Fabula Ultima Hardback & Bestiary Vol. 1 Kickstarter

[Aldarc]

Fabula Utima is having a Kickstarter now for hardcopy versions of its rulebooks while also adding a bestiary book. Fabula Ultima won Ennies in 2023: Gold Winner for Best Game and Silver Winner for Product of the Year! Fabula Ultima (a pun on Final Fantasy) is a TTRPG inspired by Japanese video game RPGs and anime. But it's a fantastic game even if one doesn't know a thing about JRPGs or even if you don't use it to run games inspired by JRPGs.

Check it out!

Funded and taking off. Good for them!

Just played it on the weekend. Would definitely love a bestiary!

They dramatically underpriced their stretchgoals - they've torn through them nearly all of them in less than an hour.

With the fact they're looking for a May '26 delivery date, I hope they are careful not to overextend themselves with stretch goals.

The only thing stopping me from running a campaign of FabU was the limited bestiary in the corebook. I'm very excited for this.

I would also add that Fabula Ultima is one of the rare TTRPGs that my partner has loved playing and expressed enthusiastic interest in playing again. In fact, Fabula Ultima's Press Start quickstart tutorial, which you can also buy in this Kickstarter as a hardcopy, was the first TTRPG that my partner has ever run! Press Start is a masterclass tutorial.

When I told my partner about the Kickstarter today, they even offered to pay part of the cost because of how badly they also wanted it.

Yes. Free on DriveThruRPG. I should have clarified that Press Start was also available as a hardcopy in the Kickstarter.

I wish a product like this existed for every ttrpg. Its an absolutely fantastic little tutorial.

A few hours in and already close to $1/2 million. Good for them.

Absolutely fantastic for that JRPG feel.

They deserve that and more. It's a really excellent game.
