Carnage & Aether: Revenants of Veldonia 2024

Condemned to the Veldonian arena for your crimes, you are faced with a single chance to recover your life: fight countless battles to prove your mastery in combat and become Reborn. Carnage & Aether: Revenants of Veldonia is a tactical arena battler set in the world of Ker Nethalas in which your character must face terrible creatures and ruthless warriors as they climb through the ranks, seeking glory and redemption.

Carnage & Aether: Revenants of Veldonia features:

A simple, intuitive D100 ruleset that both veterans and newcomers to tabletop games can grasp in a matter of minutes.

Rich and detailed tactical combat that takes place in a grid map representing the Veldonian arena. Hit locations, multiple critical hit tables, defensive moves, and everything you need to bring brutal arena battles to life!

Near-infinite character builds. Instead of relying on classes, a character’s abilities and capabilities depend on the gear they have equipped. Tired of being a necromancer that shoots fireballs and wields a two-handed axe? Swap up your gear and become an ice-wielding warrior, a deadly sharpshooter, an assassin, or anything you can think of.

All gear is crafted based on the materials you obtain after defeating your enemies. Craft unique sets of gear to take advantage of an enemy’s weaknesses, and slowly but surely unlock the hundreds of different powers available to your character.

Patrons are an important source of benefits and support, so you must make sure you pick the one that will support you on your chosen path!

Dozens of different enemies, from terrible skeletons to enormous lizards, and anything in between, each one with their own behavior tables and actions, so you never know what to expect!

Complex Elite enemy fights that require you to completely change your usual strategies. Make sure you chop off that dangerous tentacle, or get rid of that armored tail, if you want to win the fight! Each Elite has a number of phases that you must go through before defeating them, gaining different abilities and actions!

Seven different types of matches, because not all fights must be to the death!

Written to be played solo or co-op, regardless of how many players there are! The game will throw you the exact challenge you need to have a balanced and fun fight.
