WEBVTT -- English

00:01:24.618 --> 00:01:26.618
Hi everyone, I'm  Zoltan, one of the creators of

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:28.620
Awaken, a dark fantasy role playing game

00:01:30.046 --> 00:01:32.046
In a world after a terrible war, you play as Vasalli

00:01:33.650 --> 00:01:35.650
powerful humans gifted with supernatural abilities

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.840
exploring the diverse settings

00:01:37.953 --> 00:01:41.325
facing the dangers and finding your story

00:01:41.394 --> 00:01:43.394
The setting is heavily influenced by Slavic mythology

00:01:43.394 --> 00:01:45.394
and Mediterranean folklore,

00:01:45.769 --> 00:01:47.769
which is reflected in the lore of the game

00:01:47.802 --> 00:01:49.802
iconic creatures, landmarks

00:01:49.804 --> 00:01:51.804
and legends of Awaken.

00:01:51.847 --> 00:01:53.847
We wanted to create a living, breathing world,

00:01:53.929 --> 00:01:55.929
full of lore and intriguing places

00:01:55.995 --> 00:01:57.995
while allowing the players and Narrators

00:01:58.034 --> 00:02:00.034
to choose the tone and background of the story.

00:02:01.224 --> 00:02:03.224
The system is fast and easy.

00:02:03.224 --> 00:02:05.224
We only use common six sided dice

00:02:05.394 --> 00:02:07.983
making it easy for anyone to play Awaken

00:02:08.268 --> 00:02:10.268
The rules are only used when you really need them

00:02:10.503 --> 00:02:12.503
so you can focus on the story and having fun.

00:02:13.949 --> 00:02:15.949
The game encourages role playing, allowing

00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:18.229
the Narrator to reward the players with

00:02:18.324 --> 00:02:20.733
bonuses for their creativity and imagination.

00:02:21.997 --> 00:02:24.013
Preparation for the game is short.

00:02:24.055 --> 00:02:26.340
Players distribute the points between three main attributes

00:02:26.765 --> 00:02:28.920
sub sequential skills and four Gift Trees

00:02:29.401 --> 00:02:32.414
Everything else is a matter of a character back story.

00:02:32.549 --> 00:02:34.549
If you want to know more about the rules

00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:36.569
see the videos below.

00:02:36.634 --> 00:02:38.634
We've been working on this game for two years now

00:02:38.675 --> 00:02:41.258
and we've decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign

00:02:41.314 --> 00:02:44.360
to raise the funds and finalize the production of Awaken.

00:02:45.205 --> 00:02:47.752
The rules are written and the most of the artwork is done,

00:02:48.498 --> 00:02:50.719
but we need funds for the full print run

00:02:50.949 --> 00:02:52.949
and that's where you come in.

00:02:52.949 --> 00:02:54.990
Just choose the backer level your budget allows,

00:02:55.134 --> 00:02:57.134
and pledge today!

00:02:57.135 --> 00:03:00.040
In exchange for your help, we offer you various rewards.

00:03:00.324 --> 00:03:02.324
But the most important backer level

00:03:02.414 --> 00:03:04.414
is of course the core book level.

00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:07.830
Every pledger of this level will receive the physical copy of the game

00:03:08.532 --> 00:03:11.537
and digital rewards including the Kickstarter exclusive,

00:03:12.052 --> 00:03:14.598
saga "The Mists of Kring Valley"

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.378
so you can play right away as you get the products.

00:03:18.305 --> 00:03:20.461
Once we fund and get started on the stretch goals

00:03:20.830 --> 00:03:23.431
the products will grow, filled with additional content

00:03:23.731 --> 00:03:26.150
beautiful artwork by our talented artists

00:03:26.235 --> 00:03:28.649
and various  stories for your entertainment

00:03:29.300 --> 00:03:31.780
If you pledge and we don't reach our goal

00:03:32.510 --> 00:03:35.229
you get to keep the money, but the books won't get printed

00:03:35.354 --> 00:03:38.356
and everybody will be sad.

00:03:38.358 --> 00:03:40.560
But for now we want to focus on Awaken

00:03:40.615 --> 00:03:43.117
and getting it out there. It's something we're really proud of

00:03:43.435 --> 00:03:46.229
and we believe you'll really enjoy it if given a chance.

00:03:48.057 --> 00:03:50.989
So please, help us in reaching the goal with your pledge

00:03:51.044 --> 00:03:55.367
and don't forget to share the project, and tell all of your gaming friends.

00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.002
Thank you for listening, and we greatly appreciate your time

00:03:59.150 --> 00:04:01.150
and your pledge, and your support.

00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.520
Bye  !
