Wow, what a first day! The first 24 hours are nearing completion and we are over 63% funded! As a small team with a relatively small following we are so excited at the response we’ve had! Make sure to check out the below updates too, you won’t want to miss them.
We can’t thank all of you, our supporters, enough! Thank you to everyone that pledged, and those of you that are checking out the Primer and joining our Discord server!
Primer V 2.1 Update
Just before, and during our launch we have been working on a small update to the Game System Primer 2.0.
The only rules/mechanical change is that instead of having to choose 2 of the 4 available Base Power options, every character now automatically gets all 4 Base Powers for their Powerset! We made this change because selecting Base Powers could be quite a difficult decision at times, and we don’t think the pros of that choice being meaningful outweigh the cons of it being a choice that doesn’t feel like it has a “right answer”.
Other than that there was just some small wording clean-up and clarifications to some areas that got questioned somewhat regularly.
So that means we’ve included the updated Primer below (all you need to do to download it is follow our Backerkit page, subscribe to our Newsletter, or join our Discord server here)! This also comes with a new character sheet (coming soon) to give you the space you need to add those 2 extra Base Powers to your sheet!
Another Architect Pledge Level Opening?!?
Yes, that’s right, as of the time we send out this update, we’ve also decided to open up the Architect Pledge Level to 1 additional Backer! That means one more person will get to work with us to create their very own Powerset concept, to be added in our first expansion book!
Have you noticed there's a surprise from other worlds? Something extra that's not part of the Call of the Sea campaign? It's a new add-on that aims to bring you luck: our complete set of dice for Scions of the Dark Goddess, specially designed to play Call of Cthulhu 7th.
This set includes 1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 1d10 (ones), 1d10 (tens), 1d20, and a 1d10 bonus and 1d10 penalty die of different colors!
To get them, just add them in the "add-ons" step when you back the project. If you're already a backer and want them, just go to your pledge and click "edit pledge."
(This add-on is external and not part of any reward tier)
Don't miss out!

NUEVAS METAS DESVELADAS
¡Hola, investigadores de lo oculto!
¿Creíais que esto se había terminado? ¡En absoluto!
Vuestro apoyo sigue haciendo que el barco de esta expedición llegue cada vez más lejos, y eso también significa nuevas metas desbloqueables que podemos alcanzar juntos.
Ya han sido desveladas las nuevas metas hasta 150.000 €. Os retamos a alcanzarlas antes de desvelar más. Porque sí, hay más. aún quedan sorpresas que mostrar (alguna d ellas no la esperáis).
Si estás leyendo esto y ya eres mecenas, ¡Gracias! tu ayuda está haciendo esto posible. Y si quieres dar un empujoncito más, compartir el proyecto en tus medios nos ayudará a dar ese empujón último.
¿Y si no eres mecenas aún? ¡Ayúdanos a alcanzar esas metas para ti y para todo con tu aportación!
I've updated Stretch Goals through $37,000 and will add more as needed. Many of these will serve as lead ins to the sequel book coming in July.
Here's what's on deck:
If we crack $35,000 in the next 24-hours, I'll announce the next few.
If you haven't backed yet, don't forget that the PDFs we're offering won't be free for pre-orders or via any other method other than subscribing to my Patreon. So make sut you get in quick.
Thanks to everyone who's backed! The book is HUGE with already 200+ pages and a few more things I have to adjust. The PDF will come out right after the Pledge Manager opens and locks.
Wow, we've hit $20,000 funds raised thanks to every ones' kindness and efforts spreading the word about Indominant! This means we've unlocked The Socialite Calling! This is the Calling for you if you want to make a character that uses their powers to become famous celebrity, public figure, or other similar goals that require being well known amongst society.
There have been so many people telling us about how they are running games or planning to run games with friends, at local stores, in TTRPG Discord servers, and even at conventions and other local events! It really makes us so happy to hear about people sharing the fun experience of playing TTRPGs with others, using Indominant!!
