Dear all!
[🇫🇷 version française plus bas]
Tonight we have several things in stock for you :)
Here is the program:
Iron Kingdoms by our friends from Privateer Press
Butterfly’s Dirge Actual Play
Poll for the $700K goal
Community Challenge Update
Let’s go !
Iron Kingdoms by our friends at Privateer Press
Last February, the Privateer Press team ran a Kickstarter campaign to offer their mythical Iron Kingdoms universe powered by the 5E edition ruleset. They have just opened a late pledge here: https://ikrequiem.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
This is a great opportunity to discover this unique Full Metal Fantasy RPG. The late pledge will last two weeks, don't miss it.
"The Iron Kingdoms is the award winning setting from Privateer Press - players have been exploring our full metal fantasy world for over 20 years in RPGs and the popular Warmachine and Hordes miniatures games. Now, 5 years after The Claiming, Western Immoren lay in ruins, and it's up to your group of players to navigate what's left after the Infernal's pact has been fulfilled. With new classes, races, and rules for Mechanika, we're proud to bring our fantastic setting to 5e!"
Buttefly’s Dirge Actual Play
We're sharing with you the third episode of the Buttefly’s Dirge Actual Play. This module will be offered during the pledge manager. It is included in the All In.
Sure, it seems almost impossible with just over 24 hours left. But why not! It is already a crazy ride. So let's vote, tell us what you like best among these four choices. It's going to be a tight race between the winner of the first vote, and three exciting new projects!
Your huge support allows us to imagine many things but also to maybe launch earlier than expected the development of projects we have in mind.... Many of these projects are only in the idea or discussion stage. The deadlines may be long and we may not get there! Please keep in mind that from now on it is a bonus and that the realization is not guaranteed. However, we will do our best to achieve a goal voted and reached by the community!
1/ 4 additional Mini scenarios. This PDF supplement will now be between 30 and 40 pages long and will offer you short stories in one of the cities of the Encyclopedia.
2/ Actual Play. We will produce a new Actual Play. We do not know yet if it will be in english of french. We will try to get some subtitles.
3/ Fateforge OST. A symphonic album to immerse you in the epic atmosphere of Fateforge. Our source of inspiration: Basil Poledouris and the Conan OST! And yes, we will produce a full orchestra concert, as we have done in the past, when this cursed epidemic is over! We have produced several albums and look at this video for an Esteren concert we organized ^^
4/ A Fateforge video game. A Visual novel in the universe of Fateforge in partnership with a video game studio. Imagine Record of Lodoss War seasoned with Sword and Sorcery and you'll have an idea of what we want to do!
Community Contest Update
Since the beginning of the campaign, we are running a community challenge! You can find it here.
At this very moment, we have 29 pledges, 25 reviews and we also count the 31 comments on the DrivethruRPG page. That's 85! We only need about 15 points to unlock the community challenge! You are almost there :)
That's it for tonight,
See you tomorrow for the last day !
🇫🇷 Chers tous !
Ce soir, nous avons plusieurs choses en stock pour vous :)
   Voici le programme :
2/ Actual Play. Nous allons produire un nouvel Actual Play. Nous ne savons pas encore s’il sera en anglais ou en français. Nous allons essayer d'obtenir des sous-titres.

LAST DAY/ New Goal Achieved and What is Next!

– Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 04:45:33 AM
Hi everyone!
[🇫🇷 version française plus bas]
It's done, the $600K funding mark has been passed! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Encyclopedia is now by far our biggest success. We started this project in 2016 and faced many obstacles. We bent but we held on, thanks to you, the community, who were always there. And now, with the complete Tetralogy in production and due to be delivered this summer, you have given us a real triumph. THANK YOU !!!!
This new milestone also means a new bonus for everyone. Without further ado, it's time to reveal the result of the vote and the surprises in store for the last 24 hours of this Kickstarter.
This graph is very geometric! And exactly half of the backers voted for the 15 city maps to be printed on the back as well. Our brave graphic designer GinL is already at work because the production must not fall behind! Each back of the map will be illustrated with a plan without any annotation. We will also highlight the beautiful heraldry of each city.
And now, here's what's in store for the final hours. THREE final goals :
$650K: Surprise! We have a nice surprise for the whole community :)
$700K: The new community vote! We are preparing it right now, we will post it later ^^
7588 backers: If we reach this number of backers, we will surpass the number of Creatures' backers, which was our previous record. And that's something to celebrate!
Share the project around you, it's time to spread the word!
Partagez le projet autour de vous, c'est le moment de diffuser l'information au maximum !
A tout Ă l'heure pour le nouveau vote !
New Reward Tier : Fateforge ALL-IN ! And infos about the Pledge Manager and Add-ons
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 12:45:36 AM
Dear all,
[🇫🇷 version française plus bas]
Here we are, entering the last 48 hours of the campaign! What a crazy ride ! Welcome to all the new backers :)
We've received quite a few questions about the adons that will be available during the pledge manager, after the campaign.
How will this work? Our deadlines are short because we are in the process of production right now. Soon we will receive some printed sample before mass production. So, depending on the world situation and international transport, we hope to deliver this summer. For this, the pledge manager will last only two weeks, in April. You will only be charged for any additional purchases in early May, which will allow you to smooth out your spending since your Kickstarter contribution will be charged in early April.
We are currently configuring the pledge manager. Many of these options come from our previous Kickstarter campaigns, stretch goals or convention inventory. They are often limited edition or soon to be sold out options.
We now have a pretty accurate list of what will be offered during the pledge manager and, right after this update, we will be releasing 100 All-Ins, including the Tetralogy reward tier and all the new addons. Based on the unit prices, the total value of these addons is about $340. The All-In includes a nice discount and will allow you to acquire the full set of 14 addons for only $200. Thus the All-In will be $440. Even though our early backers got many of these items as gifts via stretch goals, it's still a great deal and if you want the full Fateforge collection, this is the perfect time! To grab an All-In, click « Manage my pledge » and select this new reward tier in the list.
We are preparing a FAQ about the pledge manager. Remember that this is also where you will choose the language of your books, your cover, and where you will indicate your delivery address and pay your shipping.
You will also be able to add these options per unit. Some of them will be in limited quantities.
Finally, here is some information on all the options contained in the All-In.
 Fort Ardraco A 36-page module by Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms for character levels 1-5. Includes the PDF.
 The Chronolith A 50-page sandbox module for characters of levels 1-5 by Eric Nieudan. Includes the PDF.
 The Butterfly Dirge A dreamlike module for characters of levels 3-5 by Ben Diebling. Includes the PDF.
 The Player's Guide is an accessory for FATEFORGE players. Gathered in a 60-page booklet, here are some essential rules and reminders about the universe.
 Creatures Appendix. While working on CREATURES, we wanted to provide GM with a tool making preparation—or improvisation!—easier. In this book, you will find: a list of the creatures sorted by geographical location, a list of the creatures sorted by CR, a list of the creatures sorted by type, a list of available archetypes, a list of new optional rules and spells. All creature lists come with useful precisions such as their CR, type, possible legendary nature, suitability as a mount, animal companion, or familiar, etc.
 Creatures Box (200 pawns + standees). In this box, 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 (1 inch scale).
 Draconis Artbook. We are proud to present Chane’s work in English! This single book is 260 pages long, bringing together in a single volume Draconis and Draconis: Sparks, the sequel. This complete edition will be published in A4 format (21 × 29.7 cm). Availabe in standard or Great Wyrm edition. Includes the PDF.
 Lairs. Set of four lair art prints in a portfolio.
 Set of 4 Advantages Metal dice. You will get two matt silver and two antique bronze metal dice.
