Mission Statement

Altered Realms began as a dream. We wanted a system that let us tell the stories we imagined, without being restricted by rigid rules or pre-set lore. We couldn't find a game that offered the creative freedom we craved, so we built it ourselves

We ended up making something we are extremely proud of, and have grown into a community of players and narrators who value the same things we do: fun, accessibility, and freedom.

Our design philosophy prioritizes fun, ease of play, and accessibility. We believe collaborative storytelling should feel freeing and engaging. The guard rails that exist should be there to help us tell the story, not lock us into one style of play. 

At the end of the day, this is the system that WE look forward to playing every week. If it feels like it’s lacking, we iterate and improve it until it isn't. 

We built this for ourselves, but we’re sharing it with you so you can bring the worlds you imagined to life.
