“The Creator’s Compendium,” a Kickstarter project by Sidereal Venture, has significantly exceeded its funding goal, amassing over $17,000 from a $2,500 target, with 27 days remaining until its completion on March 29. The project, which has attracted 250 backers so far, is a comprehensive guide aimed at storytellers, game masters, fiction writers, and those with an interest in astronomy.

Authored by an astrophysicist and adorned with engaging illustrations and a touch of humor, the guide serves as a scientifically accurate, system-agnostic resource for crafting authentic narratives and worlds. Covering a range of cosmic phenomena from cryovolcanoes to wormholes, the compendium seeks to ignite the imagination with thought-provoking questions about the universe.

Mareesha’s Cosmic Curiosities,” a 5E supplement co-authored with Eventyr Games, complements the main compendium by translating cosmic concepts into elements for the Dungeons & Dragons game, including monsters, magic items, and player options.
