With a changing of the seasons, Open Design embarks on a fresh project-- Journeys to the West: Fantastic Voyages in the Western Ocean

Designer: Christina Stiles (Unhallowed Halls, The Village of Briarton, Faery's Tale)
System: Pathfinder Roleplaying Game
Adventure Levels: 1 to 12
Length: approximately 96 pages, more if the project reaches the higher funding tier

A new six-adventure anthology is underway from Open Design! Set sail from Barsella, the City at the Edge of the world, home of adventurers and pirates, and explore the vast, uncharted waters of the Midgard campaign setting’s Western Ocean.

Discover the lush paradise known as the Isle of Morphoi, where the goddess of Memory seeks lost secrets through her network of cunning lamias and the shapeshifting morphoi. Encounter lost civilizations and their hidden colonies; explore mysterious fog-shrouded islands populated by sharp-toothed, scarred natives; battle epic leviathans of the deep that are rumored to crush villages or swallow whole ships; and gain priceless and unusual treasures!

Backers of Journeys to the West will join lead designer Christina Stiles to:

* Populate and describe the city of Barsella, gateway to the Wine Dark Sea: its high towers and exotic markets flush with strange salvage pulled from sunken ruins and looted from cryptic derelicts.

* Delve into the mysteries of the Isle of Morphoi and the cults of Mnemosyne, whose sorcerer-priestesses wield water and ley-line magic against adventurers, and swiftly leap from port to port as they engineer far-ranging conspiracies in smoky taverns and opulent throne rooms.

* Take to the waves with new ship plans, and master the dangers of the unknown with new traits, feats, spells, incantations, and gear.
Design unexplored islands where terrifying new monsters are worshiped as sacrifice-loving gods.

* Create haunted, treasure-laden ruins to test the mettle and sanity of fortune-seeking adventurers

Journeys to the West is designed for maximum use in any nautical or edge-of-civilization Pathfinder Roleplaying Game campaign. Backers will participate in brainstorming sessions, and some may add feats, spells, traits, and gear to the book as patron designers.

Backers at the Captain level and above may pitch seven islands, six adventures, eight monsters, and eight pirate lords. Their successful pitches will turn into fully credited design in the Open Design style.

Rally your crew, and hoist the sails! Fantastic voyages await!

You can sign up for it on Kickstarter-- here! And check out the addition options, depending on how we hit our funding marks!
