Elartean Gates — Step Into a World of Story, Community, and Mystery

What is Elartean Gates?
Elartean Gates is a tabletop roleplaying game and setting where players explore the world of Elartea—building their own story, forming connections, and venturing into unknown dangers beyond mysterious gates.

The game begins with your character’s place in the world—your hometown, your neighbors, and the people around you—before expanding into larger adventures and darker threats.

Why It Stands Out
This project isn’t just a rulebook—it’s a broader creative world:

• A Core Rulebook for the TTRPG
• A novel set in the same world
• A soundtrack designed to add atmosphere
• A focus on personal stories and local connections

It feels like a project built around:
experiencing the world in more than one way

The Hook
Instead of starting with world-ending stakes, this begins closer to home:

your town
your community
your story

And from there, it opens up into something larger—especially as you explore beyond the Gates into whatever lies on the other side.

Player Feel

• Story-focused tabletop roleplaying
• Exploration and character-driven moments
• A mix of grounded beginnings and larger unknown threats
• Collaborative storytelling at the table

Why It’s Worth Watching
The Kickstarter is aiming to build out not just a game, but a full experience around the setting—including fiction and music alongside the RPG itself.

There’s also a Quick Start Guide available if you want to try the system before backing.

What do you think?
Do you enjoy RPGs that start small and personal before expanding outward?

And does having things like a novel or soundtrack make you more interested in a setting—or not really?
