Fable on your Table 2e

Fable on your Table 2e  is a solitaire / cooperative print-and-play papercraft roleplaying game with miniature wargame-style skirmishes.

Featuring a robust hero creation system, flexible weapon and armor rules, affordable and easy-to-assemble papercraft minis and terrain, challenging skirmish rules, and an expansive dungeon environment to explore, Fable on your Table second edition is the long-awaited expanded edition of the original, well-received game.

An implacable evil threatens the land, and it will take completing five quests to overcome it. Can you and your loyal companions rise to the challenge and defeat the nemesis, or will you meet your doom at the hands of the enemy?

Explore a huge dungeon with pages and pages of hand-authored encounters. Play out battles with frightening monsters, implacable enemies, and challenging battlefield conditions.  Collect loot and go to town to buy new weapons and armor, learn new spells, get new training, and secure new resources before heading back into the dungeon.

When you complete a quest, you level up.  Completing your fifth quest saves the realm and you win! But you only have a certain number of moon phases to do it – take too long, and evil overruns the land and you lose!

Affordably Fun Skirmishes

It can be really expensive to get into tabletop miniature wargaming, but it doesn't have to be!

While you can easily play with "real" tabletop miniatures and terrain if you have them, Fable on Your Table comes with papercraft versions of everything you need to play so you don't need to have a large outlay of cash to get playing.

With easy to cut-out-and-assemble miniatures and terrain pieces, you can have an entire wargaming setup for the price of some printed pages. 

Don't have the time or space for either?  The game works perfectly well with graph paper, a pencil, and an eraser or a virtual tabletop, too!

And with the cooperative rules, you can delve into the dungeon with a friend.

What's New in Edition Two?

Were you a player of the first edition of Fable on your Table?  This new edition offers a much-expanded game, with a lot of new content, new features, and new character options:

• More terrifying monsters!
• More quests!
• Completely re-drawn papercraft, and more of it!
• A "choose-your-own-adventure" style megadungeon!
• Cooperative play!
• Magic system!
• Companions!

Design Goals

The core design goals for this game are:

• Affordable and accessible miniature gaming – While it can be played with any miniatures you may already have, or no miniatures at all with paper and pencil, the game comes with papercraft miniatures and terrain you can print, cut out, and assemble to get started with miniatures wargaming without a steep outlay of cash.
• A focus on exploration – The adventures involve a mixture of custom-authored dungeon environments to provide a compelling narrative with several randomized elements to make replayability high.
• Versatile characters – You can imagine your heroes to be whatever you want because the game system tracks the effects of your efforts rather than what generates them. And the progression you get between forays into the dungeon give a wide variety of new capabilities that let you take your hero in different directions.
• Fun, quick encounters – The core of the game has you fighting quick, challenging skirmishes as you delve deeper into the megadungeon. Each monster has its own special capabilities and features, but gameplay moves quickly, allowing for several skirmishes in a single play session.

What You Get

Fable on Your Table (2nd edition) comes with:

• "Core Rulebook" Document – Contains character creation rules, rules of play, things you can spend your hard-earned loot on in town, rules for cooperative play, and other options and advice.
• Standard Papercraft – Contains papercraft minis and terrain for the base game. Print this out on card stock, cut it out, and glue it together to create the minis for your heroes, your companions, and other items like treasure chests, dungeon floor tiles, walls, etc. (It's not necessary for play, but we think it's really fun! And it's a dirt-cheap way to get into miniature wargaming on a budget.)
• Realm of the Wraith – The first questing realm for the game. Descend into the necropolis where the unquiet dead stirs and dark tidings are afoot. This is a "choose your own adventure" style document with over 400 custom-written numbered story entries filled with encounters, treasures, challenges, quests, and story.
• Realm of the Wraith Papercraft – Contains the papercraft monsters and scenery that is unique to this realm, like wall burial niches, stone coffins, and hordes of undead minions, plus stat cards for the enemies.
• Sample Characters – Get playing quickly with these pre-built characters that showcase the breadth and flexibility of the character creation system.
