Hi everyone!
This is a post I've been meaning to write for quite a while. It's gonna get somewhat long, I think, and it's okay if you don't want to read through all of it. In fact, have a TL;DR:
I have come to the conclusion that the adventure module "Grudge Immortal" no longe...
2020-06-22 14:34:51 +0000 UTC View PostHi!
These days we're all pretty much stuck inside our homes, and due to this my roleplaying schedule dramatically increased. Specifically, I've been running a Fabula Ultima campaign for three players in my area, seizing this opportunity to test the limits of the system in the long run (we e...

Death Spiral here is a little thing I've been working on during the past few weeks. It is a profoundly hopeless dungeon crawl game (some would perhaps call it a deconstruction?) about doomed explorers and their inevitab...

Here we are for another non-core class: the Dancer!
This one's been in the works for a while, and while its appeal might seem a bit narrow at first, you shouldn't let yourself be fooled by the name - it's a great choice for performers, swashbucklers and other "showy" heroes!

Important note: these rules are kept here as a piece of development history, but do not really work well with Fabula Ultima. They tend to kill the action and make the game extremely slow, and do not take into account the many additional classes released over the years.

Hi everyone!
Here we are with another hypothetical class for Fabula Ultima: the merchant! I know I know, this is a bit of a weird one - it's not that common in JRPGs, and the main examples are the Merchant crown in Four Heroes of Light (that's where the picture abo...

Ever since I played Final Fantasy IV and met its protagonist Cecil, I've been fascinated by the Dark Knight. I've always liked any risk-reward classes, and the ability to trade health for damage is right up my alley.

Hello everyone!
