Discover Ember: A New Chapter in Online Tabletop RPGs

September 9, 2024 by gamewithpixels

If you’re passionate about tabletop roleplaying games, you’re going to love Ember, the newest creation from our friends at Foundry Virtual Tabletop. Ember merges the depth of traditional RPGs with the innovation of online multiplayer games, creating an exciting new experience for GMs and players alike.

Foundry, known for its robust VTT platform, has taken things to the next level with Ember. It’s an imaginative, open-world fantasy setting packed with rich lore, a colossal map, and dynamic gameplay that will keep you and your party immersed for years. Whether you prefer the familiar mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons 5E or the innovative Crucible system built specifically for Foundry, Ember is designed to deliver an unforgettable tabletop experience.

What’s even more exciting? Foundry is fully integrated with Pixels Dice. This means your dice rolls are no longer confined to the table—they can come to life in the virtual space as well. Imagine rolling your Pixels Dice at home and seeing the results immediately appear on-screen, enhancing both the immersion and excitement of every game. You can learn more about how Pixels integrates with Foundry right here.

Why Ember Stands Out:

  • A massive open world with 25,000 hexes to explore, packed with mysteries, events, and characters.
  • A rich and imaginative fantasy setting that offers endless opportunities for storytelling.
  • Support for both D&D 5E and Crucible, giving you flexibility in how you play.
  • Dynamic events and meaningful choices that shape your adventure over the course of years.
  • Stunning maps, a comprehensive calendar system, and an immersive audio engine that make every session feel cinematic.

With Foundry’s proven track record of delivering innovative tabletop experiences and the immersive power of Pixels Dice integration, Ember is shaping up to be a must-play for any RPG fan. The Ember Kickstarter campaign is live now, so don’t miss the chance to be part of this groundbreaking project!

Check out Ember on Kickstarter here, and don’t forget to explore how Pixels Dice can bring even more magic to your game. 🎲✨

The Journey of Pixels Dice: From Hackaday to a Global Phenomenom

The story of Pixels Dice began on Hackaday, where Jean Simonet, a seasoned video game developer, first shared his innovative idea. What started as a simple project quickly garnered attention from the tabletop gaming community. Enthusiasts began asking, “This Pipped D6 is amazing—why not create the entire set?” Jean accepted the challenge, setting the stage for what would become a groundbreaking venture.

Kickstarter Success and Beyond

On March 9, 2021, the Pixels Kickstarter campaign launched, running for 30 days. The response was overwhelming, with 24,912 backers bringing this dream to life. This incredible support, marked the beginning of a long, rewarding journey for Pixels Dice.

Our team, a small but dedicated international group, collaborated closely with our manufacturing partners in China. Over the next few years, we expanded the Pixels lineup to include all standard dice types—D12, D10, D100, D8, D6, and even the unique Fudge Dice—across various stunning colorways like Midnight Galaxy, Onyx Black, Hematite Grey, and Aurora Sky. Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, we persevered, overcoming disruptions in manufacturing and supply chains. This period was also a time of significant innovation; we enhanced the Bluetooth antenna, improved battery life, and optimized the LEDs for better brightness and energy efficiency.

Luna, Our mascot

As we laid the foundation for the future of Pixels, we opened our website to new orders and allowed backers to edit their existing ones, ensuring everyone could tailor their Pixels experience.

At Pixels, we believe in the power of community collaboration. That’s why our dice are open source, inviting you to explore our API, create your own projects, and contribute to the ever-growing Pixels ecosystem. Visit our resource page on the website for tools, guides, and more. Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable as we work to perfect our electronic dice.

Our Community

We are immensely grateful for our vibrant and supportive community. Throughout our development journey, Discord has become our primary social platform, offering a space for gamers, developers, and creators to connect. We invite anyone interested in Pixels or tabletop gaming to join us. Whether you have questions, ideas, or simply want to be part of the conversation, your voice matters. Together, we can continue to push the boundaries of what Pixels Dice can achieve.
