Hey Mist Hikers!
More Stretch Goals Unlocked!
We are amazed at how fast the campaign reached 100K, with this milestone the campaign now includes:
More Mist Hiker Field Notes. Eight more notes will be added to relevant pledges (Game Ready+), for a total of 16!
Even More Boons & Banes. With the previous unlock the number increased to 50, and now we’re at a whoopin’ 70!
The next stretch goal is anupgrade to the OST, adding three additional tracks! From the comforting joyous tunes to the epic combat encounters - you’ll have music for many occasions!
Speaking of Music...
Check out the first track created by Frida Melando:
Discover More Majestic Creatures
We are passionate about creature design, and that love goes beyond mechanics. We appreciate how a creature's fluff informs its appearance, and vice versa. That’s why we immediately fell in love when we saw The Field Guide to Floral Dragons.
The Field Guide blends the fascinating world of flowers with dragons and a dash of magic to create a fabulously floral draconomicon. Keep an eye out as you scroll through their designs, we guarantee you’ll attract a few spirits of wonder!
Mist Hikers! We have another question for you: what does a spirit of love look like?

Hey Mist Hikers!
What an INCREDIBLE First Day!
Words can barely describe our astonishment, so let’s just say there are now more spirits of bewilderment in the world! The Book of Spirits is not only funded - it is getting more content than ever, including:
Art Prints. Five premium prints (8.5x11 inch) with beautiful art from the book are now included with every physical pledge tier.
More Boons and Banes. 20 additional boons and banes will be added to the book, making a total of 50!
Spirit Companions. The book will include five more adorable spirit creatures that can be summoned as familiars!
New Subclasses. The book will feature two additional subclasses: the Veilward Ranger and the Circle of Harmony Druid.
And there’s more to unlock! Our next stretch goal doubles the number of Mist Hiker Field Notes, expanding the collection from 8 to 16!
Almost Faded Away: Early Bird Miniature
The first day of the campaign is already behind us, which means there’s not much time to get the 48-Hour Early Bird reward – spirit of accomplishment miniature!
Tomorrow at 10am EST, the spirit fades back to the Spirit Realm, so if you’re still thinking about pledging, do it soon!
Maps, Maps, and More Maps!
The Book of Spirits has some maps included, and our stretch goals may unlock even more, but if there’s one thing I learned as a GM is that you can never have enough maps. With that in mind, we’d like to introduce another wonderful Kickstarter project by our friend Tom Cartos – Into the Wilds Battlemap Books!
Into the Wilds is a collection of 9 fully customizable, biome and region themed physical battlemap books. They are ideal for pre-set or random encounters, so you can be fully prepared no matter which direction your players choose to head in.
Hey Mist Hikers, we have a question for you: which emotion would you like to see as a spirit in the book?

Welcome daring adventurers! We’re here with a new realm for you to explore.
Book of Spirits is LIVE
Beyond the Screen is proud to present the Book of Spirits, an Ethereal Supplement compatible with the evolution of 5th Edition!
Embark upon an unforgettable journey through the Spirit Realm, where emotions and memories possess real power. Use the new Resonance system to weave stories reminiscent of Dragon Age, Avatar: Last Airbender, and Stormlight Archive.
Early Bird Reward
Your early support means a lot to us. We would like to thank our early backers with a spiritual (yet somehow quite physical) gift! Any physical tier pledge made within the first 48 hours gets a free Spirit of Accomplishment miniature (so, before 10am EST, April 11th).
This adorable spirit wants nothing more than to celebrate your successes in life, no matter how small!
Take a Step into the Spirit Realm
The Book of Spirits has a lot to offer, so to give you a taste of what you’re pledging to, we’ve assembled a sample PDF. Aside from a brief explanation about the Spirit Realm, the sample features 4 creatures, 11 boons and banes, 2 spiritual phenomena, and the new conduit class!
