Adopt an Ancient Magical Artefact

Here is the link to my fundraiser on kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ancientmagic/the-archaeology-of-ancient-magic-and-ritual-practice


Here is the list of the ancient magical artefacts that can be adopted! I will successively expand it in the course of the fundraiser. You can always suggest an artefact that is not on the list, just send me an email: kd@charakteres.com.

Adopting an artefact means you enable me to include this artefact into my work for the Sourcebook and the Catalogue. As Thank You I will include your name on each side of the Sourcebook where the artefact is described (usually three pages, see example page in the story). You can either choose from this list of artefacts or you can write to me if there is an artefact you would like to adopt which is not on the list. Or you leave it to fate and get surprised when you receive the Sourcebook 🙂

If you have any questions concerning the artefact you would like to or consider to adopt, you can send me an email or post your question on Twitter @antikemagie 🙂

Best thing to do is to send a me a short message prior to your pledge concerning your choice so that I can make a note in this list.
