Fading Embers - Kickstarter Spotlight
/It’s that time of year when the first brisk chill starts sneaking into the air. It’s the time of year for ciders and pumpkin flavored everything… literally EVERYTHING (my local grocery store has a display with upwards of 30 different pumpkin flavored food & drink products). And I know for many of us, it feels like Fall is just beginning, but the way time moves these days, before we know it, winter will be upon us…
If you’re the kind of soul who enjoys winter and wintery things, and also the sort who digs TTRPGs (and really, at this point, it’d be kind of weird if you weren’t. I mean, why read an article that reviews TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns if you weren’t into TTRPGs… What are you hiding?! Who sent you?!) But I digress, where was I? Oh yeah. If you’re the sort who both enjoys TTRPGs and wintery stuff, then you need to check out Fading Embers, the latest offering from John Yackel & Valiant Fox Gaming.
Damn… she looks tough. I hope she’s on our side.
Fading Embers is a massive new campaign package for 5e that includes a Setting Manual, a Player’s Manual, and Gamemaster’s manual. In the creator’s own words:
Almost 1000 years after being thrust into a new ice age, the world of Nyth hangs on to life by a thread.
Civilization exists in pockets. Independent city-states rule portions of the most favorable latitudes, while much of the remaining lands are now frigid untamed wilds.
This campaign boasts a veritable treasure trove of new and original content such as:
24 new subclasses
New feats
New equipment & gear
Over 50 new spells
Over 100 new items!!!
Y’all know I love my trinkets, which means I think the icy, frost laden world of Fading Embers sounds pretty cool… (pun so very much intended)
I’ll tell you one thing that isn’t frozen when it comes to Nyth: the time you have left to check it out and reserve your copy. So, head on over to their Kickstarter and take a gander for yourself right now!
Well, that’s all from me for now. Until next time…
Take Care, Owlbear
