Latest Updates from Our Project:
DAY 22 : 380K Mark Reached + Last Goal ????
about 4 years ago
– Thu, Oct 01, 2020 at 06:14:46 AM
The 380K mark has been smashed... BRAVO! And we're racing towards the 400K goal that we are revealing in this update!
Welcome to the Drakenbergen - 380K mark
For the 380K level, we are continuing the exploration of the Eana world with the Drakenbergen. All backers will receive a PDF of about sixty pages describing this region in detail.
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 exploration of lost ruins and valleys. Between the majestic Fjordkungden and the illusory mines of the Maze of Mirages, adventurers have their work cut out for them! From the ghastly vale of Gleannceò, the charismatic vampire lord Kentigern is making his moves, accruing more power every day. Meanwhile, in Askamor, a fierce active volcano, brave dwarves watch over the pathways into the world’s depths, wary of Cankerous incursions.
With this last goal, we decided to give you a nice reward to THANK YOU! Again, this is a thing we hadn't planned to reveal now but ..... But....! You've made a big hit during this campaign!
Just imagine that the sculptor, Shafi Adam, has been making the sculpture in the last few days, even though we decided to offer the Gobbler as the final goal. Kudos to him !! Let us introduce you to your new favorite familiar !
If we reach 400K, all backers will receive the Gobbler's STL file. If you take any of the non-digital pledges, you will also receive a copy of the mini in 1 inch / 28 mm scale, plastic cast. We are already looking forward to seeing your painted versions ^^
Look now at all thre treasures you will receive:
What will happen beyond 400K? This is the realm of the unknown. It is possible that we will stop there ... or that we will have another surprise ? Who knows :D
FAQ : I am an early bird and I will get my 2 Metal Dice. I want to change / upgrade my pledge level, do I risk losing them?
No, do not worry :) You can change your pledge in the course of the campaign at no risk to your early bird perks. By changing your pledge, you may not see anymore "early bird" icons but this is not an issue. Your early bird status is based on the time stamp of your very first pledge, not your reward tier.
Today it will be a project in French! It's will be your chance to practice because it will be a podcast :)
🇫🇷 Aujourd’hui ce sera un projet en français ! C’est le moment de vous exercer car il s’agira d’un podcast :)
Nos Sphères est une série de podcast (en 6 épisodes), consacrée aux imaginaires sociaux et à leur charge politique. En analysant différents récits dominants, en les détricotant, nous souhaiterions explorer la façon dont ils modèlent nos choix, influencent nos goûts, structurent nos personnalités et façonnent notre vision des autres, du monde, et de l’avenir.
Nous nous demanderons quelle prise nous avons sur les imaginairesqui vivent en nous et dans lesquels nous vivons ? Comment rendre compte d’imaginaires politiques moins visibles, plus marginaux, mais peut-être plus émancipateurs ? Et comment imaginer autrement le monde dans lequel nous voudrions vivre ?

All-In Reward Tiers!
about 4 years ago
– Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 12:06:43 AM
Folks here we are! The All-In's are online :) There are three different All-Ins : a DigitalAll-in, a Creatures All-in and a Fateforge RPGAll-in.
To take one, you just have to change your pledge level :)
Now some details :
► All-InDigital: after receiving a lot of requests, we also put this All-In online. Basically, you get a 50% discount on this pack compared to the public price of each item.
►All-In Creatures: this pack is especially for our community who already owns the first releases of the Fateforge series. This All-In includes everything about Creatures + all the new items: the two modules in print, the 4 battlemaps and the Creatures BOX that you get for only $50 in total, hence this All-In at $120.
► All-In Fateforge RPG: that's the big one. In addition to the two modules, the 4 battlemaps and the Creatures BOX, it also includes the leader screen. All these options cost you only $60, hence the $230 package. It is a pretty big pack but the value is really interesting here !
A message to our subscribers who got a $160 Fateforge RPG pack. To make sure you don't get penalized, you'll get a special add-on in the pledge manager, at $60. Don't change your reward tier, keep your precious $160 pack and manually add the $60 to your pledge, making a total of $220 for you. After the KS ends, you will be able to use this credit to get the $60 All-In add-on.
