THE BASICS

“That’s how it goes, you think you’re on top of the world, and suddenly they spring Armageddon on you.”

– Sir Terry Pratchett, Good Omens. 1990.

Welcome to the official website that contains aggregated information for the play test that Rage Quit Ink will be running for our TTRPG – Ash and Flowers of Azraeém. This site will be continually updated as we get everything finalized and ready to open for Play Testing Requests and is mostly done to provide better transparency around the game and it’s tone to have fair expectations going in.

This game – like everything else we do – is written and developed for an audience of 18 Years and Older which means that you will need to be at least 18 years of age in order to sign up and part take in our Play Testing (and play the game once it’s released).

About Ash and Flowers of Azraeém

The World of Azraeém is nearing towards it’s Second Calamity for the modern world but the Third in it’s known history. The First two happened seemingly by chance but the Third is happening in a way that almost seems systematically intended (or at least as a result of systematic negligence). As a result, the signs of this new Calamity are significantly worse than what has been seen and has resulted in the Puck Courts to begin rolling out plans to figure out how to not only survive what seems to be on the horizon but to help all of Azraeém potentially stop it from happening.

Ash and Flowers of Azraeém is a Capsule Table Top Role Playing Adventure that is Shakespearean inspired aiming to relish in creating a dynamic and lethal game play experience while offering players a chance to have a personalized experience as they play the role of a Vanguard – a Puck Court sanctioned Warrior whose job it is to find the root cause of the potential doomsday scenario so that it can be stopped. The game will be released in large chunks a.k.a Acts over an extended period of time, with the core adventure and rules being made readily available as the rest of the Storied Adventure is being developed.

The Adventure will cover topics such as Abuse of Power in all it’s forms and is best suited for individuals who are comfortable with dissection and discussion of these kinds of topics.

There are currently 12 Planned Pursuits and Lineages that will offer ample opportunity to customize your character while having various ways to not only help them be prepared for the adventure ahead but to also define the foundation and reason that brought them to being a Vanguard to begin with.

If you enjoy a great deal of camp with a healthy sense of humor to balance out heavier topics then this will likely be for you.

About The play test

Please Note: There is no official date on the Play Test’s Launch and that the site will update with any relevant information regarding it accordingly.

Part of what we’re doing is writing 15 Short Stories that work as additional world building for those who are interested in learning about major events and NPCs before diving into everything. The Play Test will actually take place within one of the NPCs short stories – Savari – with all poignant moments in the campaign being considered canon regardless of how it pans out from play test group to play test group. For those who are interested, here’s a visual representation of the NPCs and stories in question, along with a rough outline breakdown for each of the individual short stories in order:

As a general note, dark colors are the short stories, lighter colors are when they show up in a supportive role in someone else’s story and mid-tones denote major activities that aren’t written about but are relevant to the main adventure. Also:

• S = Savari – the Representative for the Vivid Aurora Circus;
• HB = Harold and Bula – a Witch and her Familiar who help with coordinating the Wayfarer’s Outpost;
• K = Kellum – the personal body guard to the missing Queen Kuli and the one who will be primarily recruiting individuals to joining The Vanguard;
• M = Magdiana – The Purser for the Pirates of Ombre Sea; and
• I = Isteen – The Founder of the Ever Sun Research Facility.

Each of these NPCs are major allies that will help with the final conflict in the Third Act – BEYOND THE VEIL OF SWANCOAST.

So for those of you who are not only interested in getting to play test the game but also get a taste for the overall story, this will work out pretty great for you! However, being interested in the story at large is not a requirement since our main priority is to make sure that the mechanics we’ve developed actually work so you can actually play through the Adventure on a whole.

For more information around the kinds of features you’ll get access to, please check out our page on the Play Test Adventure and if you’re interested in reading what stories we’ve completed and what else we’ve been working on , you can check it all out on our Dev Blog.

It must be noted that you are not playing a Vanguard in this adventure so you will not have access to all features that would be made available within the game because you are, after all, here to hunt The Red Devil – NOT to save the world.
