Backed today.

Someone mentioned possibly running a pbp in the kickstarter thread. If anyone starts one please link it here.

The backer poll results are viewable, though I don't know if the poll has actually closed yet. Surprise surprise, the three most conventional concepts won and we will have the Dragon, the Remnant, and the Constructed. The Pair came in a close fourth.

The Hatchling was in last place :cry:

I actually am surprised by that. For some reason I thought backers for a project like this would be more into "weird" options. Dragon was absolute last for me... Barely see the point in voting for something you could just find in a PHB.

Well if gnome ever writes up some of these other books I'd drop a few bucks for em.

That's also true of Elf, Orc, and Dwarf. The way I see Fellowship, it's is all about creating adventurous fantasy from the ground up, basing it on the sources of the genre rather than on derivatives like D&D. I'm confident gnome can do good things with these vanilla concepts.

I'm only sad about Constructed because we already have the Golem in Inverse World. I don't know how similar they'll be, but adapting earlier work to a current project feels a bit underwhelming.

Part of my thinking is that we already had so many options if you want to go "standard." I'm sure gnome will cook up good stuff for all the books, not concerned about that.

Yes absolutely, I'm gonna write The Spider and the Pair for sure. But it'll be after these other three, and they'll be sold separately, while the Dragon, Remnant, and Constructed are going to be sent straight out to backers free of charge upon completion.

The funded playbooks will also be available for sale later, in the same way all my Dungeon World playbooks are, but backers will get them free.

Excellent.

I'll be trying to convince my group to start a Fellowship game this week so perfectly timed for me.

This reminds me a bit of Final Stand. Any inspiration there?

Nope, though I do like Last Stand, I did mean Final Stand. It's written to play something like Tekken or the like I think.

There was going to be a pbp here to reskin it to do a Space Jam/Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden style game but it never made it past character creation so I never actually played the system.

I should add that I don't actually know if it's a favorable comparison but the game I had in my head seemed cool so at least in that way it definitely is.

Not wanting to deal with the hassle of returns/replacements/whatever is a valid point regardless of who you think is at fault.

The poster basically said they like gnome and the product but wouldn't feel comfortable ordering a hard copy in the future which makes total sense.
