Eternity TTRPG

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ytddTkKJQQ Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG YouTube channel, where I talk about different happenings in the tabletop role play universe, as well as the role play game that my husband and I have been creating and we recently released our first product of. So this go around, I am going to finish up the Crooked Moon races. There are quite a few in the Crooked Moon universe, so it's taken a while to get through them, but I have three left, and those three we're gonna cover. So I have the Deepborn, Azureborn, and Bogborn. Now, the theme with Crooked Moon is that they're all horror related in a way. They give you an eerie feeling, um, they're kind of like our worst nightmares put into D&D, right? So to jump right in with that, we're gonna go with the Deepborn first. So think of the Deepborn as a sea monster, for lack of a better term, right? So you have this eldritch knowledge that they're using, and [00:01:00] because they're, like, Deepborn and in the sea, there's a lot of things about them that human races wouldn't understand. So you get to really take this idea of understanding and knowing and kind of run with it, and it's almost like whatever you say in the campaign is true because you're just this cosmic being of sorts that gets to decide what's true about your race, right? Um, another way that I think of them is kind of alien-ish or there was, um, a Netflix movie that came out recently that I would think of them as. Um, it was a really neat movie, like, this, um, family got stuck inside their house because of these water beings. Recommend it. But continuing on, they're just super creepy and could be really fun to play because of how creepy they are, right? Because they're always gonna have this, um- kind of gibberish going on in their brain that they're probably spewing out because of the eldritch knowledge that they have. Um, not to mention being sea monsters, they're gonna be [00:02:00] amphibious, so you're gonna have that water to land going on. You're gonna have maybe some dark vision available, so that could be a really neat play, never having to need the light. Um, but could that also play against you? Like not needing to be in the light, maybe you're fearful of it as your character. Kind of a cool idea. Um, other character ideas is, um, what if your Deepborn character was absolutely terrified of the ocean even though they're able to breathe underwater and basically come from the sea? Um, other thing that I've already touched on is that they kind of hear these whispers in gibberish from eldritch, that eldritch knowledge, um, and it can be a lot of like the, "Whoa, what was that? Did you guys hear that?" And they could just be always feeding the campaign in that way. Um, other thing is like treating things that are not normal by human standards as [00:03:00] completely normal. Um, these incomprehensible like cosmic entities could be really cool. Um, and the other thing is like the Deepborn could genuinely not understand why their behavior is so disturbing to the party. So super fun. I think that could be a really cool take on it, any of those ideas that you could go with. I just like the idea of a sea monster kind of thing because I think I always thought, you know, the ocean is very unexplored. Um, it's definitely the last wonders of the world, right? 'Cause we can't go as deep as we'd like to in it, and it would just be cool to get to experience that as a sea creature. Eternity TTRPG has released a card game battler which emulates combat from the tabletop role-playing genre. Sparks of Eternity: Emanation is fast-paced, easy to learn, and features six classes from your favorite TTRPGs. Each class deck comes with [00:04:00] its own set of unique abilities, which everyone plays at the same time, so there's never any downtime at your table. Each turn, everyone's characters levels up, giving players access to even more options. If you're interested in taking a look, we have our sales page live now, packed with details. Moving on to the Azure Born. So the Azure Born is a prophetic harpy-like sky dweller. Okay, so when I hear prophetic, we're definitely thinking about a character that knows the future, knows what's gonna happen, and they're just like, they can always get a glimpse of the fate and how it's going to affect them. Now, the play that I would like with this is, yes, they can see the future, but obviously the decisions you make in the campaign can change the future they see. So that could be really cool as an NPC even to have, like, this sky-dwelling harpy that plays the prophet, gives all these things that could happen, tells you how the campaign ends, and if you as the campaign [00:05:00] doesn't like that ending, just make the decisions to change it, right? Now, as a character that you can play, right, they could be desperately trying to prevent what they've seen, um, or they could even lie about the visions that they see, so that way their prophetic ability isn't even real to everyone else, um, because they know what's going to happen. They, uh, could also have a personality where they're second-guessing every decision they make because they don't wanna make the wrong one because they've already seen what happens, right? And maybe they like that outcome, so they're like, "Well, how do I get that outcome? Maybe this is right. Maybe this is wrong. I don't know." So that could be just really fun in a character with that prophetic side of things. So last one I want to hop into was the Bog Born, and the Bog Born is your swamp-dwelling creature.[00:06:00] Um, I also think of it as like a mega swamp tank kind of guy, right? So I think of Avatar: The Last Airbender with these swamp benders when they make that giant swamp vine creature that's taking all the hits from the Fire Nation, and it just keeps regenerating. So it's like a giant tank for the army. And that is absolutely what I see when I think of this because they do have that regeneration, and they're very, you know, in tune with the swamps. So that's really fun to think of. And with that, it brings out the idea of if I'm this regenerative swamp creature, Can I be taken out? Maybe that's the whole premise of their character and how you role play this character is, "I'm gonna get into every fight possible and see just how much I can take." So it definitely brings in a different dynamic into the [00:07:00] party because if you do have a character like that, how is the party gonna react to you? Is the party going to have the same mentality? Will they constantly be pulling you back from that, um, mindset? So I don't know, maybe. With all of that going on, I think the other thing is all of the, all of these characters have a different idea when it comes to the future and fate and how to handle it, right? So the Deepborn always having this whispering knowledge in their ear. It's always this question of if the whispers are true, and maybe they're always trying to find out if they're true. The Azureborn, they know what's true, but they don't know how to get to it. And the Bogborn is like, "All I know is I'm gonna be a tank and go at this," right? So overall, they're super fun. I think you can definitely see where you can take these, uh, races. Um, and as I said earlier in the video, this [00:08:00] does round out, um, all of the Crooked Moon races. You can check in past videos to see what they were covered, what we talked about, how they are. Um, moving forward, I wanna be looking at the different classes available to you, um, specifically in Crooked Moon and specifically in the game that my husband and I have been creating. Um, so as always, like, comment, subscribe, and we'll catch you next time. Thanks. Bye.

