1st Donor Pledge Level Reward reached and 2nd Donor Pledge Level Reward coming soon for Wrath of the Gatekeepers Campaign serial adventures kickstarter!

We originally planned to have this kickstarter start on August 18, but due to my mistake (AKA don’t do thing when you are partly awake) we started this kickstarter week early. Since we started a week earlier a few things that we had planned were still in development and were not ready for the early release date. One of those things was the Donor Pledge Rewards.

We decided to add-in in game items / elements to help with the storyline of the adventures. Since these were just add-on and not necessary for the playability of the adventures we attached them to the amount of donor we would have for this kickstarter. And with that, when we reached 25 donors we offered this donor reward:

All Donors $19 (Citizen of the Empire) or higher: Private rank for your PC, which means you are or have been an enlisted rank of the Imperial Army

So congratulations to everyone who received this 1st donor award.

Now on to the 2nd Donor Pledge Level Reward! When we reach 50 donors we will offer this:

All Donors $19 (Citizen of the Empire) or higher: Corporal rank for your PC, which means you are or have been an enlisted rank of the Imperial Army

So here we are moving a long smooth and steady to reach our goal of $3,000. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting us and this kickstarter and PLEASE feel to spread the good news of this kickstarter to everyone you know or might be interested in this. Thanks!

All I wanted to do is make a better version of the Giff and I came up with the Kaylethon.

The original plan was to create another mash-up with campaign setting like what we did with Obsidian Apocalypse, our Ravenloft / Dark Sun inspired mash-up. The new setting was to be called Pirates of the Bronze Sky and it was to be a mash-up of Spelljammer and Birthright based off of the American Revolution. I wanted to make a counterpoint to WOTC’s Eberron. Don’t get me wrong, I like Eberron, but NeoExodus kind of covers some of the same areas Eberron does. Pirates of the Bronze Sky was going to be my steampunk meets Raiders of the Lost Ark inspiration and I knew the one thing to make the setting different was having floating islands and skyships to sail between them. What I really wanted to do is make a world that felt more cinematic and more exciting than your typical RPG setting. And with that, I needed to create races that were interesting different and unique to the setting. And that's how I came up with a Kaylethon. I think the Giff are very iconic to the setting of Spelljammer and I wanted that same thing for Pirates of The Bronze sky. So I took one of my favorite animal, the rhinoceros, added two more arms, gave them gunpowder pistols and I knew that would be something exciting that players had not seen before. But I still needed a culture to provide a background and a believable characteristic for them. So I thought and I thought and I came up with the Scottish because everybody knows kilts cool. And what's that the Kaylethon was born.

While Kaylethon originally were created for Pirates of The Bronze Sky, they ended up in one of the first drafts for the adventure serial that we planned The Cross of Fire. We had them in a really great role as mercenaries, because that's what they are, and it really fit well for the campaign serial. While the kickstarter for this never got off the ground I always kept them in the back my mind to use later as an interesting race. And when I pitched Michael McCarthy the original concept of this I wanted to add in the Kaylethon again and bring them back into the light. And here we are several years after the original creation I finally got the sourcebook for them done and completed. and with that to give you a little more excitement here are the first four pages of the PDF so you can at least see and get an idea where we're trying to go with this race. I hope you enjoy it and as always thank you for your support for this Kickstarter.
