Arkspire Games · Worlds we make together
The next great story needs you at the table.
A book invites you into a world. A game asks what you will do there. We make room for courage, wonder, and the kind of stories you can only tell together.

A new seat at the Arkspire table
Truth. Beauty. And a little initiative.
Some stories are meant to be read. Others are waiting for a gathering of friends, an unexpected choice, and someone brave enough to say, “What if?”
Arkspire Games brings our love of meaningful storytelling to the tabletop: worlds worth exploring, choices worth wrestling with, and adventures that leave you with more than a winning score. The wonder is shared. So is the making.
Our first adventure · Forthcoming
The Realms of Glory
Imagine It. Attempt It. Become Legendary.
A heroic fantasy tabletop role-playing game by Jeff T. Scroggs, where your ideas matter as much as your abilities—and your character is more than a collection of numbers.
Dangerous battles. Deep convictions. Magic beside machinery. This is a world built for the question every great adventure begins with: what do you do?
01 · Describe the impossible
Don’t just choose an attack. Change the scene.
Disarm a foe. Create an opening for an ally. Hold a doorway against the horde. The Realms of Glory makes room for the plan nobody saw coming.
Opposed rolls
An opposed 2d10 system sits at the heart of the action, alongside cinematic Combat Maneuvers.
Escalating disadvantage
Disadvantage Levels bring mounting pressure to the encounter. What you attempt can change the shape of a battle.
Danger stays dangerous
Constitution-based health keeps weapons threatening. Progression means new abilities—not endlessly growing hit-point pools.
A moment at the table
What would you attempt?
A broken bridge. Pursuers closing in. Your friends need a way across.
Give your friends a fighting chance.
You plant your shield at the narrow approach. Can you keep the pursuers back long enough for everyone to cross? A useful idea is more than another attack: it changes what the rest of the party can attempt.
The idea behind Combat Maneuvers: describe the opening you want to create.
An invitation to imagine—not a rules simulation or a playable demo.
02 · Bring someone worth playing
What can you do? What won’t you abandon?
A character sheet can tell us how strong you are. Your Affections tell us why you stand your ground.
Loyalties. Convictions. Ambitions. Loves. Fears. In The Realms of Glory, these are not simply notes in the margin; they directly influence play.
Bring the person behind the abilities. Let the adventure discover what matters to them.
03 · Magic meets invention
The world is wider than sword and spell.
Magic has company. Equally robust Technological Disciplines give firearms, chemistry, electromagnetism, and ingenious mechanisms their place in the adventure.
Set out across pirate-haunted seas. Hunt monsters in the desert. Unravel an urban conspiracy, explore forgotten ruins, or descend into an ancient underground realm. Then take to the air and see what lies beyond.
04 · Choose your path
A beginning. Not a boundary.
Every Class offers three Paths. Follow one or combine them as your character takes shape. Here is a glimpse of what that can mean.
Barbarian
Immeasurable Strength
Meet the impossible with overwhelming might.
Fighter
Perfect Defense
Become the line that will not break.
Bard
Superstar
Inspire Affections in the hearts of a crowd.
Totemist
Mind. Form. Essence.
Draw on the nature of creatures in extraordinary ways.
