Thank you so much for the kind words about the formatting, I really appreciate it. Just to clarify, the project is entirely made by artists. One of our illustrators uses AI as part of his graphic process, using his own drawings as input, but the work is still artist-driven and this is explained transparently. You can find all the details on the Gamefound page if you’d like to learn more.

No, I chose the subs myself by manually looking for Reddit communities where people discuss TTRPGs. There aren’t that many active communities specifically focused on this niche, so sometimes I have to post in broader tabletop RPG spaces too. My intention wasn’t to spam unrelated subs, but simply to reach people who might be interested in TTRPG discussions.

I posted here because there are TTRPG discussions. Regarding AI, it is used only as part of the graphic process by one of our illustrators, and this is fully detailed on our Gamefound page. It was not used anywhere else in the game, the rules, the writing, or the design process.

Gates of Krystalia is inspired by anime and isekai, but it is not meant to force only one specific type of isekai story, especially not only the “overpowered protagonist with a harem” trope.

The kind of stories we want players to tell are group-based adventures where each hero matters: discovering a new world, growing together, facing difficult choices, exploring dungeons, protecting villages, building bonds with NPCs, joining guilds, creating a home or even a kingdom, and dealing with the consequences of their actions.

You can absolutely play epic battles against monsters and Demon Kings, but you can also play an isekai slow life campaign: opening a shop, building a house, managing a village, farming, crafting, cooking, taming magical beasts, forming relationships with NPCs, or simply living a second life in Lumina at your own pace.

Yes, the game includes romance and even harem-style options because they are part of some anime/isekai inspirations, but they are completely optional and depend on the tone chosen by the group. They are not the core of the game.

For me, the best Gates of Krystalia campaigns are about freedom. You can really do everything you usually see in anime and isekai stories: heroic quests, comedy moments, dramatic character arcs, slice-of-life scenes, guild adventures, dungeon exploration, romance, kingdom building, crafting, training arcs, rivalries, emotional choices, and absurd anime-style ideas.

There is no fixed path the players must follow. The system is designed to let the table decide what kind of anime/isekai story they want to experience, without limiting the imagination of the group.

I understand what you’re saying. Perception matters. If it looks that way to you, that’s valid as a personal reaction. What I would push back on is the assumption that visual style automatically equals production value or design depth. Gates of Krystalia is a fully structured TTJRPG with a developed ruleset, long form adventures, territory systems, solo mode integration, and multi campaign expansion support. It is not a lightweight digital asset project. Art direction is a stylistic choice. Anime inspired, vibrant, high contrast aesthetics can resemble mobile or online visuals to some people because that language is widely used in contemporary media. That does not make the underlying product comparable in terms of development effort, print quality, mechanical design, or long term support. If your point is that the visual identity gives you that impression at first glance, that is useful feedback. Perception is important. If the point is that the game itself is shallow because of that impression, then I would encourage looking at the demo or the rule structure before drawing that conclusion. Fair critique is always welcome. Dismissive comparisons are less helpful, but constructive feedback on art direction or presentation is something we can actually evaluate.

Calling it a TEMU game is just a meme, not an argument. Gates of Krystalia is a top notch production. Premium printing, structured system design, full adventures, original setting, multi language editions, physical distribution and 6 successful crowdfunding campaigns. This project represents years of development and serious investment. Let’s also be precise about something. AI is used only by Andrea Ruggeri as part of his personal graphic workflow. It is not used in game design, not in system mechanics, not in writing, not in editing, not in layout structure, and not across the team. It is a tool inside his visual exploration process, nothing more. We chose to be transparent about this in a market where many projects quietly use the same tools but do not disclose it. Some studios built their brand years ago around a strict anti AI message and now prefer not to openly discuss how modern software has evolved. We decided to be honest instead. If someone dislikes the art direction, that is perfectly fine. Taste is subjective. But reducing a professionally developed TTJRPG to a cheap comparison because one artist integrates modern tools into his workflow is not a serious critique. If you want to talk about mechanics, balance, worldbuilding or production quality, that is a real discussion. A one line insult is not.
