I never really cared for the Fraggles

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

Seen mostly good reviews of the Fragged Empire RPG. 

Looked a bit too heavy on the steampunk theme for my tastes, however.

How dare you.


Interesting....

Even the simple incantation "steampunk", far down here in the bowels of the tabletop section, will summon a Gus Imp.

We just usually just abbreviate it to GIMP

This one certainly looks interesting.  Have you played this one Brant?

No, but I've leafed through a few of them, and they look pretty cool

Hrmm.....


Maybe I was thinking of a different RPG, regarding heavy steampunk theme. 

Ooops!  My summoning of the GIMP was premature.   :-"

Seems the original Fragged Empire setting was a Spacefaring sci-fi post-apoc one.  Not a fantasy+steampunk theme. 




The original setting does sound pretty cool.  I mean.. re-exploring lost interstellar civilization?  Hell yes.



This KS looks to be different settings using the same system.  Amiright?

The rules sound much like a tabletop minis skirmish game.  Or as if they were created for that feel.

Yes, exactly

From the top of the KS page
Quote3 New sourcebooks based on the Fragged Empire RPG rule system: soulsborne-styled gothic horror, fantasy kingdom building, and pirates.

Exactly, which is one of the reasons I really liked what I read and wish I'd had a chance to play it.
