This post details the anticipated perks. Depending on the number of subscriptions, and other fan feedback, the actual perks list may be adjusted along the way. I will edit this post as we revise the perks of various subscription levels (and post an update).
Apprentice-level supporters get:
- At least an article a month. An article might mean: A covenant, a full character, creatures and beings of different realms, a few spells, some regional vis source ideas, an adventure site, etc.
The scope of the accessible project intended for the apprentice-level is envisioned to include, at a minimum:
-
A dozen hermetic sites, including Blood and Sand covenants reviewed for 5th edition and expanded to include more information on those sites - a level of details similar to what you would expect for a covenant in 5th edition (Name, Covenant symbol, History, Description, Magis detailed with personality traits and a paragraph or two, a paragraph for covenfolk & companions).
-
At least 3 solomonic houses of wisdom that might interact with hermetic covenants, with a similar level of details;
-
2-3 fleshed out NPCs;
-
2-3 fleshed out adventure sites, at least one of which could be viable to turn into a covenant site, and additional story hooks a GM can use for a Levant campaign.
Magi-level supporters get:
As above, plus:
- All hermetic covenants and solomonic houses of wisdom will come fleshed out with covenant illustrations, floor maps and regional maps and 1 complete NPC.
- At least one covenant is fully fleshed out TTA-style with complete NPCs, a library, boons and hooks, vis sources, etc.
- Independent magis added;
- At least 6 solomonic house of wisdoms;
- Additional articles, or expanded articles.
Master-level supporters get:
As above, plus:
- At least 6 hermetic covenants and 3 solomonic houses of wisdom are fully fleshed out, TTA-style, to be usable out of the box.
- The inclusion of other minor traditions, possibly including: some of the Elementalist societies, mythic alchemists, Mazdeans and practitioners of other realms
- Access to additional illustrations at this level, include some high definition one, this includes greyscale full-sized maps for covenants;
- Some Non-Levant material will be made available starting at this level. The first non-Levant material that will be made available is access to an app made by Lothindil to generate custom heraldic shields, with over a hundred symbols, customizable in color and split that can be used, for example, to customize your home game maps by importing the design for your noble estates which can be created in little time. This is non-open license and can be used in other RPGs. This will likely involve access to ars magicka tools and resources created for our home games at a later stage. How much non-Levant material will remain to be seen - the focus is the WotD project, but the idea is not to charge you in two different places.
Archmagi-level supporters get:
As above, plus:
- Most if not all the covenants fleshed out TTA-style;
- More solomonic houses of wisdom equally fleshed out, and the addition of additional solomonic content that can be used in a solomonic centered campaign, such as the addition of major characters fully fleshed out, or sahirs that can be introduced in an area of your choice (since unlike the OoH, it's not reasonable to fully develop a thousand sahir);
- Many magi and sahirs will be created Magi of Hermes style, with past progressions covering specific dates that can be used as alternate starting point for the Campaign. The idea is also that, if you have 50 magi provided at various age, the likelihood you can adapt a fair number of them to your home Campaign outside the Levant with minor tweaks would be fairly high. Future magi progression might be provided at a later stage, but the priority will be the 1220 setting.
- Custom mysteries, hedge or ancient magic traditions, such as an exploration the magic of Sumer.
- Access to additional illustrations at this level, for example, large colorscale covenant maps and magi portraits.
- Alternative version of special characters, in particular where these alternative versions have strong story implications. As an example, think of the infernally corrupted magi included in some tribunal sourcebook.
The patreon is geared so that the bulk of the content is oriented towards higher level, enabling us to create the product we want to see born, while allowing folks who are not willing to commit this much money to still chip in and get something that looks like a normal tribunal sourcebook. As a comparison, the first covenant's file is 3 page long for apprentice, 6 page long for magi, the current master's version under development is anticipated to be over 30 pages once completed.
If the Community support is sufficient, I would like to support Errata later down the road towards completion.
