Fragged Aeternum 2 kickstarter is live + general Fragged update
G'day everyone. The Kickstarter for Fragged Aeternum 2 is live, and 80% funded in 12 hours! Thanks so much to everyone who has been following and supporting this project.
"A violent and dark gothic ttRPG that plunges immortal PCs into the endless city of Aeternum to fight vile Fiends and otherworldly foes."
"After ten thousand thousand generations have each walked ten billion billion years towards the horizon, they shall stand no closer to the city's edge then whence they began."
If you like Bloodborne, eldritch horror, blood-soaked combat, TPKs, being immortal and endless gothic cities, then this is worth your time!
The Fragged Patreon has been a great success and has produced a massive array of Fragged Empire miniatures over the past year, and this month the community there has voted for me to produce 4 new core Empire species!!! This is exciting for me as its been a long time since I added new core species to Empire (about 8 years I think), and is something I take extremely serious as they are the cornerstone of the setting IMO.
The first of these new Species are the Wexians, and will be released to the Patreon supporters on the 4th (along with miniature files). My loose plans are to slowly roll these 4 species out to the Patreon community, then place them into a printed book in the future. This process will take a LONG time, as I want to make sure the lore, art and rules are all perfect.
Work on the Fragged Empire board game is also going well. I cant share any launch dates yet, but if your keen you can come by the Fragged Discord and join a playtest session with me via Tabletop Simulator!!
Fragged: Cosmos is a sandbox non-destructive legacy board game where you will captain a ship, gather a rag-tag crew and travel the cosmos to complete progressive missions, discover new modules and crew, while completely altering the Cosmos between games.
Each game, you will start with an empty ship and a captain. On your turn you will take 2 actions, either moving between planets or systems within the cosmos, picking up crew, upgrading your ship, trading resources, or attempting missions for endgame points. Transport Missions require you to pick up and deliver resources from one system to another.
Skill Missions have roll dice that your Captain and Crew give to meet a target. Co-op missions allow players to work together, sending crew with specific traits and providing resources to achieve adequate or outstanding success.
Time keeps moving forward in Fragged: Cosmos, as your Crew and Transport Missions will only stay on your ship for a limited time once you collect them unless you complete their missions in time making for tense decisions as you decide how to best satisfy your plans and maintain your reputation. Fragged Cosmos plays 1-5 players in 90-120 minutes with many many games of unique content to discover within the Fragged Universe.
Kindest regards, Wade
PS: Fragged Kingdom 2 is not yet publicly available, but Modiphius should be releasing them soon via their USA, UK and EU stores.
I have just received advanced copies of my Fragged Kingdom 2 books from the printers... and they look AMAZING!!!! So much better in person :) They will be shipped out from the factory very soon, please ensure your shipping address is up to date.
Unboxing video:
Pre-Order reopened one final time (sorry, only the books are available as we are at this late stage in production) - so feel free to invite your friends over!!!! https://fraggedkingdom2.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Test prints for Fragged Kingdom 2 just arrived from the printers, and Fragged Aeternum 2!
These are going to be spectacular books, and I cant wait to sit them alongside my FE2 Books on the shelf!
Timeline: I think printing should take 1 month, then 1 month for shipping, then maybe 3 weeks for postage (if all goes to plan... geopolitics being what it is at the moment things may be slowed down a little, but I'm not expecting any big issues).
Dice production will take 2 months, but shipping should only take a couple of weeks (as they go via air from Europe).
The Adventure PDF (and all PDFs for the later backers) should go out next week.
Fragged Aeternum 2: And the next adventure begins! I've just launched the pre-launch page for my gothic horror (and very Bloodborne-like) ttRPG: Fragged Aeternum 2 . My hope is to launch mid year (and once we have enough signups and Fragged Kingdom 2 is fullfilled).
"Meredith turned to the slick battlefield, the lashing rain forcing her to clear strands of sopping chestnut hair from her face. Terrified faces peeked out from windows, affluent locals too used to their local security taking care of the riff raff, and servants cursing their luck for having to work beyond midnight..."
So why am I using Kickstarter and not BackerKit for FA2? Well... both platforms cost about the same, BackerKit has a superior pre-order/post-campaign system IMO, but in a million little ways I like Kickstarter better, especially when it comes to UX (user experience). I'm also put off by how BackerKit pushes me to email you guys so much, and does not allow me to send individual backers messages. There is no single issue... but if both cost the same and one gives a better experience for me and for you, then I think I want to go back to the superior system.

Hi Wade,
I just got a message from DHL here in Germany stating that import duties of €17.90 (including a €7.50 disbursement fee and the applicable VAT) must be paid in cash upon delivery.
I assumed that EU-Friendly Shipping meant that I had already paid all taxes and import duties. Did Morpheus make a mistake with the customs declaration again?
Or did I overlook something, and I was always supposed to pay these charges upon delivery?
