Fallen London: The Roleplaying Game

Great minds think alike I see. I mentioned trying to find a rule system to play Fallen London to a friend a while back and his immediate reaction was to pitch me on Blades in the Dark

The Q&A is tonight if anyone wants to come by! It’s going to be on Kat Brewster’s channel as Johnny sadly had to drop out, but I think a grand time will be had anyhow.

I am extremely excited about this! I’ll definitely be backing this game (I have never done that before). ngl, I was shrieking with joy when I read the announcement :smiley:

Particularly looking forward to the implementation of Parabola. In my last Blades in the Dark campaign (…we seem to have a theme going on here…!) I included dream lands, some areas of which were very parabolan. Included cats/tigers and Glasswork as well, and a great time was had by all.

Been pondering whether I should put a bit of Parabola into my current Call of Cthulhu game as well… (what can I say, I’m a simple gentleperson who simply loves Dreamlands and felines).

Anyways, very much looking forward to the game, and my group would definitely be up for that experience! Particularly the Londoners ;)

(…shriek of joy)

The first PDF Preview is out! Sadly, it lacks the character options and setting chapters, but I guess those are coming in July? In the meantime the other chapters do have snippets like this that I’m enjoying:

It’s odd that the Skinned Frisian has ā€œone eye peaking out, gleaming blueā€ when the portrait right above that description has an eye that’s clearly brown.

Also, it’s too bad we couldn’t get the other Masters as Principals. I’d love a writeup about Happles, or Pages, or Spices. Page space limits are a sad thing.

I’m really struggling with Backerkit, they wouldn’t accept my password and then never sent me an email to reset it.

When you say password, do you mean your email address? Sorry if that comes across as a stupid question. But when I got the email and went to backerkit, it asked me to sign in and I couldn’t find that I even had a password.

All the page offered was for me to complete my survey, which I did ages ago. But entering my email address led me to the correct download page (and no survey was in evidence).

My impression was that things are a bit of a mess over there.

The email they originally sent you with your survey should have the link to your personal rewards list, which includes the preview PDF!

I would really love to see a competition-ready TCG based on the Fallen London lore in future. Think Pokemon or Magic the Gathering.

That actually worked! Thanks!

Not quite, bit I entered my email and they sent me the survey results again, so that worked.

There’s more about the Masters coming!

Oh and lol on the eye colour, worth sending feedback about that!

I’ve sent in an email! Will more profiles on the Masters as Principals be in the Guide to London, then?

Edit: Also, I’m surprised it looks like you’ll be able to play a human, a clay man, a rubbery, and a rat - but no option for devils? I’d think a lot of people would want to play them (and cats. I mean, if there’s options for rats…)

Definitely cats. :cat: Though I’d take tigers at a pinch. :tiger:

Oh yeah, a playable tiger would be great too!

I guess the next thing will be the fashion guide. Does anyone have any particular items they want to see? I hope the rest of the Whitsun items get converted, I’d like to see what they all do. Do the Chitin-Fur boots have any antigravity properties, what can the Catgut skein be used for? The Ratket items, too - does the Fecund Amber Tiara do anything interesting, or the Vakeskin Boots? And in the miscellaneous category, I’m rather curious to see what the Semiotic Monocle or the Always Returning Glim Earring might do.
