Something is slowly coming to your tables...
What if your campaign didn't start in a dingy tavern?
But at the moment you woke up in a broken, divided world?
For the past... Years, I can't even count how many. I’ve been quietly building something that’s lived in my notebook margins, late-night design docs, and playtest tables: a tabletop roleplaying game built to capture something...
Different
Today, I’m finally ready to open the curtain.
Welcome to the Eightfold Age.
===========================
Why This Game Exists
I love TTRPGs. I love the chaos of dice, the tension before a roll, the way a single decision can reshape a story.
But I kept running into the same problem:
-
I wanted mechanics that push story forward, not stall it.
-
I wanted conflict to feel costly and meaningful.
-
I wanted characters to change the world - and be changed by it.
So instead of waiting for the “perfect system” to appear…
I started designing one.
===========================
What Makes This Different?
This isn’t just another fantasy heartbreaker.
This isn’t just a reskin of something you already own.
The Eightfold Realm is built around fast and decisive mechanics, character driven progression and a world that reacts. A world in which consequences matter - even if you succeed.
I want You, dear reader - to ask Yourself one, single question:
"What am I willing to risk, to change the world around me?"
===========================
What You Can Expect
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing:
-
Core mechanics previews
-
Setting reveals
-
Design philosophy deep-dives
-
Playtest stories (including glorious disasters)
-
Art and layout sneak peeks

How you can get involved
It’s the start of a creative journey - and I’d love you at the table.
===========================
