Vrahode: The Calteeryn Ascension Interview at Gen Con 2023

About Vrahode: The Calteeryn Ascension, from BoardGameGeek:

Vrahode - The Calteeryn Acension is an adventure/dungeon crawl board game, the second in a series of five games, designed by Jeffrey Irving. Following the initial game Age of Prophecy (2024) this massive "core box" is a solo/co-op game for 1-6 players where players can choose to journey through huge multi-quest campaign that sprawls over the heights and depths of the mysterious world of Vrahode or choose one of five other modes of play as well as four difficulty levels! The core box campaign victory condition: "Calteeryn" (the chosen one) must learn the ruhl (magic) of each crafted race in the game while facing mounting threats. This is done by journeying through the eight unique biomes of the Overlands, Underlands, and Oceans of the world of Vrahode. Dice-based combat is enhanced by powerful skill deck building and racial abilities unique to each race. Every enemy encounter is different, with the enemy behavior deck threatening to change how the heroes must fight them each battle! The world of Vrahode is based on a narrative first imagined in 1990 by designer Jeffrey Irving. The Vrahode series of games includes a introductory game Vrahode - Age of Prophecy and three additional expansions: The Enlightened & The Enslaved, Facing The Storm, and The False Gods' Deceit. All are part of the Vrahode Game System which invites players to generate their own content, adding to the expanding lore of Vrahode! This game is compatible with our proprietary 3D terrain system called Harbinger, players can create dynamic, multi-level dungeons up to five levels deep. -description from the publisher
