While Waiting for Alpha 2

I been listening to the audio book series “The Ripple System” by Kyle Kirrin / read by Travis Baldree.

Really cool book, gives off that AoC / WoW vibe, plus there are a lot of cool features found in the game that remind me of Ashes, give it a whirl if you are into litrpg books like dungeon crawler Carl !

Can you give a quick summary of the book? What's it about? What makes it so Ashes-like?

This is a decent summary without giving out to many spoilers


- **Dynamic Development**: Towns and cities grow and change based on player actions.
- **Player Involvement**: Settlements evolve from small villages to large cities through player contributions.
- **Community Interactions**: The world is shaped by the collective efforts of the community.
- **Living Environment**: The environment is responsive to player decisions and activities.
- **Immersive Experience**: Players directly impact the development and fate of settlements.
- **World Story**: The evolving settlements contribute to the overarching narrative of the world.


The class system is also really unique in the book, actually something I find really awesome, your class is defined by specific skills you focus on, so let’s say your race is dwarf and you specialize in hammers, or holy spells, you may become a paladin, specializing in skills create a catered class, pretty badass, the main character is a fey elf mystic and when he specializes in guns, he becomes a shadeslinger, allowing him to cast his dark magic through guns and not staffs..

I’m a fan
