RPG Meets Board Game in Folklore: The Affliction Kickstarter
October 18, 2014 by deltagamegirl22
Victorian Horror found it's way into a board game in a great new game on Kickstarter called Folklore: The Affliction by Twin Fire Productions.
Folklore itself is played as an adventure board game with an immersive RPG style feel, plenty of randomization and choice driven interaction. Folklore also has the capacity for gamers to write their own adventures and add as much role playing as they like to the experience.The setting is our own fictional past, where your characters acquire Lore as they face and defeat the supernatural creatures known as Afflictions. It's a cooperative game intended for 1-4 players without a GM.
If you are a fan of the Victorian feel games, then you'll love this one. The mini's are great and I love the opportunity to either play canned stories or create your own in the game.
Fancy creating your own lore to battle The Affliction?
Speaking of Victorian Horror I would love to see Fallen London turned into an RPG! This looks like an interesting compromise though- might have to break out my wallet!
Folklore the Affliction is a massive, immersive world. AND, when you die…you play on as your ghost!
Definitely showing it to my gaming buddy- if he’s up for splitting it I will totally be backing this.
Sadly only for gamers in the US and Canada.
No. There are international pledged also.
$45 for international delivery, not exactly internationally friendly.
Wish someone could come up with a better plan than charging the earth for shipping.
This sounds such a good game 🙁
Not all of the pledges ship internationally either – even if you are willing to pay for shipping. The top pledges which include all of the KS exclusive stuff have no international shipping option.