We only have a few days left, and 2 more Stretch Goals left to unlock too! Those are the New Species Type: The Symbiotic once we hit 350 Backers, and the Indominant Soundtrack at $25,000!!
CampaignCloseout Stream on May 8th!
Don't forget to join us on our last livestream of the campaign on May 8th, at 7:30 PM Pacific Time! We are going to be celebrating, having fun, answering question, and discussing the Stretch Goals that we unlocked!
We know that deciding to join a crowdfunding campaign can be difficult. You know it’s a great price, a campaign as interesting as it is unique, with plenty of handouts and props that provide a one-of-a-kind experience.
We know it is true, but we’re not the only ones saying it.
We want to share with you what some of the first players who have tested and played Call of the Sea: The Everhart Expeditionhave to say about their experience.
Tristán Oberon (Cthulhu Mythos expert, Whispers from the Dark blog in 6 languages):
"I had a great time with the Call of the Sea video game back in the day, but the fun I'm having playing the campaign is unparalleled. I can't wait to have it ready to run for my players, they’re going to love the Everhart adventures in French Polynesia."
"When Carlos Ferrer invited me to test this campaign, I didn’t hesitate. Call of the Sea is a game I really enjoyed, and seeing it turned into a campaign for Call of Cthulhu was such a surprising move. I was blown away by the author's work. His adaptation of the first-person video game into a group campaign that can still surprise me is wonderful. I get to live the expedition from within, discovering new things during the game with complete freedom of action, starting from San Francisco to the mysterious island in French Polynesia."
"We’re not just testing it; we’re playing it for fun. We’re totally hooked on the story and loving the challenges that keep coming our way. I can’t give too many details because spoilers are easy to cross, but I can assure you that the feelings I’m experiencing as a Call of Cthulhu player are some that I really enjoy. I love the dark touch the author has given both to the antagonists and the story itself."
ManuelGM (veteran Cthulhu Mythos player): "Refreshing and captivating, it manages to blend the classic with a fresher and different perspective through a shared personal story. It immerses us in a beautiful aesthetic, taking us to the Pacific and inviting us to uncover the mysteries hidden there. Without a doubt, a fantastic experience."
Víctor "Zhanir" (veteran player): "Call of the Sea is an adventure I'm enjoying in a way I didn’t know was possible in Call of Cthulhu."
Now you know some more personal opinions. We hope you enjoy getting to know them.
If you are a follower reading this, but not a backer, Take the step and join The Everhart Expedition. You can’t miss Call of the Sea!
Thanks,
Shadowlands Games

UN MENSAJE PARA MECENAS Y SEGUIDORES
¡Hola, investigador de lo oculto!
Sabemos que decidir unirte a una campaña de mecenazgo puede ser complicado. Ya sabes que es un buen precio, una campaña tan interesante como única, con muchas ayudas de juego y extras que aportan una experiencia única. Todo eso es verdad y lo sabemos.
Pero no lo decimos solo nosotros.
Queremos compartir contigo lo que algunos de los primeros jugadores que han testeado y probado Call of the Sea: La Expedición Everhart tienen que decir sobre su experiencia.
Tristán Oberon (experto en los Mitos de Cthulhu, blog Susurros desde la oscuridad en 6 idiomas): «Disfruté mucho con el videojuego Call of the Sea en su día, pero lo bien que me lo estoy pasando jugando la campaña no tiene parangón. Tengo unas ganas tremendas de disponer de ella para dirigírsela a mis jugadores, sin duda fliparán con las aventuras de los Everhart por la polinesia francesa.
Cuando Carlos Ferrer me invitó a testear esta campaña acepté sin dudarlo, Call of the Sea es un videojuego del que disfruté mucho cuando lo jugué en su día y verlo convertido en una campaña para La llamada de Cthulhu era algo tremendamente sorpresivo. Flipé con el trabajo del autor. Su adaptación de la primera persona del videojuego a la campaña coral capaz de sorprenderme es maravillosa, viviendo la expedición desde dentro y descubriendo cosas nuevas durante la partida con total libertad de acción, desde el comienzo en San Francisco hasta su viaje a la misteriosa isla en la polinesia francesa.
