Studio Agate has launched a comprehensive digital tabletop campaign on Humble Bundle, offering 69 items from their acclaimed Fateforge roleplaying game line. The “World of Fateforge Megabundle” arrives at a remarkably busy time for the French publisher, aligning directly with their current Kickstarter campaign designed to modernise the swashbuckling classic, 7th Sea.
Benefitting the charity ComicBooks For Kids!, the bundle provides a vast library for players looking to explore Eana, a colourful yet perilous dark fantasy setting powered by an augmented modular version of the 5th Edition ruleset. At a $25 threshold, players gain access to a staggering array of digital assets, ranging from the core rulebooks and sprawling bestiaries to STL files for 3D printing and numerous scenario modules.
Exploring Eana and the Netherworld
Rather than simply painting a new setting over standard mechanics, Fateforge alters the engine of 5th Edition to better suit its narrative tone. The system introduces modular rules for character creation, gritty survival, and a revised approach to arcane arts. Magic is treated with reverence and with danger, featuring concepts such as geomagics, the Awakening, and the creeping threat of corruption.
The setting itself is vast, but much of the conflict centres on the Netherworld and the insidious, spreading threat known as Canker. Players must navigate political machinations in the bustling Free City, defend against the brutal Kaani Hordes, and descend into subterranean depths to face ancient aberrations.
The Megabundle Tiers
The entry tier is set at $15 and includes 25 items, with a heavy emphasis on visual assets and player utility. This level includes the Player’s Guide and Spellcaster’s Guide, alongside an array of high-resolution battlemaps depicting lairs for liches, aboleths, and dragons. It also supplies familiar sheets, character sheets, and desktop wallpapers.
The $25 threshold unlocks the complete 69-item collection, delivering the true substance of the Fateforge universe. This tier includes:
- Adventurers (The 398-page core rulebook)
- Grimoire (A 318-page expansion focused entirely on magic, corruption, and new spells)
- Creatures Volumes 1 and 2 (Massive bestiaries that introduce new playable species and hundreds of monsters, heavily detailing the Netherworld)
- Encyclopedia Volumes 1 and 2 (Exhaustive lore books providing ready-to-use cities, NPCs, and plot hooks)
- A suite of STL files for 3D printing, including the Agate Dragon, Peacat, and Kaani Crab
- Dozens of scenario modules and short adventures, such as Cankerous Infestation, The Ludicrous Feast, and Fort Ardraco
- Extensive cartography sets, GM screens, and tarot-sized digital cards for treasures and conditions
The sheer volume of high-quality production material in this bundle demonstrates exactly why Studio Agate is trusted to handle the highly anticipated third edition of 7th Sea. It offers an immediate, incredibly deep sandbox for any gaming table looking to pivot their 5th Edition mechanics into a darker, highly detailed world.
