The world of tactical RPGs just got a little more crowded—and a lot more interesting. Sawtooth Games has officially launched the Patreon for their highly anticipated project, Revenge of the Firstborn.
Following the successful release of their Steam demo last month, the studio is inviting fans to go behind the curtain and help shape the future of this 3.5 SRD-inspired epic.
What is Revenge of the Firstborn?
For those who missed the announcement, Revenge of the Firstborn is a story-rich, tactical turn-based RPG that wears its tabletop inspirations on its sleeve. Built on the classic 3.5 SRD ruleset, it offers the kind of mechanical depth that modern “streamlined” RPGs often skip.
Key features include:
Deep Customisation: Build a 6-person party from 11 classes, 7 races, and over 150 feats.
Tactical Verticality: Use the “third dimension” to your advantage—angle lightning bolts over allies or use the environment to trap enemies.
Classic Complexity: Full implementation of grappling, tripping, and 250+ spells.
Two Ways to Play: An epic story campaign with world-shaking choices or a procedural roguelike mode for endless dungeon crawling.

Indie development is a marathon, and Sawtooth Games is looking to the community to help cross the finish line. By joining the official Patreon, supporters gain access to:

“The newly launched Patreon offers supporters access to behind-the-scenes development updates, exclusive content, and additional insight into the creative process shaping the world of Revenge of the Firstborn.” — Sawtooth Games Press Release.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about before pledging, the Revenge of the Firstborn demo is currently available on Steam. It features a standalone story involving the Lorekeepers, a hidden society on the hunt for a vampire guarding forbidden secrets. It’s a perfect slice of the game’s tactical combat and dungeon-crawling atmosphere.
