As we chart our course through the creation of new subclasses, let us set our spyglasses on another realm ripe for adventure:
The Book of Spirits.
Inspired by the rich narratives of Dragon Age and Stormlight Archive, The Book of Spirits introduces a new dimension of magic in D&D. Here, you can fight alongside or against spirits that manifest from human emotions, navigate the perilous Spirit Realm, and utilize the innovative Resonance System to impact battles through your character's emotional depth.

Together, we’re diving into the creative heart of The Captain's Logbook to develop a new subclass!
But first, you’ll need to know about the existing subclasses we have prepared for you in The Captain’s Logbook:
Barbarian - Path of the Marauder: Embody the wrath of the Marauder that strikes fear into the hearts, turning villages to ashes under the banner of loot and glory.
Ranger - The Wakecaller: Harness the mysterious powers of the sea's depths, calling upon its creatures and the wrath of the waves.
Cleric - The Archivist: Invoke the wisdom contained within sacred texts, channeling divine power through the knowledge of the past.
Fighter - The Corsair: Wield the saber and the cannon with unmatched skill, blending martial prowess with naval expertise to dominate the battlefield.
Wizard - School of Weather: Utilize the power of the wind, rains, and storms to destroy your enemies and empower your part.
Now that you know what’s in store, we’ll need a class to work on with Ryker… so cast your anchor—ahem, vote—now!

Treasure Unlocked #10: Logbook Case with Puzzle!

– Sun, Apr 07, 2024 at 09:38:37 AM
Ahoy, adventurers!
Great news from the deck: we've unlocked the Logbook Case with Puzzle stretch goal!
This isn't just a case to protect your logbook; it's the beginning of a new adventure. Inside, you'll find an intricate puzzle that promises to challenge your wit and reveal hidden secrets.
We're keeping the details under wraps to avoid spoilers, but expect a layer of extra manipulation and mystery, as solving this puzzle will unveil hidden depths and new secrets within "The Captain's Logbook."
Encountering the Tidebreaker Serpent
As a captain, you need to be prepared for rough waters and storms.
But you can never prepare when the waters grow quiet and the winds suddenly still.
~ Captain Eldrin
The further out your crew travels, the more likely you are to come across the monsters typically relegated to quickly-inked images on map edges. The aptly named Tidebreaker Serpent is one such monster, given its propensity for sinking unaware ships and crew.
What's on the Horizon
Stay tuned, as we're soon unveiling our next stretch goal: Create a Subclass, where you'll help design an extra subclass during a YouTube livestream. This is your chance to directly influence our world's lore and legacy.
We’ve been busy working behind the scenes and are happy to announce a collaboration with Ryker from The Cleric Corner on YouTube.
Prepare to cast your votes and join us as we conjure something truly special.

Monstrous Milestone Achieved: Stretch Goal Unlocked!

There are urgent cries from the Crow’s Nest: Monsters off the starboard bow!
Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve sailed through yet another milestone and unlocked the Monster STL Files stretch goal, allowing you to add a new dimension of terror and excitement to your tabletop adventures.
What Lies Beneath: The Monster STL Files
Prepare to bring the creatures of the deep to life! This stretch goal grants you access to 4 exclusive STL files for 3D printing, featuring fearsome monsters ready to challenge your adventurers. Crafted with detail and menace, each monster STL is perfect for adding a tangible element of suspense and engagement to your tabletop encounters.
Here's a sneak peek at our first STL file, the Fishfolk guard
Blood Shark Undine Sneak Peek
Following our monstrous reveal, we're diving deeper into the uncharted waters of our expansive world by introducing our new race: the Shark Blood Undine. They embody the grace of the sea with all the ruthlessness of the shark.
Origin: Blood Shark Undines are the descendants of an ancient pact between merfolk sorcerers and the spirits of the mightiest sharks. This pact was sealed to protect the ocean's depths from dire threats, infusing selected merfolk with the essence of sharks. Over generations, these beings have become a distinct race known for their guardianship of the ocean's darkest secrets and fierce defense of its inhabitants.
Appearance: Blood Shark Undines have streamlined, muscular bodies covered in minute scales that range from dark gray to deep blue, often marked with patterns reminiscent of their shark ancestors. The shape of their head ranges from humanoid to almost entirely shark-like. Regardless of the shape, they possess formidable shark-like teeth and eyes that gleam with predatory intelligence. Their hands and feet are webbed, with slightly elongated, sharp nails, while fin-like structures run along their arms, backs, and sides of their heads, aiding in swift underwater movement.
Culture: Blood Shark Undine societies are warrior-based, with a strong emphasis on martial prowess and the protection of the sea. They organize themselves into clans, each led by its strongest warrior, and challenges for this spot are frequent. Despite their aggressive nature, they deeply respect the ocean's balance and are known to intervene only when the sea's harmony becomes threatened. They are often viewed as guardians by other aquatic races, albeit fearsome ones.
