Two days ago, we wrapped up the Kickstarter for the
Aventuria Almanac. We are very happy with the results - nearly 700 people backed for over 1200% of our funding target. That's nearly half as many people as backed the
Core Rules, which is fantastic for a setting supplement!
But because the number is nearly half, and because at least some of those people may have been backing our products for the first time, we know that there are many of our fans who chose not to participate in this Kickstarter. There are many reasons why people choose one Kickstarter or another (or no Kickstarters at all). Rather than speculate why you made your decision, we want to ask you directly.
"Instantly the monster whirled and was upon him like the rush of wind through tall grass. The long knife quivered in its neck, point and a foot of blade showing on one side, and the hilt and a hand's breadth of steel on the other, but it only seemed to madden the giant reptile. The great head towered above the man who faced it, and then darted down, the venom-dripping jaws gaping wide." -The People of the Black Circle
"They were far outnumbered, and the Shemitish bow had the longer range, but in accuracy the Bossonians were equal to their foes, and they balanced sheer skill in archery by superiority in morale, and excellence in armor. Within good range they loosed, and the Shemites went down by whole ranks." -The Scarlet Citadel
Many of the Fate Cards we've talked about so far have been focused on gaining specific tactical advantages in the middle of combat. However, sometimes it may be more effective to just thwart your opponent's plans. As you've seen, the Legion of Set is particularly focused on that approach, whereas the Circle of Iron tends to spend more time building its own advantage. However, both of today's cards are simple and direct methods for upsetting the enemy.
