Alaria: Valor & Company is an upcoming sandbox-style TTRPG set in the fantasy renaissance world of Alaria. The project is separated into two parts, the development of the Alaria setting, and the TableTop RPG system that is presented with Valor & Company. Both are made by an indie team as a passion project.
Alaria is a high fantasy, socially complex campaign setting, rife with dangers both natural and man-made. This setting can accommodate many different types of campaigns, giving the players a vast, treacherous wilderness and grimy, seedy city to play, a rich history and culture, plenty of custom magical creatures, and a slew of morally ambiguous public figures breathe life into this setting that changes as player’s actions shape the world around them.
Valor & Company is a new rules-heavy, low bookkeeping, quick execution, high customization tabletop roleplaying system. It makes some interesting departures from traditional tabletop RPG mechanics to focus on its core design features of Speed, Scalability, Flexibility, Choice, and Depth. It even allows players to play more than one character simultaneously during adventures.
You can find the Kickstarter here and you can try it yourself with the beta here. We’d love to hear your comments and feedback about Alaria: Valor & Company! Drop a comment below and let us know what you think. Happy gaming!
