The initial project will be built around Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition - the most popular Pen & Paper RPG system.
We are aiming to create the entire world presented in Guild Wars, allowing players to experience the world the way they want.
This project is built with a heavy emphasis on keeping the entire project open and available to all - regardless what happens.
Well, incorrect. Our profit is getting to play within Tyria and share the experience with anyone interested. Just no monetary gain.
The first step is to recreate the world of Tyria in a TTRPG format, requiring lots of description, care, and inspiration to deliver the feel of Tyria.
1Guild Wars gives some truly great lore - we want to help flavor the world while letting the Game Master add thier own flavor as well. Quest seeds will allow us to give some inspired direction to the Game Master without taking over the game. And yes - we plan to include the actual story too!
2One of the things important to conveying the feeling of Guild Wars are the dual natured classes. D&D5e is built primarily for single classes, so we intend to work on custom classes to better balance out the feel and gameplay.
3Guild Wars provided plenty of interesting creatures and variations of well known monsters. We plan on creating custom creatures to best represent those found in the world of Tyria, streamlined. This is going to be BIG.
4Our design philosophy here to first get something useful, and then make put it in a format that makes people want to use it. When an area is finished, we plan to present it close to the presentation quality found within professionally published books.
5There's plenty we can do when we finish the initial goal. Perhaps we work on other system conversions, or even start work converting Guild Wars 2.
6We are always looking for people who want to help out in whatever way they feel
