About This Game

THIS GAME IS RETIRED.

It is unplayable. Things no longer work. It will not run or function correctly any longer.

Therefore when starting the game it simply tells you its retired.

Below is the information from the game.

------

The world of Ardron is recovering from a 10,000-year war, but rather than being a barren wasteland, it is a place of renewal and flourishing life. With the gods either gone or indifferent, the responsibility of restoring order falls to the inhabitants of six distinct realms:

  • Eimon (Chaos): A realm of unpredictability and wild energy.

  • Elusia (Nature): A land where life thrives, guided by the primal forces of the natural world.

  • Grimlowe (Underworld): The shadowy domain of the dead and the unknown.

  • Sostrum (Mana): A realm rich with magical energy, where arcane forces hold sway.

  • Vidulyn (Technology): A world where innovation and machinery push the boundaries of what’s possible.

  • Yumalon (Overworld): A celestial plane, once overseen by the gods, now left to its own devices.

This setting is not just the backdrop for a single game—it's the foundation for all the games in the "Ashes of Arcanum" pack. Each game within this system draws upon the rich lore and interconnected realms of Ardron, ensuring that while each experience is unique, they all contribute to a larger narrative and thematic universe. 

Whether you're exploring the chaos of Eimon or the technological wonders of Vidulyn, the influence of the war and the absent gods shapes every adventure, creating a cohesive and immersive world. 

------------------------------------------

This is a tabletop RPG, designed for those who love deep, immersive experiences. It’s not automated—you’ll need a group to play Adventures of Ardron. This is not a game with  automatic adventures..

For The Players: As a Fateborne, your goal is to control a character through the world of Ardron, and either ascend to protect your realm or descend and surrender your power to safeguard it.

For the GM: The GM (Weaver) guides the story, and keeps a system of checks and balances to engage the Fateborne, but all world changes require group consensus, promoting cooperative play. A suite of tools is available to simplify your role.

This game offers a rich, complex experience that’s more in-depth than D&D but more accessible than GURPS. If you love storytelling, strategy, and a bit of chaos, this game is for you.
