Runecycle
A downloadable TTRPG
When the land falls dark,
the Sun and Moon meet
and Stars fall from the sky.
Four fateless heroes
enter a monument of old.
Their fates forever changed,
to find a path to call their own.
YOU ARE A FATEBREAKER
The Runecycle controls the fate of the world. But you hold a Rune - a piece of creation itself - that lets you break fate and carve your own Path. You and your allies brave a Monument - a great structure built by an ancient civilization - hoping to find a way to break the cycle and escape your fate.
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 creative, tactical and quick, inspired by Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG and various OSR games.
- Party cohesion inspired by Grimwild
- Level-less narrative leveling-up inspired by Slugblaster
FOLLOW YOUR PATH TO THE MONUMENT
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.
