Fateforge VTT is coming!

Hello everyone!

Via the current Kickstarter, you can get a Fateforge-specific Virtual TableTop (VTT) "Tetralogy" bundle for Foundry and Roll20. 
In case you are not familiar with VTTs or are wondering what this pledge features, we wrote this article for the sake of making things clearer. Hopefully, it will answer any questions you may have ;)



What's a VTT?


VTTs (Virtual TableTop) are online platforms, often featuring dedicated apps, which enable long-distance tabletop role-playing.
Note that they are not video games, but instead an interface to play traditional role-playing games such as Fateforge on a virtual support.

Players use virtual character sheets where skills, experience, etc. are automatically calculated, make virtual dice rolls, and can enjoy beautiful visuals (the location of an ongoing scene, NPC portraits, etc.), as well as immersive sound effects and background music!

The DM, meanwhile, has plenty of tools available for easier DMing and faster preparation: automated combat, automated NPC stat calculation, as well as interfaces to customize displays, show NPCs, design maps and plans for locations that can be hidden or revealed with a simple click, etc.

As a rule, the platform provides a basic interface for playing, but not everything is automated.
The advantage of acquiring a Fateforge VTT bundle such as those available via the present campaign is to have all the Fateforge rules readily available and automated, as well as tailor-made assets such as character portraits in the same style as the books', soundsets, and much more.
And with a game like Fateforge where there are many minute rules to remember and values to keep track of, believe us, it makes the DM's job that much easier, saving considerable time compared to an IRL game, and making for much smoother gameplay, particularly during fights!

Available VTTs


Foundry is a paid software ($50), which must be installed by the DM hosting the game. Players can join the game via an online interface. Foundry is used by many seasoned DMs with experience in programming, since it offers high customizability for whoever can code.




Roll20 is an online platform. It has a free version with certain limitations such as limited data storage and the inability to upload your own character sheets. A subscription is required to access advanced functionalities, starting from $6/month (less for a yearly subscription) for the whole table, since a subscribed DM can share such functionalities with the players of the games they host.




What Does the Fateforge VTT License Include?


The Fateforge VTT license features a complete, optimized VTT port of the following books: Adventurers, Grimoire Vol. 1, Creatures Vol. 1, and Encyclopedia Vol.1. Available for Foundry and Roll20.

This means, for instance, that all the Fateforge content contained in the aforementioned books is split into easy to use segments. The major difference between a PDF and a VTT is that when playing without a VTT, you have to roll the dice, calculate how the result was modified by the character's abilities, equipment, and circumstances at play, look up rules, etc. When using a VTT, everything is organized and automated. All you need to do is click the stat to roll, and the software handles everything, from rolling the dice to calculating modifiers.

DMs can easily choose what they want to share with their players (and what they don't). Creature tokens are ready for use, complete with matching stat block and art for each creature. Every profile has its own fully original Fateforge art, and B&W art was even colored for extra quality and harmony.
In short, no effort was spared to make Fateforge as user-friendly as possible in a VTT environment!

What Does the Fateforge VTT License Not Include?


Though it may seem obvious, it bears mentioning: the license does not include a subscription to the concerned platform, nor does it come bundled with the relevant software.
In addition, normally, the PDFs of the books ported to VTT are not included as part of the license. By default, when you purchase a VTT module, all you get is its port to the platform at hand. However, we have decided that for the duration of the Kickstarter, PDFs of the books come bundled with the VTT license, in order to celebrate the availability of these modules. A nice opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and get the PDFs in addition to your license, at no extra cost!




And there you have it! We hope that this gives you a better idea of this license's applications and of how much simpler it makes a DM's job when managing Fateforge sessions!

To find out more, visit our Kickstarter page. If you have any other questions, feel free to send them our way on our Discord, in the comments of our ongoing Kickstarter, or to our support service :)

From the urban depths of the Free City to the frozen steppes of the Septentrion.

The Encyclopedia features four civilizations of the world of Eana, pre- senting their mysteries, history, and magical wonders:
• Free City. The largest city in the world and a thriving melting pot, the Free City is the perfect place for urban adventures. Notables, merchants, scholars and criminals coexist and strive to fulfill their ambitions. 
• Drakenbergen. The heart of Cyfandir, the Drakenbergen are a great mountainous land, well known by the dwarves who control the local trade routes, both on the surface and in the Netherworld. It is a country perfectly suited to the ex- ploration of lost ruins and valleys.
• Septentrion. A wild northern territory, the Septentrion is a tough region, full of secrets dating back to the ancient Boreal civilization. Unfortunately, the marauding frost giants and Askinos the Pain Drinker, a scheming diabolical hospodar, have the potential to turn these lands into hell!
• Kaan. Vast and contrasted, made of high mountains and endless steppes, stifling here, frozen there, Kaan is a constant call to courage and initiative. Merosi, orcs, goblins, bugbears, hobgoblins, ulkani, and humans have formed cosmopolitan societies, while great magical powers have grown in the shadows.

