Very excited to share that the Neopets - Official Tabletop Roleplaying Game TTRPG has a Kickstarter teaser page as well as a Launch Date: Late June is when the Kickstarter will go live! Both the teaser page as well as the Kickstarter page when it goes live is here: Neopets - Official Tabletop Roleplaying Game TTRPG KickstarterThis has been a major project I've been working on with a number of Neopians, including some from the NTWF: Rabbit ♠, Kat, and Herdy.

I’m glad to see this project picking up momentum! I remember stumbling across the “coming soon” page on Kickstarter a few months back, so hearing that there’s a launch date (and that it’s right around the corner, the end of the month is FAST) is a real cause for excitement. Along with the kickstarter page, there’s an article about the game out today on Dicebreaker (a news website that covers card, tabletop, and roleplaying games). It’s pretty sparse coverage, spending a lot of the article describing Neopets rather than talking about the game itself (they call Neopia “Neotopia” haha) but it seems like a good first teaser of what’s to come with the crowdfunding campaign. Personally speaking, I’m a little bit lukewarm on D20-based TTRPG systems these days, but the description of a classless character system + feat-based skills certainly caught my eye — along with the fact that the Faerie’s Ruin is being released as a campaign module. (Perhaps there’s a possibility of more old plots being released as campaign modules in the future?) All in all, it sounds like the creative team has put a bunch of effort into this project, and I’m excited to see that work pay off. Definitely excited to check out the crowdfund when it goes live later this month. (Also I’ve just got to say: whoever came up with the key art and envisioned the GM character as a green Eyrie? I’m assuming that’s a deliberate choice to make a STC deep cut. Please don’t tell me otherwise.)

I hadn't seen this article, figured it was a d20 system from the promo art but didn't know it would be classless. Even if I can't afford to back it for the actual game, I'll throw a couple dollars at this provided it has a 'support without a reward' option (which I think most or all Kickstarters do? Haven't kickstarted enough stuff to see haha.)

I just wanted to add to this that even for people that don't particularly care about ttrpgs, this project is still worth a look for people who like the lore of Neopets in general. Assuming the stuff we've written passes TNT review, this will likely end up being the single largest lore update since the days of the old TCG releases.

Reminds me of when they released The Dragon Prince rpg, and a lot of fans looked into it even if they weren't rpers, because there was so much additional lore.

I'm really excited for it! \o/
I've pledged to get the digital books. (Sadly the physical ones are a bit too pricey for me, especially adding shipping costs.) Reading about all the game mechanics and everything that's being incorporated to the game got me really hyped, though!

I want you guys to know that I logged in here specifically to find out which of y'all have had a hand in this project. xD The Kickstarter page looks great and I can already tell how much work and heart has been put into it. Reading through the little hints of lore and mechanics (the factions! training schools! neggs!) had me grinning like, say, a 14-year-old, and I'm really looking forward to revisiting some of that 14-year-old's sense of wonder and maybe dragging some new friends into it too once the game ships out.
Anyway, I'm unsurprised but thrilled to see some familiar names involved. Genuinely so happy to throw my money (such as it is) at this, and I wish the team the best of luck with everything!

Also for the record, I would like to play in an NTWF group over discord/online TTRPG platform of group's choosing! Ginz ❤ , You said you'd be interested in trying out DMing but I am not holding you to it! (But would love it if you did!) We've got like a year+ before it actually releases, so it's too early to really plan. But I am going to just put the idea out there for anyone who'd be interesting in playing or DMing to gauge interest. Then we can recount when we've actually got the books/pdfs in hand. We might end up with more than one group depending on interest and schedule compatibility, so might need more than one DM. I am very much interested in being a player, not a DM. I'm already DMing a game and can't take on a second campaign.

IIII really should have known some of you guys would be involved in this, that's awesome! I've already posted my initial thoughts on the game and in particular the TFR campaign over on the mini-comments thread, but I am absolutely interested in playing and/or DMing!

I like that the dice set is based on the starry paintbrush. Very pretty! Am excited to see if they make more paintbrush themed sets- chocolate? Maracite? Oooh ooh, maybe cloud?!
D&D is the only RPG I've played that uses d20s + the rest of a standard polyhedral dice set- so I'm curious to find out how the two systems differ! The Kickstarter page doesn't say much on that account- it says the mechanics are intuitive but not much about how the dice are used. I only know for certain a d20 is involved because of the pic of that very, very pretty dice set. I'm guessing like D&D, Pathfinder and its other offshoots; the d20 is for Most Things and the other dice are for Specific Things.
(and holy heck the art is just STUNNING.)
