state of the game

Welcome to Fable's first State of the Game!
This SOTG is written by mod Fawn who is the lead designer and event writer for Fable!

Thank you everyone who has participated in Fable so far! I spent most of last year daydreaming about making a cottagecore themed DWRP game, and I can't show gratitude enough to the players who have joined now that it's finally happened. This SOTG is to highlight some future intentions for Fable, as well as provide the opportunity for players to pitch in on what they would like to see.

endgame

First things first: I want to inform Fable's playerbase about the prospective date for endgame. That's right! Unfortunately, Fable will have an end date. The lore of Fable revolves around a dragon looking to recover his kidnapped siblings - and while the regular wholesome cottagecore activities will happen alongside this, endgame will become a little bit more fantasy and adventure themed in anticipation of uncovering this mystery to 'complete' the game.

Endgame will happen on December 31st 2023.

December will be our last month! The start of the month will feature the final event. Fable started in winter, and it will end in winter - The intention with this RP project is for people to enjoy playing characters in a cottagecore setting which corresponds with the real-world (northern hemisphere) seasons. The game's namesake, 'Fable', implies that characters are part of a story - which will inevitably come to an end.

When endgame happens, the story of the game will conclude, and characters will have the opportunity to go back to their home worlds. The Fae will cast a spell to send the stardust fragment taken from your character to rejoin them with all their brand new memories and experiences attached. If someone wants to join another character that they have built close CR with, they will be given an amulet which allows cross-world travelling. Hardly any time at all will have passed since the departure from their home world, which will make Fable feel like a dream. Previous players will be invited back for one last hurrah before it ends.



All the effort to collect furniture and to build a cottage life will not go to waste! Characters can choose to have their cottage and all of their belongings to return back with them - or, if they prefer, they can have a miniature figurine set for them to reminisce on. In addition to this, a storybook of their in-game adventure will become a physical copy. That's right! They'll get to keep a Fable of their time in Fable!

feedback & suggestions

I'd love to hear any suggestions on what to consider implementing in future events or for the plot! I would really love to engage the players and increase the game's pace - so all and any suggestions are welcome! I realistically won't be able to take everything on board, but all feedback is greatly appreciated and will be reviewed by myself and the other mods. We want to ensure that Fable is a fun game to look back on and an overall enjoyable experience for everyone who apps here.

Thank you again for being here! I'm so grateful! - Mod Fawn
