This video felt like the grand opening of a store you've watched your friend build from the ground up, that the community is flocking too and excited to see open as well. Love ya, Trent. Thanks for being an inspiration to everyone here watching!
Haven’t been here for the whole journey, but I am absolutely stunned by what’s been shown and I look forward to eventually having a physical copy in my hands one day
I'm a Brazilian teenager who loves "weird and special" RPGs... So, since the release of the first video, I've been waiting and clamoring for the success and marketing of Arcane Ugly. All the work and effort put into this project is amazing! Congratulations and success
It’s been absolutely amazing and inspiring to watch you go through this process and create what “in my opinion” is one of the coolest and most creative games I’ve seen. I’m super stoked to see where it goes from here and thank you Trent for letting us all watch along.
I know I'm coming late to the party, but I devoured all your videos on Arcane Ugly and they absolutely inspired me a lot for my ttrpg I'm developing with my friends. Not only that, you've inspired me to create in different mediums (something I haven't done in a while) and pull out several miniatures and bits I've been keeping in the dust. And you made me discover a style I didn't think I loved so much: weird whymsical magic worlds! When I show my ttrpg to the world, for sure your name will be on it!
Q&A Question: Are you planning on streaming any play throughs? I would love to see the rules in action to get a better sense of how everything works - looks amazing, congrats!
Congrats man, its been so so great watching you go through the creative process and not hiding anything, wonderful to see your product come into being. I'll happily support the project knowing I can blame all the magical mishaps on you.
For the Q&A, What are some tips or recommendations you would give to people trying to make their own TTRPGs? I've been watching this game develop since the beginning and you've really inspired me to make something of my own!
Yo, idk if anyone has told you this, but I love your set design. I love how crazy it is with the magical items in the background and the lighting equipment in frame. Absolutely dig it!! I also love how you are yourself in your videos. It’s the worst when youtubers become “characters” rather than being themselves. So yeah, keep up the great work. You’re a bloody legend!
I wasn’t a patron but I really enjoyed watching the journey. I loved the wild creations and process and it was my favourite thing to watch. Congrats on the release!
So proud to see this project get to this stage, I've been following development almost since the beginning, and it feels like a big accomplishment for the public release to be out. Having my name in the book now makes it even more special. You're a big inspiration to me, and I'm excited to follow even more developments for Arcane Ugly and anything else you do on the channel!
Hey man just wanted to say congratulations on the game arcane ugly i watched the entire series of videos recently and i am blown away at the process and amount of work you did for this. The way you make your spell tables work and give the tools to the players for near infinite combinations of spells is amazing and i love everything about it. Great work.
I saw the first video of this, which was the first video of yours I saw. It was the reason I’ve subbed and I’m glad I sticked around to see the release.
I've been enjoying this journey in the background, but I just gotta say I love this idea and the creativity that's being put into it! So flippin' amazing, keep up the great work! =)
I’ve been Busy I was here when it first started and I’m sad I couldn’t of seen all the journey but I am so proud this is amazing good job man and keep up the great work (I’ll be getting my hands on the beta for Christmas see ya soon arcane ugly!)
Congratulations! This is an amazing accomplishment! I've been subscribed since about episode 2 of Arcane Ugly and it's crazy to see how far this has come. Super proud of you bro, phenomenal work!
Congratulations Trent! My partner and I have been absolutely loving and inspired by your videos for months. Last night I became a patron and can't wait to scroll through all your books and posts!
From all of us here that have seen your channel grow from the beginning, Trent we are so proud of you and care about your happiness and success. Some of us can't pay for the paetreon but we still are so proud of you. Already looking at the digital copy now......this is gonna be a journey :) and we are just at the begging! Can't wait!
At some point will there be a physical version of arcane ugly? I know that it would be a big undertaking but we RPG players love our books. For the Q&A.
1:09 TINY CAT!!!!... oh, sorry, Trent, you were saying something about Arcane Ugly? I really enjoyed that Trent went the extra mile with doing more than just one set-up in this video. It could have just been a straight piece to camera; but, instead, it moves around the studio.
Congrats! I subscribed to your channel just to watch the development of this project, it has been a great time! Hope to see more projects like this in the future!
I haven't donated to Patreon but I have watched this game grow from the videos you put out and I'm really glad you finally got the game into a complete state, not finished, because no game is, but functional and fleshed out. I'm happy an idea became beautiful reality and proud of you and all who contributed. The proud bit sounds a bit weird to me bc I'm kinda just an internet stranger that lurked until the release but hopeful it isn't weird :D
Very cool man 👌 I’m finally dipping my toes in ttrpg’s and whilst i’m starting with the basis (5e) i’m looking forward to diving in arcane ugly. Congrats !
Wow, congrats miscast and crew! This series has really inspired me to continue my own ttrpg, although I’m still a long way off from it being ready. I have been working on it for years now and things are coming together, but I’m always afraid to share what my work in progress with the world. do you have any advice on how to start sharing your work to people and building a community around it? Can’t wait to see more from you guys. Best of luck with the launch I will be buying a copy soon x
Q&A: I am hoping to get a group started soon and I was wondering what your tips on giving out magic items would be? How many should I Give the party, how often, Should I do random, and how many Koppa should they sell for on the rare timeline when my groupe sells a magic item? All that fun stuff
This is amazing, congratulations so far! It looks great and can't wait to see how far it will go. If you ever want custom miniatures for it, send me a message
Coming in late, but as a suggestion to you Miscast to help spread the word about Arcane Ugly a bit, you might reach out to 'The Questing Beast''s youtube channel and offer a review copy of the game. Ben does a bunch of reviews of OSR styled RPGs and while Arcane Ugly might not be OSR exactly, it is similar in simplicity and the sheer weirdness of its contents is right up Ben's alley. I honestly got similar vibes to Ben's own 'Maze Rats' game when I saw the kinds of things available in Arcane Ugly.
For Q&A how would you recommend someone to learn different table top ideas like you did to mash them up and make the best game possible? Learning all the different table top games takes way to long
Hi there! Your process of making this game is so inspiring. It actually pushed me to finally make my own rpg (which was my dream). I'm so glad I can finally get to play your game, and cannot wait for any uptades! :D Lots of love
heres an idea for the sort of climax for the starter adventure. Since the worlds weird and fantastical why not have the villain be our reality normal . I mean in my opinion whats weirder than a normal person in this kind of setting and i know you cant say normal in a sense since everything is twisted and strange but i personally think that someone who's going crazy because they think the worlds crazy seems very appropriate. ijust had a thought and wanted to contriute since you have a lot on your plate. also great work ive been following the journey since the start and im so happy that your dreams are starting to bear fruit. good luck and may everything stay tigglyfrump and joobilicious!
Dragonmeet happens later next week in London. What is the skin chance that you Writtle be there showcasing Arcane Ugly? What would be the slimmer chance that you would have rushed print copies available in a bag?
I'm really happy for you!!! And more important you seem happy too!!! I'm hoping this project goes better than the expectation and I will buy it as soon I end the uni, because if I buy it now I will not study what I should study 😅. Awesome work man!.
Hello, I have been working on my own TTRPG for almost two years now and am very happy to see yours coming along so nicly sense watching your vidios on Arcane Ugly often reinvigerated me to push on with my game. My question is, what is your top tip/tips for others who want to make an rpg?
just got done rewatching this series, its so inspirational and makes me want to make my own ttrpg some day. im curious if the game has been updated despite the lack of videos? or am i just missing the videos? or is the project just done? sorry if its an annoying question, im sure you hear it a lot, i just think arcane ugly is really cool and would love to see more from it!
arcaneugly.com
Mad congrts man. Such an exciting part of your creative goals and dreams! Seeing things come to fruition and grow!
What is the DR ability and what is the range of numbers to cause a miscast?
Loving this!!!
Also, I’ve found a few potential errata, what would be the best way to let you know so they can be remedied?
I found the Discord server!
Can we take a moment to appreciate the term “whimdark”?
Congrats Trent!

