The Rituals of Choice Adventure Path Patronage Project
The ultimate goal of which is to create a campaign saga that takes player characters from 1st to 25th level with an adventure specifically designed for Monte Cook’s Arcana Evolved.
Volume 1 Part 1: "A Witch's Choice"
The Rituals of Choice Adventure Path begins in the town of Far-rough and continues into the surrounding Edgelands bordering the Central Plains, Floating Forest, and the Bitter Peaks. In a time of looming war between the Dragons and the Giants, a few select people in Far-Rough have strange-shared dreams of a golden jackal. Taking them for a sign, a father now seeks escorts for a journey to Tesham's Landing, a mystical witching site that will help cure his afflicted daughter.
In the days that follow, a quest must be pledged to or renounced, a woman saved or damned, an autistic accepted or abandoned, a ritual may be preformed that saves a single soul or damns the world. The PCs will face all of these choices, responsibilities, and consequences.
"A Witch's Choice" is a Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved adventure designed for four 1st-level characters. Characters will advance to 2nd level by the end of the adventure. It is the first installment in the Rituals of Choice Adventure Path, a complete campaign saga consisting of 25 adventures.
What is patronage? Patronage is similar to a preorder except you get direct input and access to the product before the product is released. You get both the product, and all of the benefits of an alpha and beta test, with senior patrons having even greater access, and making actual changes in the design itself.
What are the benefits of patronage? You get the access to help create the kind of adventure path, you want to run, you have all the behind the scenes inherent in its creation, You will even get input in the kinds of encounters, game mechanics, and stories that will be told, along with the opportunity to playtest the adventures. The pdf copy of the book will also never sell for less than $10.00 to the general public (no sales, no half off coupons etc) so you as a patron your getting all these extras for free. The general public will also never be able to buy the print on demand copy at cost, so you can buy multiple copies and give one to friends that would like to play.
