CAL1 Conversion Booklets

After nearly a month since I ordered the print proofs, they finally got delivered on July 2nd. They both look good. Numbered "CAL1a" and CAL1b," these books provide all the game stats from earlier titles for use with Labyrinth Lord and the OSRIC system respectively. The stats come from CAL1 "In Stranger Skies," PG1 "A Players' Guide to Meryath," and CA1 "Dreams of Aerie," which constitute Calidar's Series 1. They go a bit further since they actually include game stats that weren't available in the original gazetteer, so that's a big plus.

CAL1a and CAL1b came out *after* CAL2a and CAL2b which cover the three books in Series 2: CAL2 "On Wings of Darkness," PG2 "A Players' Guide to Caldwen," and CA2 "How to Train your Wizard." The reason for this is that PG1 did not yet exist at the time Series 2 was completed. PG1 was a retrofitted into Calidar's title line up, so I could organize them into Series (one gazetteer, one players' guide, and one adventure each). Once PG1 was born, CAL1a and CAL1b could finally come through.

This being said, product bundles available from DTRPG are being split accordingly, resulting in separate bundles for Series 1 and Series 2, which should be more manageable. Calidar's page on DTRPG has been reorganized to help sort out its growing list of titles. Click here for more about the existing series and what comes next.

The only hiccup in all this is that CAL1a and CAL1b each have an extra blank sheet in the back, for whatever reason. This wasn't intended. Given the situation with Covid-19 and the production delays resulting from it, I'm not going to withhold these two conversion books to fix the irksome issue at this time. So there! You have an extra sheet for notes, front and back!

Previous Kickstarter Backers: These conversion booklets were not included in the kickstarters for CAL1 or CAL2. If you were a backer in either of them, you'll need to obtain these two titles separately through DTRPG.
