The new version includes rules for dungeon crawling, hexcrawling, and more traditional unstructured campaigns as well, and is a setting-agnostic system which does come with an example campaign. Ruin Masters is an adaptation of that, providing a rules expansion and an English translation. The game took off and was one of the most popular games in Sweden, and had a “retro version” released in Swedish in 2016.
“Drakar och Demoner” was a Swedish RPG released in 1982 which was an offshoot of Runequest in mechanical terms. Ruin Masters doesn’t tell you much with its name, but it’s an interesting OSR-adjacent project. Whether you’re looking for old-school Swedish dungeon crawling, 1980s wizards, or a two player game about ‘The Chase’, there are ten solid games here to contemplate as the days get longer and warmer. There was a bumper crop of fresh ideas showing themselves on Kickstarter, and sadly only ten of them can fit in this month’s rundown. Spring has sprung! With it, the games are coming up through cracks in the pavement.
