Table-top roleplaying in the post-apocalyptic fantasy world of FROZEN DREAMS and MORGAN BAROD! The Fermi Resolution Worldbook is a self-contained game world (using the GUMSHOE rules) exploring a fantasy post-apocalyptic North America. Discover the mysteries from nine hundred years of future history. Investigate the ruins of a North America gone mad with magic! Explore the enigmatic ruins of the Old Americans! Plot and scheme in the last days of a doomed evil empire!
The core setting is the Thirty-First century AD, when a cruel magical empire is on the verge of finally being ground into the dust where it belongs. But what happens when the Great War is over, and the magical towers of the Universal Dominion are toppled, once and for all?
The charming and civilized species of the Second Republic. No. Really.
Okay, so once upon a time I had this really cool story about the Fermi Resolution, and how it started out as a short story that morphed into a TTRPG setting before morphing back into three novels, two short story collections, and more books and stories along the way. It's a great narrative: unfortunately, it's probably incorrect. Eight years ago I was apparently working on everything at once, and I have no clue what came first. Maybe it was the fiction. Maybe it was the roleplaying game. I figure I'll let my biographers figure it out.
(Note: the art is by the really-should-be-better-known Ben Fleuter. His 'working occult technology' aesthetic was a perfect fit for this project, and I got as much of it as I could.)
Guess the character classes!
The current stretch goals will examine other points in the Fermi Resolution's future history. If we hit the first one, I will release a combination guide and adventure for playing in the year 2250 AD. The scars of the end of the world are still fresh, but the Universal Dominion has not yet risen to dominate the middle of the North American continent. There are more nations, just starting to pick themselves out of the rubble to rebuild. The apocalypse is halfway from its transformation from history to myth. Things are raw, dangerous, and chaotic - in other words, it's a great time for adventuring.
Guess these, too!
In exchange for simply supporting this project at the dollar level, you'll be getting art like the above. At the core pledge level, you'll receive a PDF copy of the Fermi Resolution Worldbook as thanks for your support (which will be fulfilled by Drive ThruRPG). There's also a still higher pledge level:
OPTIONAL DISCOUNTED PRINT-ON-DEMAND VERSION – For this campaign, you will have the option of using DriveThru’s Print-On-Demand (POD) service to purchase a physical, printed copy of the books included in your list of rewards directly from their POD partners at discounted cost. When the POD versions are available to order (sometime after the books have gone to print), you will receive links to purchase these versions of the books/cards from DriveThru.
There'll also be the option of getting signed fiction books as add-ons. I also have ideas for stretch goals and merch, but we should really focus on getting the project funded first.
