Fabula Ultima is a tabletop RPG inspired by classic JRPG franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. The game achieved immediate success, earning two ENNIE Awards and the RPG of the Year Award at Lucca Comics and Games. Need Games is launching a Kickstarter for the Fabula Ultima Celebration Edition, which compiles the full set of rulebooks and features a new cover illustration by Yoshitaka Amano. Yoshitaka Amano contributed an exclusive illustration for the Celebration Edition following encounters at Lucca Comics and Games, including presenting an award and attending convention events. Amano’s ethereal artistic style remains a trademark tied to Final Fantasy and related works.
