If I had the necessary design software, I think I would have to create a “Germano-Friendly” badge for campaign settings.

We aim to please. Also, the setting is Germano-friendly.

Seriously, the design work on this will not begin until February 1, so if you can join at the beginning of the month, you’re fine.

And given the size of the project, even joining a little late means you don’t miss too much. It’s a big world!

This is good to know as I’m actually in the same situation as David and won’t be able to join the fun before the beginning of the next month.

By the way, as a Protestant german I really appreciate the inclusion of the “95 Thesen” into the setting.

David,

I don’t think there is a finite number of patrons, so I think you can join later (the ranks don’t close). The price might go up later, Wolfgang would know better, but I’ve never seen the increase be severe.

Of course, early is best if you can. We decide priorities and such, and its fun to be in on the ground floor.

Man, what a great set of design boundaries. I want so badly to be a part of this one. Here’s hoping a few gold pieces free up before the patronage ranks close.

UHF, as Jim said, patrons choose the system. Those who sign up make the call.

M8Adam, it’s going to be interesting indeed. I think the designers have an angle to make it happen in a good way. Much more on that topic in the patron forum.

I’m extremely excited to see what OD does in terms of developing a dynamic setting, where nations may fall, leadership will change hands, and landmarks will rise or fall. I really want to offer a world like that to my players, but it’s extremely daunting to undertake determining how a single event can ripple across a continent. I’m sure OD is up to the task though!!

@ UHF – That has not been decided yet. Pathfinder is in the lead. Dragon Age and 4E are in the running.

There has been strong discussion about doing a ‘Freeport’ style version where the Campaign book is systemless, but then there is a seperate books with specific mechanics for the system you like.

But ultimately, as of this writing, that is still be determined. Patrons are given many voting options.