It's HERE! So happy I could help in my own small way! You've made something really awesome here Trent 💜

I don't have words to describe how happy I am right now, really proud of you Trent, thank you for doing it for us
Looks incredible! This is one of those games that will become a living, breathing entity once a creative community forms around it.
It’s so cool to how much this project is just a culmination of community creativity orchestrated my one man lad.

Did you say “whim-dark”? Great word hahaha
I stole it from a comment here! 10/10

Been here since the very beginning and absolutely unreal to see the quality. Can’t wait to play it
You have been inspiring man, i've been here from the start and you finished your TTRPG before i did.
I hope only the best and more for you

i'v been here since the beginning and i'm genuinely so happy to finally get to playing with my friends
good job dude
Damnit Trent! Another killer shirt design.
Been here since the beginning. So excited!
Congrats on the first release!
Q&A: When you started working on this, did you think you would actually release it?
For the q&a: how do i make arcane ugly style miniatures/will we get a tutorial on that?
Very cool man 👌
I’m finally dipping my toes in ttrpg’s and whilst i’m starting with the basis (5e) i’m looking forward to diving in arcane ugly.
Congrats !
Congrats dude! Your journey has inspired me to create my own ttrpg and it's gone through about 5 iterations but slowly its coming along! Lol
Holy cow, congratulations dude! I’ve been watching this channel since you first revealed arcane ugly, can’t wait to play!!!
Wow, congrats miscast and crew! This series has really inspired me to continue my own ttrpg, although I’m still a long way off from it being ready.

