Ashes of Arcanum is a Virtual Table Top Role Playing Game featuring Deep Lore, and Bundles of Content, with Impactful choices.



Ashes of Arcanum(AoA) is a game I started working on roundabout 7 years ago.
It started out as another game, which had other games mixed into it.
You can see the Inspiration list here
After Covid. Some programs, and other things started going Downhill. So I started making a character creator for the TTRPG...
One thing led to another, and now its a full fledged game, or at least it will be when Adventure mode is done.

• A universe with Rich lore, With many realms to have your campaign take place wherever you want!
  
• Over 50 Species to choose from, and you can even mix and match them with the Hybrid Species!
  
• Over 10 classes to choose from. Each with 21 levels, 3 skill tree's, and a class feature every level!
  
• Over 100 Upgrades to choose from, which range from simple skills to complete game play changes!
  
• Simple Elegant Game Master assistance. Easy stuff where you need it so you can run the game without hassle!
  
• Super in-depth character creation, All you have to do is pick and choose! but good luck with that~
  
• A simple Tutorial, or an In-depth starting guide for new players! Join and play within as little as 30 minutes, even with no TTRPG experience!
  
• Weapons ranging from a simple sword to a complicated flamethrower!
  
• An adventure mode to enjoy at your leisure when your Game Master isn't around! *

Disclaimer* Some of this content will not be in the Alpha


This game can run without needing steam running in the back. So it runs offline, if you need be.

• Adventure Mode - Game sessions that will run without a game master. These will be premade characters, being led and telling their story.
  
• HomeBrew - Sooner or later this game will allow you to make, and use homebrew content. The Discord will allow others to spread and share this content.
  
• Online Connectivity - GM and Players will be able to connect to one another. So the GM can set up Shops, and deal out loot and experience easily and carefully, as well as other features.
  
• Different Versions - There will be a browser ran version so you can run it on any browser, and a Mobile version for Android phones only.

When will those be introduced? I have no idea. I'm trying though.




Some disclaimers and other information is needed.

I have 7 years of content to program into this game... I started programming in December 14th 2022. It hasn't even been a year yet. and i started on another game for 4 months at first... so.
There will be a lot of bugs I'm sure. My QA helps when they can, but they're unpaid volunteers with lives of their own.

You should also probably have a Discord, or Telegram, or Skype or something for communication as this game has none. I can't even figure out net code, let alone that complexity. I'm lucky this thing boots to be honest.

Also. Don't go into this game expecting D&D or Pathfinder, or anything like it. Expect more... Actually don't expect anything.
Go into this expecting it to be a barely running garbage indie TTRPG like most of them are, but hey its not another clone so 👍

This was legit made for me and my friends, That's why its free, and will remain free, but hey if you enjoy it you're cool too. Join the discord. We'll trash on it together.
