Back in the days I totally was a fan of pre-written character backstory, until I played more and more „writers-room“ style games and realized how much better the resulting stuff is—especially if it happens organically during play and slots right into the story like in CfB!

And CfB just grows more audacious every time I revisit it (in all its aspects, not just character backstory). Wait until you see The Lands Remaining!

The backstory and “immersion” fetishists are going to be PISSED, lol

Oh, hey, happiest of birthdays to you! 🥳🎈🎁🎉🍾🪩🪅🕺🎂

I think you guys should start your work with the tiniest (I mean largest) bit of extremely well earned celebrations! 🥂😄

Sure, it’s not the Trophy flavor of fantasy, but this genre can handle a lot of different flavors, and Epic Grim Gauntlet Fantasy should exist imho 😇

Same! I really dig all the stuff you came up with so far, and the least you owe the game is to do an internal round of playtests to see if it is a Gauntlet thing. And I’d be very very surprised if it isn’t. This just feels too much like the epic fantasy the Gauntlet has been missing.

Nooo! The world needs this! I need this! 😆

TLR is such a unique take, it feels as much like a reinvention of the fantasy genre as Brindlewood Bay did for the investigative genre! Your gut feeling is right, listen to it!*

*) NOT the one about keeping this to yourself tho!

Hm, maybe instead of a permanent location, we just need something affordable to rent for two weeks…
