⌚Timeline Reminder⌚

Recall our timeline is the following:

  1. First, Surveys will begin to go out tomorrow. Please fill them out as quickly as you can.

  3. Finally, we will begin to ship out rewards. (about Dec 10th). 



🎁Gift Wrapping in the US🎁

Since our timeline puts us close to the holidays, we have decided to offer gift wrapping within the US. If you plan to send a Fate Finder as a gift, consider providing the receiver's address instead and adding the gift wrap option.




⚔️Goal: One-Shot Adventure⚔️

According to BackerKit, late pledges have helped us reach the One-Shot Adventure Goal. So we will get working on that so you have a fun way to introduce and use the Fate Finder in your gaming parties.

We are still working on the Fortune Oracles, RPG Generators, and Display Stands!



📖A Twist of Fate - Part 6📖

Fenn chooses to answer "A Time" to the riddle. This was an interesting riddle as each answer was possible but clues would lead you to use elimination. A memory can't change in a flash. A Time is not found within. A Dream is not with you in every waking moment. The last answer, A Thought, was correct. But lets see if Fenn can still get into the Hall of Luck. Find out in the latest poll.


Thank you and happy gaming!

🎉Woo hoo!🎊

We've brought this Fate Finder to life! 


Can you tell I am in the Halloween 🎃spirit? Btw, here is my favorite Halloween joke:
     A skeleton walked into a bar and said, "I'll have a beer... and a mop!" 💀🧹


Pre-Orders

If you or your friends missed the campaign, you can still make pre-orders here.


🎖️And we've unlocked some awesome stretch goals. 🎖️

In total, we will also get:

  • Oracles 🔮 Humorous guides for your divination needs! Ask simple yes or no questions, Or reveal your fortunes around love, friends, business, and work.
  • Fate Finder Games 👾 A couple of simple games to play with your new divination tool
  • RPG Generators 🎲 Need something random to happen in your RPG game? Find amusing paths, places, and events to add to your story.
  • Display Stand 🏆 We will be designing a printable stand to showcase the power of the Fate Finder.

We were very close to the One Shot Adventure ⚔️. We will keep the funding going in the pre-order store. If we reach that goal, we are going to write up a short adventure to introduce your D&D party to the power of the Fate Finder.


What to Expect Next?

  1. First, BackerKit is going to charge your card for your pledges and transfer the funds. This can take up to 2 weeks.
  2. Second, after funds are collected, we will send out pledge manager surveys (about Nov 14th). This is your chance to add additional rewards and provide shipping address and funds. It will be very important that you complete these on time to get rewards sent out quickly. We’ll give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it.
  3. Third, we will charge credit cards and lock addresses (about Dec 1st.)
  4. Finally, we will begin to ship out rewards. (about Dec 10th).



📖A Twist of Fate - Part 5📖

You've decided that Fenn will try to solve the riddle to enter the Hall of Luck. Let's see if he can summon his greatest wits, probably not his best trait, to make it inside. The campaign may be over today, but we will continue the story to its end with future updates.


Thanks again for your support on this great campaign. Have a safe and fun Halloween!

43 hours remain... So what can you use a Fate Finder for?
17 days ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2024 at 07:13:15 PM

⏱️The final 43 hours of the campaign are here! ⏱️

Thank you to all the loyal backers and those of you who have stuck around. The time is ticking. 


🔮So what can you use a Fate Finder for in YOUR game? 🔮

Using props can be fun for players, but you need to be prepared. We've thought of some creative uses for this in your game and why this could act as a special prop for special circumstances.



  • Prop for Fortune Telling or Divination
    The Fate Finder could serve as an in-game artifact—a mystical object or ancient oracle that characters consult to divine the future or seek guidance from the gods. 
  • Skill Challenge Enhancer
    During a skill challenges, introduce the Fate Finder as an extra layer of randomness. Players make their normal checks , but the Fate Finder is shaken for bonus effects or consequences. 
  • A Limited-Use, Player-Owned Artifact
    Each player could have a set number of uses of the Fate Finder per session. They shake it to add a bit of luck or fate into their action outcomes. 
  • A Plot Device for Character Arcs
    The Fate Finder could play a role in a character’s backstory or side quest, being a relic they must find or use to accomplish a personal goal. This could involve divining their fate or using it to unlock a hidden potential. 
  • An Important Relic in the Game’s World
    Make the Fate Finder a legendary object within the game world that all characters know of—an item of lore that players must seek out, protect, or use to change the course of history. 



For flavor, perhaps you can have it function as...

  • An Ancient Puzzle Key - Characters must bring the Fate Finder to specific locations or “nodes” within a dungeon. At each node, they shake it and record the number; after collecting a sequence, they unlock the secret. 
  • A Time-Turning Relic - Players can shake the Fate Finder to reset a scene, room, or battle, using the number as a countdown for how many turns they go back. 
  • A Mirror of Alternate Realities - Allow players to shake the Fate Finder in moments of indecision. The number corresponds to a version of the event that happens in another dimension, giving players insight without changing the main timeline. 
  • A Fate Wagering Artifact - Before taking risky actions, players can wager on a high or low outcome using the Fate Finder. For example, if they bet high and roll an 11-20, they receive a boost to their roll; if they lose the wager, there’s a consequence. 
  • A Luck-Stealing Artifact - The Fate Finder can be shaken to borrow a “lucky” number. The number revealed comes with a risk: the Fate Finder “steals” that luck from the player’s next roll, reversing it.
  • A Memory Keeper - The Fate Finder holds memories of past lives. Players can shake the Fate Finder to receive “memories” or fragments of skill from their past lives, or someone else's.



🎖️More Stretch Goals Unlocked🎖️



We will create new Fate Finder Oracles for Fortune to include topics for Fortune and Misfortune. And we will create some fun RPG Generators to use.

See the Fate Finder Oracle for simple Yes or No questions here.




📖A Twist of Fate - Part 4📖

Wow, I'm impressed. So Fenn, lets the thief go (almost demanding his belongings back). Many of you are kind. Let's see if he can make it to the Hall of Luck.


Thanks again for your support.

📦Shipping Update

We were able to get some shipping costs down so please check the updated prices below.


🏅Stretch Goals Unlocked

We've unlocked some stretch goals.

🥇 I've really excited to expand the Fate Finder Oracles. I have a lot of fun with it.

🥈And It looks like we just hit the goal for some Simple Fate Finder Games!
I have a few ideas for some simple games you can play against yourself or another person with the Fate Finder. You should be able to include them in your own TTRPG or elsewhere perhaps as a challenge or tavern game. Remember that these will be simple. There is only so much one can do with only a d20 as the only mechanic.


🎁Gift Wrapping?

I published a poll asking your thoughts on gift wrapping. Do you want it?
Go here for it.


📖A Twist of Fate - Part 3

It appears that Fenn, the Thief, will be traveling through the city on his adventure to return the Fate Finder to Talisor, the God of Fortune. So our story shall continue! Let's see what happens below.


Thanks again for being a part of such an awesome community.
