In 2021, Dingo and her boyfriend and DM Felix teamed up with Hit Point Press to give the world "[[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hitpointpress/fools-gold-into-the-bellowing-wilds?ref=8xfkc5 Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds]]", a setting sourcebook for playing in the same setting as the Fool's Gold campaign..... Which was almost a thousand percent funded within an hour. By the end of the month, it was the second most funded kickstarter RPG ever.

In February 2023, Cryodon Games (the Canadian video game division of Fool's Gold Inc., led by Felix Irnich) released a demo for a DatingSim VisualNovel based on the "Fool's Gold" campaign: ''[[https://hitpointpress.com/fools-gold-dice-death-dating-demo/ Fool's Gold: Dice, Death & Dating]]''.

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler: Between Stella's Children and the Old Society. Although both were cut from the same cloth of Foreclaimers who escaped and survived the fall of their civilization, each one went about the fall-out differently. Stella's Children learned from their mistakes and decided to be a more empathetic society. The Old Society believe they should've taken steps to control Xanu, and double down on their opportunistic ways. Stella's Children adapted to their environment by gently coaxing nature at their own expense, while the Old Society use technology to force nature out of the stone at the test subject's own expense.]]
** There's also a contrast between the two factions' leaders. [[spoiler: When our heroes first meet Emperor Godrick III, he's established as a cold, perfectionist sociopath who has an iron-fisted viewpoint on achieving flawlessness and looks down on those who are flawed and "[[FantasticRacism defective]]". Meanwhile, Elowyn has no such delusions that she's better than anyone else, but has a wiser, warm-hearted philosophy that [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre there's no shame in asking for help or growing from one's mistakes]].]]

* NatureVersusTechnology: In ''D&D Story: Fools Gold'', the Foreclaimers are an ancient race of techno elves who lack empathy, their society was built on technology and advancement above all else, at the expense of nature.
** This came to a head when they created an artificial god out of their second sun, Stella, and kept him locked up for experiments. [[spoiler:The god, Xanu, eventually turned their technology against them, slaughtering many but unable to wipe them out entirely when escaped through a portal. Still, Xanu as a force of nature was able to nearly destroy their entire society, but he still considers any surviving Foreclaimer society a threat to the Bellowing Wilds.]]
** When the Fools Gold team [[spoiler:reopen the portal 3,000 years later, they discover the Foreclaimers split into two camps in the wake of the attempted genocide: One, the Old Society, continued to value technology above all else, while the other, Stella?s Children, believed having empathy and kindness would have stopped the disaster from occurring and decided to forego enhancements in favor of living more in tune with the earth and trying to develop empathy. Even their methods of getting food from petrified rock are juxtaposed: While the Old Society use tech to zap plants out of rock faster, the plants lack flavor and die faster. Stella's Children use druidic magic to coax nature out of the rock, which takes longer but leads to a better crop. Downplayed, since Stella's Children still struggle with empathy, which Sips points out means they could still slide back into their old ways.]]
