources (Psi/Magic) but also frames it as one of economics (Poor people with power? Don't be absurd!) and social clout/power.

Could even do the "Fantasy England" where there are goblin chimneysweeps and the like!

I like your input. That kind of setting could keep the focus on the powers where I'd like it. Setting it in an actual historical setting would be fun for research for the game too. Thanks again for the wonderful product. I'm still reading it and I'm going to figure it out with the a5e. I may pick that up soon

I'm also toying with the idea for a quick (run in 2-3 hours) adventure for Dark Sun which could also be a starting point for something like an A5E Dark Sun Starter Kit. If you are interested in helping to compile stuff I can open a new thread for that
