Fools Reborn TTRPG

Creatures of Fate design group's work on the new Fools Reborn TTRPG is reaching its climax! Can you see the steam rising from Great Britain?

We Have a Date...for the release of the Tarot deck...Jul 26, 2026!
Ordering information will be coming soon.
And a few weeks after will be the release of the full game, which will include the full tarot deck.

Here is a glimpse of The Lovers, one of the gorgeous tarot cards used in the game instead of dice. Would you like a sneak peak at some of the other Major Arcana for this deck? Take a look. To see all of David Ledesma's fabulous work, as it is released, sign up for Carol's newsletter down below!

And for those readers who noted something missing from the books... Yes! There will be MAPS! They will be accurate to the existing texts...and also introduce some new places to explore on your adventures in the Collegia Magica world.

In fact, wouldn't this be a great time for a first read...or a reread...of the books? These would be a fine accompaniment. Click here to see what's coming from artist Moreno Paissan.

A Kickstarter for the Ages!

I was honored to be a part of the Unroken Kickstarter anthology project. A grand total of $1,303,809 was pledged by 10,755 for a project of kindness to help members of our fantasy-sf community cope with gargantuan medical bills. With 35 authors donating stories and top-tier artists like Donato Giancola and Todd Lockwood, and others donating their original artworks, this mammoth anothology of short stories and original illustrations is becoming a reality. It's all in the printing and shipping now. For all of you who pledged, a huge thank you from me and everyone else involved. I, like the rest of you, am looking forward to getting my hands on this one of a kind volume.

The Fools Reborn TTRPG press release from Creatures of Fate:

"When I first read Carol Berg's Collegia Magica trilogy I was struck by the depth, balance, and pace of its world building. Here was a world where fantastic things might occur, but where the characters would strive to comprehend and codify those fantasy elements, applying rational analysis to the supernatural. A world where finely drawn characters narrate the mysteries they encounter through the lens of their own lived experience, overcoming their personal circumstances to act as believably heroic figures. A world where the structural and systemic challenges faced by the protagonists can seldom be overcome by might alone, and one where danger remains real for even the most accomplished agente confides. This was a fantasy world that felt real.

- Keith Hiscox Lead Designer - Creatures of Fate

"I've explored the cities, countryside, and magical places of the Collegia Magica world for many years now. It is thrilling to imagine others discovering adventures of their own along those roads. See you there!"

- Carol Berg, Award-winning author of the Books of the Rai-kirah, the Novels of the Collegia Magica, The Lighthouse Duet, and (as Cate Glass) the Chimera adventures.
