Fabula Ultima, the award-winning TTJRPG, celebrates the end of its “celebration edition” Kickstarter with exciting news for the future.
Fabula Ultima: Celebration Edition has exceeded its creators’ wildest expectations, raising well over $1 million. In fact, at press time, the game is on its way to $1.5 million. A hefty sum. And one that has unlocked a bold new stretch goal: “The Future of Fabula Ultima“—which in this case refers to the editorial team’s plans to accelerate releases for the book, to have campaign setting expansions, organized play, and more.
And all this while still delivering on the fanciest possible version of the books at the heart of the Celebration Edition Kickstarter. That’s the new Bestiary, as well as a whole line of new hardback books, including a core rulebook with cover art designed by Yoshitaka Amano himself.
Fabula Ultima Celebration Edition Kickstarter: What the Future Holds
There are two big components to this Kickstarter. The first is the Celebration Edition of Fabula Ultima. It comprises brand-new hardback editions for the entire editorial line of FU. You can find everything from the Core Rulebook (with its new Kickstarter-exclusive variant cover) to the expansions like the Techno Fantasy Atlas or the Natural Fantasy Atlas. All redone in glorious hardback, with premium finishes and the like.
There is also the deluxe edition upgrade, which gets you each of the books with “beautiful geometric graphic covers” that have special UV insert bookmarks, premium cover materials, the whole nine yards. But if you’re looking for something new, you probably want to check out the new Bestiary, which gathers together more than 100 monsters to adapt and evolve, as well as new rules for making your own adversaries, NPC companions, and more. It’s the kind of book that FU has really needed.
But all that is burying the lede. Because let’s talk Yoshitaka Amano. You know his artwork if you’ve ever looked at a Final Fantasy game. Or read Deva Zan. Or Vampire Hunter D, or Sandman: Dream Hunters, or—well, the list goes on. Amano is a legendary artist, and he has designed a beautiful new piece of original artwork to celebrate Fabula Ultima:
[Yoshitaka Amano’s art] , which truly makes our hearts beat faster, will be used for a variant cover of the Core Rulebook, as well as for a huge special Collector’s Box, a nod to the special editions of the most beloved JRPGs. Both items are exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign, and will not be reprinted in the future.
What was that about the Collector’s Box? Well, on top of the variant cover, you get all the deluxe edition as well as an exclusive Game Master screen, and an item pack with accessories, and any physical stretch goals that get unlocked. Speaking of which, a ton of stretch goals have already been unlocked.
But the most exciting one is the Future of Fabula Ultima. This goal means that the creators can take an accelerated approach to the editorial calendar for FU. Which means several things, first and foremost, more books. With this goal met, the team is looking to now release two books per year instead of one, starting with the Strategic Guide and a Bestiary Vol. II coming next year. On top of that, Fabula Adventures, which is “series of Fabula Ultima campaign frameworks presenting ready-made foundations for settings that you’ll then build upon.”
There’s more still to come. But for now, the Fabula Ultima: Celebration Edition Kickstarter runs another day and a half or so. So don’t miss out on any of these incredible exclusives.
Nothing final about this fantasy rpg!
