The prelaunch page for Songbirds 3e is live. You can go follow it to be informed the moment the campaign goes live. Which will be soon. Very soon.
If you scrolled down past the picture of the Songbirds cover, then you’re in luck! I have some great things to tell you that I haven’t shared with anyone but the editor of Songbirds. Well, first of all, here’s the cover of Songbirds Red, which is a kickstarter exclusive version of the game with ALTERNATE TEXT!
Both of these covers are done by Char (@basilisika on twitter).
What is Songbirds Red? Well, I’m glad you asked. It is *not* just an alternate cover. It is not just a new coat of interior paint (though it will be red inside instead of blue). It is not just a gimmick! It is an extension of the game. It is in conversation with Songbirds Blue. It questions Songbirds Blue and affirms it at the same time.
Now that’s all romantic and cool, but how does it do that? Again, glad you asked. Here’s what’s different:
Introduction text
Massive Damage Table
Gifts/Curses (10 new ones!)
Otherworldly Pacts (All new!)
10 new Body Mods
4 new Tomes (so 12 new spells!)
2 new types of magic!
Summons (6 new ones!)
And, uh, Vampirism. It takes the space Psychic Powers took in Blue >.>
Yes, this means that you should buy both cause the two of them together will have tons of options for your players and help fire more cylinders in your brain for worldbuilding.
No, you don’t actually have to but it would be dope if you did.
What *is* happening is that backers for each color will be tallied because whichever version gets the MOST BACKERS will get EXTRA STUFF! Like, you get to be number-one-top-dog, you get some Kickstarter exclusive stickers, and a small, in-game boon that you can use during your next game.
So, like, I’m very excited for this and I hope you are too. This project will basically decide what the rest of my year will be like. I’m very anxious (which is normal) and worried (also normal) but I have nearly unlimited faith in this game. It’s My Game. It’s my adventure game. My dungeon crawler. And so much more.
The PDF will always be free, so please pick it up in anticipation for the launch and go follow the page!
Wiz. Just to confirm—if I already grabbed one from the limited print run of Blue (#21!), it's the same as the Blue on offer on KS and I should just get Red, yeah?
What exactly is Blue compared to the current print run? Is it different in any way? Definitely getting Red but wondering if I want Blue too.
