Franchise

Schurke Pre-alpha preview.

Ashes of Creation will be a franchise.

• Ashes of Creation MMORPG.
• Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.
• Ashes of Creation board game.
• Ashes of Creation TTRPG (Table Top Role Playing Game) is a possibility post-launch.

Q: Given that you said that these story arcs are a module that get placed into the world, do you plan to sell or release your Ashes of Creation themed TTRPG module for other DMs to use?

A: There's a lot of things I want to do when we launch Ashes. One is, of course, a module that's set in the world of Ashes of Creation. Yes, I would love to release a throwback to the original campaign. It's very different from where Ashes of Creation is today. But I think it's- there's a lot of overlap between gamers who enjoy tabletop RPGs and MMOs and one of the benefits of telling a story through different venues, mediums and systems is that you reach a broader audience, because not all of us like the same things; and I think the story of Ashes is a rich one. And because of that, telling it through multiple mediums is definitely a desire. From a board game perspective, I'm a huge board game nerd. I love playing board games. A lot of us at the office do. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a board game as well. I would love to tell the story of Ashes through a RTS. I would love to tell it through film and television. There's a lot of ways I think that the story can be told. It doesn't all have to be focused around the return to Verra. There's a lot of different opportunities across the many thousands of years of timeline that Verra's existed that we can tell the story and even other aspects of that. – Steven Sharif

Just to be clear, a board game doesn’t impact any mmo development. They are 2 very different sets of employees. – Steven Sharif

It is a resource management and combat game with an action economy.
