What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Mostly so me, the devs, and community can find bugs, fix issues, and include content we all wanted.
plus I didn't know how long it would take to implement some features... and well as of 2/15/24 they're already in the game. I'm sorry I work fast.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“hell if i know. i was set for 2025. but the majority is already in the system, but we'll still aim for 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Well we wanted a homebrew system in. and now its in so. guess all thats left is adventure mode. and due to community comments were not sure thatll be a thing so who knows.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“its very alpha. its playable but buggy and very confusing.
you can play it start to finish (me and the rest of the devs have a game going on so...)”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“nah. keeping it free, with options for more content available for purchase. gotta make money somewhere.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“through discord mostly.”

About This Game


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

In the realm of Ardron, a tapestry of possibilities awaits, woven by the hands of The Grand Arbiter. Empowered by cosmic authority, The Weavers(Game Masters), entrusted with the delicate threads of reality, are granted the tools to shape and mold Ardron's destiny.

Within this boundless expanse, The Weavers beckon forth The Fatebound(Players), chosen ones whose destinies intertwine with the very fabric of existence. Their charge: to guide mortal champions on a journey towards Ascension, where legends are forged and gods are born.

As a Fatebound, you hold the power to bestow your chosen champion with otherworldly abilities, drawing upon the essence of the divine. From the celestial mana flows the energies of creation, granting your champion the strength to wield supernatural forces and alter the course of history.

Infuse your chosen vessel with the essence of your creation, imbuing them with traits and talents beyond mortal ken. Together, embark on epic quests and perilous adventures, where every decision shapes the fate of Ardron and the destiny of its inhabitants.

Will you heed the call of destiny, forging alliances, battling ancient evils, and ascending to immortal glory? The tapestry of Ardron awaits your touch, beckoning you to weave a tale of heroism, sacrifice, and triumph.

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

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.
