We get a chat about the way in which you actually build characters for Fabled Realms. This takes you through an interesting process where you build up your heroes that will lead the way in the fights to come.
I wonder how many of them are going to die, or be turned into Druggoi throughout the event?
I like being able to build my own characters, but I’m interested in reading more fluff so I get a feel of how my characters could fit into this world.
I agree. Until you have immersed yourself in the fluff of the world and its difference it is hard to come up with a background which meshes with the new setting. world building is always fun and getting to know someone elses vision and then building a character in that world is awesome!
Having a well described background for the world you are gaming in certainly helps with immersing yourself in the setting and allowing more of a buy in to the vision of the creator. Fabled Realm is exciting because it is doing that and there is hopefully a lot more on the horizon!
Were now in the process of creating our characters. I think my first is going to have to be a goblin but im figuring out that they cant carry much, hmm….
This is a very cool system. Will be following along this weekend .
Getting deep in to the lore is going to really help shape characters I think.
^This – exactly 🙂
Will there be a PDF to download the blank character cards? I haven’t made it through the full beta rules, but I don’t remember seeing one there.
I love the gear mechanics, more dice.
Nice character creation mechanism.
Would be cool to make characters using allready painted minis 😉
Got a great D&D pirate character called Bubba.
He is a big dark man using a harpoon for a weapon as in his past he used to be a whaler.
The more I see the more interesting this game becomes. Any idea when this goes to retail
The document is clear.
But an example is always simplier to understand the feeling of character creation.
Very cool system. Maybe it would be an idea to make little stickers in a dice shape in the colors of the dice with the minimum number to throw on it that you can stick on you character card.
So a red square sticker with a 2 on it for example.
It would make it very easy to read.
Really nice character creation, great customization options.
That an interesting creating process, lots of options while stay relatively simple.
Now I’ll have to give it a go with the beta rules
What a great narrative game they are coming up with, looks perfect for a deeper frostgrave experience, love the aro, sorry reactive turn mechanic too.
Justin going deep……. 🙁 . I may need some mind bleach. Loving the character creation system 😀 .
Starting to regret not getting on board during the kickstarter.
One potential problem I see with the game though is the reliance on colour. I’m not colour-blind but I know it’s a problem for a number of people. Is there anything planned to help with that ?
The idea of Zaknafein5 above about the sticker with the number might be a good starting point.
same here 😉
looks awesome!!
This looks great
Need to read along for another view, seems rather simple with lots of complexity.
still reading the rules but the game looks great so far
Being able to create your own character in so fine a detail is very nice and personal.
Character creation is a nice system. Like the gold system. Really brings back memories!!!
This is fabulous!
Looking good, can’t wait to start sorting out my own characters :).
I am liking the way this is going.
The elf models that were shown a few months back caught my interest, and it is cool to get a look at the rules.
