The Wagadu Chronicles is an upcoming isometric MMO built to harken back to the roots of the role-playing genre — where players embodied a role and not just min-maxed stats. The Wagadu Chronicles is meant to be played as both an MMO online, as well as tabletop, bringing players together offline to experience the world even more. Twin Drums, the developer, mentions that the player input from these 5E tabletop sessions «will affect the development of the MMO.»
The MMO will offer different skills, adapting the 5E setting to the class system of Wagadu. Some examples of those skills are options such as cartography, archery, animal husbandry, and more. «The 5E setting adapts the usual class system to Wagadu, the MMO takes a freer approach. You have skill „presets“ that look like traditional „classes“ but you can freely break away from that and build your own warrior-oracle or farmer-chef, nothing stops you.»
Wagadu's setting is also unique as many games don't exactly showcase afrofantasy or even African-inspired settings, posing the question: «What if Tolkien were Black?»
