A companion volume to their gorgeous
Book of Contemporary Magical Things,
The Book Of Contemporary Magical Places is a newly-launched Kickstarter project from British RPG publishers Stygian Fox.
The initial target - hit within hours - was £2,000 and the campaign runs until December 9, with a selection of stretch goals at £5,000 intervals, adding extra value to the book with more material.
The text for book is already complete, and much of the art is currently in-house; the funds being crowdsourced are to hire a layout artist to make the book look magical.
The campaign's Kickstarter page describes The Book of Contemporary Magical Places as:
"... 100 pages of modern, seemingly normal locations that hold magical power. Some are barely noticeable; the Graveyard of Whispers acts as a one-way radio to the dead beneath. Some are powerful places like Jim Tang's Bar which exists in many space/time bubbles at once enabling patrons to visit a 1920s speakeasy, a punk rock club, a drum and bass club, and a booth bar from 2077 all at once, enabling you to drink a Rheingold™ while listening and dancing to Liquidity with flappers from 1923. A few are extremely powerful, such as Tower Bridge in London, protecting the city and the wider world from extra-dimensional incursion.
From a single seat on a bus to multiverse-shattering monolithic temples, these places are there for you to use as a Gamesmaster in your modern, horror, sci-fi, or superhero campaigns.
Organised into a pyramid format, the places vary in power from many slight and seemingly harmless effects to a few locations of great power, so dangerous that mere mortals should not be allowed near them.
...
The sections are entirely systemless so you can alter them to fit in with your rules or setting to your heart's content. Each entry has an image of the location, a small inset map showing where it is (if it has a single location), and its benefits will be highlighted in green, its dangers in red, and its current location in blue, enabling you to pick up what you need from the entry at a moment's notice."
