When the land falls dark,
the Sun and Moon meet
and Stars fall from the sky.
Four fateless heroes
enter a monument of old,
hoping to find an answer,
to the greatest question of all:
Why?

WELCOME TO THE MONUMENT

Runecycle is a fantasy TTRPG about fate, cycles and you. You and your allies brave a Monument, a great structure built by an ancient civilization in hopes of finding answers to the mystery of your magical powers.

OLD YET NEW

Inspired by Whitehack, Grimwild, City of Mist and Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG, Runecycle combines minimalist system design with old-school dungeon crawling and modern storytelling, creating an experience that is fast, fluid and full of player creativity.

• Tag-system inspired by City of Mist
• Two-dice resolution and static target number, combining Year Zero Engine with Fabula Ultima
• Magic inspired by Whitehack, Avatar the Last Airbender and various superhero comics and movies
• Combat is free, tactical and snappy, inspired by Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG
• Party cohesion inspired by Grimwild
• Level-less narrative leveling-up inspired by Slugblaster

MONUMENTS

Inspired by GRIS, Neva and Journey, Monuments are ancient structures with a greater purpose. Players don't enter to find loot or monsters to slay, instead they brave the Monument out of curiosity and need for answers. During their adventures characters complete Milestones on their personal Path to growth and self-actualization.
