History Of Fabletop

undeamed Oct '12
I'd love to hear when this was actually made. and the changes it went through to get to this point.

I started building it about a year and a half ago, and it went through probably a hundred iterations before the initial launch in December.

I started with a d20-style system, and experimented with just about every dice/rule system imaginable to get to the current one.

Here's an early mockup:

In playtesting, that kind of approach was too slow and confusing, so rather than just try to mimic stack-of-books type games, it gradually went more toward freeform.

Obviously Fabletop is still a work in progress, and there is plenty to improve on, but I'm pretty happy with the current direction of it. =)
