Hand of Fate 2 Game Master's Toolkit is now live!
Today’s Hand of Fate 2 update includes the HoF2 SDK - The Game Master’s Toolkit! These are the same tools used at Defiant to create the HoF2 campaign our future DLC content. They’re powerful content creation tools and we’re excited to see what you make with them! With the Game Master’s Toolkit, you’ll be able to create anything from a simple encounter all the way up to a full-fledged challenge with its own win conditions, blessings, curses and artefact rewards.
Important note: the tools are still in beta! While they’re fully functional, there may be unexpected issues to be patched later. If you do run into trouble, be sure to head over to the Modding Discussion Board in our Steam forums.
To get up and running with the toolkit, look for the Hand of Fate 2 SDK in the Tools dropdown of your Steam library. You’ll also need to download version 2017.2.1f1 of the Unity Engine, found here. More detailed instructions are contained here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b38u34JAH-16A3PRC5y6fUe9ycGk851mTy5cgjohznY/edit?usp=sharing
Good luck! The Game of Life and Death is now in your capable hands!

Announcing the Game Master's Toolkit for Hand of Fate 2
We’re excited to reveal that next week’s Hand of Fate 2 update will include a long-requested feature: the HoF2 Game Master’s Toolkit! For hundreds of years the Game of Life and Death has been shaped exclusively by the Dealer, but at long last, the power of the cards is in your hands.
Armed with the very same editing tools used in-studio, players will be able to create their own encounter cards, challenges, equipment, dungeon layouts and more and then upload them directly to the Steam Workshop for distribution.
It’s time to exercise your inner game master! Write that perfect goblin adventure you’ve long had in the back of your mind, give it a chance minigame, a tavern brawl, and a unique reward. String it together with a few more encounters and you’ve got a full-blown adventure - with the HoF2 editor the possibilities are endless.
We’re keen to see the what kind of wild and wonderful encounters our community creates, and we’ll be showcasing our favorites on a regular basis. You’ve bested the Dealer in combat - now it’s time to become the true master of the Game of Life and Death!
The editor works through Unity and comes with all the documentation you need to create your own custom HoF2 adventures. To install the editor, simply search the Tools category of your Steam Library for the Hand of Fate 2 SDK and begin downloading the files.
Good luck, we can’t wait to see your adventures in the Steam Workshop!
Free add-on released for Hand of Fate 2 - The Dealer's Apprentice
Today sees the release of the first of our free add-ons for Hand of Fate 2 - The Dealer's Apprentice! On starting a new run, players will unlock new Dealer-inspired customization options, while those who have completed the final challenge will be awarded the ultimate prize: a Dealer companion of their very own! To claim the Dealer's Apprentice, simply head into the new Additional Content menu item at the start screen and select "Claim".
The Dealer's Apprentice is just a tiny taste of the cool ways we'll be expanding Hand of Fate 2 in the new year. It's no secret that we've been working on a full-featured Endless Mode - one that will provide both hardcore and casual players with fresh challenges and a ton of new unlockables. Beyond that (and without spoiling too much), we've got a brand new enemy faction in the works, even more companion characters, engaging new challenges, and some exciting new weapons and artefacts, as well as cool tweaks to a few already in the game (why should Estrella be the only one able to enjoy those flintlock pistols, amiright?).
2018 is going to be a big year for Hand of Fate 2, so stick around, folks. We've got plenty of tricks still up our sleeves.
