The Reviews Are In!

"Then came Strands of Fate. It _is_ perfect for me. ...I've unsubscribed to many of my Yahoo groups and am now focused on Strands of Fate, converting/creating favorite characters, beasts, races, wizards, interstellar scout ships, and SteamPunk dirigibles to SoF." - Michael Tassano (RPGNow)

"Vehicles. Oh man! F@#$ing Amazing! I love it. Simple, elegant, gets the job done. Can SoF be nominated for an Ennie? Vehicles. Oh man! F@#$ing Amazing! I love it. Simple, elegant, gets the job done. Can SoF be nominated for an Ennie?" - Incomitatum (RPGnet)

"Basically, for me BESM can now be put to permanent rest. Fate in the Strands flavor is an upgrade in every way." - Denys (RPGnet)

"Strands has actually ruined me on alot of other games. I tried GURPS, D&D4e, Savage Worlds and others and kept coming back to Strands." - FRWS25 (RPGnet)

"If this game had aspects they would be “scalable”, “multi-genre support”, “well-written”, “mulitfaceted”, “extensible” and most of all “comprehensive”... I would give this my strongest possible recommendation for someone that wanted to get into the FATE system with the ability to play any genre. This is likely the only book you would need to run a long-lasting and varied game." - Tom Morris (RPGNow)

"If I had to take one and only one tabletop RPG with me to a desert island, Strands would be it, hands-down." - Andrew McMenemy

Proofs on Order

DateSunday, May 6, 2012 at 8:49PM

Proofs have been ordered for the 2nd printing of Strands of Fate. It'll take 1-2 weeks for me to get them, but assuming no problems, you should be able to start placing orders that same day.

Good News/Bad News time!

Re: Strands of Fate 2nd Printing

The Bad:
The Strands of Fate 2nd printing is taking a little longer than I'd hoped. Though hopefully I'll be able to get the first proof ordered this week, meaning it should still be out in just a few weeks.

The Good:
The reason it is taking so long is that we've added 32 pages of extra material, and we're being really diligent about scrapping up any known issues or errata in an effort to make this as perfect a release as possible. 

Re: Strands of Infinity

The Bad: Strands of Infinity is getting shelved for the time being. That's not to say you will never see it, but the feedback I've been receiving over the last few months has indicated that another book of tools isn't what people need right now... which leads us to the good news...

The Good: We have a setting in the works! I don't want to say much at the moment, but it's looking like our next project will not only provide you with a ready-made setting for your Strands adventures, but will also show you what you can build with the Strands toolbox.

Strands of Fate "2nd Printing"

DateSaturday, April 14, 2012 at 8:40AM

We're currently working on a "2nd Printing" of Strands of Fate. This new version will contain errata fixes and an additional chapter of advice, guidelines and clarifications.

Of course, if you've already purchased the PDF from DrivethruRPG or RPGNow, you'll be able to get the updated PDF for free. 

I hope to have it ready to go out to the R&D team by Monday.

We'll spend a week looking it over one last time and then we'll send it off to the printer. So expect to be able to place orders around the first week of May.