Congratulations Dude. Incredible, the amount of work and quality you and everyone have made
Arcane Ugly Box Set... :O
Say less! I couldn't be more excited!!
Wow, glad it came together!!
Hell Yes!
Coming in late, but as a suggestion to you Miscast to help spread the word about Arcane Ugly a bit, you might reach out to 'The Questing Beast''s youtube channel and offer a review copy of the game. Ben does a bunch of reviews of OSR styled RPGs and while Arcane Ugly might not be OSR exactly, it is similar in simplicity and the sheer weirdness of its contents is right up Ben's alley. I honestly got similar vibes to Ben's own 'Maze Rats' game when I saw the kinds of things available in Arcane Ugly.
I've been on Ben's channel and he shares all my updates!! Ben is the best. Thankyou!
For Q&A how would you recommend someone to learn different table top ideas like you did to mash them up and make the best game possible? Learning all the different table top games takes way to long
Fricken love your art style for this game
Hi there! Your process of making this game is so inspiring. It actually pushed me to finally make my own rpg (which was my dream). I'm so glad I can finally get to play your game, and cannot wait for any uptades! :D Lots of love
What an amazing project congratulations man, love the graphics
Can we get Brendan Lee Mulligan or the Mercernator to play it? Surely, this needs to be a thing? Amazing work, Trent!
Brennan would be perfect for this! I'd kill to see a collab between him and Trent
heres an idea for the sort of climax for the starter adventure. Since the worlds weird and fantastical why not have the villain be our reality normal . I mean in my opinion whats weirder than a normal person in this kind of setting and i know you cant say normal in a sense since everything is twisted and strange but i personally think that someone who's going crazy because they think the worlds crazy seems very appropriate. ijust had a thought and wanted to contriute since you have a lot on your plate. also great work ive been following the journey since the start and im so happy that your dreams are starting to bear fruit. good luck and may everything stay tigglyfrump and joobilicious!
CONGRATULATIONS!! IT'S AN RPG!!
I don't know how I missed this video / announcement! I just bought AU!!! I'm so excited and can't wait for a print edition.
Q&A: How much time do you spend per weak working on Arcane Ugly?
I'm so hyped to finally get my hands on this! Gonna read through the whole thing today!
I’m blown away by this coming to be…but even more blown away by the KITTEN CAMEO 😻
Dragonmeet happens later next week in London. What is the skin chance that you Writtle be there showcasing Arcane Ugly? What would be the slimmer chance that you would have rushed print copies available in a bag?
Can't wait to see what's in this video!
Ditto
I'm really happy for you!!! And more important you seem happy too!!! I'm hoping this project goes better than the expectation and I will buy it as soon I end the uni, because if I buy it now I will not study what I should study 😅. Awesome work man!.
Aw heck yes. And I'd be in on crowd funding a printed edition and goodies down the road
Oooo. Love the art style and tarot cards! Must check out.
WHOOOAH CONGRATS MAN. The game looks SOOO so good.
this is amazing !! really excited to play !
This just keeps looking more awesome.
This has inspired me to make my own ttrpg,but I’ve also wondered how did you come up with the art style that you used in arcane ugly
What's your best piece of advice or wisdom for someone creating their own TTRPG from scratch? Love all your work xx
As a long time TTRPG afficionado with his own UA-cam channel I do believe I'm going to have to download this...and maybe review it in a video...
Just downloaded the SRD and scrolled through it, this is a very nice system.
Good job (=
Awesome work can’t wait to try it out
Hello, I have been working on my own TTRPG for almost two years now and am very happy to see yours coming along so nicly sense watching your vidios on Arcane Ugly often reinvigerated me to push on with my game.
My question is, what is your top tip/tips for others who want to make an rpg?
congrats! you inspired me to take on my own TTRPG project
Congratulations on finally making it here, love what you do! if we buy the beta, would we have to also buy every update as well?
Had to support you
Its offical, you've passed the OSR Rite of Passage!
Congrats this is exciting! : D
what's your favourite item from arcane ugly?
Q&A: Ever thought about adding some modern-ish things, like pre-industrial firearms or magic equivalents of 20th century tech
For the Q&A What did you most and least enjoyed learning about during this whole process?
For qna: kinda a odd question but did you handletter all of the title text or did you make it a proper typeface
just got done rewatching this series, its so inspirational and makes me want to make my own ttrpg some day. im curious if the game has been updated despite the lack of videos? or am i just missing the videos? or is the project just done? sorry if its an annoying question, im sure you hear it a lot, i just think arcane ugly is really cool and would love to see more from it!
For the first in the book campaign I feel like froghemoth or equivalent should be in it
Huzzah,, so proud of You'all!
Hell yeah! Also pink is a great colour
Will we be getting more videos about Arcane ugly as you update it? I really enjoy them
WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
I'm very on board for the physical books!
Congrajulashons mr Trent sir! U a good boy! 🥰🐶
Congrats mate!
I'm very interested to hear more about how a tarot deck is incorporated into the game.
