Become an NPC

Hey everyone!

I’m opening the gates of Venia to YOU.

Whether you’re one of our awesome Steam community members or a backer of the Kickstarter, I’d love to offer you a unique opportunity—become a character in the world of Maid of Venia.

You can be:

A Minusculian (tiny, mischievous beings)

A Mud-Dwarf or Mud-Elf from the deep caves of Venor

A mythical figure from a forgotten age, spoken of only in hushed tones by other NPCs

A villager, warrior, merchant, or ghost

Or something entirely your own—this is your story too!

We’re already building heartfelt cameos for people I love—Clark, who inspired so much of this world, Ruth, my niece, and my boys, who each have their own corner of Venia being crafted. Now I’d love to add you (or someone meaningful to you) into the game.

Whether you want a named character, a statue, a piece of lore, or a quiet NPC who says something small but powerful—it’s all possible.

📝 Just comment below, email me or message me with:

The name you’d like to use

Any character type or idea you have (or let me surprise you!)

Let’s make Maid of Venia a living world full of real souls.
Thanks for being part of this journey.

If you want to be a part of Path of the Ory instead please also reach out!
