Unlock the Mysteries of Mistgate: An Adventure in Crowdfunding

Welcome, adventurers and storytellers! Today, marks an important milestone in the story of Mistgate, a rich and dynamic science fantasy setting that is compatible with and offers a fresh take on rules you know and love in the 5th Edition of D&D. As the creator and visionary behind Mistgate, I am thrilled to announce the upcoming pre-launch of our crowdsource funding campaign that will pave the way to bringing Mistgate to the market. The pre-launch Kickstarter page will go online in February 2024 and the campaign will go live in March 2024.

Discovering the Essence of Mistgate

At its core, Mistgate introduces a world shaped by cataclysmic events, where magic, technology, and the unknown converge to form a tapestry of endless possibilities. The Mistgate setting is a playground for exploration, weaving together elements of science and fantasy in a way that captures the imagination while challenging the very fabric of reality.

Mistgate is designed to be flexible, offering a range of narratives that can focus on macro conflicts, ancient discoveries, exploration, and personal journeys. The world is divided between Theia, a realm scarred by a cataclysmic event, and the Mists, a multiverse of fractured realms accessible through magical events known as schisms. The Mists, with its boundless potential, provide storytellers with the freedom to craft unique and unforgettable adventures.

Central to Mistgate is the spirit of adventure, with a strong foundation in the exploration of ancient ruins and the mysterious Mists. The world is divided into the Known World, the frontier, and the imperial lands, each offering a distinct and captivating backdrop for your tales. From the Shattered Coasts to the Guild Marches, Mistgate presents diverse landscapes that dramatically impact your experiences and the stories you uncover.

Magic, Guns, and Swords

Mistgate seamlessly blends elements of science and fantasy, with cultures ranging from medieval-inspired realms to those reminiscent of the European Renaissance. The setting is in the midst of a magical renaissance, rediscovering ancient technologies fueled by magic. This resurgence has sparked an arms race among nations, introducing a captivating dynamic that adds depth and complexity to Mistgate's evolving world.

What sets Mistgate apart is its nuanced approach to divinity, religion, and faith. Unlike traditional high fantasy settings, Mistgate treats the divine as a true exercise of faith, offering a more realistic representation of religion in the world. Cultures and religions in Mistgate believe in their icons with unwavering conviction, allowing for a diverse array of perspectives and narratives that mirror our own world's complexity.
