The LIMINARC 01 - The Relativistic Caravan

Sometimes even teleportation doesn't cut it

Hello all, and welcome to Borough Bound's newest setting! The LIMINARC is a fleet of airships used by the interdimensional postal service LIMINA. These ships traverse the multiverse, visiting previous boroughs and unknown locales, connecting Highly Magical Individuals in an ever-expanding postal network.

This setting is a bit of a departure for us for a number of reasons:

In lieu of one massive map, this setting consists of oodles of individual airship assets as well as dozens of backgrounds that you can use in conjunction with those airships (or on their own!).
Instead of releasing the LIMINARC all at once, we will occasionally return to this setting in between releases of our other boroughs. We're going to release LIMINARC 01 and 02 this month before unveiling our magic school setting in August.
Due to the nature of this ongoing content, we will (probably) not release a "Definitive Edition" of the LIMINARC. Instead, we'll start working on the Foundry module once we finish up Ithivellia and gradually update it whenever we create new LIMINARC content.

ALSO: Please fill out our patron survey if you haven't yet! It's only open until Monday and we extremely curious to hear your thoughts.

Borough Guide

This first borough guide reintroduces you to LIMINA (Limitless Interdimensional Messengers Instatiated Near and Afar). Normally, couriers teleport from realm to realm to complete their deliveries, but sometimes teleportation is not an option. When that's the case, they take the LIMINARC, a modular fleet of airships, to accomplish their task. This guide gives you all of the basics you need to introduce the LIMINARC into your campaign: an overview of how to use LIMINA in a tabletop setting, descriptions of our first four airships, their technical specs, and some hints as to greater mysteries within Borough Bound's wider lore.

Maps

First up, we've got four airships: Visitor 1, The Echowake, Chowbarge, and Zephyr-Class Deliveryship. Patrons at the Delivery Kid tier get access to all of these ships flying through the sky. Patrons at the General Messenger tier and above also get those four airships as separate pngs.

We also provide quite a few backgrounds: space, plains, space, ocean, desert, and astral plane. These maps are big enough to use on their own, and we imagine quite a few of you will use these totally indepent of the airship assets. Patrons at the Delivery Kid tier get access to the plains and space backgrounds, while those at higher tiers get access to the full suite of background.

Note: This first batch of backgrounds is similar to our normal maps, but next week's batch will be tileable such that you can make maps as large as you want just by using copying and pasting them in a grid!

Finally, patrons at the Chief Courier tier and up get access to 3 floors of interiors for The Echowake and Chowbarge. With all of these intererors, it should be easy to run full quest arcs aboard these ships.

Music

Okay, we went a bit extra this time. "Pneumatic Pulse Drive" is the theme song for your next interdimensional postman campaign, a propulsive, jazzy, electronic bop. If this doesn't get your players stoked to deliver some packages across the vast expanse of the multiverse, then we don't know what will. We also provide a combat variant and more relaxed "cosmic" variant for less intense moments of play.
