Salutations Super Villains!
Today is an auspicious day. Put aside your 2024 D&D pre-release nerves, and come and look at this! Our friends at Foundry HQ have been working hard on their Ember project and I'd like to tell you a bit about it!
What is Ember? It's a colossal campaign designed and hand-crafted just for Foundry, a massive sandbox to immerse you and your players. It's going to add some fantastic features to Foundry, including:
- Support for D&D 5e and the Crucible system
- Built-in puzzles, traps and scripted events taking advantage of Foundry's powerful feature set
- A new Vista system for non-combat encounters, a "Theatre of the Screen"
- A built-in calendar system for time of day, lunar cycles, weather and seasons
- Something like 25000 explorable hexes, 30 different kinds of biomes from metropolis to subterranean layers
- A huge selection of events with outcomes and decisions that affect the story - the module will help you track choices and decisions to allow for branching and unique playthroughs. This kind of thing is almost impossible to achieve in print media. The kind of wonderful emergent storytelling makes Baldurs Gate 3 such a joy to play.
- A top-down token creator (for those who dislike the pog style, rejoice!)
- Are you fed up with running the same 20 monsters that WotC puts in every adventure? 150 fun adversaries are included!
Does this sound good or what? If you want to know more or want to jump right in now, please check out the Kickstarter
