Violet Fate is a standalone pen-and-paper role-playing game setting about grimy steam engines, ancient mysteries, and the political tensions between the Aplanic Republic and the Iyobetic Kingdom.
The genre mix of violpunk and urban fantasy transports players to the continent of Clermeil, which is perforated with giant, shimmering crystals and traversed by the Stygian Rift - a magically charged, gaping wound. Within it lies the coveted Viol: fuel for machines, medicine for the sick and elderly, a subject of study for scholars, and a sought-after drug among addicts.
The setting takes place in Dammstadt, the cultural and political melting pot of the continent. With an extensive history and the influences of an entire continent in the background, everything exists to provide players and game masters with the tools for gripping stories and a narrative game.
With Violet Fate, a privately developed genre mix is going to be made accessible to a wider audience, allowing interested players to explore this world full of mysteries, political conflicts, and social intrigue. However, time and refinement are still needed. To equip the setting with professional artwork and maps, a crowdfunding campaign is likely to be launched in the near future.
