A new kind of tabletop roleplaying game

Age of Aeternus is a brand-new TTRPG built from the ground up for cinematic, player-driven storytelling. With a focus on player agency and modular design, we've created a system where players always have meaningful choices and Game Masters have the tools to craft unforgettable adventures-without the grind.

Mix and match genres, enable or disable abilities, and customize everything from HEMA pool sizes to movement speeds. Our parametrized design makes difficulty scaling intuitive, giving both players and Guides the freedom to tailor the game to their vision.

Built for player-driven stories

Age of Aeternus combines approachable rules with meaningful choices, giving your table the tools to craft collaborative adventures without overwhelming complexity or rigid constraints.

Simple to learn, deep to master

Core gameplay follows a "narrow but deep" philosophy - easy to quickly grasp, but deep enough to keep veterans occupied.

Always have options

Players agency is very important to us at NerdHonest, so we've worked hard to create that feeling of being engaged and in control... even when things go south.

Mix and match genres

Modular rules let you blend science fiction with fantasy, merge superhero adventures with cosmic horror, or create your own unique fusion. Play the stories you want without house-ruling an entire system.

Easier and Faster to Play

Age of Aeternus is a TTRPG companion - character sheets, dice, encounters, and integrated session audio for atmosphere, all in one place without being cluttered. Stream atmospheric music, ambiance, and sound effects free. Activate Focus Mode to help your table stay engaged. Easily searchable rules? Scheduling? User generated content? Yup, we've got you covered.

Free to play. Bring the whole crew.

Age of Aeternus is free to use at launch: create characters, join a Party, and play full sessions with a suite of integrated tools including free-tier session audio. AoA is currently invite only, so creating an account places you in the early access queue and reserves your username!

We're in Very Early Access

Age of Aeternus is currently invite-only and in very early testing. We're carefully onboarding players in small waves to ensure the best experience possible as we refine the game and companion tools.

Creating an account places you in the early access queue. During signup, you can separately choose whether to receive occasional development newsletters. Creating an account does not guarantee immediate access to early testing-invites are distributed in controlled waves based on testing capacity and community feedback needs.

Ready to reserve your username and join the adventure? Create your account now to secure your place in line. We'll contact you about your account and invitation status; optional development newsletters require your separate consent.
