Decided on 2250 (First Age), 2535 (Second Age), and 2807 (Third Age) AD, respectively. I’m going to write up little details of how magic is different in each era, and the 2250 map will definitely be associated with the adventure I’m throwing together as a stretch goal for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit. I’m going to be working on the teaser page and whatnot all next week, by the way. Including a video! That should be fun.
This is a serious question: what does this Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit teaser page need? What should it include, what should it include more of, what would tempt you? Don’t get me wrong: I want everybody reading this to sign up for notifications about the Backerkit, to say nothing of backing the project itself. But right now I’m happy just to get feedback.
The latest Timmy story simply isn’t working out. Luckily, I have NEVER RETURN already well close to finished.
Continue reading 12/24/2024 Snippet, NEVER RETURN.Also the day the War started, which is not a coincidence (Don’t forget to sign up for notifications and the Launch Party for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit!).
I was expecting it to be somewhere around the 2700s, since that’s more or less the widest expansion of the Universal Dominion, but the truth is that the Dominion went into a long period of stasis after trying to digest Deseret. Which it had far too much trouble doing. Possibly I should tweak the Vargas-era map, and show the board at the start of the Great War? That might work.
I dunno.
Things are going on. Maps are being revised / updated. This will be handy for a later project / stretch goal for the Fermi Resolution Worldbook Backerkit.
Obviously not the finished product, but my map guy needs to see where the changes will be.
That being THE FERMI RESOLUTION WORLDBOOK (teaser page and launch party). When I playtested the rules, I actually ran an adventure (based on a story from TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 1) for it. This adventure will be an excellent stretch goal, when coupled with a short primer on how to run games set in that time period. In fact, I can do this with a bunch of short stories.
That may end up being useful, although I’m just doing one primer for this thing. Playtesting is, after all, a requirement.

These are the numbers that I’m thinking of for the FERMI RESOLUTION TTRPG:
| Softcover, Large, Regular Color | $29.95 |
| Hardcover, Large, Regular Color | $34.95 |
| Digital File | $14.95 |
I have to think of them now because I need to come up with pledge levels for the Backerkit (it’d be awesome if you signed up for notifications for that, by the way). The book will be about 150 pages, and have a bunch of art. Do these numbers feel right to you? It’s a self-contained book using the GUMSHOE rules.
I’m trying to calculate best costs for the PDF and print version of the FERMI RESOLUTION worldbook for the Backerkit (sign up for notifications here). I’m just not sure what the numbers would be. Assume roughly 144 pages, softcover, color interiors but not the special paper; it’s a complete game, with plenty of professional-grade, non-AI art.
How much would you buy that for? And how much would you spend for the PDF?
I’m mildly cheating, but only mildly. Chapter Four of BANSHEE BEACH had tons of [put something cool in here] notes, which is both necessary and a terrifying thing to do. What if you forget? …I’ve seen those things get as far as an E-ARC. It’s a valid fear.
Anyway:
Behold!
