ArionGames051 Domesday Campaign Book I
Thanks for explaining the details and describing play. Sounds like a great game product. I look forward to getting to play this one. Cheers!
This is going to be great! I can’t wait!!!
Thank you! And if you ever wanted to do a video chat about this, or the AFF Solo guide, the old school element of AFF etc, just let me know!
@@ariongames8822 I do! That’d be great! Let’s schedule a time!
For consumers from other countries, such as Brazil, when it launches, can I buy and receive the product?
The fulfilment house should be able to ship worldwide, but I am afraid that at the moment I don't know how much that might cost.
Wow, amazing, a Brazilian Portuguese version could come out, the public here really values the AFF system.
Hi It looks really cool. I am just wondering if it will stay all black and white or if when you actually start designing it will get revamped. I recently backed FF Adventures because I love FF and the art was so good. Will this have anywhere near the same quality? and what is the expected price range?
It will stay black and white. All of the art you see here and from now on is "final", although there may be some tweaks to certain tiles etc. Personally I prefer the more classic B&W art for FF as that is what FF was always about. Artists like Russ Nicholson and John Blanche really epitomised the feel. The price is not quite finalised but is likely to be in the £40-45 range
@@ariongames8822 Firmly agree. Nicholson's depictions in D&D's Fiend Folio (amongst his many other works) was such a departure for my young eyes from the shiny knight/damsel schtick, perfectly illustrating how I imagined the fantasy world looked in all its dangerous glory. Will always remain my favourite artist for RPG's. Excited to see it launch. My kids have been reading through my POD AFF Deluxe recently and really seem to enjoy Gascoigne's Titan setting so this bodes well. I hope there are reasonably priced shipping options to places like Canada so I don't have to mortgage the house to get it. heh
@@squirekev I am working with a Fulfilment house that has several worldwide warehouses, and sppecialises in boardgames and RPGs, so although I don't know the exact cost of postage, it will at least be coming from North America to you rather than the UK! And I agree totally about the art. Russ, John Blanche, Iain McCaig and so on made the Titan setting what it was and gave FF that very specific "feel"
This going to be awesome, may your stamina never fail
Fantastic! - any idea as to how much it will cost?
Not final yet, but the RRP will likely be about £40-45
@@ariongames8822 Great! Cheers!
Can't wait for this!!!
Will there be a " campaign" mode to use and improve characters between games?
I can't wait for this man! Take my money!
I will release more little promos videos over the coming weeks!!
@@ariongames8822 Cant wait to see more man. AFF is one of my favorite RPGs. And I love a good board game too!
So excited!!!! See you guys in FFF in a few weeks!
I am really looking forward to it. Drop by and play the game for a bit!
@@ariongames8822 absolutely 💯
I am so getting this! Look forward to updates
Looks awesome!!! Thanks for making this video. I was curious this morning when I saw the picture on the Facebook group.
I can see this in my hands. Make it so. 🙂
Looks great (the nit-picky part of me wants to say "Tilt the camera down so I can see the table, box and goodies all the time!" heheehe) - can't wait to handle it and proofread it! :)
Looks great. I look forward to taking a look at FFF5 next month.
Really looking forward to playing this
First😉 Looking forward to playing it. I will also make a good use of the tiles in my solo campaign with the Adventure Creation System😊
I think they will work together very well
I'm very enthusiastic about this franchise and also curious to learn more about the world of Titan and its wild and dark continents! It's a shame that here in Brazil we don't have publishers interested in translating this incredible system. But, hope is the last thing to die, right friends?!
This looks like it's going to be a great tool to add some extra magical spice to a game.
Wasn't really sure the best place to leave the comment but have been reading and enjoying some of the new options (in my campaign, one character was an Arcane Blank and I had to house rule what that meant and I'm glad to see Natural Mage got a bit nerfed because early on it was rather minor but having played through a campaign with a later-on mage it started to feel a bit silly). The new spell casting options make a lot of sense and should make any magic character more interesting to run. However, there's a mention of "waning magic defense" at the end and it cites "Chapter 4" and I think I'm just missing it. I had been house ruling something like using extra MP to punch through defenses already and THEN treating it like an opposed roll but I'm interested in other options.
