Gameplay details

📖 Welcome to FU Frontier! A sprawling land where the remnants of an ancient civilization merge with the rise of powerful, modern heroes. My Fabula Ultima Frontier is a blend of high fantasy, technology, and legends, where the ruins of the past fuel the conflicts of today. Now, new heroes must rise to protect the future from looming threats that range from ruthless warlords to the unearthing of forgotten god-machines. 📜 Quick Rules: - Collaborate with the story and fellow players. - Treat everyone with respect. - Embrace creativity and roleplay. - And most importantly, have fun! 🦸‍♂️ Find Your Legend: In Fabula Ultima, you will step into the boots of young heroes (ages 16-20), who are just beginning to discover their destiny in a world full of ancient expectations and fresh challenges. Whether you’re the scion of a noble house, an explorer seeking the lost arts, or a prodigy of advanced magitech, you must navigate the tensions between past and present as you forge your path. Will you rise as a legendary figure of the new age, or will you succumb to the darker forces at play? 🔮 Embrace the Unknown: Fabula Ultima thrives on storytelling and improvisation. The game is less about strict planning and more about letting the story unfold naturally. Characters grow as they face the challenges of the world, pushing them to become legends in their own right. The mechanics encourage discovery and growth through unexpected turns, keeping the excitement alive with every roll and every scene. 🛡️ Your Quest, Your Party: While I have threads and stories ready to weave into the fabric of our world, this is ultimately your story. The themes, quests, and challenges you want to explore will be at the center of our campaign, with room for everything from high-stakes political intrigue to personal heroics and intense rivalries. 🌟 Collaborative Adventure: Fabula Ultima is designed to be a collaborative experience, where both the system and I are here to support the group's creativity. I’ll work closely with you to make sure the narrative fits your vision of heroism, adventure, and growth. Together, we’ll craft an unforgettable saga. 🏞️ Simple Setup, Epic Play: We’ll use Owlbear Rodeo for easy, browser-based maps and tools—no downloads required. I’ll guide you through everything as we focus on telling the best story we can. (We can play without it too.) 📅 Session 0: Before we dive into the adventure, we’ll hop onto Discord to discuss expectations for session length, tone, and themes, and to identify any potential content triggers. This will also be when we start building your characters and shaping your party. If needed, our first session can double as a session zero. 💬 Content for All Audiences: I’m open to exploring a variety of themes and ideas, including mature elements, but only if all players agree and we’ve clearly discussed boundaries and expectations in advance. Consent and respect are key. 🔥 Fun > Story > Rules 🔥

How will character creation work

We will create characters together on a Discord thread (Creating a character is more fun when done together, so everyone’s heroes can vibe well from the start). If this proves a challenge, the first meeting will be a session zero, where this will be included. Here's how it works: Identity: Sum up how your character sees themselves in a sentence. Theme: Choose a big ideal, emotion, or feeling that drives them. Origin: Pick or create their hometown. Classes: Pick two or three classes and divide five levels between them. Attributes: Set the base dice for Dexterity, Insight, Might, and Willpower. Stats: Calculate your HP, Mind Points, Defense, and more. Gear: Spend 500 zenit on gear, then roll for extra savings. Finish: Name your character and decide their pronouns! It's flexible, so tweak things as you go! And consult the books!
