Kalusa: The Enchanted City – social sandbox in an diverse, arcanepunk city
Exploring the "social pillar"!
New arcanepunk campaign set in a cosmopolitan city of wizards and magical cats, written as system neutral but with supplements for 5e, Savage Worlds and a custom Forged in the Dark hack – exploring the "social pillar" of fantasy gaming by including diverse cast of NPCs written to be both interesting and interactive, as well as faction play and encounters that introduce it all into the actual play.
The campaign offers non-linear adventures flexibly tying into an epic campaign that takes the players from the destitute slums in Kalusian Docks to the highest towers of the city's wizarding elite. Built around player's agenda and gamemaster's convenience, it offers hooks, mysteries and obstacles, but doesn't force you to follow any single plotline.
Main points:
- 33 detailed NPCs to interact with, with full-colored portaits and plenty of hooks to get your players invested
- a much larger supporting cast with rich faction play
- 16-non-linear adventures with many sidequests to connect it all into a sandbox campaign
- arcanepunk setting written to allow for a large degree of flexibility and player agenda
- fantasy that is not afraid to balance serious themes and whimsical humor
- and lots od magical cats!
What started in Prague, Czechia as a home campaign that tried to emulate the character focus of Dragon Age: Origins evolved in the last 15 years into a large project with two modules already published in Czech. Crowdfunding campaign is now live to fund an English translation and printing of a new fully illustrated edition.
