What I Like about "A Fortitude Vampire"

June 17th - via: kickstarter.com

What I Like about "A Vasili Shrine Maiden/Priest"

June 16th - via: kickstarter.com

What I Like about Rinley Yatskaya

June 15th - via: kickstarter.com

What I Like about Chuubo/Shokyou

June 13th - via: kickstarter.com
I like that Chuubo takes off his tie and ties it around his head when he wants to rock out. I like it even more that at least once, during playtesting, another PC attempted to force this transformation by taking off Chuubo’s tie and tying it around... (Read More)

The Child of the Sun

June 12th - via: kickstarter.com

The Dust of the Outside

The Slow Chipping Away at Reality: A Continuation of our Discussion of the Outside

June 10th - via: kickstarter.com

The Outside

June 7th - via: kickstarter.com

I thought it'd be nice to have something in the cards before we get all the way to $35,000, so I've put up a little stretch goal in between. I have to admit that $31,500 is not a terribly tough target to hit or anything at this point--- But maybe... (Read More)

Why I Love Fortitude: the Glass-Maker's Dragon

Issues

June 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
"Issues" are another game element that I really enjoy. They’re like little trellises for your character plotlines to grow on. They keep hard numeric track of what can sometimes be really subtle and marginal character bits to push things to develop... (Read More)

"Quests"

June 1st - via: kickstarter.com

Where’s this game set?

May 31st - via: kickstarter.com
This game is set in Town. It’s a pretty nice place, surprisingly rustic, with about 165 square miles of settlement and suburbs and 80,000 people calling it home. At its core, Town is Fortitude, a sweet, laid-back pastoral region; Horizon, the ruins... (Read More)
