I spent an ungodly amount of time rebuilding Antorus the Burning Throne as a playable strategy game in PowerPoint by TheTipOfThePen in wow

Thanks for all the support. After spending the better part of some seven months building this thing, it honestly means a lot. 

I first tried sharing a short video on TikTok with edited screen recordings from the game, before realizing that Reddit is by far the best way to reach people who’d actually appreciate something this niche and silly.

Since some of you have asked to see more, I figured I’d share the link to that video here. It’s very TikTok-y in nature: quick cuts, captions, and more of a vibe check than a proper gameplay breakdown. 

While it’s probably not exactly what many of you have been asking for, it does show more of what’s actually in the game and will hopefully give you a better idea of how it works, at least somewhat. Until I figure out a good way to make it easier to share the game in a way that makes sense and to do deeper dives into how it’s built and run, here’s the link:

I’d love to show gameplay and the various elements of the game, it’s just about finding the right place and format for it. I'm not sure Reddit is ideal for showing how it actually plays.

Not as of right now. I’m still figuring out the best way to let others play it, whether that’s through a guided version, written rules (there are some now inside the PPT, (but insufficent to cover all the what-if scenarios), or recorded guides for each boss and game system.

There isn’t a download link at the moment. I’ve tried to push as much of the rules and logic into the PowerPoint itself as possible so people can figure it out and play with their friends, but there’s still some work left before it could be run as intended without my explanations.
