After last year’s successful run, Burning Games has returned to Kickstarter to fund the latest entry in the FAITH: The Sci-Fi RPG Universe. The new box set, entitled FAITH: A Garden in Hell, serves as the perfect entry point for newcomers and as an expansion for the previous box. The Kickstarter campaign, already live, has raised 55% in less than 6 hours.

A Garden in Hell includes everything needed to experience the universe and mechanics of FAITH and comes in the shape of a campaign for 2-5 players lasting 10+ sessions. The campaign book will provide a lot of interesting insight into the story and origins of the Ravager, and is written to allow GMs to get started in minutes after opening the box, with players using the included pre-generated character folios to expedite their entry into this world.

As part of FAITH’s take on tabletop roleplaying, A Garden in Hell brings the art to the table: the playing cards are illustrated with corners of its universe and the NPCs and Gear cards are presented on reference cards. Lead artist Arthur Haas has created a unique and organic feel to the gameworld, with the help of some of the usual suspects from FAITH.

The game’s mechanics revolve around the use of a playing deck (an illustrated poker deck) to solve actions and confrontations. A Skill-Attribute system dictates what the player’s base value is in a certain action and how many cards they can play to increase that value, giving way to a ‘luck management’ system that allows everyone to shine and keeps the odds fair.

The campaign is the first of a pentalogy that will focus on each of the five species of the Universe of FAITH. A Garden in Hell will offer an inside look into the Ravager, a mutant step-species that has threatened the civilized Universe. Players will crash land on NT-44 in their pursuit for a Ravager Queen, and their mission will be to capture her and extract war information from her hive-mind that will help the Coalition defeat the Ravager menace.