Looking forward to checking this out!
Thanks for the heads-up about this! The Arion Games lads have been hard at work, apparently. (I was wondering why such a long lull in releases.) I also look forward to getting the Adventure Creation book (quite the heavy tome, it would seem!) and Forest of Doom when available both in PDF and softcover. 😎
I've no idea if it was deliberate, but your blue shirt mirrored the guy on the cover very well.
Purely accidental! My moustache is not quite as impressive though...
Whoa! Wait, wait, wait!!! Are you Graham?!? If so… first: Thank you! (As a Yank who only discovered FF about ten years ago, sadly, but joyously). If I have your ear for a tiny moment…. Please consider a game based on the original, introductory FF RPG (ever, so slightly expanded….like…whatever ‘skill’ you like, or some such). There’s a great clone, called Spellzard! that does that, but you’re in a wonderful and unique position to do it full-force! (As a rules-lite guy AFF is still far too much for me, but “expanded FF RPG” is not. Is there a market there?) Thank you again for keeping this game alive! Cheers!
I am looking at doing a "Basic AFF" box set next year, very similar to the FF game, with player book, Director book, adcventure book, maps, card minis, dice, character sheets etc. Watch thiis space...
@@ariongames8822That’s absolutely amazing to hear! I’m so very glad! Again as a late-coming American, I’m a bit jealous of you guys who had this inundate your childhood (all we had were the rule-less Endless Quest, etc , though Lone Wolf books were present of course they were absent full, personal char gen). Plus I’m jealous you guys had Warlock and Proteus mags. I’d have been in heaven in 1986 (at age 12)! Heheh! Thank you for all your extremely hard work and dedication to keeping this game and this part of rpg history alive and well! (Still want an easily available and affordable hard back of the 2E AFF rules! lol) 🙂 Cheers!
Honestly….brutally honestly… I’d bet ‘basic FF’ could be done as a digest, saddle-stitched booklet (DriveThru doesn’t offer that, but Lulu does). And a perfect-bound could be on DriveThru also, obviously. Considering what Spellzard! was able to achieve and your work and everything else…. Well, I’ll just say: I believe in you. Thanks again!
@@machfront I had a long web meeting yesterday about a boxed set of "Basic AFF" and I would be very surprised if you don't see one next year...
@@ariongames8822 Honestly, the young gentleman who created the very solid Spellzard!, I’d wager, may be someone to speak with. Gotta tell ya Graham… it really is solid and respectful and fun and atmospheric work. Seriously. If you guys worked together!….wow! Just…wow! Cheers to ya both, however! 🙂
I really wish it was wilderness/dangerous mystical forest (at least) as I and everyone I game with dislikes or despises ‘dungeons’ despite our love and experience with old school stuff decades ago…. Our only ‘go-to’ board game is my old Talisman 2nd Ed. + a few expansions. Heh
So the core set will be dungeons, mainly because the seminal FF book was a dungeon. However, assuming this does well, we have expansions planned, the first of which I would like to be a Forest set, with new Adventure Cards and Tiles, as well as additional treasures, spells, Heroes, a new boss etc.
Where is the board?
he "board" is created from dungeon tiles that are laid in turn by each player (or for each tun if you are a solo player). So unlike something like Heroquest, the board changes every time
@@ariongames8822 is it more like Advanced HeroQuest or Warhammer Quest or Dungeon Quest?
Really really looking forward to playing this with my boy
I have played it a lot with my four children during all of the development, and they love it!
Oh, damn, I'm going to have to get this. Oh, well...
I am not going to argue with you. I craeted a game that I would buy without hesitation...
