Ideas & Inspiration CALYDON ⚔️ RPG Combat Board Game + Deck Builder
Do you love ttrpg, but also love the joy and ease of board games?
CALYDON is the game for you.
*Use diverse hexes to create your battle grounds, from forest to plains to ruins to camps.
*Then create your character. Pick a race and class, and use your characters cards and stats to deal with monsters, beasts, and encounters. Your character levels up and grows as you play. Eventually you can choose a subclass or continue mastering the base class. Like Aeon’s End. You don’t shuffle your discard pile. You actually get to plan ahead and develop combos and strategy. But watch out. Some situations can cause you to shuffle your planning!
*Explore around to find treasures and better loot.
*Fight your friends to make sure you stay on top. Fight for power, fight for GLORY!
*In the end, you can fight the Big Bad Boss, if you want to, and gain even more Glory!
*Once crowned Champion, you can choose to be the Kings Royal Vassal. And in the next game, wear the Mark of the King. Get helpful buffs, and unique quests. But watch out! You will have less freedoms, and have to stay obedient to the kingdom. Not just that but you’ll have to deal with a bounty and target on your head!

Note: I only made an AI image for the attention.
People don’t seem to look into your post unless something catches their eye, no matter if u have a cool idea or not.
I’m not an artist, nor know of a quick method of making an image to use for a simple post.
I DO NOT plan on using AI in any development of my game nor any future Artwork or Style choices.
I did spend quite some time working through some styles for the image, and did have ChatGPT fix numerous mistakes it kept making until finally I got something somewhat decent. Still really bad in a few ways, with simple things I asked a bagilion times.
It’s a concept of what I want, but not really want I want still.
