Jim, thanks for pointing out the info came from a long discussion. That IS the beauty of Open Design projects. I’m glad you won out on the shapeshifters, and I hope you find my take on the morphoi to your liking. I’ll be seeing ya on the ship!

Some fear the blank map. The emptiness intimidates their creative genesis. Then there are those for whom the blank map is a dreamscape canvas from which their churn of creative energies finds it’s objective. How exciting!

You have your shapeshifters, Mr. Groves. And they are glorious and richly strange. I expect many of the project’s other backers will also bring cool stuff to the table.

We’ll hear mermaids singing, and the cyclops roaring soon. I’m setting up the project forums over the holiday weekend!

And actually, the Isle of Morphoi was born out of a long drawn out series of fierce discussions between patrons, which Brandon transformed into something cool.

I’m not correcting you Christina, but I’m emphasizing the collaborative nature of these projects. Brandon deserves full and glorious credit for making fire out of clay.. but we all gave him the clay.

I gotta say that also because I nagged for two months solid that we needed a race of shapeshifters in the campaign setting.

But that point is not self-aggrandizement (or not *just* that) but rather to illustrate that in an Open Design project anybody can have an influence. So why not join today? Even a modest investment can yield surprising results.

Awesome! Here’s hoping that the funding doesn’t stop! That glossy map sure would be great. This looks to be the best project ever!
