Tabletop Game Day

Our first Playtest was such a success that we want to give everyone the chance to experience it! In celebration of Table Top Day on Saturday, March 30th, Edara will be at the Game Preserve Castleton location in Indianapolis! We will help you create a character, experience gameplay, and watch the demo in action! Play will be drop-in, drop-out so everyone will get a chance to try out our D12 system. We're so very proud of it!

Edara Playtest

I ran my first official Edara Alpha Playtest last night and I have to say, it was simply a blast! The mission had Crimson Company infiltrating a hospital owned and operated by rival Dust Company! No one consider how difficult it might be to sneak an 8 foot plus Ogre into a hospital! But the mission played out without much of a hitch!

The Red Band Precision fighter used his skills to the maximum to get 2 one hit kills! A pistol shot through the head and a skewer with his rapier!

The White Band Protection paladin stood stoically in the middle of combat, drawing people in and resisting their attacks while doling out some pretty impressive healing numbers!

The Black Band Treachery assassin took a different route by stealthily climbing onto the rooftops and performing a successful assassination on the guard above him!

The Blue Band Mindcraft wizard played the con artist and let herself be captured, only to trick her captive into letting her go free deep within the hospital.

And what can you say about the Green Band Beast berserker who tried to enter through the back door, found it locked, and pulled the door off of its hinges! Then he and his bear proceeded to shred a few attacking forces.

All in all it was a satisfying playthrough! Look here for more updates and let us know in the comments if you would like to be a future playtester!

Alpha Phase!

Now that we have the book 90% complete, we are entering the next set of Alpha Testing! Keep an eye on this blog to get updates on play testing locations, which will hopefully be happening at hobby shops across Indianapolis.

I'd also like to use this opportunity to direct you to BeniBeniGG on DeviantArt who will be doing artwork for our game! Take a look at the work he's done in the past, its pretty impressive!
