MILAN, ITALY | Need Games has a lot to celebrate after the Celebration Edition of their ENNIE award-winning TTJRPG Fabula Ultima went live on Kickstarter on September 29, and smashed their goal of $24k in two minutes. Currently, the Kickstarter campaign sits at a whopping $750K, and continues to climb. This Kickstarter campaign gives newcomers and longtime fans alike the opportunity to obtain hardback and deluxe editions of the core rulebook, the three setting atlases, and the brand-new, highly-requested Bestiary Volume I. Additional play tools, a collector’s box, and a Kickstarter-exclusive variant cover of the core rulebook illustrated by legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D) will also be available during this campaign.
Forge new stories. Face new villains.
Fabula Ultima, written by Emanuele Galletto and published in 2022, is a tabletop roleplaying game that captures the heroic fantasy of classic JRPGs. In Fabula Ultima, players will gather to tell epic stories of would-be heroes and fearsome villains, set in fantasy worlds brimming with magic, wonder, and uniquely bizarre creatures.
“For our Fabula Ultima community, this truly is a celebration of the worlds we’ve collectively built together,” says Matteo Pedroni, Head of Marketing at Need Games. “And for newcomers, you’ll find this is a very easy game to pick up, especially if you already love JRPGs. If you’ve played any Final Fantasy game, you already know how to play Fabula Ultima.”
