Found the book in a Swedish store (Alphaspel) in December, bought it on impulse, and it is easily one of the best base rule books I have ever encountered. I will be playing this with some of my students, as we have an RPG group. Their excitement is currently on par with mine. One of them got so inspired by the book, he started working on a setting of his own over Christmas break. I tip my hat to you, Firefly Felix Isaacs.
Hi Felix, I fear I may have missed the boat so to speak (please excuse the pun). I was hoping to pre-order the Storm and Root collectable book expansion as well as the screen, dice and a few other things. It looks like the pre-order has now been disabled so wondered if it might be possible to buy these after the launch planned in October. Or whether the pre-order might be re-opened at any time.
Hey Felix, many thanks for taking the time to reply so quickly. You must be super busy with the launch of the expansion hard copies now imminent and wishing you every success with it. I'm sure in the not so distant future, you'll be telling us about the release of the new Wildsea movie. The Wildsea is pure genius. :)
Hi Felix! I really love the setting, and managed to snag a physical copy awhile back from a local game shop. I was hoping to run a group in person, but the way things are panning out it looks like the first real opportunity I'm going to have to run the game is going to be with a group online. I was hoping to be able to share the Free Playtest Guide with the group so they have a resource to preview and start getting some ideas for their characters, but it seems like there are a few things missing between that and the final game (some Bloodlines, resources for ship customization, etc). Are there any other digital options out there we could look to (or any options for digital copies/resources for folks who have picked up physical copies of the book), or would purchasing an additional full digital copy be the only real option at the moment?
Thanks so much for all the work you and the team have put into the project! I think it provides a great framework for getting into some really interesting collaborative storytelling, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it plays out with this group!
You're in luck! A kickstarter update just went live on the current progress of the reprints!

Hi! I‘m really intrigued by the looks of this game and I love the theme. I‘m considering buying the physical book simply to read through it (I‘m not sure yet if my group is interested in TTRPGs and if I can get a campaign going). I just have two quick questions. Is the game suited for just two people (either as a one on one with a GM or as a two player game without a GM somehow)? And are there any plans for translations to other languages (specifically german)? Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Hello Ulbo! The game can definitely run with two people - in fact, I ran a session with just me and a solo player at a convention last week, and it was excellent!
As for translations, we've had offers from a few translation companies over the years and we have one translation that's complete already (though not into German, I'm afraid). So there's hope for the future, but nothing specific yet. I hope that helps!
Hi Felix,
I've been reading through the starter rules to get a feel. As someone who plays a lot of solo, I don't see any reason this couldn't be played solo as is.
I realize some folks like to have oracles with setting specific results, and it's a fine thing to provide, but totally not necessary.
FitD is one of my favorite systems, and it's great to see something with comfortable mechanics and a completely different vibe.
Hi Felix! I want to pre-order the Storm and Root Bundle so I can get both books and not have to buy them separately. The thing is I see that I wouldn't get the books until April if I do. Is there any way to get the first book shipped first or get a PDF version to use until then? Any help would be appreciated. Thnx.
