Fantasy Roleplaying in a World of Machines & Magic.
Revised and Expanded Edition

"The combination of RPG and wargame helps give Rune Stryders an impressive scope... This is a nicely complex setting; politically I mean, and that means you can ignore it if you want..."

"It opens up one of the best aspects of a fantasy RPG to all the players rather than limiting to a select few and then making them sacrifice something else in return... It's a flexible game..."

"I like the look and feel of Rune Stryders... The PDF has all of [Precis Intermedia's] e-book experience... Rune Stryders could become one of those cult classics, you know, like Kult, The Whispering Vault and, er, Ninja Burger."

Rune Stryders is a new direction in fantasy roleplaying. The game introduces Stryders, towering war machines (think mecha) brought to life through runic magic and guided by skilled pilots. These Stryders come in varied forms, from the steel-clad behemoths of the Confederated Nations to the living, walking trees of the Kantarin. The Sivatagi of the northern deserts control giant insects with runes, while the primitive Draslander augment their scavenged Stryders with bones and skulls.

Civil war within the Confederated Nations threatens to engulf the world of Rhun, and the Outcast Nations wait impatiently for their chance to strike back at the countries that have enforced their exile for so many years. Who will stand against the tide of chaos?
