Kick ALL the Starters Part II

[Mamorien]

It'd been running for a week as of this afternoon, so it's probably time I mentioned the latest campaign for a Storypath game.

Do not concern yourself with what’s above you. From here on out, the only way forward is down.

The World Below provides. But you must dig. You must explore. You must map. You must build. You must defend. The World Below provides, but only to the worthy.

Your surroundings are horrific and wondrous. Extract gemstones and find natural springs of nourishing water, but be cautious: excavate too far, and you’ll wake the creatures in the walls, the caves, and the Dark.

The World Below is a game of adversity, heroism, terror, and awe. Your characters will overcome or be defeated by terrible beasts, environmental calamities, and Kaos storms ravaging their surroundings and the souls around them. They will chart their journeys, chronicle their tales, and pass their stories down to their descendants, who will in turn become your characters when your old ones perish or retire.

Expect threats and risks, joys, and discoveries. The World Below promises a hard, harsh existence, but when the light of hope gleams in the thick darkness, it feels as bright as the sun.

Stretch goals unlocked so far: a backer T-shirt on Redbubble, a starting scenario (Delving Deep into the World Below), an alternate design for the messenger bag that's available in certain mid-range pledge levels or as an add-on to lesser pledges, and a supplement in which the Ed Greenwood, who was already working on the project, revives the spirit of his old Monstrous Ecology series from Dragon to "some of the common colossal bugs, monstrous entities, and carnivorous beasts dwelling in the World Below".
