Project Teleran (working title)

I / THE WAKING

You wake with nothing. Not even your name.

No pack, no gold, no past. Just the Wakestone Glade, a path north to the village of Ashford, and an elder who seems to know more than he says.

Your memories come back a piece at a time: from a stone that only speaks at night, a bandit's ledger, a green fire in the hills, and something waiting at the bottom of the Hollow.

NEW QUEST

Waking

"...Where am I? I can't remember... anything. There's a sword in the grass."

Take up the Rusty Sword
Follow the path north
Speak with Elder Rowan

II / EVERY HOUR

One town, from sunrise to storm

Day turns to night on the world's own clock. Lamps come on, windows glow, and weather rolls in on the wind. Drag across Ashford's plaza to turn the hours.

III / PLAY TOGETHER

Alone, with friends, or on your own server

The same world runs all three ways, so a world you start alone can become your group's server later.

Solo

Your own world, hosted quietly on your PC. Same rules, same world, nothing cut.

Co-op

Open your world to friends and fight as a party of up to eight. Creatures grow tougher to match, and every player rolls their own loot, so nobody fights over drops.

Dedicated server

Run the world on its own with the dedicated server. It keeps the world going, saves it as it runs, and lets friends drop in whenever they like. Lock it with a password if you want to.

IV / THE RPG

Roll the dice, swing the sword

Roll to attackReal-time fights, rolled fair. Tap the die.

Build your character

Six abilities bought with points, eighteen skills, feats at levels 4 and 8, and a background you uncover in the story. A recommended build gets you playing in seconds.

Real-time, rolled fair

Every blow rolls a d20 against Armor Class. Low rolls glance for half damage and a natural 20 always crits, so nothing simply misses. Dash, jump, and read the telegraphs.

Classes and powers

Start as an Adventurer: sword, bow, Charge, Mend and Spark. Spend points on powers like Rally, Shield Bash and Whirl. More classes, beginning with the Mage, open past level 10.

Bosses with a plan

Attacks marked on the ground before they land, phases that change the fight, and an enrage if you take too long. Bring friends: every one of them gets a share of the loot.

Talk your way through

Skill checks that matter. Talk the tollman off the King's Road with Persuasion, Deception or Intimidation, or deal with the bandit chief the hard way.

A world that's alive

Rabbits bolt, wolves hunt in packs, bears mind their own business until you don't. Swim the river against its current and climb to the high places.

Turn the world

Spin the camera all the way round to see behind every wall. Step inside a house and its roof lifts away.

Secrets and a fogged map

The map fills in as you explore. Hidden caches, a secret in the old quarry, and side quests for the people who live there.

Gather, craft and trade

Seven professions, open to every character and all running to level 10. Better materials make better gear, and the best recipes are found in the world, not bought. Charisma even gets you a better price at the merchants.
