SEAFARER MINI UNLOCKED!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Dec 11, 2020 at 12:24:50 AM

ALL SEEKER MINIS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED

And will be added to the Keeper's Path! Thank you for getting involved with this amazing game. It's because of you, that we are this far. The Seafarer is a 58mm mini that features a four-armed Seafarer on a living skiff. The boats suck in water through their mouth and spits it out the back for propulsion. There is a piece of crustacean living gear on his chest called a RAGE PLATE. IT pumps him full of fluid in a fight, enhancing his strength and health, but then causes him to pass out after ten rounds.

NEXT STRETCH GOAL ANNOUNCED - $80K

Because you demanded it, when this stretch goal is unlocked we are upgrading the campaign module, THE SEED OF GAIA, from a PDF to a print version. This applies to all day-one backers who backed a print tier. This also applies to anyone who added-on the module to a print tier of any kind. We are also upgrading the module by adding three highly detailed maps, one for each story. So, if you took the Digital Path, it will still have an upgrade.

ASUNDER: PURE LIGHT
over 3 years ago – Wed, Dec 09, 2020 at 09:43:32 PM

TOUCHED BY THE HEAVENS

There is a phenomenon that occurs in Asunder called the Pure Light. This is a large shaft of light that shoots down from the heavens in a column. What causes it, no one knows, but many believe they have the answer. Where it strikes the ground, it transforms the earth into glass. This is not like substances we know. It is more dense and rigid and often takes on a color. Something more like an uncut gem. This substance is generally illegal on Asunder because of the sharp blades that can be made from it and it's unique ability to hold Chaos within it. These Chaos Shards can distort reality or blow up city blocks. 

SOME BELIEVE THE LIGHT IS DIVINE

There are cults throughout the land that believe the Pure Light is a parting gift from the Gods, and if one can but touch its rays, they can be transformed into a holy being. Some call this insanity as the Pure Light devastates anything it touches, like an enormous bolt of lightning. But the belief persists because, as impossible as it may be, on occasion, someone is transformed.


For Seekers, LIGHT TOUCHED is a Path they can take; allowing them to be a survivor of the Pure Light. The transformation grants them unique gifts giving them the power to see into the future or divine the location of hidden things. But it does come with a cost. As seen below, one's arms may be turned to glass, or their skin may become translucent. No two experience it the same. 

A Pure Light Cultist is transformed by her first experience with the Light.

ASUNDER: PACARI BEAST MASTER
over 3 years ago – Tue, Dec 08, 2020 at 11:14:42 PM

FIGHT LIKE A BEAST


 The people of Pacari's Essence bonded with the beasts of the land, allowing them to take on their aspects and command them. This is done through their two Essence Trees, Beast Aspect and Beast Bond. Each Pacari Seeker selects a bondmate of their own design. It may have various traits such as Flyer, Climber, Poisonous, or Swimmer. The larger the beast, the fewer abilities, but the more health they have and damage they cause.


The nature of the animal they bond with also affects their stats. People bonding with great cats may increase their agility, those bonding with six-horned rhinos may gain a plus two defense, and those bonded to Red Hawks may gain additional perception. Their tribes tend to shape their way of life around the nature of the animal most commonly bonded with. Though some Pacarian's bond with many.


The beasts of Asunder are limitless and can be prehistoric in their strength and size. Some are even dinosaur-like. While most Pacarian's can be quite savage, other tribes bond with more gentle animals, making the people of Pacari quite varied. A child chooses their bondmate during their early teenage years, and those who develop no bond are often cast out. There is a tribe that seeks out these outcasts to form their own safe haven.

A Beast Master stands with his pack.

ASUNDER: THE MOTHER OF DEMONS
over 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 07, 2020 at 10:13:25 PM

THE MOTHER OF DEMONS

It is said her entire Naga clutch was murdered by humans from a nearby village, retaliation for an imagined crime. She alone survived, and she swore vengeance. She attacked the first merchant caravan she came across in her rage, killing half of them, but she was mortally wounded by one of the caravan guards and left for dead by the side of the road. That’s when the demon came to her and offered her a bargain. Now, she has a new clutch made up of demons who do her bidding, laying waste to isolated settlements throughout the world, gathering strength for ever more brazen attacks. 


A Naga who leads demons is one of the many unique characters that fill the world of Asunder. They are detailed in the Keeper's Tome so you can add intrigue wherever your Seekers go for answers. Each region is filled with dangerous and mysterious power-seeking figures. Some can become allies, some you must outsmart, and others you must run from.

SKY CITY MINI UNLOCKED!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Dec 06, 2020 at 11:22:07 PM

WE JUST UNLOCKED THE SKIMMER MINI

The Keepers Path just got more exciting and now comes with 5 Seeker minis! The skimmers of Sky City can leap ten times the distance of an average human due to their Essence bond with the Blice Crystals. These ancient crystals alter gravity and are the reason their islands float in the sky. They can descend distances of 30 feet with no damage and can move with incredible speed. Later Essence bond abilities allow for Sky Dancing, a unique form of combat enabling them to alter the weight of their weapons and themselves to make them appear like a tornado with blades.

WE UNLOCK THE NEXT MINI AT $72k

The Seafarer's Essence bonded with the waters and resulted in mutations. Each Seafarer has their own unique one, and as they advance in levels can acquire more. A mutation to enhance strength may result in additional limbs, or a mutation that allows for water breathing may result in gills. No two Seafarers looks the same. They are distrusted on the Mainland, but masters of the water.
