Open Design has a Kickstarter project that is in its final days. It is already fully funded, but a little more will bump the project to the next tier. The project is really gaining steam. For those that don't know, Open Design are the same folks that out Kobold Quarterly.

Here is a snippet of what the project is all about.

Journeys to the West said:
A new seven-island, 6-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.

This looks to be a great project for Pathfinder fans. Four more days to contribute. Softcover copies of the release all the way down to people who contribute $25!
