Our Brilliant Ruin is a roleplaying game where the corrosive light of a dead and distant star has befouled the world. Only the Dramark remains, the last vestiges of a gilded society unraveling against the backdrop of this preternatural catastrophe. Here, aristocrats cling to their crumbling estates, truefolk struggle to maintain the status quo, and unbonded rebel against it all while Ruined horrors and rusted machines prowl the countryside.
The campaign features the all-new Our Brilliant Ruin Starter Set aimed at first-time players looking for an introduction to the world of Our Brilliant Ruin while offering returning players a new venture in the Dramark.

“A starter set is the perfect way for people with busy lives to see what Our Brilliant Ruin has to offer,” said Justin Achilli, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder of Studio Hermitage. “The game systems are streamlined and there’s almost zero prep time, so your group can start telling its story in the Dramark right away!”

It also makes available a Kickstarter exclusive Ruined Edition of the Our Brilliant Ruin Core rulebook. It features a vegan leather cover, bookmark ribbons of unknown provenance, and a black-ink edge treatment that absorbs more wholesome light. This limited Ruined Edition won’t be printed again after the campaign.
