Doug Davison, President of SmiteWorks says, "Being able to work with such well-known authors as Rich Baker, Stephen Schubert and David Noonan was a real treat. Their past work on 3rd edition, 4th edition and 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons products was a good indication of their ability to create very high-quality gaming products, and Primeval Thule is no exception. The artwork is fantastic and the writing is compelling. Thule is a world that will inspire GM's and players alike and building it again on the 5E ruleset really helps it shine. I was able to work personally on this conversion project and I look forward to future releases in the line for the adventures, companions and more."
Stephen Schubert, Co-Creator of Sasquatch Game Studio provides, "Throughout our Kickstarter campaign for Primeval Thule 5e, we were bombarded with requests to release Thule for Fantasy Grounds. After discussion with Doug at Gen Con, we agreed it was a great idea. One of our goals with Primeval Thule was to build a campaign setting that could work in anyone's game - a true multi-platform campaign setting, with versions now for 5e, 13th Age, Savage Worlds, and more. Making it also available for virtual tabletops fits right into that goal, and the work we've seen so far has been fantastic!"
