RuneScape Kingdoms from Steamforged Games launches in the wild today. So ditch the MMO but keep the RPG, and dive into Gielinor.

RuneScape carved out a legend for itself as a long-running MMORPG. With a dedicated player base, who are almost rabid for Old School RuneScape, as it’s called, the game is still kicking, 23 years later. A triumph of Jagex. And now, Steamforged Games wants to bring the expansive world, but maybe not the slime-killing grind, to your tabletop with their newest book, RuneScape Kingdoms.

What’s more, it has a lot of that RuneScape feel to it. Because it’s not just another fantasy delver type game. Though you will do plenty of D&D-esque stuff in there, one of the big highlights of the RuneScape RPG is a whole new core system that will let you craft a hero who’s good at crafting. That’s right, this RPG comes with rules for mining, smithing, and fishing. At long last, an RPG that isn’t afraid to put a fishing minigame in its rules. The Runescape RPG is up for pre-order now, you can check it out on DriveThruRPG
