Swordsman
Sword and buckler in hand. Strength for the cut, Endurance to keep swinging.
Every pixel, drawn by hand
Every creature, tree and cloud, and the moon above them, started as a drawing. Then they were stood up in a world you can walk into, backs and all.

Why I'm making Paper's Call
When I was a kid, Asheron's Call was the first world I ever got lost in: a whole land on a PC screen, full of strangers who became friends. I've wanted to give that feeling back ever since.
So I'm drawing a world, piece by piece, and building it in the open. No Kickstarter. No paid early access. No selling you a promise. What you see here is what exists: every monster, tree and cloud drawn by hand, in a world you can already walk into. It grows while you play.

Choose your path
Three ways to start, and no locked classes: whatever you train is yours, and specializing makes it sing.
Ranger
Bow in hand, the sword on the hip. Coordination for the arrow, a steady Focus.
Mage
Wand in hand, fire bolts from the stone. Focus for the bolt, Endurance to survive the cast.
Or place every point yourself on the Custom path.
What is Paper's Call?
A first-person online fantasy world, made in the spirit of the great old PC online worlds. You see it through your own eyes; your weapons stay put away until you draw them.
Lifestones and portals
Tie yourself to a lifestone and death brings you back beside it. Step into a portal and ride a tunnel painted from the sky itself to wherever it leads.
Train what you want
Sword, bow, war magic, item magic. Attributes and skills you raise yourself, the old way.
One shared world
Everyone walks the same land and fights the same monsters, together. Soon, a portal you summon to a far lifestone will carry your friends too.
Coming later: extraction runs
Queue alone or with a partner from the city, go down, grab what you can and get out alive. Die and you lose only what you found.
Coming later: the Dark Flow
A land where anyone can fight anyone. You will be warned before you walk in.
