LOREKEEPER: as Hero, plus a print copy of the limited-edition Midgard Tales hardcover book with FREE SHIPPING to the US and Canada. Add $10 if shipping internationally.

RETAILERS ONLY. 3 copies of the limited-edition hardcover, or 5 copies of the softcover, shipped in the US only. Add $20 for international shipping. No access to project forums.

DIABOLIST: as Lorekeeper, plus pitch your ideas for all 1st-to-3rd level adventures and legendary NPCs. Also includes a PDF of the upcoming Midgard campaign setting and print copies of any standalone Midgard Tales extra adventures and the Legends book. Free shipping in the US. Add $15 if shipping internationally.

ARCHMAGE: As Diabolist, plus you can pitch to design all 1st-to-6th level adventures, get an autographed version of the hardcover book (instead of the regular one), and a signed copy of Complete Kobold Guide to Game Design. Also includes a Midgard Tales or Small but Fierce t-shirt (your choice). Add $20 if shipping internationally.

LEGEND: As Archmage, plus pitching for all 1st-to-10th level adventures, and you can play one of the adventures via Google+ Hangout with Christina, Ben, or Wolfgang at a mutually-agreed time. In addition to your copy of Midgard Tales, you also get an autographed copy of the Midgard Campaign Setting. Learn the ropes to lead a future project and make a pitch to lead the Fall/Winter 2012 Open Design project if you wish. US shipping included, or add $25 if shipping internationally.

SULTANA'S CHOSEN: As LEGEND, plus pitch for any adventure levels 1 to 12 and you sponsor or choose an expanded element for Tales, such as a legendary figure, region, or adventure. Consider them sequels or expansions of the parts of Tales you like best. This writeup can be undertaken with coaching and feedback from the lead designer, or if you prefer, simply ask Christina to write it on a topic of your choice. All Expanded Legends will be released in 2013, after the project concludes, as standalone releases. Also includes a print copy of the limited-edition Halls of the Mountain King or Wrath of the River King (your choice).

VIZIER: As Legend, but you may pitch for any level adventure, and you will have personal coaching and feedback on your pitches from the Lead Designer. You also get two autographed copies of Midgard Tales (rather than one), and an in-person game with Christina Stiles at Gen Con 2012, PaizoCon 2013, or a mutually agreed venue. Add $30 if shipping internationally.

ORACLE: Take the mantle as the Clockwork Oracle or the Spider Prophet, and issue some proclamations! As an Oracle, you choose a cultural region and a particular level of play, and work with Christina Stiles, Ben McFarland, or Wolfgang Baur to turn that choice into a tailored adventure. In other words, you give the lead designer some directions, and get the personal adventure you want. Also includes all Vizier-tier rewards, plus an autographed handbound leather copy of Midgard Tales, plus print copies of Tales of Zobeck, Tales of the Old Margreve, Journeys to the West, the Midgard Campaign Setting book, a 1 year subscription to Kobold Quarterly magazine, and the ultra-collectible Steam & Brass adventure that was the very first Open Design project. Finally, your status as Oracle includes an in-person game with Christina Stiles, Ben McFarland, or Wolfgang Baur at Gen Con or PaizoCon 2012 or 2013.

GODLING: As Oracle, but the adventure you propose is exclusive to you and will not be shared with the public (unless you want to see Open Design release it, of course).
