Well +Bruce Heard has finally given us, or will give us, our first Flying Circus!
Calidar: Dreams of Aerie
I mean seriously, how cool is this idea?
A circus, that flies. An entire mini-campaign setting, monsters, murder mystery, weird stuff!
Sounds absolutely fantastic to be honest.
From the Kickstarter page:
Adventure: This tabletop role-playing game adventure also is a self-contained mini-setting. Because the action takes place on a flying circus, Dreams of Aerie is easy to adapt to any game world. Drawing on Barnum & Bailey and Cirque du Freak, this book's main plot elements involve a murder mystery, the rivalries of circus guilds, urban adventuring, and monster-hunting. Countless hooks allow side trips and alternate storylines, as each of the 90+ circus folk hide shadowy pasts and secret motivations. The heroes must contend with secret societies vying for hegemony among circus folk. If left to its own devices, a monstrous presence hidden aboard heralds catastrophic world events.
Plus it is system agnostic. So use D&D. Use Castles & Crusades. Use Swords & Wizardry. Heck, I am going to try it out under Blue Rose.
For me, there are some great Ravenloft books out there that are also circus themed. Sounds like a GREAT mix to me.
This looks awesome and you should support it.
Bruce has a rock solid reputation in the RPG biz and with his Kickstarters. PLUS all these Calidar books have been top notch in terms of production.
They are also all great books to game with.
So. What are you waiting for. Time to join the circus!!
