Introduction to Fallen London Tabletop RPG
Failbetter Games has exciting news for fans of their expansive world of Fallen London. The beloved video game universe is set to transition into the realm of tabletop roleplaying. This new endeavor will bring players into the depths of the city in a fully-fledged, custom tabletop roleplaying system, scheduled to be released in 2025.
Creating Your Character in the Neath
In ‘Fallen London: The Roleplaying Game,’ players will have the opportunity to create their own characters, drawing from the rich tapestry of factions, archetypes, and settings within the city. Options will include cutthroats, socialites, radicals, academics, and other enigmatic beings. These characters will be united by a shared ambition—an almost unachievable goal that promises to impact their fates profoundly. As the official description states, these ambitions may alter the course of London forever, or they may lead to madness and destruction.
Anniversary Project and Live Stream Details
The release of this tabletop RPG marks the 15th anniversary of Fallen London, making it a significant milestone for Failbetter Games. More details about this ambitious project will be unveiled on August 23 during a live stream on Johnny Chiodini’s YouTube channel. The stream will feature Chiodini, a tabletop enthusiast, along with representatives from Failbetter and the game’s publisher.
Publishing Collaboration with Magpie Games
Magpie Games will publish the Fallen London tabletop RPG. Known for their successful indie projects, Magpie Games has also made a name for themselves with bigger IPs, including the official tabletop RPG for Avatar: The Last Airbender—a Kickstarter record-breaker. The collaboration between Failbetter Games and Magpie promises to bring depth and creativity to this new adaptation.
Conclusion
Since its inception as a free browser game in 2010, Fallen London has captivated players with its dark, alternate Victorian setting. This new tabletop adaptation promises to extend that charm and mystery, offering fans another way to immerse themselves in the enigmatic world of Fallen London. Mark your calendars for 2025, and get ready to venture into the Neath once more!
