Song of Avaria is a text-based roleplaying game that is entirely focused on playing out stories with other characters within the setting of an immersive world. It is roleplay-enforced, meaning that you are required to stay in character while playing.
It has a number of innovative features such as:
- an original but historically-flavored fantasy world with expansive lore that has been in development since 2016
- a web-based character application allowing in-depth character customization
- a character advancement system where experience is earned through roleplay and storytelling, not combat or repetitive tasks
- a narrative system that allows players to record and track their story arcs while gaining experience for plot development
- the meter of Presence, which rewards players for engagement with the game world
- an expansive class-free skills system that allows the creation of unique characters with highly personalized skill sets
- automatic logging of all in-character activity
- an interconnected forum that automatically rewards the writing of in-character fiction and letters
- a highly flexible roleplay-based combat system that integrates environmental factors for strategy, combines player skill with character abilities, and includes a random dash of chance
- numerous outdoor survival activities such as foraging, fishing, tracking, game hunting, and building fires and shelters
- a richly detailed environment that rewards interaction and exploration and changes with the time of day and the seasons
- and last and most important of all, of course -- weather for all places and seasons!
