Adventurers follow a winding road toward a fortified town in Mithayre, with riverside farms, hilltop ruins and storm-lit mountains.

Welcome to Ascended

Ascended TTRPG brings players together to tell stories of dangerous journeys, hard-won victories and characters shaped by their choices. Its flexible approach supports the way your group enjoys playing, from scenes brought to life through conversation to encounters explored with maps, miniatures and digital tools. You decide what your character attempts; the rules help determine what happens next.

Mithayre is Ascended’s sword-and-sorcery setting, a world of rival nations, ancient powers and dangers that heroes can confront. It gives your adventures places worth exploring, people worth defending and conflicts with consequences. Whether you join us as a player, Gamemaster or creator, we invite you to explore the game, share your stories and help build a community around the adventures we imagine together.

What’s in our logo?

The logo centers around a stylized "A", symbolizing "Ascended". The structure of the "A" is inspired by the probability distributions of the dice rolls at the core of our game system. Two d10s create a triangle-shaped distribution, representing a range of outcomes and their probabilities with a central tendency, while the d20's distribution forms a straight line, crossing the "A", to symbolize the uniform probability of outcomes across its range.

The Story Behind Ascended

Gaming has been a constant through my life of service and travel: a reason to gather, imagine and see where a shared story might lead. Ascended grew from notes I began collecting in 1996, shaped over the years by experience, curiosity and a lasting enthusiasm for fantasy roleplaying. Creating it has brought a long-held ambition into focus: a game that gives players room to attempt bold ideas and develop characters through their choices.

With Ascended TTRPG, I set out to make action feel connected, character development flexible and the rules useful to the people around the table. Mithayre gives those adventures a setting filled with history, wonder and danger worth confronting. My hope is that players will make both their own through the characters they create, the stories they share and the people they welcome into the game.
