Fableborne Primordials Play-to-Mint: The Emergence of Esperkins

The countdown begins for the first-ever Fableborne Mint Allowlist! Are you ready to become a Fableborne and save the Shatterlands?

As previously announced in our Allowlist article, we’re preparing for a unique journey. Today, we delve deeper into the lore and the essence of the collection.

Collection Description: Esperkins and the Oath

With the Shatterlands in the grips of the all-consuming Rot, the Esperwood, a powerful ethereal tree at the heart of our realm, is summoning its Chosen. Embark on the Trials and take the Oath to become Fableborne.

Created by the Esperwood itself, magical creatures known as Esperkins travel the shattered plane, selecting those deemed worthy to take the Oath. The Primordials Mint is your golden ticket to be among the first Fablebornes to reshape the Shatterlands. Taking the Oath earns you a unique Esperkin companion to guide and aid you in your quest.

Complete the Trials. Take the Oath. Save the Shatterlands, Fableborne!

Shaping the Mint: Our Values

We aim to create an immersive gaming experience. As we build Fableborne, two guiding principles steer our course: putting the players and game first, and ensuring the game’s sustainability and scalability. This focus shapes our mint design, as we seek to onboard and reward players genuinely interested in becoming part of the Fableborne universe.

Play-to-Mint: A Novel Approach

In Fableborne, we believe in rewarding skill and dedication.

We champion that paid mints, and mints with limited supply, should have a player and game-first route to ownership. Play-to-own expands to play-to-mint.

Majority of mints we observe in the market prioritize:

• Charging a mint price so that value accruals are investor-worthy
• Making utility promises without a clear plan or timeline to deliver them
• Selling out supply and achieving a high floor price

Unfortunately, this means that players who are not crypto investors, part of blockchain networking circles or able to afford the cost will not become holders of an NFT they deserve — even though they:

• Play and enjoy the game
• Provide meaningful feedback that helps shape Fableborne’s direction
• Make the community vibrant every day and help build a welcoming environment

Running up to mint day, we’re going to hold in-game Leaderboard Events with free mint, discounted mint, T1 Allowlist and T2 Allowlist rewards. Additionally, the play-to-mint ethos has shaped our mint price and utilities design as a player-first and game-first studio.
