 What's Next

Once we have distributed all of our digital rewards (see above), we're planning to start releasing new content for the Vodari campaign setting. We're looking at releasing content on a regular basis (monthly/quarterly) that could include any of the following:

  • encounter scenarios or short adventures
  • NPCs and monsters 
  • magic items and other treasure
  • player options (subclasses, backgrounds, feats, spells, etc.)
  • vehicles and crews
  • rules and advice for gamemasters
  • expanded details for existing settlements (maps, locations, NPCs, etc.)
  • locations to visit (undersea ruins, undiscovered islands, etc.)

We're also deciding on which format is best format for distributing this new content to everyone. The options we're looking at are Patreon, digital bookstores (DTRPG, Tribality Store), or even short Kickstarter campaigns.

Let us know what new content you'd like to see released for the Vodari campaign setting.
