Project Update: Chapter 15 - Prompts, Keywords / Our Systems

Greetings, dear fellow travelers, we are going to share some more info of GM Oracle, about the cards, and the system:
Have you noticed that the cards now include words right at the bottom? (You can observe it in these three wonderful cards from the GM Oracle deck) and what are they for? Well, our system has always been based on "activating" that part of our brain which is imagination. With our simple and light system, it's very easy to generate a storm of ideas that quickly fill in the gaps. But what happens if we want to take it up a notch? Or simply, we want the cards to give us alternative but closely related ideas to what the card represents? Well, that's what the new
Keywords or
Prompts are for.
Sometimes, upon first glance, we may not immediately think of certain themes associated with a card. However, upon deeper reflection, we find a myriad of connections.
From romance, one may envision profound and enduring love, or perhaps a passionate and intense sexual encounter. Madness and its path may manifest in various forms:
a simple curse, the agonizing trauma experienced by our character, or prophetic dreams leading to the most cacophonous madness.
Multiple nuances at your fingertips and within your imagination!
Now, let us delve into the realm of GM Oracle.
Through this brief video, we aim to unveil the virtues of this system, designed to assist you in those moments of uncertainty when inspiration seems elusive. For we understand the plight of every Game Master who has found themselves questioning, "What next?" Fear not, for we are here to provide support at every pivotal juncture. Without further ado, we present a glimpse into the GM Oracle system:

Now that we've seen what this campaign has to offer,
it's worth reminding ourselves of the Fatum system. As mentioned earlier, our new adventure companions will surely appreciate a visual guide showcasing the simple yet powerful character creation system that is at the core of our company. Furthermore, this system is now enhanced with the new
Deities and
Equipment cards, and of course, the
Parcae, always lurking to steer our steps to fulfill their designs, so heres a glimpse or the Fatum system:

Remember,
we are very close to reaching the milestone of 1000 backers, which will lead to the velvet bag for storing the cards being printed with
metallic ink (you'll get to choose between silver or gold) ^^
Keep it up!
Project Update: Chapter 14 - Our Statement of Philosophy & Work at Fatum
10 months ago
– Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 11:54:29 AM
In today's rapidly evolving landscape, particularly with the surge of AI, the concept of work is undergoing a gradual transformation. However, Fatum Studio was born from the vision of Esther Sanz, an illustrator who has always relied on traditional methods to craft her art. While she was among the pioneers in transitioning to digital drawing and coloring, she carried with her the essence of manual creation into the digital realm.
Every illustration at Fatum begins with a sketch, and our drawings are original. Although, on occasion, like in any art form, we may use reference elements, the creation of the illustration is 100% manual. Every stroke and hue is meticulously crafted by hand, thanks to Esther's talent.
In an era where everything can seemingly be effortlessly "created," we continue to value personal work, individual space, and above all, personal attention. Our commissioned pieces are treated with the same care. Born from the ideas of our backers, Esther develops the concept and brings it to life, because we believe that when someone purchases a commission, they're not just seeking a final product; they're looking for a personal exchange. They want to feel like they're part of the project, receiving direct attention. After all...
what could be more valuable or beautiful to share than one's own time?
At Fatum, we stand firm in our belief of not relying on AI in our illustration process.
We trust in the talent and creativity of our artist above all else.
Warm regards,
Fatum Studio

Breaking Through! Unveiling the Primordial Pin & two new Events!
.jpg)
Well, folks, we've got our sights set on the next milestone! A new pin design is on the horizon, joining the project's collection of add-ons! Cthulhu makes its debut with the iconic Dark Myths box design,
available exclusively in this crowdfunding campaign. And here's the best part: it's
included for free in all All-in pledges!
But wait, there's more! We're also adding 2 event cards to GM Oracle, and you'll have the chance to vote on which ones make the cut.
So let's go! Help us reach that milestone! If you still have doubts about joining, as you can see, the All-in pack is becoming more valuable by the day! You still have time to join us on this journey
80K Rewards unlocked!
Moving forward, all Storyteller's Boxes will include a set of 10 dividers to organize your Fatum cards by categories. It's a practical way to keep everything neat and sorted. But that's not all—you can also request an additional set if you want to... perhaps to add to your Collector's Box? Now, you can categorize your cards not only by expansion but also by category!
The Weavers of Destiny are finally among us!
The 3 exclusive project pledges are now available! With each of them, you can participate with your character in designing the card for each of the Parcae.
Together with Esther Sanz, you'll design one of the cards that will change the way Fatum cards have been functioning so far... Imagine designing a character and encountering one of the Parcae... who knows, perhaps now you'll have to draw upon memories of a past life that only appear in dreams, or maybe you'll need to incorporate an event... and just as Morta rejoices in repeating, "Inevitable Destiny..." no matter how hard you fight, that destiny will arrive... Or perhaps, while designing that encounter, it turns out that what you thought was one thing... ends up being something entirely different...
Their threads are laid, and we all traverse them without realizing it. Will you rebel against them? Or will you use them to your advantage?
Regards!
Project Update: Chapter 11 - The Arrival of Fate's Harbingers
10 months ago
– Mon, Mar 25, 2024 at 08:53:32 AM
As it couldn't be otherwise, we've been toying with Fate, the destiny, the thread that guides the lives of our heroes and their adventures for years... But the Parcae have grown tired of us taking their place, and to close the cycle, they have made their presence known, disrupting everything just 10 days before the end!
Destiny is inevitable, and our plans are no match for the force of its threads. Three new pledge tiers are going to appear, one for each Parcae: Norna, Decima, and Morta. Each of them, besides including all the content of an All-in pledge, will involve you in the conception and design of one of the Parcae that will be included in all copies of GM Oracle and your name (or nickname) will be included in the cards.
The pledges will unlock tomorrow, March 26th, at 5PM CEST (Madrid, Spain time), which corresponds to 9AM USA Pacific Time and 12PM in Singapore.
And the Parcae won't be just any common card like the rest; they'll be hidden and concealed like rare gems. However, they will alter the outcome of any rolls they appear in, whether it's creating a character using Fatum system or crafting stories or content with GM Oracle... Oh, and each one will have a different effect... And woe to those heroes in whose path 2 or all 3 Parcae appear... perhaps the road to their destiny will be bathed in the blood of Gods!
Commissioned Cards
In addition to these 3 new pledge tiers, 2 new add-ons (not included in the All-in pledges) are already available, 2 types of commissioned cards, cards designed according to your concepts and preferences, from which you'll receive 5 copies (1 signed by Esther Sanz). You'll have the option to customize Fatum to your liking. Additionally, you'll have the option to pay shipping costs in one wave, receiving your rewards along with your commissioned card upon its completion (the cheaper option), or paying in two waves, receiving your rewards when they are ready, and later receiving your commission once it's finalized (the option for the fastest delivery possible).
The Parcae have woven their presence into our campaign, offering you the chance to become part of the mythos of GM Oracle. Don't let this chance slip away—pledge now and join us on this epic journey of creation and storytelling. Together, let's carve our own path through the tapestry of fate.
Roll on, adventurers!
Have a great day!
