Dawning Star: Fate of Eos is undergoing it's very successful kickstarter campaign for its fabled setting relaunch. This week they declared it #SneakPeekWeek where we get to see different pieces of the new book and how they are changing it to the new Fate Core mechanics. Three previews has already been released on the kickstarter update page:
1. Skills (Oct 7)
2. Xenomorphs (Oct 8)
3. Tech (Oct 9)
Some peeps still wary of the specific Dawning Star mechanics additions to Fate Core. In my opinion the changes or additions to the standard rules make a lot of sense to the setting and bring a little bit of the crunchiness lost on the D20 Future conversion to Fate Core.
The second aspect I would like to address is the template of the book. So far we have seen a red colored template ala Helios Rising, a blue template like the original book cover from Operation Quick Launch and a green one in the latest Tech preview. Though I understand the green radar like template of the Tech preview it is my least favorite, the blue one feels right at home, but the red wins the court as it looks new and refreshing while still echoing the original template.
Finally the $20k stretch goal is to have full color interiors, in the Xenomorphs preview we got to see full color images, wow what a difference, that is a stretch goal that we must reach at all cost is so worth it.
Dawning Star: Fate of Eos is my most desired RPG right now, cant wait to play again under the new rules and expanded continuity.
