D&D x World of Warcraft: Nostalgia, New Content, or Running Out of Ideas?

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UteTnsp4yIE Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Eternity TTRPG YouTube channel, where I discuss different happenings in the tabletop role-playing universes, as well as talk about the game that my husband and I have been developing. So we've already gone over all of the races in the world of Eternity. Um, you know, your basics from human all the way down to espers and jaidori and treants, which are pretty neat races, if you ask me. Um, but we have not gotten to classes, right? So the classes that I wanted to start with is gonna be the first six classes that you're exposed to in Emanation, which is the card game that my husband and I came out with. So that is a combat TTRPG card game. And in this game, we show off six classes to start with, and we picked out the classes that we thought could showcase, um, a little bit of the creativity when it comes to Eternity, but also [00:01:00] some of your favorite classics that you would see in, like, D&D and other role-playing games. So to start that off, I'm actually gonna talk about the different types of classes first. So we have it split up into your casters, your, um, fighters, and your, like, spell casters, which is gonna be your crossover, a mix of the two. So the two fighters that we feature in the Emanation box is gonna be the assassin and the berserker. So the assassin is always, uh, bringing final memories for people. So since the Eternal Wars, they have been the masters of death who train to deliver a sudden death. So their main ability and what makes them the assassin is, of course, their ability to assassinate. Um, so they like to lay in shadows, build up their lethality, and then spend all of it to deal a final blow or a very, um, difficult blow, right? And then you think about your berserker, [00:02:00] and berserkers, they are furious and brutal. The more rage they have, the more power they have. And a berserker never feel, fears up-and-close encounters with anyone. So with the berserker, they are all about let me hit as much as possible, as hard as possible to as many people as possible, and that's kind of how the class was built with Emanation in mind. So the other thing about berserker to keep in mind, though, is that they are probab- they are the class that has the least health across the board when playing Emanation. So the goal is definitely, um, to get everybody before they get you. So may the rolls be in your favor. 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. [00:03:00] Each class deck comes with 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. So moving on to your caster classes, that is gonna be your druid and summoner in Emanation. So the druid, of course, is gonna be a classic class that we see in a lot of ta- tabletop RPGs with your idea of shifting into different animals and working with the nature around you, right? The class lends itself to the Jadorian treant races because those were the protectors of the wild's floral fauna and the Tree of Life. Um, so a lot of your treants and Jadories are recommended to be druids. But that's just Eternity lore for you. The other caster class is gonna be the summoner. The [00:04:00] summoner was actually my first character in this um, world of Eternity, so it has a special place in my heart a little bit. But summoners are the gatekeepers of the world, and Through their portals, they can, like, pull different things out of these portals, um, and just, you know, summon them, use them, use their abilities. So they're definitely more of like a, "Hey, I'm gonna stay back here and send my summon in to do all the work." Um, they also take advantage of what's called a grand summoning. So rather than attacking every single turn in the game of Emanation, they're gonna take a turn to build up, and then on that next turn, they're gonna do something big. So they could, they could do, like, one damage to everyone or two damage to one person or a really big heal to themselves. So that makes them kind of fun, and it does have its trade-offs. So then the last two classes, which I also think are, um, really just I've [00:05:00] seen them in Eternity tabletop role-playing, so I don't know how they would translate to other tabletop role-playing games. And these are also going to be your spell fighters, and that is the Judge and the Oracle. So with the Judge, um, they are supposed to be the keepers of peace. They install law and order, and they're often acting as the accuser, judge, and jury. So it's, uh, definitely a play on law bringing and whatnot. So the Judge itself, when you're playing it in the world of Emanation, is that it defends itself as often as possible. But when it is not defending, it hits really hard. So it's definitely like another trade-off class. You go like every other turn, you want to do this to do that sort of thing. And it's also a really difficult class to actually target, um, so that's kind of a fun quirk with Judge. With [00:06:00] Oracle, Oracle is arguably the hardest class to play in the game of Emanation, um, just because of the different technicalities of it and how it interacts with everything else. I definitely think Oracle is best in a three or more player situation rather than a 1v1 situation because, like, some of the abilities with Oracle is better on a group. So, for example, they have an ability called Chains of Con-Condemnation, which basically it takes two characters at your choosing, two of your opponents, and chains them together. So if person A takes a hit and takes damage from something or someone, then the Oracle gets to roll for person B to see if person B will get hit as well. So chaining them together so that way they both take damage, and then the Oracle comes out on top. So that's definitely a really fun note about Oracle and the class that it [00:07:00] is. So I know this was a quick rundown of these six classes that you find in Emanation, and like I said, some of them do translate to other tabletop role-playing games because sometimes you can't just, you know, change the classics, right? But we can still put our spins on them and see how it goes. Anyway, um, let me know in the comments which class you would really like to play, and if you wanna see more of the classes, always check out the website. You can always check out the game. Um, let us know your thoughts and comment, like, subscribe. We will catch y'all next time.

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.
