Runestar D12 is a mass-fantasy wargame, set in an 'Early Medieval' world.

The combat engine uses a one-roll dice mechanic to ensure swift play. Magick is resolved using an innovative 'Rune Card' system which rewards creativity and quick-thinking.

Players can use any miniatures they wish to represent the armies of Runestar - your imagination is the only limit. The game runs best with 28mm or 15mm miniatures.

All units are built using a mathematical formula and there are plentiful special rules to provide players with variety.

The core rulebook comes with eleven army lists, a bestiary, six scenarios and forty-eight rune cards.

The book is filled with original art and lore, bringing the world of Goragaia to life. Narrative wargamers and role-players are more than welcome to immerse themselves in this original fantasy setting.

This is only the First Edition and many an expansion and campaign setting is in the works, drawing on over ten years of world-building and story-writing.

Ready your mount and charge your rune blade, general. The Runestar Saga has only just begun...
