Fabula Ultima QuickStart - in progress!
Added 2021-03-02 23:16:20 +0000 UTCGreetings everyone!
I have received permission from Fabula Ultima's publisher, Need Games!, to share with you the development of the quickstart document for Fabula Ultima - it will be released much later this year, but it was really important for me to get something into your hands as soon as possible!
Today I'll start by showing you how I want to structure the character sheets - the scenario will feature four characters, and teach the basic elements of the rules scene after scene. Our goal, since the game is heavily connected to videogames, anime and similar media, is to have a complete TRPG newbie pick this up and actually be able to figure out how you play.
For instance, this is Lavigne Fallbright, our iconic Darkblade heroine, built as a level 5 character (this is the starting level in Fabula Ultima):
The little red "lock" icons, which now show a 1 as a placeholder, will tell you which scene unlocks that section of the sheet - scene after scene, the players will discover what constitutes a character in the game.
Let's hope this approach gets a good reception; it was certainly inspired by the amazing work done by Fantasy Flight Games in their Beginner Game boxed sets - although our project is much humbler in scope, being a simple booklet!
Stay tuned for more, and join our Discord to take part in the discussion!
