Seventh Son Publishing has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its new tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG), SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventures, Kings, and Economics). This game combines elements of strategy with fantasy roleplaying, offering players a diverse range of gameplay experiences. The Kickstarter campaign, aiming for a $10,600 goal has 37 days remaining until its conclusion on May 17.
SAKE presents an early modern fantasy setting where players can explore a world of muskets, magic, rising capitalism, and declining feudalism. The game employs a full pointbuy system for character development, allowing players to tailor their characters’ skills and abilities based on experiences and traits gained throughout the game. Whether assuming the role of a pirate, warlord, sorcerer, or priest, players have the opportunity to rise to power through various means, including trade, warfare, and diplomacy.
The game’s strategy elements are deeply integrated into its roleplaying mechanics, enabling players to manage domains, engage in economic activities, command armies, and influence the political landscape of their realms. SAKE is designed to be modular, making it accessible to new players while offering complexity for those who seek it.
Set in the Asteanic World, SAKE provides a detailed backdrop for adventures, although it also accommodates play in other fantasy worlds or historical settings. The game is designed to appeal to players who enjoy detailed character customization, a comprehensive domain management system, believable economic and trade mechanics, and a balanced approach to magic that complements rather than dominates gameplay.
