The Book of Elder Magic
It's amazing that we have reached nearly 200 backers and exceeded both funding goals. That means we can invest even more in art and presentation to make CoZ the best possible product!
There's also one Champions of ZED product many of you may not be aware of even though it was published last fall: The Book of Elder Magic contains all the Champions of ZED spells plus a whole host of new spells totalling some 57 pages of magic. Many of these new spells are inspired by the works of some of Dave Arneson's original players as well as Dave himself, including also adaptations of OGL spells in the d20 Blackmoor books. There's also new magic items, such as the Wand of Augmentation, and new, J.E. Holmes inspired, rules for spell books. Of course, you don't need any of the new spells and expansion materials in The Book of Elder Magic to play CoZ, but I think many will find it to be a great resource for the game just the same.
For $10 the print version of The Book of Elder Magic is available here:

adding print/pdf buy options to the kickstarting funding would prompt me to add a little more to my contribution for them
Creator Michael Russell on June 13, 2012
Oh, okay. BTW what class would an aristocrat be? I'm trying to give my NPC a full sheet and it isn't working
Creator Daniel Hugh Boggs on June 13, 2012
Michael, logistically, adding to the pledge and having me ship the print (softcover) Book of Elder Magic to you wouldn't work very well since the book ships from a distributor at different location. It would result in double shipping costs. CoZ on the other hand I'm having printed locally and will be shipping them myself.
Creator Chip & Katie on June 12, 2012
+1 on adding a purchase option to the kickstarter.
Creator Michael Russell on June 12, 2012
That would get even more moneys out of me, i love hardbound
Creator Kairam Ahmed Hamdan on June 12, 2012
Yeah! Include both options available here as extras for all or some tiers. Or make them part of yet another stretch goal!
Creator Michael Russell on June 12, 2012
can we add the $10 to our pledge and have it added to our order on here?