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP5OwjeAVBE Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG YouTube, where I go over things going on in the tabletop role-playing community, um, from D&D to Crooked Moon to other games that we see. And this might be, for me, my most exciting one that I've gone over to date. Um, we have some very exciting news. I know if you've watched our channel in the past couple weeks, in the past couple months, um, you've seen videos talking about this card game, Battler, and we even did, um, a bit of an interview style talking about this game and its origin story and why it's so important to us. And the short version of that is my husband has been working on a tabletop role-playing game for 30 years at this point, you know, since he was a boy. And now here we are at the point where we have [00:01:00] something manufactured, published, and ready to sell, and it showed up at our doorstep this week. So we had this 750-pound pallet with 28 boxes of our game show up. Here it is. Sparks of Eternity Emanation. It is here. It is just-- It's better than, you know, we imagined it would be with just... It's just amazing. You know? You always talk about these things happening and these dreams coming true and, like, making a product. And to finally have it is an amazing experience. So, you know, we of course took the time this week to revel in that a little bit and, you know, we took the pictures. We [00:02:00] did the time lapses of everything. We just-- We got to see our dream come true this week. And, you know, this was his dream first, and I got to join in with it. And especially in the past year, um, this game was, you know, an idea from me, and he made it come true with his game. And it's just been a great experience getting to work together on it and play test it and everything. So let's go ahead and get into what is in the box. The guide, of course, you know, the how-to manual, how to play, what everything is, what all the symbols mean. And then of course you have the credits on the back with our artist on there as well as, you know, my husband and I's name, which is pretty incredible getting our name on something. And then you go into the box, and you get to see that there are six dice because it is a six-player game. [00:03:00] It can be up to six players, and you can obviously have more if you have more of the, um, uh, class decks. And then you have your life sparks, the red and the yellow, the red depicting, um, five hit points and the yellow depicting one. So, you know, some characters will start with that five hit points, and some will start with six or seven. And then I've seen hit points get all the way up to twenty-one if the healing ends up going super well. And then jumping into each of the classes that you see in this box, you are going to have the judge, the druid, the oracle, the, um... Oh, gosh You have all these different classes that we decided to put into what is considered the base game. And that is just amazing to see all of this artwork and getting it put together. And then on top of all [00:04:00] that, you have, um, the different effect cards. So your dazed, your blinded, your charmed, um, as well as some additional rules and details and your turn overviews to help you with the, like, getting going and your different turns. So that way you don't have to reference the how-to guide as often, the, um, instruction manual as often. So between my husband and I, because, you know, we've been play testing this for a year at this point, it has been a full calendar year, we have gotten to the point where we can play games in under 10 minutes. Um, however, this does state that it can take up to 30 when you are just learning this game. Um, of course, when you're just learning, you take a little more time with your turns and making sure everybody understands what is going on. Because the goal is to get to play faster [00:05:00] and to dive into this world a little bit quicker, you know? You want to be able to really enjoy this class that you're taking a part of and understand like, hey, this is why the druid is the druid. The druid gets to use these different shapes, the wolf and the griffin, to do more powerful attacks. Whereas the assassin, of course, has different things to help his assassin hit harder and guarantee that it hits and it can't be blocked. Um, so there's just all these little nuances about what you're playing with to see how it goes. So, you know, it's here. We are getting the final touches on everything for shipping, getting the sales page up, um, getting, you know, the different tiers because we are gonna offer a couple different things. Like, yes, we do have the box game, [00:06:00] but we also have a PDF version that has other classes available that you can just print off at home without having to have the box. Um, the other thing is we're looking at putting together a higher tier that is gonna have the box itself, but also a dedicated art book with all of the art that, um, has been used, we intend to use, that our artist has done. And there are a few other things with that tier that you're just gonna have to check out. But with all of that being said, we should be available to ship these within the next week. So we're gonna put that link below and if you don't mind waiting just a little bit longer, you can go ahead and order. However, once we get past this first week, we are gonna be shipping on a more regular schedule and we're excited to see the, uh, demand that these games will have. Of course, we have family and friends that want to see this, but we also want to grow the community with everyone else. So any support that you want to [00:07:00] give is greatly appreciated and it helps us achieve our dreams further and hopefully we can support others on their dreams. Um, so with that, comment, like, subscribe, let us know how we're doing. If you have any questions on the game, please let us know. And if you really would like to, please, uh, hit that button to order now. Thanks so much. Bye.