Welcome to the Netherworld

For a long time, you have traveled the surface: the streets of the Free City, the mountains of the Drakenbergen, the taiga of the Septentrion, the steppes of Kaan… And through your voyages, you saw entryways into dark, foreboding depths. You wondered where these tunnels might lead; what might live down below… and what might lurk. You remember cautionary tales from your childhood, speaking of evil, treacherous, traitorous peoples, and of the crawling, hideous presence of Canker. …

This time, your path is downward… Your journey may last up to several weeks, and will feature many encounters following two main themes: the Netherworld and Canker.



An Overview of Creatures: Netherworld


Creatures: Netherworld is our studio’s newest creation. This first major supplement of the Fateforge series took two years of work. It is now complete and will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter on May 2nd. To be notified of the campaign’s launch, click here!

Creatures: Netherworld features more than 180 illustrated creatures for all levels, including 150 entirely original ones and 30 great classics with a new spin such as the Aboleth or the Chuul, 5 playable species (Drow, Duergar, Sidhe of the depths, Grimlocks, and Svirfneblins), adventure hooks, new feats and handicaps, 12 original magic items, 8 original archetypes providing you with material to design new monsters for your games… and much more!

Longtime followers of the Fateforge series have already encountered terms such as “Netherworld,” “Canker,” “drow,” “duergar,” and more. The present book is first and foremost a bestiary and toolbox for any subterranean campaign. It fits Eana’s universe, but can just as well be used as material for any other campaign setting.

A book that’s part of a series. If you are acquainted with the first Creatures, which went over the Free City, the Drakenbergen, the Septentrion, and Kaan, you will be in familiar territory as far as the book’s layout is concerned. It is split into two main parts (which are detailed below), each spanning several chapters exploring major themes, so that leaders can easily familiarize themselves with specific subjects and construct scenarios focused on them. Each creature has been designed as a source of stories, which can be dangerous, strange, wondrous, or frightening. Appendices catalog perils typical of subterranean natural environments.

A standalone book. Working on the book, we intended it to be self-sufficient, featuring complete and self-standing information, so that readers do not have to constantly refer to other sources. With this in mind, Creatures: Netherworld can be used with Adventurers and Grimoire—the core books of the Fateforge series—or with any other book detailing the 5E rules… Or it can be used as worldbuilding material for any setting where Netherworld creatures would fit.

One of the playable species, the simmaïens, derogatorily called grimlocks

The Netherworld


The Netherworld is immense, stretching underneath the entirety of Eana’s surface and seas. The comings and goings of purple worms fill it with tunnels and contribute to bringing breathable air to its depths. Through their wanderings, these exceptional beasts open pathways into new lands. Bold explorers venture there, sometimes spearheading the settlement of new communities.

Though groups of surface-dwellers possessed of darkvision sometimes settle belowground, most of the underground population is made of species highly unfamiliar to those who live in the sunlight. Drow, svirfneblins, and duergar are descendants of heroes of the Dawn War who remained trapped in the Netherworld. Simmaïens have inhabited this subterranean realm for so long that they cannot really imagine returning to the surface. As for sidhe of the depths, they are bound to the roots of Eana and to enrooted fey, which are unique to the Netherworld.

Creatures: Netherworld provides plentiful and diverse content. Today, we will go over the five new playable species included within:

Drow, or dark elves, are particularly infamous in the center and east of the Drakenbergen. Tales abound of their subterranean cities, said to be places of wonder and cruelty in equal measure. The reality behind the legend is much more nuanced. 
Duergar, or gray dwarves, are unknown to most surface-dwellers, and many believe them to be extinct since the Mountain King War. And yet, there still exist two highly distinct lineages: abyss duergar, inventors of extraordinary artisciences whose civilization flourishes below the ocean, and oldstone duergar, masters of illusions, settled in northeastern Cyfandir.
Sidhe of the depths are born from rooted maelossas (sites directly connected to living nature—Eana). Due to their sensitive origins, they are permeable to other forces, which has resulted in three different sidhe lineages: root sidhe, abyss sidhe (related to Blackwater), and Nightmare sidhe. 
Simmaïens are the first people of the Netherworld. They inhabited it even before the Fall of the Travelers, and they are split into two lineages: shrouded and enlightened. 
Svirfneblins, or deep gnomes, have kept in touch with their surface cousins. There are two lineages: the rooted, who are deeply connected to Eana, and the exalted, who are by and large city-dwellers.

Canker


Canker is mostly known as the Hideous Scourge, taking shape as loathsome monsters birthed in repulsive Cankerous nests. Some have also heard of Nightmare, which made the practice of trance a matter of survival for elves. These horrific aspects are brought up and explored in Grimoire, but something lesser-known is that Canker is an evolving entity and that it has taken another, dangerously alluring aspect: Sublime.

Part of Creatures: Netherworld is dedicated to this entity lurking in the depths of the subterranean world. Some see it as a deity, others as a cancer gnawing at the world from the inside. Canker takes shape in many creatures of all CRs embodying its two aspects: the Scourge and the Sublime.

Whether your campaign is set in Eana or in a setting of your own, Canker will pit your players against a new major antagonist, as unpredictable as it is deadly.

A Sublime creature

We hope that this first peek will make you want to learn more! Future articles will provide more details on certain aspects of the book, maybe answer some of your questions, and delve further into the depths! ✨
