<h2>BUT WHAT IS THIS GAME ABOUT?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are many roleplaying games in the world, and we play them for different
|
|
reasons: many make us feel like heroes, some have us embroiled in dark
|
|
investigations and tragic tales, others will challenge our skills and tactical
|
|
mindset, and others make us reflect on heavy and important topics.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fabula Ultima was designed to be a TTJRPG — a Table Talk JRPG, evoking the
|
|
feel and stories that can typically be found in classic console Japanese
|
|
roleplaying video games.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>HEROIC AND FANTASTIC ACTION</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In line with the genre that inspired it, this game doesn't concern itself with
|
|
realism or verisimilitude — instead, it deliberately embraces a light-hearted,
|
|
bizarre and "videogamey" feel, both in its tone and in its mechanics.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>A GAME OF HEROES AND VILLAINS</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a game about larger-than-life heroes and tragic antagonists. There is
|
|
no predetermined plot, scenario, or "adventure" — the heroes' actions,
|
|
motivations, and objectives will drive the story forward while the Game Master
|
|
reacts to their choices and places obstacles on their path, often in the form
|
|
of powerful villains with their own devious agendas, which will change time
|
|
and time again as the protagonists manage (or fail) to thwart their plans.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>HEROIC DESTINY</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The heroes of Fabula Ultima are destined to accomplish great deeds, and they
|
|
will only meet their end when the person who plays them deems it appropriate.
|
|
That said, the price of defeat will often prove steeper than death — a major
|
|
part of this game will be discovering how your heroes rise from their failures
|
|
and learn to work together in order to accomplish what they could never do on
|
|
their own.
