We Appreciate Our Alpha Testers

Something incredible has been happening behind the gates of Tharendell.

While we’ve been refining the Forge42Engine and strengthening the foundations of our battle system, a few brave souls have been stepping into the arena again… and again… and again.

To those of you who have been testing the rules engine, pushing the limits, uncovering edge cases, and helping us sharpen every mechanic —

We see you. And we appreciate you.

Over the next few days, we’ll begin issuing Alpha Tester Badges to players who have stepped into battle to help us improve the engine.

These badges will reflect your contribution level — with multiple tiers awarded based on how many battles you’ve fought during alpha testing. Whether you’ve entered the arena five times or fifty, your effort matters, and your badge will show it proudly on your Player Dashboard.

Your testing helps us:

• Balance encounters
• Improve combat flow
• Refine rule execution
• Strengthen narrative integration

And because of you, the Forge42Engine is getting stronger every day.

🔮 Coming Soon

Your continued testing is paving the way for the next major upgrades:

• 🏹 Ranged Weapons
• ✨ Magic Spells
• ⚔️ Expanded combat depth

The arena is only the beginning.

Thank you for helping me build Tharendell into something worthy of legend.