No solo la estamos testeando, sino que la estamos jugando con placer. Estamos enganchadísimos a la trama y flipando con los retos que nos van surgiendo. No os puedo dar detalles porque es fácil cruzar la línea del espóiler, pero os aseguro que los sentimientos que tengo como jugador de La llamada de Cthulhu son de esos que son un gustazo tener, me encanta el toque sombrío que le ha dado el autor tanto a los antagonistas como a la propia trama».
ManuelGM (jugador veterano de los mitos de Cthulhu): «Refrescante y cautivadora, Logra unir lo clásico con una perspectiva más fresca y diferente a través de una historia personal compartida, Nos sumerge con una estética maravillosa en una aventura que nos transporta hasta el Pacífico, invitándonos a descubrir los misterios que allí se esconden. Sin duda, una experiencia genial».
Víctor «Zhanir» (jugador veterano): «Call of the Sea es una campaña con la que estoy disfrutando como no sabia que se podía hacer en la Llamada».
Ahora ya conocéis algunas opiniones más personales. Esperamos que os haya gustado conocerlas.
Si lees esto y eres seguidor, pero no mecenas, ¡anímate y únete a la Expedición Everhart! ¡No te pierdas Call of the Sea!
But just in case you missed it: the two unlocked scenariosare now add-ons to expand Call of the Sea: The Everhart Expedition.
And they’re not just extras — they’re pieces that complete the full experience — playable as preludes, parallel scenarios, or even flashbacks within the main campaign. You’ll face the horror from new angles.
The Black Boat: 1914. An impossible artifact. A dimensional shift. A deadly journey from which there may be no return.
Sacrificial Flesh: You’re a prisoner. Marked for sacrifice. Will you all escape, or leave someone behind?
Some backers have already added them to their pledge. However, they're included in some pledge levels as physical and digital stretch goals (Norah and All-in).
You can step up your pledge level and get these and all rewards from the new level too!
Enter your profile -> Your Pledges & Surveys -> View pledge -> Edit pledge to step up you pledge level or include add-ons!
Remember: The free PDF Prelude is also available as physical add-on.
On Hostile Shores A pleasure cruise in French Polynesia turns into a nightmare. Will they reach the island alive?
Thanks for setting sail with us,

LOS ADD-ONS QUE DEBES TENER SE HAN DESBLOQUEADO
Algunos mecenas ya lo han descubierto…
Pero por si acaso tú no te has enterado: los dos escenarios desbloqueados son ahora add-ons que expanden Call of the Sea: La Expedición Everhart.
Y no son simples añadidos: son piezas que completan la experiencia, jugables como precuelas, escenas paralelas o incluso flashbacks dentro de la propia campaña. Puedes vivir el horror en la isla desde ángulos nuevos.
Carne de sacrificio: Prisionero. Marcado para el sacrificio. ¿Serás tú el sacrificado… o dejarás a alguien atrás?
La barca oscura: 1914. Un artefacto imposible. Un salto entre dimensiones. Un destino del que puede que no regreses.
Algunos mecenas ya los han añadido a su promesa. Sin embargo, están incluidos en algunos niveles de aportación como metas desbloqueadas (Norah y All-in).
¡Puedes subir de nivel y obtener estas y todas las recompensas del nuevo nivel!
Accede a tu perfil -> Your Pledges & Surveys -> View pledge -> Edit pledge para subir de nivel o incluir los add-ons.
Recuerda: el PDF gratuito del Preludio también está como add-on físico.
En orillas hostiles Un viaje de placer en la Polinesia se convierte en pesadilla. ¿Lograrán llegar vivos a la isla?
