Final Book Features
Here’s what we’ve been working on! -Richard and the Ruttigers Crew

Our base set of Core Rules, including our much beloved Break20 mechanic, and expanded Ancillary Rules, and a plethora of optional rules to make your game run how you like. We all like to tweak the rules, so we’ll give you a few options that can be swapped out or plugged in.

The expanded 24 Character Classes, each with a unique play style, some of which you’ve likely never seen at the table before.

The full character cauldron includes Stat Blocks, over 50 Special Traits, and everything you need to custom-build monsters and NPCs in minutes.
Creature Bestiary
A full bestiary of our 20 Creature Types, and over 200 Creatures, with guidelines on how you build and customize your own beasties.
Skirmish & Siege
Quick and easy rules for Small Unit Skirmishes, laying Siege against Structures, Ship to Ship Combat, and rules for battling Behemoth Creatures, you may need a small army to fight.
Game Widgets
A plethora of mini games that inspire exploration and add flavour to downtime sessions. This will include wee widgets like Drinking Rules, Field Alchemy, Foraging & Hunting rules, and an Item Enchantment system, and much more!
Setting Gazetteer
A gazetteer of locations in our Ruttigers Setting, the setting Cosmology, a guide to the City of Rhoringhad, all brimming with interesting NPCs, nasty beasts, and juicy story hooks and set pieces.
