Any word on when new Fantasy Age Core Book is to be released?

[Greg K]

I heard there is going to be a new edition of the Fantasy Age rule book. Has a release date been anounced?

 

[Mezuka]

It has been pushed back to Q4 or the beginning of 2023. No official release date. Green Ronin never does that.

What's going to be different about it?

What's going to be different about it?

The Rogue is being split into the Rogue and the Envoy.

Characters will gain a free Specialization at 1st Level.

Stunt access is being gated somewhat.

Arcana from FAGE Companion will be included in Core.

And perhaps more importantly, "Intelligence" will be spelled correctly.

There are some other differences, but these are ones that I remember off the top of my head from the playtest. There may be further changes between the Playtest and the publication, but we have not really heard anything about it or any changes they made in response to the playtest.

“Envoy”? What is its deal?

“Envoy”? What is its deal?

The Envoy is a more social-focused class if you want to play "the Face."

You can think of it as four pillars of play with four types of stunt points and four classes to support them:

• Combat: Warrior
• Exploration: Rogue
• Social: Envoy
• Magic: Mage

BARD, you say

 

[Aldarc]

BARD, you say

The Bard has already been a possible Rogue Specialization since the FAGE Companion. The Bard in the playtest was open for the Rogue or Envoy.

Ah okay if the stunts are gated by those pillars in some way I can see that.
