Wildest Shape is Live on Backerkit for Zinetopia
New D&D 5E subclass lets your Druid Wild Shape into themselves, but from another universe!
Wildest Shape gives D&D players everything they need to play a Circle of the Fractured Path Druid and take the form of their own variant selves from across the multiverse.
In one timeline, you’re a Rogue. In another, you’ve mastered arcane spellcraft. In a more distant reality, you’re born of solid iron. As Druids level up, they unlock more alternate selves.
Wildest Shape contains...
- Rules for the Circle of the Fractured Path druid subclass: a fun, powerful, and playable subclass for fifth-edition
- A dozen pregenerated variants of your Druid drawn from the multiverse - forms you can take when the need is great
- A guide for creating each Druid's unique Fractured Talisman - a magic amulet which levels up and gains power as your Fractured Path druid does
- New species/lineages including the Ashlar stone folk and the Chitinous shelled ones.
- New spells and cantrips like What If? and Glimpse
- New magic items like the Looking Glass and the Paradox Coin
- New creatures like the Haphazzard and the Evil Twin
The PDF download is just $5, the zine is $20, and the hardcover version is $30 - with Early Bird discounts available.
Everything in Wildest Shape is written and illustrated by Steve Conley.
Leaving Kickstarter for Backerkit
Steve has been crowdfunding for more than a decade on Kickstarter and recently switched over to the A.I.-prohibiting Backerkit, a decision he explained in a Patreon update earlier this year.
“I've found it increasingly difficult to cross-promote with other campaigns on Kickstarter since it seems like most of the TTRPG projects include A.I. slop.”
“I don't make million-dollar projects. I'm off in my little corner of the TTRPG space crafting fun, indie zines. It sucks that the platform that helped make my fledgling gaming career possible is getting swamped with that stuff. It's really disheartening.”
“I was super happy to jump over to Backerkit where A.I. is prohibited.”
“After 12 successful projects on Kickstarter over 14 years, I’m not taking this step lightly. I’m not going to lie, I was nervous about the switch.”
With 215 backers on day 7, Wildest Shape is on track to be one of Steve’s most popular 5E projects.
“So far, I’m relieved to find my audience has followed me and new gamers are finding me.”
Wildest Shape is live now on Backerkit and - like all 63 Zinetopia campaigns - ends on Friday, Feb 27.
