These fools... They sure like to tell stories.
Stories of great triumph and glory, but hidden within them are secret, heavy burdens.
Ready to carry their stories, and the burdens that come with them?

We are very excited to show our next mod: Fool's Fables!
Fool's Fables adds a new type of card to the game Boons!. Boons are powerful cards that you can get when you reach certain ante levels.
There are many boons, which have powerful abilities. But, boons also carry a curse with them.
Boons can have a variaty of curses on them, that change how you play the game, and enhance your run.

The boons have their own special spot in the game, right above the deck cards! (You can see it in the video).
We will post updates about the mod and the progress. Feel free to give us your ideas and thoughts!

Let me make sure I am getting this right

You have some amount of slots for these Boons, and while you have a Boon in those slots, you gain the associated benefits & detriments

do they have smaller, like tag sized versions? I don't quite see how 3 cards will fit in that space

craggy sage
#

The cards themselves get sized down

Hmm, might give making boons a shot

Planet cards upgrade respective hand by 1.5 times per level.

When you get a boon, it automatically selects a curse at random

Ah

craggy sage

The boons have the same effect each run while the curses are random each run

whew, conduct seems devastating

#

it'd have to be attatched to a really good boon if i wanted to take the risk lmao

sweet scroll
#

conduct not claustrophobia?

odd goblet
#

honestly yeah

#

claustrophobia you can at least mitigate with the jokers/vouchers that give hand size

sweet scroll
#

you're understanding that play doesn't mean score yeah?

outer hemlock
#

I presume it's just like the Psychic

sweet scroll
#

^

odd goblet
#

yeah, but still, it could definitely put you in a pickle if you needed to keep some cards in hand

outer hemlock
#

hand size can help with that too

odd goblet
#

not saying it's bad or anything, just saying it's a big risk

outer hemlock
#

but yeah I see what you mean

sweet scroll
#

i don't see it

outer hemlock
#

But still if you're playing garbage hands to keep stuff in hand it doesn't matter much if they score

#

psychic's ability has killed me at max 6 times throughout about 300 hours

outer hemlock
#

It's mostly killed me through forgetting its there and playing a 4 of a kind or two pair without adding an extra card

sweet scroll
#

i usually recover from that regardless the few times it does happen

outer hemlock
#

and it does kill square joker and the like

the arsenal of mods that add challenge mechanics grows...

#

love to see it

#

every mod that adds bad jokers is a challenge mod

New mod from Itay?!

Feder I have some questions. Will boons always have a curse, or will there be a small chance for a clean boon to appear or something that removes, mitigates or alters them?

I assume they're sellable, but do you have plans on including an eternal curse?

Only boon packs? No jumbo or megas?

craggy sage
tawny crow
#

on three, I just didn't know if the later the ante, the bigger pack you get

craggy sage
#

It'll be the same regardless, it'll make more sense later but let me put it this way: boon pack sprite is there mostly because we wanted a visual there

tawny crow
#

I understand if you can't sell them and you only get three packs by the time you're at ante 9.. it's interesting.

#

Gotcha

quick plinth
#

ahhh so here's the mystery project. i'm all for mechanics making the game a little trickier to handle.

wtf how does feder keep cooking

I feel like calling the curses Banes would be cooler but that's just me

I heard that Steamodded 1.0 is coming,so will the composite hands and boons released later still support 0.9.8?

#

i don't think developing with the alpha is a bad idea

#

the only thing that's been broken for me is sound api but that's just because it hasn't been updated to the new syntax

errant forum
#

I'll have the current version working in the next commit just because it's a really small change, I might still port it later

#

(later meaning sometime pre-release)

#

How many are you planning to add?

How is it going ?

Going pretty well, doing some work on porting codex to 1.0, but progress on fables is steady
