Getting Started

Grain Forge runs as a Discord Activity. No download required.

1

Join the Discord Server

Head to our Discord server and join the community. This is where you'll play, get help, and meet other adventurers.

2

Launch the Activity

In any voice channel, click the Activities button (rocket icon) and select Grain Forge. The game will load in an embedded terminal right inside Discord.

3

Create Your Character

Choose your race, class, and allocate attribute points. Each race has different stat caps and bonuses. Each class plays differently — pick what sounds fun, you can always make another character later.

Character Creation

Build your hero with point-buy attributes.

Pick a Race

Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, Halfling, or Orc. Each has different attribute caps and starting bonuses. Humans get extra points to spend freely.

Pick a Class

Fighter, Mage, Cleric, Thief, or Monk. Your class determines your HP, mana, stamina, skills, and combat style. At level 51 you'll specialize further.

Allocate Attributes

Spend your attribute points across STR, DEX, CON, INT, and WIS. Your race caps limit how high each can go. Balance for your class or go all-in on one stat.

Tips for New Players

Use Consider

Always consider an NPC before attacking. If it says "would destroy you" — believe it. Come back when you're stronger.

Set Wimpy

Type wimpy 20 to auto-flee when your HP drops below 20%. Dying costs XP and your gear stays on your corpse.

Group Up

Find other players and form a group. You'll share XP and survive tougher fights. Type follow <player> then ask them to group <you>.

Train Skills

Visit trainers to spend skill points on new abilities. Some skills are locked behind choice gates — permanent decisions that define your build.
