We have reached £200K for the project—what a milestone! And we still have around 11 days to go! Thank you for your faith in the project.

Playthroughs

Many of you were keen to see full playthroughs—we have delivered! Slickerdrips provided this excellent 2-player playthrough:

And The Board Game Garden delivered this delightfully relaxed chat and play live session (please note that the length of the video is due to the welcome, teach and conversational approach).

Reviews

We've had more great reviews in, including some wonderful video content—check it out:

"Freaking outstanding game" - Liege Games

And who doesn't love a smoke machine!? ...

"This game is a WORK OF ART" - True BG Reviews

BTS

For those desperate to know more about the story behind the game and my various inspirations, here is a wonderful interview by More Game Please—including some sketches and artwork. I also reveal my favourite cards in Fame and Fable.

Mexico Good Shipping News!

And finally, for our Mexican backers, we have managed to move around our shipping plans and the shipping is now predicted to be around half of our original estimate (check the shipping section for more info). 

Catch you in the next update! Look after yourselves

Stretch Goals, Local Demo and Solo Playthrough

3,000 Backers & £150k Stretch Goal Unlocked!

We’ve just hit an incredible milestone—3,000 of you have now backed Fame and Fable, and we’ve surpassed the £150k stretch goal! Thank you so much for your support!

Stretch Goals

We’ve just unlocked a really exciting addition—new storytelling cards that delve into the journeys of our four heroes. Fame and Fable has always been driven by theme, and these cards will add a little extra narrative for those that seek it.

For those more focused on gameplay, don’t forget our £100k stretch goal: two Spell Scroll cards. These single-use magical items will be added to the item deck for even more strategic choices.

Next up at £200k is a brand-new ally—The Watcher! This mysterious character features all-new artwork that’s a little bit weird. I can't wait to reveal them, so I'll be keeping a close eye on pledges as we push toward that goal!

Play Fame and Fable In Person!

If you're near Worthing, you can get a hands-on preview of Fame and Fable! I’ll be bringing a couple of prototypes to Comics, Games and Coffee (CGC) on the evening of March 4th. It’s a casual event, first come, first served—but CGC has a great game collection, so there’s plenty to keep you entertained while you wait.

Live Solo Playthrough

Many of you have asked for a full playthrough, and I’m happy to deliver! The fantastic Board Game Garden will be streaming a LIVE solo playthrough on Thursday at 7 PM EST (midnight UK time). I’ll do my best to stay up for it, but I’m eager to see how she fares against the monster hordes! (A recording of the event will be available to watch afterwards).

For those more interested in multiplayer gameplay, stay tuned—I’ll have an update on that soon.

Thank You!

Every message, social media shoutout, and BGG mention has helped push Fame and Fable further, and I truly appreciate your support. Let’s keep the momentum going—£200k is in sight!

FREE Early Bird Card - Please read!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 24, 2025 at 01:35:39 AM

The incredible start has continued. More than 2800 of you have chosen to back this game. Considering my funding target was around 250 backers, I am delighted by your collective response. More than 2000 of you have opted for the Legend Pledge and half of all the Vanguard Pledges have been snapped up already.

FREE Early Bird Card - Deadline 25th Feb

One thing that has caused a bit of confusion is the Early Bird Card. This is my bad, so to make it as fair as possible, I have extended the deadline to the end of tomorrow. If you sign up to the mailing list by Tuesday 9 pm GMT February 25th (and stay on it until your order is fulfilled), you will receive a FREE Early Bird Card with every order including the game. You can find the link to the mailing list below:

https://owendavey.com/fame-and-fable-kickstarter

If you're not sure if you're already on the mailing list, I recommend you sign up again to make sure. Please note that backing the Kickstarter alone does NOT gift you this bonus card, so please ensure you sign up to the mailing list to avoid missing out.
