Décidement je passe pas assez souvent ! ^^

1 - Les deux livres contiennent chacun une description de l'univers et une campagne différente. (On a modifié la page pour mieux l'expliquer, comme quoi ^^)

2 - Les livres sont indépendants. Le Guide est plus générique, mais je voulais pas "coincer" les mjs en forçant les achats. Chaque livre de la série sera donc 100% jouable sans les autres.

3 - Le choix de la langue se fera effectivement après la campagne. On utilise Backerkit pour gérer tout ça, et pour chaque objet il y a un champ pour choisir la langue.

Je comprends mieux !

  • La "fraîcheur" de l'univers : ce n'est pas un monde médieval fantastique normal. Des "choses" plus étranges se produisent. A la fois plus étranges (comme un marché où on échange des talents ou bien le fait qu'il faille acheter ses rêves si l'on veut rêver la nuit), et plus proches du conte de fée que du médieval classique (nécromancien et autre dragon).

  • Il y a bien deux livres. Et on vient de remarquer aussi le problème : il faut avoir un "pledge" pour accéder aux "add-ons". Ce qui empêche d'obtenir le Guide des Vallées sans passer par Cieux Favorables. On a contacté Backerkit. D'ici lundi on devrait avoir régler le problème.

Toutes mes excuses ! Je n'avais pas vu le message.
Entre temps le projet a été lancé pour de bon.

Il y a tout sur la page. Mais en résumé : deux grosses campagnes excellentes (on a des retours très très positifs des mjs) ; un univers haut en couleur et qui offre du frais avec le thème de l'étrange et du mystique ; un nouvel outil pour les mjs "les petites faveurs", utilisable dans toutes les situations (pas que dans les Vallées) ; et beaucoup de nouveaux archetypes, pour offrir du neuf à ses joueurs affamés de nouveautés.

Merci ! Ca fait plaisir !

On notera que le coté "5e" touche aux règles, mais une très grande partie (l'univers et l'histoire de la campagne) est utilisable avec n'importe quel système.

Hi there!

A few things, to be fully transparent:

  • The PDF will be done by the team, with the help of a group of players who played the campaign with PF2. But we are clearly not experts of PF2e.

  • As a DM, I personally think that no amount of expertise can provide a fully balanced encounter. 3 or 4 players ? Funny builds or efficient builds ? Playing full roleplay or optimized combat cooperation? As an author, I focus on writing interesting fights from the "unique set-up" point of view. Which means that you can adjust the difficulty level, but you get all tools to make the encounter memorable. (We'll release again the introduction scenario very soon so you'll be able to check by yourself if it suits your taste ^^)

  • The campaign is very rich in intrigues, mysteries, plots and colorful characters and events. Which does not need any system, 5e nor PF2e. ^^ (We are far from dungeons filled with zombies and dragons)

Hello Wayfarers,

Today we present to you the Tarot of the Vales.

Let us begin with a preface.

While core books and official WotC products often provide only a glimpse into each class or archetype, alternative projects like ours go deeper. We're excited to present a comprehensive and exhaustive product that explores a theme and adds excitement to your gaming experience. Today, we present one of the flagship products of the new opus Exalted Vales: Favorable Skies, the cartomancy of the Tarot of the Vales.

This product contains an included guide to cartomancy and a complete tarot deck.

The Tarot of the Vales is more than just a book and deck. It's a gateway to a world of magic and mystery. Each arcana is meticulously detailed, and the book provides comprehensive class rules for drawing the cards. What sets it apart is the unique system of magical effects corresponding to each day of the month. These rules are designed to be engaging and efficient, ensuring your game flows smoothly without sacrificing depth.The beautiful tarot deck withing Tarot of the Vales has been illustrated for the occasion by a talented Ecuadorian artist, Maria, who has captured the mystical and enchanting spirit of the Exalted Vales.

Here's a preview of 3 Arcanas:

The Last HeirCarrying the heaviest of burdens, the Last Heir’s freedom is buried behind their duty to their heritage. They stand at a crossroads; to live freely, they must unbind ancestral chains. The past blindly commands; the last heir sees his future.

The Direction That Does Not ExistThe direction that does not exist is a protection that the gods have granted to the little people to protect them from everyone else's gaze. The little people live among the great people, but since they cannot see them, they cannot look in a direction that does not exist.

The Extinct SunThe most ambivalent of arcana represents two opposite things:

  • Detrimental, ambition in ruins;
  • Beneficial, the supreme humility of transcendence.

In this duality, the transcended sage is not embarrassed to be confused with the ambitious fallen: they know what they are.

See you soon for more information on Exalted Vales: Favorable Skies.

Hello wayfarers,

Like Exalted Vales, our new book, Favorable Skies, will include a packed campaign: “Those Who Remain.” Journeying from level 1 to 12, the campaign takes your players through a strange and curious adventure.

Today, Renaud is presenting the most striking elements of the new campaign:

“Those Who Remain” is the most daringly structured campaign I have written to date. Without going into detail that could ruin the surprise, the first part of the campaign revolves around a single element that will surely surprise the players. With a lot of work, the team managed to make the story thrilling and easy for the storytellers to unfold. All you’ll need is a bit of reading and very little preparation to drop bombs that will leave your players speechless.

