Kickstarter [Kickstarter] Iron Edda: War of Metal and Bone (for Fate & AW/DW*)

[zarathud]

Epic Norse Fantasy. Personal Stories. Fate Core™

Dwarven Destroyers march across Midgard, laying waste to all before them. Brave human warriors abandon clan and holdfast to bond themselves to the bones of dead giants, hoping to push back the Destroyers. The Runescribed harness the magical power of the sacred Runes, wielding magics that could level cities. Seers advise and divine the future, but the fate of the world is murky and dim. Jarls, thralls, and warriors fight in common cause, shouting "victory or Valhalla!" as they charge into battle. Ragnarok has come. The War of Metal and Bone. Will you dine with the gods in Valhalla, or dance with the dishonored dead? Choose your fate.

*****************

Built with Fate Core™, Iron Edda: War of Metal and Bone lets you tell the stories of brave warriors, Jarls, Bonebonded giants, and their defense of their holdfasts.

In addition to the awesomeness that is Fate Core™, War of Metal and Bone adds some unique features:

• Be whomever you want: Bonebonded or seer, thrall or Jarl, War of Metal and Bone is designed to let everyone play side-by-side using the same excellent Fate mechanics.
• Create your own holdfast and add to the world. Every campaign begins with the creation of your own unique holdfast. Every session will see you adding to the map you've made. This is your world and you get to see how it changes.
• Form bonds with your party members, celebrate your warrior clan, and honor your history with your own sacred item.
• A diverse and inclusive setting that strives to make it so anyone who sits down at the game table will find a place for themselves.

The war with the dwarves and their constructs rages across Midgard. What role will you play?

*Note: There is also a stretch goal to convert the system to the Apocalypse World/Dungeon World engine.

It is not letting me post a link to the Kickstarter so you will have to search for it on the site. If someone with that ability could post it as a reply, I would appreciate it.

I've play tested this game

As one of the recent playtesters for this game, I can verify that it is an amazing setting with a lot of potential. As part of the Fate system, the game allows for so much customization of characters. Want to play a tortured Viking runescribed who gave up his chance to rule in order to defend Midgard? Want to play a member of the Clan of the Horse, leading your party into battle atop a battle steed? The possibilities are endless!

NEW: There are now stretch goes for porting the Iron Edda world to many systems (including Dungeon World, Savage Worlds, and Pathfinder). It'll take a lot of effort to get there, but the payoffs will be very well worth it!

Funded! STRETCH GOALS!!

The latest update to the KS lists all the stretch goals - should be Update #6, and it's accessible to non-backers. Let's see if we can't get this cross-posted to as many system-specific forums/tumblrs/whatever as possible, and get as much funded as we can!

Full disclosure: I'm on that list, so yeah, I've got personal interest in making this happen. That doesn't mean that all the folks involved aren't incredible people, with gobs of talent. It just means I'm pumped and excited to bring my own spin on the fantastic Iron Edda setting to print!

Like a fantasy version of Pacific Rim

Dwarven constructs vs. reanimated giants? If that isn't a "mecha vs kaiju" analog then I don't know what is! I definitely backed this and can't wait to see it!
