Fatebound is a dice-less, Tarot-driven TTRPG where you step into the dark academic world of young witches at a military academy, training to become Fates, the most powerful witches in Witchdom. Players must navigate a brutal, high-stakes environment filled with dangerous Trials, fierce competition, and backstabbing intrigue.

The elite guardians of magical law, Fates handle serious threats to the magical community. Tasked with the dual roles of enforcement and protection, Fates handle everything ranging from breaches of the Covenants to both internal and external dangers. As the most visible arm of the Witches' Council, Fates are both respected and feared, seen as the ultimate upholders of order within Witchdom.

The elite training ground of future Fates. Admission is by invitation alone and does not guarantee a place as a Fate because the dropout and failure rates are extremely high. Out of the 99 chosen each year to enter Aetheria Academy only 15 on average graduate six years later.

Unleash your destiny and ascend to the ranks of the elite!

In this essential supplement to Fatebound, players take on the mantle of the Fates—the powerful enforcers of Witchdom’s Covenants.

 

With new mechanics, abilities, and detailed character paths, this guide empowers you to embody the ultimate arbiters of justice, balance, and magic. Explore the challenges, moral dilemmas, and immense responsibilities that come with being a Fate. Delve into high-stakes missions, confront powerful enemies, and protect the delicate balance between the mortal world and the realms beyond.

 

Hunt for the awakened and guide them to their destiny.

In this expansion to Fatebound, players, step into the role of Reapers—witches tasked with finding and protecting newly awakened First Borns, those rare individuals just discovering their immense magical powers. As a Reaper, your mission is to track down these powerful young witches, help them control their abilities, and shepherd them safely into Witchdom before darker forces corrupt their potential. 

 

The Covenant of the Twilight Crossroads calls for the Fates to protect interdimensional boundaries, so there is no better partnership for Fatebound than the Publishing Goblin project Confluence: The Living Archive, a genre-blending TTRPG where Confluxes pull people, places, and things from one world to another. If you back both campaigns at PDF level or higher you will receive an exclusive adventure combining our systems when we both fully fund.

In The Fates of Those Who Dream you will play as first-year students and Walkers of the Dream, a group of people tasked with keeping the waking world safe from nightmares. Student Yikun Ma has been pulled to
The Dream realm, creating a new Gate between Aetheria Academy and the world of Ajurea. Nightmares leak through the gate and dreams become real, roaming the school's halls. Your group must find Yikun in The Dream and get home before the forces wreak havoc on both worlds. The adventure will combine Fatebound's Tarot system with the Confluence Dice system and give you a taste of how flexible these games can be. 

Fatebound utilizes a dice-less Tarot resolution system. Players draw a three card set and determine success based off of the Minor and Major Arcana drawn. Each Major Arcana presents an opportunity for additional narrative control on the part of the Player or Storyteller based on the position of the card drawn.

Aetheria Academy is the proving ground where Fatebound students prove they have the merit and skill to become Fates. Each of the Five Years at Aetheria Academy, will be filled with rigorous courses that will test your magical and physical capabilities. To be a Fatebound means to live up to the standards of Fates and upholding the Covenant of Witchdom. To ascend to your next year, you must pass all Seven Trials. And failure means the end of your time at Aetheria Academy.

Your trials at the Academy are not limited to your classes and trials. Each other Fatebound presents a chance at new friendship or bitter rivalry. Every upperclassman will see you as a resource to exploit. Your nights at Aetheria Academy will be filled with joyous memories of slumber parties and movie nights, intermixed with plots of revenge and sabotage.
