Equip new items to get better stats!

Hello Adventurers!

In Worlds of Aria, you live a grand adventure as you travel from one scene to another to resolve mysteries and fight enemies. To achieve that, you need to roll the dice and it’s important that you succeed!

[h3]So, how can you do that?[/h3]


Well it’s simple: find new items to equip on your characters! By looking around in every scene you pass through and by gathering as much gold as possible, you can get new items which are more efficient and more interesting for your characters, allowing you to have more success in your dice rolls!

Each character has their own statistics: it’s up to you to improve them and identify which ones look more interesting to you. Would you rather improve Run and Jump or are you rather a Stealth player?

So once you’ve collected new items, make haste to equip them so your stats can be improved right away! Fair warning nonetheless: you can only equip two items so you need to make choices.



Would you rather equip a Torch to see in the dark and get a higher Perception or a Rusty Sword to improve your Combat stat? But maybe you'll get to buy a Scepter of Wisdom at the Merchant to get +12 in Knowledge...

The choice is up to you!

Meet the Villains in Worlds of Aria!

Hello Adventurers!

Worlds of Aria will let you live its stories later this year but today, we wanted to share with you a little more information about the multiple villains you'll get to meet in our light fantasy RPG!

Even though we are absolutely talking about villains here, they are not the evily dark villains you may know from dark and complicated RPGs. In Worlds of Aria, you will face grandiloquent villains directly taken from a play. We're developing this game with one goal in mind: to create a true TTRPG experience accessible to anyone and playable both with your family or your friends, even if you're younger (or a bit older).



In short: Worlds of Aria is an adventure game easy to pick-up and filled with unexpected turn of events that will allow you to have an incredible time ✨

But first, allow us to talk to you about the Big Villain of this adventure...

GRAND DUKE


Grand Duke the main villain of the plot and he will be the one making the story moving forward. You'll try to catch him. He'll be able to escape.

You'll meet Grand Duke right at the beginning of the game when he hires you to retrieve a mysterious artefact lost in the depths of a tomb. He will accompany you for a brief moment then trap you inside as soon as he has his hands on the prize. This horrible (!!) treason will kick off your adventure inside this colorful universe.



While being a villain, Grand Duke is most of all a person of interest. Indeed, he is the queen's counselor during the day, while he secretly plots for her demise to get the throne at night. As you may have understood it by now, he is far to be someone you can put your trust into!



Grand Duke is obsessed with power and he's absolutely convinced he'll be a better sovereign than the queen Julia. To succeed, he even created a cult called "The Legates" with worshippers of the Enemy God. They don't know it, but them too are being used by Grand Duke for his own profit.

SPADE


Spade is the right-hand man of Grand Duke inside the Legates but also one of the villains in the first Campaign: A Bad Start to a Great Adventure. He's a former army captain who turned to the dark side...



Spade wishes to help Grand Duke seize power in the kingdom, so you will meet him several times during your adventure. He's an ambiguous figure: he works for the bad guys but follows a strict code of honor. He refuses to hit below the belt and above all, he appreciates all a fight led with dignity.

THE DEMONESS


The Demoness will be your direct opponent in the second campaign. The Demoness comes from the Dimlands, a land of magic inhabited only by demons and separated from the rest of the world by a massive wall. To free her people and exact her revenge against the humans, the Demoness only has one goal in mind: to destroy the city of Varna. Luckily for its inhabitants, you arrive at their rescue to prevent such event to happen!



THE DRAGON SORCERER KING


The Dragon Sorcerer King used to rule over the island of Mykronos and every ten years, would force its inhabitants to organize a large feast in his honor and dozens of tourists were invited each time. Vainquished by a group of adventurers a long time ago, everyone believe he is now dead..;

But is he really?



That's all for today! Thank you so much for reading our blogpost about the villains that you'll meet in Worlds of Aria! Do not hesitate to wishlist the game and to talk about it to those around you, it will help us a lot!
