Runecairn is a hack of Cairn a rules, light, dungeons, and dragons variant.
It is designed for one game master called the Warden and one player.
That is because the game is designed to emulate souls likes, and Norse mythology.
Your player has a lot of combat options and it’s an awesome bad ass, but expect to die often.
Resurrection is a mechanic. You will learn by being killed by cheap monsters, and then you will know what not to do.
You do not have infinite lives, and until you can be fully restored, your stats, go down.
If you die too many times, it’s for real. Your story is over.

I like losing limbs in game. That means I can get some kind of magic/mechanical replacement that’s better than the crappy meat I had before!
Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah
The usage, of, commas is, entirely unnerving.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. I should explain . I’m suffering from an autoimmune condition where every joint is inflamed. I use auto voice text and then try to go back and fix it before I press send. I don’t always manage to fix everything.
Voice text inserts, sometimes where I don’t want them.
I do apologize for the unnerving experience, and will attempt to improve.
I hope you’re having a great night gamer!
Don’t apologize, dude. It was just some lighthearted banter, not meant as serious feedback at all. My mother-in-law has RA and I have Hashimoto’s. Autoimune diseases suck and I wish you good days ahead.
Sorry about you guys. Definitely hope you get relief. I have hope for me!
steroid shots may be coming.
( I’m also autistic. I have the darndest time with banter. I’m damn lucky I haven’t been defrauded. There are studies. Autistic people . not only can we not detect humor sometimes. we often Can’t tell when we’re being lied to.)
But I have a question. Have you ever encountered any adventure, or monster or scenario where you were like this is really awesome but it’s super cheap and none of my players would live.
Because that would be perfect for me to run in Runecairn!
Honestly, if it weren’t mostly traps, which I don’t like the tomb of horrors would be great.
And I wish you and yours all the best as well, my friend.
Have you heard of Paranoia RPG? The game assumes you’re going to die a couple of times in a session so you start with six clones ready to be decanted in a vat. It’s sci-fi though, and pretty hard / impossible to adapt to a high fantasy seeing.
I have! Its quite Fun. I actually really like the pitch black humor like how everyone is a mutant, and knows it ( that they are nothing. Everyone else’s ) including all members of the mutant hating society. Also, the fact that the hated communism had to be invented from old movies and propaganda film because this whole thing had nothing to do with the cold war is it all started because of an accident in the far future.
Thank you so much for mentioning this game. It is a classic.
I have I think two different versions in several of the classic adventures in an omnibus.
I found a very old and battered copy on my FLGS and had to have it. I think it’s the second edition. The rule system is rather byzantine, but it was such a fun read! I haven’t ever been able to play it, though.
