Wow! The 2nd Edition Kickstarter is almost to $10K and we have over 100 backers. I don’t think I can express how great that feels. Thank you! Hitting $10K seemed like it might be a bridge too far when we launched the KS, but now it’s within reach, which means that we may be unlocking the final (???) stretch goal soon. The HTML generators that will be released are great tools that have gone through multiple version testing and work great as quick-start tools or as prompts. I like that latter function especially because I’ve found that new players sometimes don’t know how to approach character creation (especially with so much content unique to FAL) and having the generators there to provide PC names, races, backgrounds, etc., can be a good way to spur them into telling their own story. A player may not always know where to start, but most have some idea of the kind of character they want or don’t want and a few helpful hints can help their imagination take off, resulting in a character that feels truly their own. Of course, you can also use the characters and other elements created just as is. And if you’re about to jump into a Level 0 grinder, it’s easy to spin up 3-4 quick PCs to toss into action before devoting too much time to figuring out their story. I hope we hit this next goal and everyone gets a chance to use these tools. And if you haven’t shared the KS with your friends and fellow gamers, now is the time!