The "price" column gives you the unit prices of the options, as they will appear in the pledge manager. Do note several public prices are higher like the books ($50 each) of the Creatures Box (will be $40 in retail). You can of course add an extra copy of Creatures to your All-In for example. Take into account that the Red Dragons editions are $10 more expensive.
Last but not least, please note that no stretch goal is listed here. But of course you will receive them. We will make a summary at the end of the campaign of all your well deserved treasures :)
🇫🇷 Pour nos francophones, une news recap arrive sur le blog, ce soir ou demain. Restez à l’écoute :)
In any case, if you have a doubt, post in the comments or come to see us on discord. We are connected.... Very often ^^
Cheers!

about 4 years ago
– Mon, Sep 28, 2020 at 07:38:27 PM
Done! You've reached the 340k mark! This is a new milestone. This time, we take you to our next book that you will discover before anyone else :)
The Encyclopedia is a campaign setting book for 5E and will describe 4 great regions that you can either use in your own campaign or to enrich your knowledge of the world of Fateforge: Eana! These regions are related to the NPCs, mysterious entities and monsters of Creatures. If you want to go further in the lore and immersion, the Encyclopedia will be the perfect companion for Creatures!
This is also the time to reveal the next goals and give you a hint about the last one!
The Free City - 340K mark
With this new stretch goal, you will receive a PDF of about 70 pages depicting in details the Free City, a setting of urban games, intrigues and mysteries to discover!
The Free City by Akae
« The Free City is Eana’s most iconic metropolis, the starting point of many adventures… and a hotbed of schemes and conspiracies! With a rich history, a thriving political and economic activity, and internationally known institutions, it is perfectly suited as the locale of scenarios, and can even be the location of an entire campaign. »
This part of the book is very advanced. Written and translated, the layout of the english version is in progress. Here are some extracts.. in french:
Set of 4 Coloring Pages - 360K mark
For this 360K mark we offer you 4 coloring pages, made by the studio's layout artist, Delphine GinL! It is to her that we owe all the graphic charter of the books of Fateforge and Creatures. Apart from that, she loves ieuD and the mountains. You can follow her on Instagram. During the lock down, she worked on these boards and we shared the first one with the community. Let’s say hi to GinL :
With this 360K goal, all backers will receive these 4 boards in PDF format.
Welcome to the Drakenbergen - 380K mark
For the 380K level, we are continuing the exploration of the Eana world with the Drakenbergen. All backers will receive a PDF of about sixty pages describing this region in detail.

DAY 18: 320K Goal + New Option: Creatures Box + Battlemap + Peacat
about 4 years ago
– Sun, Sep 27, 2020 at 01:56:45 AM
Here we go! The 320K goal has fallen. A big BRAVO to all of you!
Without further ado, let's get to the heart of the matter!
320K Goal: 16 Pawns for Everyone!
New option: Creatures BOX
Agate Dragon’s Lair Battlemap
About the All-In Pledge
Welcome to the Peacat
320K Goal: 16 Pawns for Everyone!
To celebrate this new achievement, we have worked hard to put in place this new gift .... The visuals are validated, the quotes with our manufacturer are ok too. Let's go! All backers starting from the $40 tier will receive a complete set of pawns representing the main characters of the Fateforge universe, the heroes of the story!
Check this out:
The board you will receive consists of 16 pawns. There will be a few bases supplied but their final format is still under discussion with the manufacturer.
That's not all.... Let us introduce you to our latest option...
New option: CREATURES BOX
We've been dreaming of doing this for a while.... Schedule, budget, the stars weren't aligned! And here you are, you our dear backers! This is the right moment to do it, so let’s go!
We're unlocking a new option: the Creatures Box. What is it? In this box with a magnetic flap, you'll find all the characters and monsters from the book Creatures. In total, there will be about 15 boards and at least 200 different pawns of all size. We are working on the layout of all this right now so that it goes into production and does not delay the whole thing. There will also be plastic bases but we don't have the details yet. There you have it, you see the idea! We plan to sell this box for $40 but we are offering it to you with $10 off during the Kickstarter.
