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!
