A Table Top RPG taking place in the strange magical world of Alaria.
Heavily inspired by traditional table top rpgs, and squad based tactics games. Adventure through a variety of different scenarios in the isolated colony of Alaria using a refined RPG system designed to facilitate everything from exploration to wargames. Just like classic role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, every adventure has a different length and success conditions.
The game comes with full roleplaying support in the form of a skills system to perform any sort of task, custom character creation rules, and a completely original combat system.
It also comes with a competitive Player vs Player mode with a collection of maps and characters for this competitive mode
In the combat round, all combatants in a faction share the same turn, and can go in any order they choose. However, any combatants from other factions may take certain reactions to interact with and interrupt the active turn.