If you want a copy of this Creatures Box, increase your participation by $30. The discount will be even bigger if you take the All-In :) Treat yourself !
Here is a first rendering of the box. Here again, work is in progress, it can still evolve:
We take this opportunity to make a small inventory of the available options and how to grab them.
How to add options?Click “Manage my pledge” and add the amount corresponding to your option(s). You don’t need to change your chosen reward tier; just edit the amount you are pledging to account for any add-ons you want. When we send you the survey after the end of the campaign, you will tell us what option(s) the extra amount is for.
Here is the list of all others available options each with a link to the upate giving more details.
Set of 4 Battlemaps +$15 (print & PDF). A2 size Battlemap (420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4 in) gridded for the use of 28 mm miniatures (the Copper Dragon, the Lord of the mighty ice devils , the Vampire Lord, and the Lich) [link]
Set of 2 Advantage Metal Dice +$10. Either with a matt silver or antique bronze finish. You will choose your color during the peldge manager. Each set is designed to play the Advantage and Disadvantage rolls. [link]
The Chronolith +$20 (print & PDF). The Chronolith is an original 50-page adventure by Eric Nieudan. It is compatible with any game making use of the 5E rules, and has been designed to be played autonomously, sandbox-style, offering great freedom and many possible twists. Intended for characters of levels 1-5, it will take the party on a dizzying trip through space and time, and pit them against dangers both mundane and extraordinary from many ages! [link]
Fateforge Core Books +$40 / each (print & PDF). With this option, you can get Adventurers (player's book) and Grimoire (spells and magic), the two core books for Fateforge. Red Dragon editions cost an additional $10, or $50 each. This update gives you a lot of infos about hese books [link]
The Butterfly’s Dirge +$20 (print & PDF). The Butterfly’s Dirge is an original 50-page adventure by Benjamin Diebling. Dreamlike and gothic, between reality and nightmares. This scenario highlights the atmosphere before anything else and will take you completely out of your comfort zone. We cannot say more at the risk of spoilers :) [link]
Let's go to the next point!
Agate Dragon’s Lair Battlemap
Josselin has finished his work on the first Battlemap...:
And here is the back... which will be quite nice with your pawns :)
As a reminder, this battlemap (420 x 594 mm or 16.5 x 23.4 in) gridded for the use of 28 mm miniatures, will be sent as a gift to all backers. It's one of the unlocked bonuses. If you want the 4 others, add $15 to your plegde. More info here.
About the All-In Pledge
About the All-in pledge, we are still working on it. We think it will be ready on Monday, we still have to check several details. Our idea is to offer two slightly different All-in.
The first one, the Fateforge All-in, is basically the $170 pledge with all the essential options.
The second will be for those who already have the Fateforge core books. This Creatures All-in will include the $70 pledge and all the essential options.
In both cases, the All-in should offer almost 50% discount on all included options, including the Creatures Box. This offer is really there to thank you for your incredible support. It will only be valid during the Kickstarter. Add-ons and option packs will be available during the pledge manager and then the late pledge but not at the same price.
🇫🇷 Pour nos primo-souscripteurs Ulule, nous prévoyons aussi un All-in particulier :) En gros l’idée sera de vous proposer tous les inédits avec une remise d’environ 50%. Nous vous expliquerons tout ça en détail dans l’article recap de la semaine, sans doute lundi.
Welcome to the Peacat
Chane has finished her work ... Look at this beauty :
We are preparing a contest for one of you to win the original artwork of the Peacat! The idea is simple: we will soon enter the last days of the campaign. The mobilisation of everyone will be essential to create a magnificent finish! The backer who will make the best campaign to promote this Kickstarter will win the original artwork. It won't necessarily be the one who will post the most everywhere, but rather the funniest, most creative and efficient campaign. IF you don't use social networks, be creative :) We'll give you all the details of the contest very soon! It should begin Monday.
By the way, if you are using Instagram, you can follow Chane here. Let's put some colors in your daily news :)
