Ruin REBORN - Collector's Edition Reprint & TTRPG

We heard you loud and clear. A steampunk world as big as RUIN's needs an RPG. There're simply too many delves to handle alone, and with the realm on the brink of another Crusade, spoils are ripe for the picking.

But we had two conditions:
1) It had to be our own bespoke system
and
2) It had to be solo-able.

So that is what we made.

Introducing the RUIN: ROLEPLAYING GAME, created by Alex Norman in conjunction with RUIN creator Brandon Berryhill and veteran illustrator Brandon Ellis.

RUIN: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME runs on the A.G.E (Authocracy's Gaming Engine) system. This is a rules-light, momentum-driven tabletop roleplaying system designed from the ground up to put the mechanical weight in your players' hands and the narrative power firmly in yours. It is built for Game Masters who want to run cinematic, story-driven sessions without drowning in preparation.

Ruin is a land scarred by forgotten wars. Across the realm, shattered relics and hollowed battlefields lie undisturbed since the wars that created them. Ash and ruin coat the land, and under the light of the Broken Moon in the skies, people fight to survive.

Despite the progress made in recovery, a powerful figure rules through divine tyranny, far away from Her throne atop the Golden Spire. The Prophetess of the Holy Land claims divine right and absolute control over the land, and hordes tech and Awakened souls to her nefarious cause.

The RUIN ROLEPLAYING GAME places you into this delicate period in Ruin's history. The ceasefire that kept a tenuous peace is cracking. The Prophetess is sending her faithful north once again to divide the fragile realm. Talk of a new Crusade steeps the streets from Rock Bottom to Hurria. The word is, this time She will not compromise.

You are an airship crew in a world that wants to swallow you whole. You venture where many won't; into the wastes where the old world buried its secrets; into Holy Land territory where the Awakened are kept in chains; and into unknown skies where far worse things than marauders dwell.

The great powers below fester in their fragile lull in war, but they don't own the skies, and they don't own you.

You and your crew have the world at your fingertips - but sail carefully. There are great treasures to be found in the depths of Ruin, but your kind are not looked upon fondly. And a far worse fate may befall any Awakened within your company.
