Fragment

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Fragment is a science fiction roleplaying game where players develop stories about the increasingly complex relationship between machine and human.

Welcome to the Last City.ennies2017nominee.jpg
 
You are a machine; isolated, discarded and possibly obsolete, stored in the Vaults of the City.  You have been reactivated for an important task and, although you know your Primary Function, you cannot recall the past.  There is a malfunction.  

The memories of your human creators are a part of you, and you may experience a brief fragment of these memories as your ancillary features are gradually restored.

In the meantime you explore what remains of the Last City, navigating hazards and seeking allies, on a journey that will ultimately determine the fate of both humans and machines.
 
Gameplay
Fragment uses a mix of simple dice mechanics and cards to allow players to create machine characters and slowly reveal their story throughout the course of the game through the memories of their creators.

On each level of the city, players draw on a range of suggested elements to describe  the journey of their machines.  They must find a way to defeat or evade powerful enemies who seek to block their progress.
 
As exploration of the city continues, the machines experience more memory fragments, enabling them to restore their ancillary features and grow more powerful.  Players may also choose to reveal their machine's primary function to access a specified benefit.

If they are successful in their task, the machines face an important decision when they reach the apex of the city.  Options are also included for machines who choose to explore the world outside the city.
 
This is a complete game for 3-6 players (there is no GM), completed within a single session of play.

Fragment was nominated for an ENnie Award in the category of Best Electronic Book .

PURCHASER
I got this a while ago and was getting ready to run it when I noticed some of the cards in the back are not formatted to print back to back. Pages 20-21, no matter how you flip the page you can't get the seven cards to line up with the seven backings. Please either add an eighth card or at least an eighth backing so it will print correctly.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
