new version in the making

The sales from this itch.io allowed me to finance the purchase of The Valley of the Dead King (second edition) so 

  1. I revisited the Reference guide for FoA and did several rewrites because of the gained insight from VotDK.
  2. Plan is to make a similar Roguelite version for VotDK.

So stay tuned. This may take a while. The RL for FoA took me six months.

Quite interested. I hope you are making progress.

Hi RemiD2,

Thank you for your interest. The short answer is: Progress got stalled in Autumn of 2025 due to real life aspects.

I made a few changes since the 1.4.9 version, missions like in FoA didn't work well in VotDK, because there are only a few mechanisms in that game. And a little later I got the Encounter decks and LCD for FoA and VotDK.  Third, ally mechanic was introduced, so I wonder who plays this true solo nowadays.

It's easy to envision a scanned in Peril and write a mission around it (each is quite a handful on its own) and you would have a much shorter game experience but still with all the goodness of the full game. I can't assume people will have access to the packs, so I would have to scan them in and include the cards and write missions for them. And redesign missions for FoA to include the perils. Which is more work than I have time for to make it anywhere presentable.

Aside from you there are only a handful of people interested,  so for the time being, the 1.4.9 version is perfectly usable as a reference guide.

Do you have peril cards?