@@ariongames8822 I have far too many of your products already, one more won't kill me. *Goes back to prepping Maelstrom Domesday*
Looks cool ;) Possible expansions can be Wilderness, Deserts and the Oceans ;) Bring Allansia alive!
Caves, forests, snow, desert temples, floating islands...
This looks amazing! 👌
Thank you! We are really excited about this.
Sounds like a good investment. When will it be available? (I assume it will be available on Drivethru in PDF as well as POD.)
I just (as in, yesterday) reached the end of a major arc in my solo AFF game that involved one of the main characters dying, another shifting life paths, some big changes to the area, etc etc. I am now going to run some minor adventures with minor characters in the series and wait to kick off the "volume 2" stuff once I get my hands on this book. Still very hyped for its released.
What software or webiste is this running on ?
This is Fantasy Grounds
How do you get a full set of Dice using the fg aff ruleset?
Any updates about future Advanced Fighting Fantasy products?
Well, the AFF Adventure Creator System Kickstarter is live right now, the Magic Companion is being written and there are several other books planned for this year!
how do i get my d&d group to play aff
Well, if you are talking 5e, one big selling point is just how much gaming you can fit into an evening with AFF. I have run a full 18 room dungeon at a convention in a 3 hour session or so with multiple fights, traps, social encounters and puzzles. Another option would be to pass around a copy of Warlock or Forest of Doom...
Fantastic to see this getting there :)
Looking forward to this. The Director’s advice in the core book is great. This book looks to help us to take our AFF world building to the next level.
I'm another person who has been using AFF to act as the core to my solo games (years of playing Fighting Fantasy made it a natural choice for me and I have zero regrets to going all in on it). I am very hyped for this Kickstarter.
So psyched for this! I will definitely be chipping in, but historically I've had problems with Kickstarter because of my location. I'm trying to remember how we worked around this the last time I backed something...🤔
Definitely backing this. Its shame you didn’t talk about the solo system.
Well, the thing about this book is that it IS the Solo System. The systems used to generate an adventure can be used to generate an adventure for a group, but are also fully described for using that adventure as a solo adventure. So you can create a character, open the new book and generate a quest, sub-missions, a setting that unfolds as you explore it, villains and will allow you to run through this as a solo adventure.
@@bottg Will you be describing how the core solo system works i.e. an oracle for answering questions etc on the kickstarter page? Thanks 🙂.
@@Crinklechip-s What we will do as we launch the KS is to probably do another video to explain how the different components and subsystems will work together to generate a solo adventure!
@@bottg Great. Thanks.
Is there room/dungeon generation ?
Take my money!! So looking forward to this!
Count me in!
It all sounds quite intriguing.
This sounds great! So far, if I am not mistaken, Scarlet Heroes is the only product that covers dungeons, wilderness, and city adventures. I think "subsystems" are very helpful to solo players. I am curious to hear more about your solo guide. One question from my side: Will this solo guide cover Stellar Adventures as well?
This one will not cover Stellar Adventures specifically. However, the systems that have gone into it can fairly easily be adapted for SA, and our plan is to then work on a SciFo specific version!
I've still got my original copy that I bought in 1984. Like you said in your video, at first I was confused because I thought it was just a gamebook, but fascinated by it never the less.
Fantastic work, Graham! Fighting Fantasy is without a doubt the foundation of my love for roleplaying games, and to see it cared for passionately like this is amazing.
Hey Graham, I remember having a nice chat with you at the UK Games Expo a few years ago, but not seen you there for a while. I'm guessing you didn't find it cost effective? Books looks good, I missed this Kickstarter, but have supported most of your others. Please keep them coming :) Cheers!
It is now a much longer drive since I moved back to Yorkshire, is quite an expensive Con to attend and then of course the pandemic hit. I am intending to ramp up Convention attendance over the next couple of years though!
I sponsored the kickstarter and received the pdf. Regardless, I enjoy these walkthroughs and find them valuable. Having the author’s voice to contextualize the game is a big plus. Thank you.
Thank you for supporting it and helping make it happen!
