They're definitely useful for when an adventure or encounter calls for opposition you haven't prepared in advance...or when the GM needs a little creative inspiration.The campaign launches with three volumes:· Character Collections 1: Experienced Adventurers provides 20 ready-to-use adventurers of various point values.· Character Collections 2: Rookies contains 40 starting characters ranging from 30-33 points.· Character Collections 3: Bandits and Outlaws ambushes you with 72 unsavory individuals . . . or perhaps they’re just misunderstood?The campaign launches with these three volumes, but there are three more planned as stretch goals. These volumes (Wizards, Merchants and Caravans, and Pirates and Sailors) unlock as the number of backers that join the campaign at the $10 or more reward level hit certain levels. The PDFs of these books are added to your pledge rewards as the campaign succeeds!<img src="https://i0.wp.com/gamingballistic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Character-Collection-First-Three-Books.png?resize=1024%2C314&ssl=1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The books are very nearly done, at least the ones that stat the campaign!<img src="https://i1.wp.com/gamingballistic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/CC3-Preview-Shot.png?resize=1024%2C657&ssl=1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It also features cards in the "<a href="https://thefantasytrip.game/products/accessories/decks-of-destiny/">Decks of Destiny</a>" style.<img src="https://i2.wp.com/gamingballistic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/NPC-Rookies-Card-Mockup-2.png?resize=1024%2C744&ssl=1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A comment from The Fantasy Trip Discord Channel was too good to not repost. So here, with permission from the poster, is a bit of love for "<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamingballistic/character-collections-for-the-fantasy-trip?ref=5w8d9k">Character Collections for TFT</a>"Just to emphasize some of this, here are the potential card counts if we hit all the goals:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC1: 20 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC2: 40 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC3: 72 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">5PJ 63 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">MPJ: 204 cards in three decks</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC4: 40 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC5: 64 cards</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CC6: 72 cards</li> </ul>There are also 1" square counters for use in TFT-style maps (or any style maps, really) featuring the same art style as you see in the examples.The structure of the campaign is such that now that it's funded, stretch goals are unlocked strictly by backer count at pledge levels of $10 or more. So while there's a whole lot of stuff available, and available during the Backerkit phase...that $10 pledge goes every bit as far to unlocking stretch goals as a much larger number.And if you missed TFT the first time around...as I did!...there's a <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamingballistic/character-collections-for-the-fantasy-trip?ref=5w8d9k">New to TFT!</a> pledge level that gets you a hardcover copy of the rulebook (but not a PDF), three solo adventures, and all the initial softcover books (Experienced Adventurers, Rookies, and Bandits and Outlaws). Perfect for getting started with the game for the first time.</blockquote>
