Dublin’s Bramble Heart Games are on Kickstarter to fun Fey Earth, a tabletop RPG set in an alternative 19th century Earth.
In Fey Earth, the fae are real, fully part of society, technology and wars. The Irish publisher has until 4th April to raise €10,000 in support on Kickstarter.
Fey Earth stands apart with its dedication to folklore and its potential publication by an Irish publisher. Unlike many tabletop RPGs, the creatures here aren’t drawn from pop culture but emerge from thousands of hours of research into European fairytales and historical records.
Fey creatures in Fey Earth might surprise you with their original, often more powerful forms. This isn’t a world where brawn always conquers. To thrive, players must embrace cunning strategy, persuasive words, and respect for the might of the fey.
Fey Earth is set in the alt-1872 with the industrial age in full grimy bloom. A twist of that is that magically enhanced items are becoming more common.
The fey are beginning to show more interest in the newest industrial human inventions and there is even talk of some human engineers being invited into their cities to look at bringing industry into their lands. The dwarves and frost giants of Jotunheim are especially interested in learning more about modern human sciences and engineering and are eager to trade with human countries especially if it means gaining more of this knowledge.
Backers can, as always, support indie projects by sharing them around the internet or pledging cash. With Fey Earth, those backers who pledge €20 or more, about £18, will get a digital copy of the RPG.
At €30, backers also get a digital copy of the starter adventure. That’s enough to run the pre-genned characters through or PCs from levels 1 to 5.
With worldwide shipping on offer, backers at €40 also get the physical copy of the core rules and a GM screen plus the digital loot.
Bramble Heart Games have stretch goals and, if successful, estimate a game delivery around December 2025.
