<h1>Welcome to Fabula Ultima!</h1>

|
Welcome to Fabula Ultima! What you hold in your hands is the core rulebook for
|
|
a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by some of the most beloved JRPG
|
|
videogames, such as Bravely Default, Bravely Second, Granblue Fantasy, Ni No
|
|
Kuni, Octopath Traveler, and the legendary Final Fantasy series. The JRPG
|
|
acronym stands for Japanese (or Japanese-style) Roleplaying Game, a videogame
|
|
genre that saw its origin in Japan but is currently spread all over the world,
|
|
counting hundreds of titles. JRPG videogames share some major elements: they
|
|
tell fantastic stories in which extraordinary individuals confront the
|
|
darkness that threatens their world, growing and learning to trust each other:
|
|
only by struggling together and casting aside their suspicions and differences
|
|
will they save what they hold dear. This may read like a reasonably common
|
|
premise, but what makes JRPGs unique is that the worlds in which they are set
|
|
— often wondrous and bizarre! — are built around the protagonists and act as a
|
|
reflection of the doubts, hopes and feelings driving their actions: the
|
|
process of discovering the setting goes hand in hand with understanding who is
|
|
accompanying us in our journeys. Just like the JRPGs it was inspired by,
|
|
Fabula Ultima focuses on epic tales of growing heroes and powerful villains,
|
|
set in fantastic worlds brimming with wondrous locations and bizarre, unique
|
|
monsters, tightly connected to each protagonist's unique themes and choices.
|
|
Unlike a videogame, you won't play through a prewritten plot and grind for
|
|
experience by slaying monsters for countless hours or carrying out duties for
|
|
quest-givers. Instead, you will build your own story together little by
|
|
little, and you will be rewarded for playing your character in a way that fits
|
|
their role and identity in that story!