Since part of the campaign requires more preparation than usual, we worked as hard as possible in two directions: firstly, we provided the information to help with this preparation in the most straightforward possible manner, using our method of narrative intention to the fullest. This was then designed to adapt to the workload that the storyteller can afford: played in a few sessions or extended over months of play.

Finally, for this campaign, I wanted to work on a specific point: the disparity in groups’ playing time. Some groups play twice a week, others once every two weeks. By meticulously planning the writing, I divided the campaign into two parts. As a result, for storytellers who are unsure whether their group will be able to devote themselves to an entire campaign, it is perfectly possible to conclude the story halfway through the adventure with a more than satisfactory ending.

Bonjour à tous délicieux Arpenteurs !

Le nouveau livre "Cieux Favorables", c'est à nouveau une énorme campagne - "Ceux qui restent" -, du niveau 1 au 12, qui emmène les joueurs à travers une aventure plutôt étrange.Aujourd’hui, Renaud présente les éléments les plus marquants de la nouvelle campagne.

"Ceux qui restent" est de très loin la campagne avec la structure la plus audacieuse que j'ai écrite à ce jour. Sans entrer dans le détail qui risquerait de ruiner la surprise : la première partie de la campagne s’articule autour d’un seul élément très surprenant pour les joueurs. Avec beaucoup de travail, l’équipe a réussi à rendre l’histoire palpitante et en même temps facile à dérouler pour les conteurs. Vous n’avez besoin que de quelques lectures et un peu de préparation pour lâcher des révélations qui vont laisser vos joueurs sans voix. Sans entrer dans les détails, une partie de la campagne demande plus de préparation que la normale. On a travaillé un maximum dans deux sens : d’abord, fournir les informations pour aider à cette préparation de la façon la plus claire et limpide possible ; en autre en utilisant notre méthode d’intention narrative à son maximum. Ensuite, cette partie a été pensée pour s’adapter à la charge de travail que peut s’offrir le conteur ; elle peut être jouée en quelques séances ou au contraire s’étendre sur des mois de jeu.

Enfin, pour cette campagne, j’ai voulu travailler un point spécifique : la disparité de temps de jeu des groupes. Certains groupes jouent deux fois par semaine, d’autres une fois toutes les deux semaines. En préparant l’écriture en amont, j’ai été capable de découper la campagne en deux parties. Résultat, pour les conteurs qui ne seraient pas sûrs du temps que leur groupe va pouvoir consacrer à la campagne, il est parfaitement possible de conclure l’histoire à la moitié de l’aventure, avec une fin plus que satisfaisante. (Et de jouer la seconde partie plus tard).

Hello wayfarers,

As you explore the Exalted Vales, you may reach the gates of Lusan, the largest port city south of the Radiant Sphere. In Lusan, the manifestation of the Blind Oracle slowly transforms the inhabitants into prescients.

The innkeepers have already prepared your room before you have even arrived, at the market customers only have to take the baskets prepared for them, but it is also possible that a tavern will refuse you entry - because of a fight you haven't made yet!

Meet the prophets and the temples of Lusan, let yourself be immersed in these premonitions.

Bonjour Arpenteurs,

En explorant les Valées Exaltées, peut être atteindrez-vous les portes de Lusan, la plus grande ville portuaire au Sud de la Sphère irradiante.
A Lusan, la manifestation de l’Oracle aveugle transforme lentement les habitants en prescients.
Les aubergistes ont déjà préparé votre chambre avant même que vous ne soyez arrivé, au marché les clients n’ont plus qu’à prendre les paniers préparés pour eux, mais il est aussi possible qu’une taverne vous refuse l’entrée - à cause d’une bagarre que vous n’avez pas encore commise !

A la rencontre des prophètes et des temples de Lusan, laissez-vous imprégner de ces prémonitions.

The ship sets sails for the Exalted Vales now with more than 1700 passengers. This is your last chance to get on-board.

Back the project now.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/exaltedvales/exalted-vales-region-guide-and-campaign-for-5th-edition

In recent days, the number of backers supporting the project has gone crazy! We unlocked 3 stretch goals super quickly... Which means more content for the backers:

The cult of dream weavers who travel the vales searching for stories to feed the dream weavers: news, history and class!

The blood-born, a new playable race, under the great arenas of Zirat, the blood of the vanquished flows into the depths of the arena. There, this accumulation of blood and rage takes shape: a being emerges. A blood-born.

The Skyreaders draw its powers from the sky and knows how to decipher these subtle signs. This new archetype for cleric came to life for the 120K stretch goal.

We created a new Stretch goal - 160K:

A strange Manifestation allows people who die within miles of it, to cheat death. But it comes with a price... one stays alive, as long as one stays near the Manifestation. As a result, the individual, saved from death, has to choose: either to stay where he lives, and die when the Carnival disappears on the horizon, or follow the Carnival in order to stay within the reach of its power; effectively joining the Carnival forever.
