Our Brilliant Ruin RPG

The rules in the core book are laid out so clearly that I had a group of new players rolling characters and diving into the Dramark within twenty minutes of opening the box. The way the Ruin's corruption is woven into the mechanics makes every session feel tense and unpredictable.

The setting of Dramark really pulls you in, I’ve already spent hours just reading through the world lore. The Ruin as a preternatural force adds a nice layer of dread to the gameplay, though the book could use a bit more guidance on how to pace that tension.

The setting is incredibly rich, and the concept of the Ruin as a corrupting force makes for some truly tense storytelling. I just wish the rulebook did a better job of explaining how that preternatural force works mechanically during play.
