Oh. And they're minutes away from unlocking their last listed stretch goal, solo mode. ETA: And unlocked.

Already passed the $500,000 mark. Here's to hoping it's another $1 million Kickstarter. Congrats to Emanuele Galletto and Need Games.

It's a great game for what it's trying to do. It's more narrative focused like Daggerheart, shared worldbuilding, shared storytelling, etc...but it has no illusions about emulating a real world. It's very much a game that's trying to be a JRPG simulator. Things work like they would in a JRPG...

I made a general [+] thread for Fabula Ultima. https://www.enworld.org/threads/fabula-ultima-general-thread.715533/

The [+] is to keep things positive and prevent arguments about Fabula Ultima and more narrative-focused or video game-inspired RPGs. There are plenty of other threads to hate on games and play styles you don’t like. There are a few people on here who play Fabula Ultima and want to talk about...

To be fair, it's dead simple to make monsters in Fabula Ultima. I get it, but it's super easy to do yourself.

A few hours in and already close to $1/2 million. Good for them. Absolutely fantastic for that JRPG feel.

Just thought it relevant to mention considering your post about all tech being regulated, when...you know...that's not true and all.

Not really. It carried forward for quite awhile. It's in 81, the Traveller Book, the Starter Set, etc. I'm not sure when it disappeared, but it lasted longer than just the original.

Well, not really. Depends on the tech, depends on the place, and depends on how we define tech. Even if we broadly define tech to include things like agriculture, there are some aspects that are regulated and others that are not. As long as you have access to soil, rain, and seeds you can...

Yeah. All that. For me Traveller works best when it’s the ultimate sandbox. I find the trying to pay off ship-debt angle boring. I don’t want to RP having a job. I think of it like Frederick Pobl’s Gateway books. Anything is possible out there. So go out there. I also view the bones of the...

Most people don’t care until it directly effects them. The people cheering loudest about “AI” advancements now will be out of work and out of luck like the rest of us.

Exploring new worlds. Trying new things. Interacting with the environment in weird ways. Seeing how creative people can be. The limitless potential of the medium that's weirdly hemmed in on all sides.

Yeah. Roll things ahead of time or make a spreadsheet to do it for you. You can also just not play it as a space trucker game. Lots of other ways to go. If you're going to dig into Classic Traveller, I'd suggest the original 1977 version. It's much better and more streamlined than anything that...

Though that would be a sweet monster ability.

He's not wrong. This is a post about tabletop RPGs.

Why would they? If the point of having a unique timer for each torch is because it's more "realistic" it then breaks that sense of "realism" if you have a monster attack one torch and somehow they all go out together.

It’s not speculation. I played in a game run with multiple timers and it lacked tension because of that. The players just had timers on their phones. Every X minutes someone would mark a torch and restart the timer. The light got attacked, that player would mark a torch and restart the timer. No...

Sure. And it’s 1/X as vulnerable with X torches burning. But I’m talking specifically about the timer running out and having multiple overlapping timers. It goes from tension inducing to busywork.
