WE JUST HIT €100k! Thank you all so much for your incredible support. This means that Elaine Lithgow will be lending her considerable talents to Beyond the Woods and creating a new adventure for the Tír Nascath Setting Guide. Elaine is a fantastic adventure writer and I can’t wait to see what she cooks up.
Our next stretch goal is €125k and will add 10 new Talents. What are Talents? Glad you asked! Talents allow for greater customisation and choice as you create and level up with your character. Talents are roughly equivalent in power to half a feat — for example, they might grant you proficiency in a new type of armour, but they won’t give you the ability score bonus you get with the Lightly Armoured feat from standard 5e. Beyond the Woods also has feats, but Talents are smaller, more flavourful boons that your character can acquire to give them a leg up on their explorations.
Thank you again for your amazing support! Be sure to join the discord and follow us on socials here.
